After Vruthasuru Samharamu, there
was an old lady who wanted to Hug Indra her hair is red in colour, bad smell
from the body, old and diseased. She is none other than Brahmahatypathakamu.
She was chasing Indra and Indra started running in whatever direction he got.
Whereever he goes she was behind him. Indra ran towards North-east corner (Eeshanyamu)
and entered into Manasarovaram.There is an energy for (Eeshanyamu) and even
Brahmahatyapatakamu also cannot enter that place. She was waiting outside for
Indra to come out. Indra was residing at the end of the Lotus flower, which is
lying deep inside and Indra hided there. Look at the situation, Indra being the
king of devathas, is know hiding. So disrespecting the Guru, has caused how
many problems. Like that for 1000 years he was residing inside the lotus. He
was not fearing, instead he was performing the NarayanaMantramu and Narayana
Thapasyah. After 1000 years, one miracle happened, as the post of Indra is vacant
all were in search of keeping an Incharge for the position temporarily. They
have selected a king named "Nahusha".
Nahusha was a great king who have
performed lot of Yagnas and Yagas. So he was selected as Incharge. But a
thought arised in Nahusa and he said just giving the post of Indra is not
enough, wife of Indra sachidevi should also be my wife till Indra comes back.
Is there any meaning in his thought? Sachidevi is more worried, and everyone is
unhappy. Sachidevi is a great devotee of "Mother Lalitha" and she use
to daily do LalithaSaharaNamamu. When wife does a pooja, it results in the
growth of the Husband. And Sachidevi did not do any mistake so Bruhaspathi came
to here and told her that, Sachidevi make this Nahusa also do the same mistake
what your husband has done (disrespecting a Guru). So ask him to come in a
pallaki which is lifted by SapthaRishis. Because he is so desperate for you, so
he will come there by resulting in Disrespecting the Guru. And Nahusha did it.
That’s is the greaness of Bruhaspathi, as he is powerful game player and
estimator.
So Nahusha ordered the
saptharishis to take him in a pallaki and among all the Saptharishis, Agasya
Maharshi is a shorter person and being short he was not able to move fast.
Nahusha scolded him and ordered him to move fast and he has beaten him in the
hip of Agasya Maharshi which lead to the angry of Maharshi.
Agasya Maharshi got angry and
gave a curse you will become a "Kondachiluvah(python) and fall on the
earth". Now again the post of Indra is vacant.
All maharshi went to manasa
sarovaram and they saw the light of Indra which was due to performing
NarayanaKavachamu for 1000 years, and because of that energy Brahamahatyapathakamu
has run away, but still it is not completely gone. Than all the Maharshis and
Devathas, brought Indra back and made him to do "Ashwamedha yagam".
As a result of Yagam SreemanNarayana has come and relieved him from
Brahmahatyapathakam.
For anything, God is the only one
who can do anything. To give happinesss/ sadness / good/ bad for anything he is
the one. After getting relieved from Brahmahatyapatkamu, Indra took his chair
and started ruling and was serving his Guru.
Moral: Never disrespect Guru, if
it is done Indra itself cannot escape from the result so normal people how can
they escape.
Prahaladhopakyanamu (Sapthamah Skandamu)
We know about Jaya-Vijaya, they
are born as Hiranyaksha, HiranyaKashapa. Hiranyaksha got killed in the hands of
YagnaVarahMurthy. HiranyaKashapudu is a type of person who sees something means
it should be mine. He has 4 sons. (Prahaladhudu, Anuhladhudu, Samhaladhudu,
Haladhudu). Daughter of Prahaladhudu is Simhika and Simhika son is Rahu.
Rakshasas are kids of Diti that’s
why they are called as "Daithulu" Devatas are Kids of Aditi they are
called as "Suras". But father is same, he is KashyapaPrajapathi. Diti
means sees two things that’s why she was unable to visualize god as one and
Aditi means see onething and she was able to visualize the God as one.
