why elephant ?
Elephant is the only one which
can jump of the ground, because of the weight similarly humand life weight is
family relation Why human cannot jump because he is tied with family relation.
(Gaja, Jaga swapped words in
telugu)
Jayathe -- Velledhi,
Gashchatye -- vachedhi
Ther is nothing permanent, if
something is permanent than it is the God.
Vruthasura--- on writing this
story problems would be solved
Gajendra Mokshamu --- can be done
daily this is the speciality of it
Shukha Brahma told that once upon
a time there was a fight between Elephant and Crocodile and Elephant called the
SreemanNarayna and SreemanNarayana came and helped. This is GajendraMokshamu.
Shukabrahma was baout to expand
before that Parikshit said Swamy wait how fight happened between those two
since, Elephant is the king on Ground and Crocodile leaves in water, still it
being forest so elephant went for drinking water and crocodile might catch
which is natural, but how did elephant called SreemanNarayana and how did he
come and saved it?
So please do explain the story.
Shukabrahma was happy about the enthusiasm of Parikshit and said ok i will
explain:
In shkirasagaram (Milk Ocean)
there was a mountain named Trikutachalam which is the big one, it had 3 tops (shikaramu)
one made with Gold, other with Silver, and third with Iron. Lot of tress,
fruits, flowers. Ponds use to be there in that mountain. If someone wants to
drink water, the water use to very tasty, since there was no one to cut the
fruits and birds use to byte little bit and that juice of the fruit use to fall
in the water. For simple, that water use to taste like Cardmom water (Elachi
water).
There were many different
categories of animals staying. In that forest, when baby Elephant batches use
to walk than it was like complete darkness on the ground. When the elephants
walk and if there are any blockers than they use to break that blockers with
their heads. But not move away from the blockers. If the elephants listen to
sound of Lion, than Elephants use to make Lion fear, what is that sound? In
that place, if any lightening happens than the Elephants use to lift their
trunks and make sounds, saying why lightening is happening? Keep quiet. All
this is because of the energy the Elephants are strong on ground.
When elepahnts walks, the tigers
use to run away, the bears use to run into caves, forest pigs will dig pits and
hide in those pits, Deers and other animals will run away several miles,
Buffaloes use to hide in the water, Monkeys use to go and sit in heights, Big
snakes use to hide in the muds, Peacocks generally will not fly high, but on
seeing the elephants they use to fly high on to the sky. When the elephants
came and stand tired the Chamari Mrugams use to come and stand their and lift
the tales and serve the elephants by shaking the tales. The Air that comes from
these Animals gives lot of relaxation.
Thats why we do the Chamari Seva
for the God, speciality in that seva is, When God is tired, just by waving the
Chamari hand (visana Karra, hand fan)the Air will be blown onto him and he
feels relaxed.
So elephants were performed that
seva by the Chamari Mrugas. Look at such a great respect the elephants were
getting. This is just the case of baby elephants but there will be a king for
the elephants, than just imagine what respect he will get.
Comparision of Human with
elephant:
Tricutachalam (3 classification
of human based on characteristics – Rajo Gunam, Sathva Gunam, Tamo Gunam), Mountain is God who is lying
inside the heart. The body is standing on the him.The human will be romaing
saying proudly that it is me, it’s me.....
Elephants felt thirsty means
human is falling into the Family life. So just wait there is some more story
for this link.
The king of Elephants was walking
and his wifes are 10 Lakhs crores so assume how many relations he might have
got and the king elephant was in an assumption that all the other elephants
will save him. And the other elephants use to serve him with flowers, fruits
all other things whatever they got they use to bring and offer the the king. And
he use to get happy in this feeling. This is called deviation.
While walking he saw one beautiful pond
(called human life), have to stand at the bank of the pond and drink water, but
as the pond was beautiful he started going inside and inside (human satrted
getting deep intot he family life and forgetting for what he has come, he has
to fullfill the life like KardhamaPrajapathi and Devahuti). The king elephant
was going deeper and deeper and he was feeling happy and enjoying. The king
elephant actually felt thirst instead of drinking water by standing in the bank
he went deep inside and deep inside the water there were lot of crocodiles,
fishes and other water based animals.
