The triplet that decides By Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,

 

Three terms find common usage in spiritual texts and discussions

“ Vidhi(Fate), Kaala (time) and Prarabdha (past actions). Are these one and the

same? They are not! There is a subtle, yet specific difference. The Lord

orchestrates his Prapancha Lila (Divine Cosmic play) with these three entities.

 

For any event to occur,

 

(Time) determines the exact time when an event should occur in one's life and

the duration it should last.

 

Prarabdha, which is the effect of the past action, determines the nature and

kind of the event.

 

The word Vidhi essentially means rules. Vidhi is the one that determines the

details of situation in which any

event occurs in terms of

place/person/opportunity and time.

 

For instance, if a person has to undergo a suffering, say a disease, the factor

Kaala decides when the suffering is to befall and how long the suffering shall

last. Prarabdha decides what disease he suffers from and the nature of pain.

 

Vidhi decides all the details of the situation in which he is during his

suffering, like those around him, his facilities, his monetary status and the

like.

 

Let us take the episode of the elephant king Gajendra from Srimad Bhagavatam.

 

Gajendra had to suffer pain in the clutches of the crocodile for over a thousand

years before he got relief. This is the ˜kaala for which he had to undergo the

ordeal.

 

It is the Prarabdha of Gajendra, which is the curse hurled by Sage Agasthya on

King Indradyumna that decided that he must be an elephant and suffer in the

clutches of a crocodile. Similarly, it is the Prarabdha of ˜Hoohoo " the

Gandharva to suffer as a crocodile brought about by Sage Devala's curse.

 

Fate brought about the situation in which these two were linked together and the

Lord's Disc, " Sudarshana " saved Gajendra and killed the crocodile, thus

releasing both from their curses.
