Gajendra Moksham (Asthama Skandam)

"Narayanam Namskruthyah Narancheyavah Narothamam
Devim Saraswathim Vyasam Thatoh Jayamuderayeth"

Parameshwara swaroopamina Sabhaku Namaskaramu

Harieeh om

Jagamu, Gaja

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".