The king elephant jumped and went
deep and by looking at him all the other wife elephants came inside, since they
felt that King is already there so no concern for us. Know one thought came to
the King elephant that he wanted to do a showoff with respect to his
capability. For that what he did is, he started sucking water from the river
with lot of horse power and sprayed on to the sky, as he has got lot of energy,
in that process lot of crocodiles, fishes, were dead. All the elephants, the
king elephant started behaving badly and madly. And all the animals were dying
and one person have seen this situation, that is none other than the crocodile
and it understood that for all this mischeive the reason behind is the King
elephant. So let me go and catch the King elephant. Crocodile have identified
the location of King Elephant and came silently reached from the bottom of the
water and came and caught the leg of the King elephant. Crocodile have lot of
energy in water and no one can withstand the crocodile in the water. Crocodile
just catches the leg, that’s all.
(Crocodile means death/disease)
Till know situation was different
and suddenly it has changed. Elephant was trying to escape from the crocodile
and crocodile is trying to ensure that the elephant should not reach the bank.
(Death/Disease tries to kill and
human tries to escape, and in this battle no one will come along even had
multiple relations, one has to do the battle on their own). 1000 years the
fight happened, this fight happened for all the time irrespective of day,
evening, night.
When the King elephant started
the fight, the others elephants were just watching and saying common common and
th only Strategy the Elephant used is to beat the crocodile with its trunk. But
Crocodile smartly escaped, when ever the elephant hits it use to just release
the leg and come in between and use to catch the Stomach (taking the tablets).
The moment the elephant feels to lift the leg the crocodile use to and catch
the legs again. When elephant was fighting like this one miracle happened,
Elephant is using its thorns to hit the crocodile and crocodile is smartly
escaping.
Lot of other elephants who were
standing on the bank started slowly moving saying. Everyone started moving.
Know no one is there except the wife elephants and the King elephant is still
fighting. Wife elephants were watching and other elephants left from there.
The crocodile has holded the leg
of Elephant so tightly. Elephant started a feeling that once upon a time, i was
so respected on the ground and i am king and i did lot of donations in the form
of water feeding to the plants and the plants have grown bigger and started
giving a shade. So many great works i did and was leaving happily on the ground
and why unnecessarily i came here without staying in that shade happily and why
this crocodile have catched and if so is any one there to save me? Like this
Elephant have made a thought. Why the elephant have got the thought because it
might have done some good Job in earliear lifes that’s why elephant have got
the thought. But generally in that situation no one will get this thought
unless one has done some good job in the earliear lifes.
On bed, one should not keep any
respectable item even one should not eat, drink and avoid taking tablet by
sitting on bed. Bed is the one which has relation with Tamoh gunam.
Vyasa told one thing that who
ever recollects about the story of the elephant, pond, crocodile, and nature in
that story will not have any fear during the time of death. So read that
shlokas.
In that shlokas, elephant did not
take any name of lord and for that prayer 33 crores of God stood up and was
confused who is called and every one stood still. Elephant told in the last
that, when all the lokas, residers of lokas, rulers of this lokas in the
universe one day will get mixed in water and there is only one who can make this
unverses as a ball and taking it inside him, i am calling that person. Elephant
also said that, there is only one person who is acting in the form of Maya, and
visualized as many and no one identify such a person and no one can recognize
him. Such person will come and save me.
All the devatas have kept quiet,
since elephant is not specifying any name and Brahma, Shiva also kept quiet and
the reason behind their silence is the saviour is sthithikara and sthithikara
only has to come and save so they kept quiet. But still the god has not come
since, elephant said all these things, prayers with a small suspection and
doubt in the mind that whether he will come or not? As the elephant was in
doubt so the Narayana also kept quiet why to go when there is a suspection and
doubt.