The death news of Hiranyaksha
have reached Diti and his wifes. To that place Hiranyakashapa has come and said
philosophy that:
Why you are crying, the people
who are in family life are like:
In summer season, people walk on
the road and there would be some place where Waterpot centers would be there in
order to serve the water-thirsty people. Because of hot sun people come there
and drink water. Why all the people have come there? For fullfilling
thirstiness they come which is common among all. They will sit for a while and
relax. They will exchange words and ask where are you going? One will sway
east, other will say west, other will say north, and other will say south. Because
they sat for few minutes, they will not exchange and align to walk in the same
direction, they will go on in their way. Like that people, come and go and does
not know anything about each other, why they come and go? But because of taking
birth in your womb, Hiranyaksha fought with SreemanNarayana and got killed in
the hands of him and reached a sacred place, so are you crying for such a
person who have gone to such a sacred place and attained great height.
Please do not cry and said a
story:
In olden days, ther use to be a
king named "Suyagnudu", was ruling the kingdom happily and had many
wifes and children. Suddenly he was dead and lot of people were crying for his
death. YamaDharmaRaja was stunned by looking at the people and he came there in
a role of a Brahmin Boy. And said why you are crying so much:
What is this? Why are you crying
so much by lokking at the family of Suyagnudu. And asked a question can any one
of you show me who have escaped from death? No one. Everyone have to leave this
world one day or the other and this is a habit for the world. We born and came
here and shall depart to the origin when the time comes, so you are all
behaving as if he is the only person who is leaving and you are going to be
permanent. Yamadharmaraju was so casual because he sees these things daily. Life
will take birth and death, but they are on their own way.
Hiranyakashapa told that, there
is person who will create the life, run the life and Close the life silently as
if he does not no anything. So if you want know try to know about him and make
your life better but not for other things and try to mix in him. There is no
permanent person.
2 birds, were sitting on a tree
nest along with the baby birds. One hunter saw and hit the lady bird with a
stone and it has fallen down and he has bent the wings of the bird and put it
in his basket. The male bird was crying by looking at the fallen female bird
and was telling to that female bird that all these you have taken care of me
and our kids from tomorrow onwards the baby birds will ask where is mother? What
shall i tell? How to take care of these birds? Meanwhile, the hunter saw the
male bird and he shooted an arrow at it and male bird is dead. Male is dead
before the feamle, and male was in assumption, how to take care? Like that no
one knows from where the death comes from. This is the philosphy told by the Rakshasa
Hiranyakashapa. After listening to this his mother Diti and Hiranyaksha wifes
were bit relaxed.
Look at the philosphy of
Hiranyakashapa, but when it comes to him, he did not had this philosphy. That’s
why speaking is so easy but implementation is tough.
Hiranyakashapa, came out and
called everyone and told that Vishnu is a bad person who have killed my
brother, he is a magical person. Vishnu resides in few places, so if few spoil
those then he will get spoiled. And those places are:
> Brahmanas
> Cows
> Yagna/Yagas
> Homas
> Vedas
> Dharmamu
> Sadu people (Sacred)
So whereever you see, destroy
them. All his army went into doing that job, meanwhile he decided to go for
Tapasyah, and shall come back with grants and will destroy Vishnu and shall
rule the comeplete universes. Hiranyakashapa, went into the depth of
MandaraParvatham and started tough Tapasyah. With his Tapasyah, a smoke started
coming from his skull and started occupying all the Universes. His body was
totally eaten-up by the insects, and finally left only with the skeleton. In
this situation, all devathas went to Brahma and said that we are not able to
face this smoke so please go and grant him what he want. Brahma immediately
flew to Hiranyakashapa, and took some water from his Kamandalamu and spilled on
the skeleton of Hiranyakashapa, the next minute Hiranyakashapa, gained body
with lot of light (Tejassu) and asked what his wish?
