Interesting incident about Sri Krishna

[Guest guest]

I am quoting below the narration of this interesting incident by Sri

Ramana Maharishi in his talks.

 

 

Sri Bhagavan now warned the hearers against

the mistake of disparaging

a jnani for his apparent conduct and again cited the story of

Parikshit. He

was a still-born child. The ladies cried and appealed to Sri Krishna to

save the child. The sages round about wondered how Krishna was going

to save the child from the effects of the arrows (apandavastra) of

Asvatthama. Krishna said, “If the child be touched by one eternally

celibate (nityabrahmachari) the child would be brought to life.” Even

Suka dared not touch the child. Finding no one among the reputed saints

bold enough to touch the child, Krishna went and touched it, saying, “If

I am eternally celibate (nityabrahmachari) may the child be brought to

life.” The child began to breathe and later grew up to be Parikshit.

Just consider how Krishna surrounded by 16,000 gopis is a

brahmachari! Such is the mystery of jivanmukti! A jivanmukta is one

who does not see anything separate from the Self.

Hello my friend,

my understanding of this phrase is as follows:

A person as a free spirit of life sees God as all, there is nothing

separate or beyond from him, all is God, everything is the self ie

God, once we realise and practise this, we too become one with God

and united with the self.

Sri Ramakrishna often hinted that a jivanmuktas life could be very

boring. He used to tell his devotees, " You are very fortunate. Your

game is not yet up. I have already finished mine. "

 

Regards,

Jagannath.

Neil,

 

Thanks for sharing this strange incident. In Hindu mythologies we

have seen on many ocassion incidences of union between SriRadhika

and Lord krishna. Their union has been defined as eternal and

divine. Which one is true? The incident with Parikhit or the leelas

with SriRadhika and Gopinis.How can somebody define Jivan mukti?

I would like know.

Thanks

OF INFINITY,TO BECOME INFINITY. LIKE A RAIN DROP WHICH ESCAPES FROM THE

CLOUDS TO THE SUN.THEN IT WILL NOT HAVE TO COME TO THE EARTH AND TO

REPEAT ITS CYCLE.
