Guest guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 " What is the importance of Satsang? " One of the Mahatmas explained this thru a dialogue between Devarshi Narada and Lord Narayana..and the sequence of events thus happened. Narada asks this question to the Lord in anticipation of getting it clarified from the god. Lord instead of answering, he directs Narada to put this question to a tiny, dirty creature taking birth at the same time. Narada, Wondered about the suggestion but with all the love and respect to the Lord Narayana visits the new born creature and asks the question " What is the importance of Satsang? " Listening to the question, the creature dies instantly. Confused by this, Narada approached Lord, narrates the incident and requests to clarify his doubt. Lord Naraya, directs him to ask this to to be born calf. Wondering again, Narada does as directed by his Lord. Comes to earth, asks this question to the new born calf. To his astonishment, the moment the calf dies on the very moment it listens to the question. Shocked with what happened, Narada went back to Vaikuntha and asks Lord in a frustrated voice to clarify his doubt rather than making him shuttle between earth and vaikunta. Lord Narayana smilingly directs him this time to approach a to be born prince on earth. Fearing what would happen to the new born if he asks the question, but as he has no other means of getting his doubt clarified, Narada approached the new born prince on earth and asks this question " What is the importance of Satsang? " The very moment the prince saw Narada, he turns around in a prostrating approach and expresses his gratitude to Narada saying Oh sage How lukcy I am that I could have the Darshan of such a great sage thrice Once as he was born as a creature, the punya of that darshan relieved him of his sins to take a better janma as calf Second time he had the darshana of Sage Narada as new born calf. This time he is blessed to take better and most valuable janma as a prince. Thus the new born goes on explaining, if Darshana of sage gives such a Punya. How much punya will be given by the company of great saints(satsang) Sadhunam Darsanam Punyam.....