Hiranyakashapa, till sometime
back told lot of philosphy to his mother and sister-in-laws, but on seeing the
Brahma after his tapasya started asking Brahma that, there should not be any
death for him becasue of air,fire,sky,animals,weapons, directions, sky, inside
home, birds, yakshas,deavathas, night or day. Brahma was stunned at the wish,
but because of his Tapasyah Brahma granted it. But Brahma wanted to tell one
thing that, Hiranyakashapa, you did tougher tapasyah and got you wish, so
please be careful, and behave properly. Brahma know what he is going to do, and
Brahma vanished and the next minute Hiranyakashapa went back to his kingdom.
Hiranyakashapa called everyone
and said the story and ordered that we have to cacth Vishnu and kill him and in
this process we have to attack Indra and capture his kingdom and we are suppose
to rule the entire universe. So begin a war and flew with his army. Meanwhile
Indra heard the news and decided that there is no meaning in fighting with him.
Hiranyakashapa, captured
Amaravathi, and the Indra Chair. All devatas were under the complete control of
Hiranyakashapa. All devatas have conducted a confidential meeting, such a great
control Hiranyakashapa had on the devathas. Everyone have expressed their
problems and finally decided to meet SreemanNarayana. But unfortunately if they
got him and if any one sees they will be killed. So they did the
SreemanNarayana Devotion iside their heart. This is the compassion of
SreemanNarayana.
Since the devathas did whole
heartedly and SreemanNaryana voice is heard and in that sound SreemanNarayana
told that " I know what is the current situation and your position but
there is a rule for me i cannot kill him till Hiranyakashapa does lot of
mistakes and that mistakes are not small ones they are Sudha Sadhus (peole who
are in believe of God), Insulting Devathas, Insulting Vedas, Cows, Brahmanas,
Should not deviate Dharmamu, and finally insulting the SreemanNarayana. After that
Hiranyakashapa will feel that there is no one to question me and punish me and
i can do anything, at that i will catch and kill him like anything. I will save
you please do not worry and i am telling you now only when Hiranyakashapa will
do all these things. He will give birth to his son and his son is going to be
my great devotee and Hiranyakashapa will misbehave completely, count that time
has come for the end of Hiranyakashapa".
So if you want to be safe never
ever disrespect and insult these categories.
The son has born for
Hiranyakashapa and Leelavathi. He was named as Prahaladha. Prahaladha is a type
of person, who respects Guru, he sees everything in him and outside as one and
it is the God, and if he feels bad due to something than the feeling he gets
when seen on others means he feels everything as same, such a great vision he
had in all. He respects elders, if he sees any ladies than he feels that they
are like his mother. If He donates anything to anyone than he feels the act of
donation as great opportunity from God and respects the donation. He sees his
friends as his brothers, He never ever lied in his life, and he sees everything
as the form of God. Such a great personality is Prahaladha and he got all these
just at the age of 5.
Being a person born in the
Rakshasa Dynasty, Prahalada had so many great qualities. While drinking water,
sleeping, or doing any activity Prahalada use to see the God in the activity,
even being a Rakshasa son and completely forgot the universe and feels the God
who has created this universe.
With this Behaviour of
Prahaladha, Hiranyakashapa was bit worried and instead behaving like Rakshasa
King he does not do anything and behave like a mad person. Hiranyakashapa
called the sons of Shukracharya (Chanda, Amarkulu) and said that my son is
behaving like a mad person, so please teach him some lessons than there might
be a change in him. So please help me in getting my son behave like proper
person. Hiranyakashapa sent him to their place.
Whatever is taught by Gurus,
Prahaladha use to Grasp quickly, but never use to reply back and use to learn
all the bad that is taught. But it did not had any effect on the Prahaladha
since it did not reach the Heart of Prahaladha. After few there was a call from
Hiranyakashapa to see what the status of Prahaladha is? Gurus took Prahaladha
to Hiranyakashapa. The moment Prahaladha saw his father, he did Shasthanga
Namaskar to his father and Hiranyakashapa blessed him. Then Hiranyakashapa took
his and made to sit in his lap and asked what you have learnt?
Prahaladha told that, the soul
gets into the body and starts digging a well that it is "I and I should be
happy and I should only live... Foreverthing only I and ther is nothing else
and fall in that well, get arogance, greed and never think about a fact that
the God is there who is continously watching and God is everything it is not I.