Doubt is killing from inside and
Crocodile is killing from outside. Know the elephant has realized and started
saying that the person who is going to come and save me is the one who does not
even care whether pooja s performed for him or not and does not see a
difference that it is rich/poor and shall come in a way that never ever taken
place and he is expected to come in such a way that he is the only one to save
and he is spread everywhere, and the moment he listens he will come and you are
the only one who can come and save me now and i do not have the energy,
Guidiness, and i cannot even lift the trunk as all my patience is gone and so
tired and except you i have nothing else, please forgive me and come and save
me and bless me, and please save me oh SreemnaNarayana. Come and please save
me. The lord is not a male/female/napunsakaha (paranjyothiswaroopam) and the
lord is like a light who is behind me and going to save me and does not know
from which direction he will come.
Now elephant did the right prayer
and called the SreemanNarayan with out any doubt and called whole-heartedly,
this was heard by SreemanNarayana and immediately in the next second
SreemnaNarayana has appeared.
Elephant never did pooja and just
by praying whole heartedly, Sreemananarayan have appeared infront of the
elephant with out any dealy, so look at the compassion of the SrremanNarayana.
The complete Vaikunthamu has moved and appeared infront of the elephant.
SreemanNarayana stood at the bank and ordered the Sudharshana Chakra to cut the
neck of the Crocodile and saved the elephant. Elephant immdeaitely felt that
ther is no one to save apart from the SreemanNarayana and slowly Elephant have
moved and reached the bank and thanked the SremanNarayna and identified the
truth. The moment the elephant has reached the bank everyone came back. But know
elephant just said hello and took one lotus flower and submitted on the feet of
the Lord and bent completely and prayed the feet of the SreemanNarayana. The
light from the elephant has taken a form of SreemanNarayana and stood beside
him and left to Vaikunthamu. When the crocodile is dead, one Gandharva came out
from it and he left to Gandharvalokhamu.
How did Elephant got this much
Punya and how did it called SreemanNarayna? Question asked by Parikshit.
Shukabrahma told that one day,
Indrajunna Maharja who is the ruler of Dravida country (dravidadeshamu) was
taught the mantram of "Ashtakshari" and he felt little bit
inconvinient for chating the Mantram in the palace, so he went to the outer
area of the kingdom near to mountain and decided to chant the mantram there. To
that place Agasya Maharshi came, this king did not respect the Agasyah
Maharshi, so he was cursed that “As you have behaved with Tamoh Gunam so you
will be born in the womb of an elephant".
Why Agasyah came?
Agasyah came because king’s life
has to be turned and king has to be sent for the betterment of the life and
grant the Mokshamu. But the king disrespected him, so he was blessed in the
form of a curse and got the Mokshamu in the next life, otherwise king would
have achieved the Mokshamu in the same life. Generally Sage people will not
come just for fun and if they come then there is a secret behind it and the
moment they are seen they should be respected as they are the forms of the God.
Who is the Gandharvah?
Huhu is the Gandarvah and he was
drunken and with Apsaras taking bath in the river. In the same time Devana
Maharshi came there to take bath and he is so lean person but great tapasvhi.
Huhu have insulted him by passing surcasting comments on the Maharshi and the
ladies were laughing and as the ladies were laughing he increased the intensity
of insulting and slowly came from the water and hold the legs of the Maharshi
tightly and because of which Maharshi has slipped. Maharshi told that as you
came from the bottom of water so you will be born as a Crocodile.
Moral: Never ever indulge with
Sage peole and disrespect them
SreemanNarayana told that, this
epic named GajendraMokshamu, who ever listens to this epic in any form with
whole heartedness, with zeal and enthusiasm they will not get Baddreams, will
not fear from diseases, No Daridram, Treasure will come, effects of Grahas will
be removed, and shall be happy always. Shall always perform good job. Whoever does
this will not get the darshan of YamaDharmaraja and shall enter Vaikunthamu and
get the Mokshamu.
This result is told by
SreemanNarayana himself. That’s is the speciality of GajendraMokshamu. Such a
great epic is "Gajendra Mokshamu".
