SAI AS KRISHNA part 2—by saibanisa

 

 

Duryodhan could not tolerate

Pandavas leading an undisturbed life during their Vanavas. Duryodhan therefore

hatched a plan and sent Doorvas maharshi along with his thousand sishyas to

their place. He was sure that Pandavas with their meagre facilities cannot

extend hospitality to so many people and that would put Pandavas to

humiliation. Obviously Draupadi cannot serve food to all of them would

certainly invite the anger and curse of Doorvas maharshi. Doorvas maharshi

arrived at noon in Pandavas place and conveyed to Draupadi that he and his

entire team would be back in an hour and ordered her to make preparations

accordingly. Draupadi was at a loss to understand as to what was to be done. By

then Pandavas had already finished their lunch and nothing was left over. The

utensils were already washed.

 

During Vanavas period, it was

normal practice for the Pandavas to take food only one time in a day. She

invoked Lord Sri Krishna. Krishna asked

Draupadi as to why she was upset. She narrated the whole incident to Krishna. She told him that all the food was finished and

nothing was left to serve Doorvas maharshi and she was helpless to find a way

out.Krisna said “show me the utensilsâ€. One grain was still left in the rice

bowl. Lord Krishna ate the same.

 

 

Soon Doorvas maharshi and

sishyas were coming out of the river after having a bath and were found

belching with their stomachs full. Doorvas maharshi conveyed to Draupadi that

their bellies were full and would not have anything more.

 

It may not be out of place to

mention here that in some books, one grain left in the utensil turned up into

many tasty dishes, later served by Draupadi.

 

While I was looking for any

such similar incident taken place in Sai Satcharita. I could come across with

the one in 35th chapter that happened with Nevaskar family. It happened on the

occasion of Nevaskar’s annual ceremony in Nevas village.

 

They have invited about

hundred guests for lunch and accordingly Nevaskar’s wife ordered her

daughter-in-law to prepare food. However more than three hundred turned up and

Nevaskar’s daughter-in-law looked helplessly towards her mother-in-law. The

mother-in-law advised her daughter-in-law to observe patience and not to be

pertrubed.She said, “Our Saikrishna is there, and Baba’s udhi is there.Do not

lift the cover and serve food to guests. Baba shall take care of everythingâ€.

With firm faith both ladies served all the guests who arrived and towards the

end, they were surprised to find food still remaining in the utensils. Just as

Lord Krishna came to the rescue of Draupadi in Bhagavatham, our Saikrishna came

to the rescue of Mrs.Nevaskar in saving their honour in the needed hour.

 

Let us now touch upon

Bhagavatham.

 

We know from Bhagavatham that

Sukha maharshi narrated Bhagavatham to

king Parikshat in seven days and granted ‘sadhgati’ to him. If we look

to Sai Satcharita for any such incident having taken place, we come across one

in the 31st chapter. Saint Vijayanand came from Madras state in the year 1911 for having

Baba’s darshan. Baba knew that his end was coming near and advised him to read

Bhagavatham for two weeks. But Vjayanand was found restless while having

darshan of Baba, as a telegram came to him from his native place asking him to

start immediately as his mother was serious. He wanted to go to Madras and sought Baba’s

permission. Baba asked him as to why he should still crave for the worldly

affairs and relationships even after adopting Saffron robes. Baba knew that his

mother had already passed away and that sadghati should be granted to

Vijayananad.

 

Baba said-“Do not worry, keep

cool and complete reading Bhagavatham in two weeks timeâ€.

 

 

Thus Sukha maharshi granted

sadhgati to Parikshat maharaj after listening to Bhagavatham for a week. Baba

granted sadhgati to Vijayanand after he completed reading of Bhagavatham in two

weeks.

 

 

Baba not only granted

sadhgati to Vijayanad, but also to Thatya saheb Noolkar, Megha shyam and a

tiger. When Thatya died Baba said- “there is no rebirth to Thatyaâ€.

 

Let us go back to Bhagavatham

again. Prahlad, son of Hiranyakashyapa and Dhruva, son of king Uttanapadha were

both engaged in worship of Lord Sri Maha Vishnu as young lads. You may very

well ask me why I am referring to some children who worshiped Lord Vishnu.

 

Till 1908 Baba never agreed

for anyone to worship him. However a child by name Bapu Rao made it routine

practice to pluck a rose flower from their garden, go to Maruti temple, and

place the flower at Maruti’s feet before attending School. On a particular day

Bapu Rao plucked two rose flowers, placed one on Baba’s head, and placed the

other one in the Maruti temple before leaving for School. All devotees gathered

around Baba were surprised as to why Baba allowed that child to worship.

 

Shyama questioned and Baba

said, “The small boy could see God in me and the day you all can see God in me,

all of you can start worshiping meâ€.

 

From that day onwards Baba

allowed people to worship Him. Just as the two boys Prahlad and Druva in

Bhagavatham worshiped Lord Vishnu, six year old Bapu Rio became a role model

for all of us today to worship Baba.