The person who comes out of this well, even being sitting in a dark forest will
always think about the God only and there is nothing else. Since this knowledge
is missing so every one is falling into the well and wasting the valuble
time". So please change your way.
Hiranyakashapa is a person who
says everything is me and Prahaladha says everything is God. So these are 2
extreme ends. Hiranyakashapa was shocked and felt that he is still boy and does
not know anything and this can be forgiven. Hiranyakashapa told that all the
things what you told are said by someone or your friends or the Gurus and
Vishnu is a bad person for the Rakshasa dynasty and he killed you uncle
Hiranyaksha, such a bad person he is and you are respecting the Vishnu?
Hiranyakashapa, told that know
you understood what the fact is and you should spoil the Yagnas, insult
brahamanas, Vedas, Yagnas. So being the Rakshasas we have to do all these
things. Tell what you have understood?
Prahalada said that will Koyila
(cuukcoo bird) sings badly, will rajahamsas eat in a worst palce where there is
dirt? Similarly if you say such things to me who can they reach my heart and
how can you expect me to behave like this and i will not be able to do it?
Hiranyakashapa was shocked and
looked at the Gurus and said are you people teaching all these things to him?
There is something wrong you did? So take him and teach the things what
Rakshasas should have. By listening to these conversations Gurus (Chandah,
Amarkulu) were in fear and worry and said what we have taught to you Prahaladha
and what are you speaking with your father? If we ask you are telling all
things and if your father asks you are speaking something else which is related
to SreemanNarayana and that is not expected from the Son of a Rakshasa. And you
father started doubting us that we are teaching secretly all these things to
you? From now onwards whatever we teach you should learn and never speak about
the SreemanNarayana. Did you understood? Prahaladha said Yes.... Understood.
Started learning every thing what
ever Guru told and use to answer quickly what ever the question Guru asks.
Gurus felt that know Prahaladha has changed and learnt everything whatever we
are teaching, but they had small suspection that he might speak something else
infront of his father so lets test him and then present him infront of his
father. As the Gurus had past expereience with him infront of his father. First
they decided that whatever he speaks infront of mother, samething he will speak
with father, so first let us take him to his mother and than check and later
take him to his father.
Guru along with Prahaladha went
to the palace of Leelavathi and presented him. She asked Prahaladha are you
fine and learning properly what Gurus are teaching and asked some question
about DhramaShastramu. Prahaladha answered proplery, and every one was happy
that there is change in the son. Gurus than presented him infront of father?
Hiranyakashapa saw the son and
asked Prahaladha have you learnt anything from Gurus what they have taught or
do you have learnt something with your own skill.
Prahaldha told that i have learnt
whatever Gurus taught me and also i have learnt many more things than that
which is required for life. With this statement Gurus were bit worried. But
Hiranyakashapa felt that ok he has learnt something from Gurus, so asked
Prahaladha what ever you learnt from that tell me one poem which is more than
enough for life.
Prahaladha told that, there are 9
ways of expressing the Bhakthi to SreemanNarayana and that is the safest way
for making ones life succeded and this is the conclusion of all waht i have
learnt.
Parikshit la Vinu --Shravanam
Keerthanamu -- Shukudu la
Smaranamu --- Prahalada
Sevinchadamu -- LakshmiDevi
Archanamu -pooja cheeyadmu --
Prudhu Mahraju
Vandanamu -- Akrurudu
Sathyam -- Snehamu- Arjunudu
Dasyamu -- Hanuman
AtmaNivedhanamu --
BaliChakravarthy
Hiranyakashapa told that we are
Rakshasas, and what ever you have learnt is not taught by Gurus, and how did
you learn all the things about SreemanNarayana, who has taught you? And how are
you getting these thoughts when we are not and why you are not in the same page
as we are?
