Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Please remember the story of the king who went to visit a sadhu. The young son of the rishi said, "My father is meditating in the forest right now. What can I do to help you?" The king replied, "As a king, I committed many terrible sins. My armies have vanquished many villages, we have killed many soldiers, we plundered and pillaged. What can I do to be free from the sins that I have committed?" The rishi's son said, "That's easy. Go home and say the name of Ram twice." "Only twice?" replied the king with delight. "Yes, only twice," answered the young boy. That evening the father returned to the hermitage and asked his son if there were any visitors. "Yes," relied the young boy. "A king came wanting to be free from his sins." "What did you tell him?" asked the father. "I told him to go home and say the name of Ram twice." "What king of a son are you?" scolded the rishi. "You could have told him to say it once!" Sarada's note: The Cosmic Puja is now available on Mp3. Jai Maa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
