Our Vedas (Certain Revelations) - Part 13 - By Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji.

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

Gokarna did ‘shrãdham’ for Dhundhukãri and his mother.

He then returned home.

What happens then? Dhundhukari comes before him in the

form of a spirit. His legs do not touch the ground.

Gokarna asks him, “Who are you?”

The ghost says, “I am Dhundhukãri.”

Gokarna says, “I had offered ‘pinda’ for you in Gaya.”

 

Dhundhukari says, “I have not reached ashore through

all these. I am still suffering.” Gokarna does not

know what to do. He does Surya ‘upãsana’ (worship).

Surya speaks to him directly. “Ask him to listen to

Bhãgavatam. Build a big ‘pandal’. Install (‘ãvãhana’)

him in a bamboo and perform Bhagavata ‘katha sravana’

for seven days.”

 

Ãtma deva did as bid. The bamboo had seven joints. At

the end of each day of reading the Bhãgavatam a joint

(‘kannu’) in the bamboo burst out. On the seventh day

the seventh ‘kannu’ burst and Dhundhukãri attained a

divine form. The Vishnu ‘dhootãs’ (agents of Lord

Vishnu) came down to take away Dhundhukãri to

Vaikunta.

 

Gokarna had also read the Bhãgavatam and innumerable

people had listened to it. They exclaim, ‘We also

listened to the Bhãgavatam. But why didn’t you appear

to us?’ The Vishnu ‘dhootãs’explain, ‘Na tatha mananam

kritam’ - You have not listened to the Bhãgavatam as

he had done. All of you will also attain but in the

last moment of your life. But, how did Dhundhukãri

listen? He was in deep suffering (‘avasthai’). The

japa/prayer done in deep suffering is certainly

different from that done at other times. He was in

great difficulty. So, to be liberated from that pain

he had listened to the Bhãgavatam with deep interest.

If others had listened to the Bhãgavatam with the same

amount of involvement Moksha could have been attained

by them also.

 

So, Mahans have shown two ‘mãrgãs’ in Kali. One

‘mãrga’ is ‘katha sravanam’ and the other is

‘kirtanam’. These are the only ways that will do

‘uddharana' (liberate) of all ‘jiivarãsiis’.

 

GOPIKA JEEVANASMARANAM!

GOVINDA! GOVINDA!”