Prahaladha told that, father what
ever you do any activity you do and in that with out feeling God in everything
is just like:
> Making rock band infront of
Deaf
> Making a blind person to see
and speak about the beauty of full moon day
> Asking some questions and
expecting Answers from to a dumb person
> Expecting a help from a
greedy person
So this is the difference between
you and me. And said that, if you do not perform any service to god than what
is the meaning of having hands, eyes, mouth, ears ? And if a father does not
teach about the God than will he be called as a Father?
This body is nicely manufactured
by the God and run with the order and if the service is not done to him, than
what is the meaning of having this body? And if something is there to be done
than it is only the service to the Vishnu.
Hiranyakashapa is becoming angry
and Prahaladha is continiung his speech, and Gurus were so feared and Gurus
told that we did not teach. Hiranyakashapa asked from where you learnt all
these things about the SreemanNarayana? i will cut their head. Prahaladha told
even if i say something also you will not understand anything as your eyes are
closed, you have fallen in the pit of Arogance and do not understand it.
Hiranyakashapa got more angry and
ordered his men to kill the Boy in such a way that
> throw him from mountains
> tie him
> beat him
> make elephants walk on him
> screw him up
Than bring the dead body to me. Will
there be any father like that?
As ordered by Hiranyakashapa, men
followed the order and started doing all the experiments on Prahaladha. And in
every pain, Prahaladha use to see the SreemanNarayanqa only and he use to feel
only for him all the pains are forgotten by him in the chanting of
SreemanNarayana.
Everyone was shocked even after
giving such a painful situation, still nothing is happening to Prahaladha,
since the lord SreemanNarayana was asving him secretly along with Lakshmidevi.
Even after getting such a torture also, Prahaladha never use to runaway from
the place and always chanting the name of SreemanNarayana and he never use to
blame his father.
Look at the compassion shown by
SreemanNarayana and he knows how to save his children. There is no need for him
to describe the way or the process invovled to save. He knows how to save and
he will save. Prahaladha had a confidence on SreemanNarayana and he saved him.
Hiranyakashapa was much more
worried that, there is no effect on Prahaladha even after giving this much
torture and his energy is rising more and more, so how to kill Prahaladha is
the bggest question and concern running in the mind of Hiranyakashapa. Gurus
told that Raja do not worry, the biggest problem is family affairs, so we will
teach Prahaladha about Family affairs and on learning it he will destroy
himself on his own and they took the Prahaladha from there and Hiranyakashapa
said ok.
Oneday when Gurus were inside the
house Prahaladha called all the students and said that: in the life of 100
years we sleep for 50 years, and for 20 years we will be in childish behaviour
or learning curve. So remaining is 30 years, and in 30 years we fight for
unnecessary things, and create unnecessary relations and caught by Maya and
spoiled and leading to rebirth. So do not waste the time in such activities and
identify the way of how to coem out from the Maya and escape the rebirth.
This can only happen on reaching
the feet of SreemanNarayana.
The other kids told that,
whatever you are telling is fact and whatever is told by Gurus is common for
all and Gurus did not teach all these things and you are always with us, than
how did you learn all these unknown things and how taught it?
Prahaladha told that, this was
all taught by Narada Maharshi. When did you meet Narada?
When Hiranyakashapa was in
Tapasya, Leelevathi was pregnant and Indra came to ther hosue and tied her and
taken her off. Narada saw that situation and asked why are you doing this
Indra? Indra told that i do not have any problem with this lady but as she is
pregnant so this is the light of Hiranyakashapa and in tapasyah Hiranyakashapa
lost his entire body, so there will not be any problem with him but his son
would be problem for us, so if this boy is killed there is no problem for us.
So the moment the boy is delivered i will kill that boy and leave this lady.
Narada tld that what do you know about that boy? That boy is a great
personality and he is a mahabhakatha SreemanNarayana and shall do well for the
entire universe. So please leave her and llaow me to take her to my Ashramamu
and i will teach them the Vedas.
Actually when preaching was going
on Leelavathi use to listen but she forgot and the boy isnide her womb did not.
Since the boy knows a fact that Guru blessing is equivalent o SreemanNarayana
blessing and that blessing is not there on my mother so she forgot everything
but the blessing was there on me that’s why i am still remembering what Narada
has taught me.
