Our Vedas (Certain Revelations) - Part 11 - By Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji.

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

The Yati asks him to embrace sanyãsa. He refuses

(adamantly). But, later on he does take up sanyãsa!

What does one understand from this? If the Mahan says

something he makes him do it later. Voluntarily he

takes up sanyãsa and goes behind the Yati though now

he refuses. He says, “Bless me with a child.”

As Ãtma deva was adamant the Yati reads his fate. He

says, “You were not destined to have a child the past

seven janmãs and cannot have one in the seven janmãs

to come.” Hearing this Ãtma deva began to lament.

Since he wept bitterly the Yati blessed him with a

mango and said, “Give this to your wife. You will have

a child.”

 

Ãtma deva went home straight and gave it to his wife.

She was not too happy about it. She thought, “Who

asked this Brahmin to seek such a boon?” She was

indeed a ‘deergha darshi’ (one who can see the

future)! Who was to undergo pregnancy that is painful?

 

 

It would be painful if the child does not study well.

Right from conception, all through the life of the

child, the parents are worried about its welfare.

 

When a lady in pregnancy visits some home and happens

to see a mentally retarded child there, she would be

greatly perturbed about the state of her own yet-to-be

born child. Once the child is born she worries that

the child should be blessed with normal physical

faculties; then she wishes the child to be

intelligent, beautiful. If all these do come about

there would be the worry that the child should be

‘anukoola’ (supportive [to the parents]). It goes on

like this for a man. There is no end to it.

So, Ãtma deva’s wife thought, ‘Who is to suffer all

these? This Brahmin has sought such a boon from

someone. Did I desire all these?” She sent the Brahmin

away on pilgrimage. She threw away the mango into the

drum in which the cow is fed with water. The cow that

ate the mango gave birth to a human child with the

ears of a cow. So, the child was named Gokarna & Atma

deva’s wife who through the mango brought home the

baby born to her sister. She named the child

‘Dhundhukãri’

 

!!! Will Continue !!!
