JAABAALI MAHARSHI , THE TRUTHFUL

 

Jabal is an innocent , illiterate , poor orphan girl

 

eking out Her livelihood working as a maid in

 

Hermitages in a forest. One night a Celestial

 

appeared in Her dream and blessed Her with

 

a Son . In course of time a Son was born to this

 

unwed Mother Jabal and She raised Her Son as

 

a Single Mom strictly in the tradition of those

 

Hermitages where She is working. Jabal always

 

insisted that Her Son should always speak the Truth,

 

be Honest , Sincere and Truthful.

 

When the time came for Her Son to be educated in

 

Vedic Tradition Jabal sent Her Son to a Senior Guruji

 

to get Himself registered as a Sishya in The Gurukulam.

 

At the time of Registration Guruji asked the boy His

 

name , His Father's name and His Gothra etc.

 

The Boy Truthfully said that He does not know who

 

His Father is , does not have a Name and is not

 

aware of any Gothra particulars. Guruji is very

 

impressed with the Boy's honesty and asked Him

 

to bring His Mother . Jabal approached Guruji and

 

testified to all that is stated by Her Son and told Her

 

name only - Jabal. ( Note : In Scandinavian Countries

 

Schools accept either Parent.s name and no State

 

Agency demands to know Father's Name .)

 

Guruji accepted the Boy , named Him

 

SATHYAKAAMA JAABAALI = Truth-speaking son of

 

Madam Jabal..

 

SATHYAKAAMA JAABAALI became a great Vedic

 

Scholar under the tutelage of Guruji and opened His

 

own Gurukulam . SATHYAKAAMA JAABAALI

 

remained True to His Name and true to what His

 

Mother and Guruji Told Him to be always Honest and

 

Truthful.

 

One day a Hunter chased a wild boar which sought

 

refuge in SathyaKaama Jaabaali Maharshi's Aashram.

 

The hunter requested Jaabaali Maharshi to give up the

 

boar . SATHYAKAAMA JAABAALI MAHARSHI replied-

 

" O NOBLE HUNTER , MY EYES HAVE SEEN THE BOAR

 

BUT THEY CANNOT SPEAK , I AM SORRY ;

 

MY TONGUE CAN SAY WHERE THE BOAR IS BUT IT

 

HAS NO EYES AND HENCE CANNOT SEE , I AM SORRY.

 

PLEASE GO AWAY AND SEEK YOUR PREY ELSEWHERE . "

 

TRUTH SHALL ALWAYS PREVAIL.

 

Om Thath Sath , Sahanaa Vavathu , Om Shaanthi.

 

Sathyameva Jayathe. Sathyam Vada . Dharmam Chara.