After listening to all these
everyone satrted singing about the Narayana, meanwhile the Gurus came out was
shocked to see the chantings of Narayana by all the students. Immediately, they
took him to Hiranyakashapa and said that this boy is a danger to Rakshasa
dynasty, first leave about teaching him, he started spoiling the entire
students by teaching about Narayana and started makeing all the students to
chant the name of SreemanNarayana. So whatever you want to do do it?
Hiranyakashapa, got angry and
asked with what energy are you behaving like this and who is behind it?
Prahaladha told that the energy is everywhere and in everything even in you and
me also and that energy is SreemanNarayana. And how can you ask where is he?
This is called Bhakthi and started dancing since in that dance he was feeling
happy to express about the SreemanNarayana. The moment Hiranyakashapa saw this
and asked show me where is he and pointed on to a pillar?
Prahaladha told anydoubt...ask
him he will come out and you can see him inside it. Hiranyakashap took his
waepon and gave a hit on the pillar. With that hit, pillar is broken and
SreemanNarayana is seen in the form of "Narasimha Avatar".
There was a huge lightening and
lot of sounds were heard and everyone was in guidiness because of those
effects. Hiranyakashapa even after seeing SreemanNarayana in such an avatar,
took his sword and attacked SremanNarayana, and his sword did not work and
there was sound heard explaing about the wish what Hiranyakashapa asked to
Brahma and the sound is that "Hiranyakashapa you are going to be killed as
per your wish and the time of death have arrived for you".
Hiranyakashapa was taken in the
hands of Narasimha and placed him in his lap and sat at the doorstep and with
lot of sounds he was killed according to the wish granted by him. He was killed
so cruelly because Hiranyakashapa has tortured his Bhaktha like anything, in
the same way torture was given to Hiranyakashapa while he was killed.
All the devathas came and did
stothrams to make the Narasimaha avatram calm but no one could achieve it and
all were not even in postion to go near the Narasimaha because of the sounds
that were heard from him and the anger seen on his face. Everone requested
Lakshmidevi, to go near him and make him calm. But Lakshmidevi told that, this
is not the Avatar which we are serving and the Avatar which we save will be
smiling, calm and happy avatar. But in the Narasimha Avatar, these characteristics
are not seen. I am feared to see you and a wife cannot go near such an avatar.
Lot of people did lot of sthotrams but still there is no change, than Brahma
asked Prahaladha to do sthotram and make the Narasimha to redcue the anger and
become calm. Prahaladha went and fallen at the feet of Narasimha and Narasimha
have calm down and immediately said "Ayushman Bhavah" and gave a big
smile.
Prahaldha told that, i do not
know what i have done and being from a Rakshsa Dynasty and every one is feared
to come near and you have shown your blessings on me. I am very much tahnkful
to you. Narasimha was very very happy by listening to the words of Prahaladha
and said i will grant you wahtever you wish for?
Prahaladha told, i do not want
anything, i am not feared to come near you as you are myfather and why a son
has to fear to go near the father.The thing which i fear is the name called
"Family relation, angry and greedy and you are making me to fall into it
so i do not want anything and always i should be seving your feet this is the
only thing i expect from you".
Narasimha said that i have never
seen such a bhaktha, so if you do not ask anyting than i will not feel happy,
so please ask something. Narasimha requested the Prahaladha.
Prahaladha told that " My
father being in unknown state, could not recognize you and atleast when you
took him in his hands you should have prayed but still he did not and was
killed badly, so because of all the bad effects i do not know waht he is going
to get and how is going to be punished, so instead of getting the punishment
please make him to reach your feet, since however it may be finally he is my
father who gave birth to me wso being a son i will always wish for his
betterment".
Narasimha was very happy, and
said the moment i took your father he has been so clsoe to me, which others
have not got such opportunity so please do not worry about your father, rule the
kingdom and be happy.
Whoever listens/speaks/reads/
about this story: one will not get the visualisation of Yamadharmaraja and i
will grant the mokshamu for them.
