Why Nama Sankirtan Apt path in this yuga? Part-3 By Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,

 

Who is an enlightened one?

One who believes that he knows nothing.

 

Who is most unfortunate?

One who wastes his entire life trying to solve problems that were created due to

unnecessary indulgence.

 

--- SRI SRI MURALIDHARA SWAMIJI

======================================================

 

                      Why Nama Sankirtan Apt path in this yuga? 

 

Has Ram avatar served the purpose of the Lord's incarnation? No. What is the

reason for this? Till date actions of Rama in having hit Vali, hiding behind a

tree and the like are being questioned. So Bhagavan decides to take an Avatar

exhibiting his entire prowess.

" Tam adbutam balakam ambujekshanam, chaturbujam, shankagadharyudayudam,

srivatsalakshmam galashobikoustubam " .

 

Bhagavan took an Avatar that exhibited His divinity right from His birth. His

birth itself is a marvel! Even as a babe Bhagavan destroyed asuras like Putana,

Trinavarta, Sakatasura, etc. The entire Bhagavatam is filled with His wonderful

divine lilas. One wonder after another! (¡Adbutam'! 'adbutam'! 'adbutam'!). This

is the reason that it starts with " Tam adbutam balakam " (That, wonderful

child!). It is filled with His wonderful feats. Krishna's life ('charitra') is

an extraordinary ('amanushya') one.

 

Well! Did this Avatar whence Bhagavan exhibited His entire glory fulfill His

desire? The answer is a simple 'No' once again! Many like Sisupala abuse

Bhagavan, asuras like Kamsa attack Krishna and there have been innumerable

people who have abused Him during His 'life time'. Not only this but Bhagavan

also shows His colossal form ('Viswaroopa') to Arjuna. Probably just for that

moment Arjuna felt awed; wondering, " is this the One who has been so friendly

with me? " but within a few days he is his old self again, having forgotten the

colossal form. There is absolutely no sign of any transformation in Arjuna. He

even wonders if it were some sort of a hallucination! So, in Krishavatar also

Bhagavan's wish was not fulfilled.

 

Neither the Vedas nor Rama-Krishnavatars fulfilled the wish of the Lord.

Bhagavan, therefore, felt that He Himself should not come down to the earth.

 

" Kalau Khalu bhavishyanti Narayana parayanah "

" Tamraparni nadhi yatra kritamala payasvini "

 

says the Bhagavatam.

 

In this Kali Yuga innumerable Sadhus will come down to the earth.

 

Well! How will these Sadhus who come down in this Kali Yuga be? They will not be

in the garb of an ascetic ('sanyasi') who remains aloof and away from the

people, instead will mingle freely with the worldly ('samsariis'). None of the

Azhwars, the Nayanmars, Pandaripura Bhaktas were sanyasis. The Sadhus in this

Kali Yuga will mingle with the simple folks, live amidst the worldly, cleanse

their minds ('chitta shuddhi'), transform them into a beautiful golden flower

and throw them at the Feet of Bhagavan, even without their knowledge.
