Agnipariksha(Ordeal): The critical test treated by Shri Ram

Agnipariksha

The question always strikes in our mind why we should called Shri Raam as a God who judged his wife purity by taking Agnipariksha?

The things behind this is too long. Lets share the stories with you.

It is to be very cleared that the near & dear ones of the God should be go through the critical test ever & ever to proof the love towards his master.

Point 1.

If you are a true fan of God , three different types of test you have to go through

Karma Pariksha
Maya Pariksha
Agnipariksha

In Karma Pariksha ,

You have to pass the stages of all sorrows , only to belief that there is only one who always beside me to empower myself withstand any difficulties in life.

In Maya Pariksha ,

In the level the God give you all that kind of worldly happiness , but then also you still proof that there is only one for whom you are happy today.

In Agni Pariksha ,

Third one is very very difficult that you feel you are going through a fireway  in you life , So many difficulties is there , nothing is favour to your life , all around you only found that the sorrows are there to welcome you.
Still you should belief in your mind that who creates a problem for you , definately he makes a solution too.


To get you God you have to go all this stages in your life.
By doing this Sita Maiyaa proof herself a Ideal Wife as a Ideal fan of the Lord.

Point 2

Sri Krishna says in Gita
'Yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata
Abhyutthanam adharmasya tadatmanam srjamyaham
Paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam
Dharma-samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge'

The meaning is not that much tough to understand as the words are ....

God is always there to establish the right path in which the devotee should follow all over life.
If any kind of people is there to distract from this path should be punished and get back to the right track by the God himself.

Now the things is The Lord Rama was a king , a idle person. What he does everybody willingly to follow the path.

The main moto of a King must not be personal relationship oriented but people oriented.

While the washerman spread the gossip not to accept Bhadra , his wife by saying he is not Ram who accept his wife who stayed with another person.

As because he is the King , he easily denied the gossip and punish the washerman.

But he wants to establish an example that no partiallity or favour towards his beloved one for whom he was struggeling to find from Ayodhya to Lanka. 

People should belief in there mind that there will be always one who exists to rescue all of their difficulties.


Point 3

The washerman mentioned in point 2 was actually a Demon who once got a gift from Brahma Ji. Gift was like below


He should not to follow the ethology , do all the bad work then also his soul rest in peace in Heaven.

&

He must be died by a Lord when Shakti and Shaktimaan should be apart from each other.

As we all know Brahma Ji is always a kind hearted man when there was a time to gift any Demon or Giant , right.

So this time to punish the Demon Lord Ram (Shaktimaan) wished to apart from Maiyaa Sita (Shakti).



Point 3

Once Ram Ji and Sita Maiyaa conversed with each other that after born of their children what is best place where they must learn the right manner , quality education etc.
Further decided to keep them in Balmiki Muni's Ashram.


Point 4

Actually Sitam maiyaa is a incarnation of Maa Lakshmi & Agnidev is a devotee of her.

Devi Sita adviced to Agnidev not to happen any bad things with Hanuman at Lanka.

Ram Ji and Sita Maiyaa both knows very well that nothing to be happened with Sita Ji.



Facts are so many , but the thing is that you never ever run away by doing bad things in your life.


Be safe.

Maha Shivaratri: The story of a hunter

Basically we all know that in every month there is a shivaratri but Maha shivaratri is something different from it. As all north Indian people aware that the day when Parbati and Shiva got married , celebrated as Maha shivaratri.
But I want to share a different story basically belongs from southern part of our country.


In earlier times there was a hunter named Gurudruh. He raised his family by killing animals. He was a moneylender's debtor, but could not repay his loan on time.

The angry moneylender captived  the hunter at Shivamath. Coincidentally it was Shivaratri that day. The hunter meditated and kept listening to religious things related to Shiva. He also heard the story of Shivaratri fast on Chaturdashi.

Just in the evening, the moneylender called him and talked about repaying the loan. The hunter left the bond on very next day, promising to return the loan. Like his daily routine he went out hunting in the forest. But due to being in captive all day long, he was disturbed by hunger and thirst. He went too far, searching for prey.

When it became dark, he thought that the night would be spent in the forest itself. The hunter climbed a vine tree by the side of a pond and waited for the night to pass.

Under the bilva tree there was a Shivling which was covered with bilvapatras. Hunter could not observed on this. The twigs he broke while making the halt coincidentally fell on the Shivling. In this way, fasting and thirsty hunters also fasted throughout the day and threw the leaflets on the Shivling. At the first quadrant of the night, a pregnant deer came to drink water at the pond.

As soon as the hunter ready an arrow on the bow to draw it, the lady deer said, 'I am pregnant & will deliver my baby soon. You will kill two creatures of God together, which is not right. I will give birth to the child and will be presented to you soon, then kill me. '

The hunter loosened the bow and the deer disappeared into the wild bushes. At the time of folding and loosening, some twigs spontaneously broke and fell on the Shivling. In this way, the worship of the first Prahar was also done inadvertently.

Shortly after, another lady deer emerged from there. The hunter was so happy. After coming close, he put the bow on the arrow. Then deer humbly pleaded, 'O hunter! Just now my menstrual cycle is over. I am lustful. I am wandering in search of my beloved I will meet my husband and come to you soon. '

The hunter let him go as well. He was perturbed over losing his prey twice. He was in all sort of thoughts. The second prahar of the night was passed. This time too, some bilva twigs fell on the Shivling with a bow and the worship of the other Prahar was also completed.

Then another lady deer came out from there with her children. It was a golden opportunity for hunters. He did not take long to shoot arrows at the bow. He was about to drop the arrow that deer said, 'O hunter!' I will return these children to their father. Do not kill me this time.I will come soon.'
The hunter laughed and said, leave the prey again in third quadrant of night, I am not such kind of fool. I have lost my prey twice before. My children must be getting hungry and thirsty. In reply lady deer again said, ' I am also like the affection of your children, just like me too. Hey hunter! Trust me, I promise to leave them to their father and return immediately.'

Hearing the humble voice of of mother deer, the hunter felt pity on him. He let her escape too. In the absence of prey and distraught with hunger and thirst, the hunter was unknowingly sitting on the vilva tree and throwing down the twigs on Shivling at the third prahar of the night.

When the dawn broke, a male deer came on the same path. The hunter thought that he would surely hunt it. Seeing the trunk of the hunter, the male deer said in polite voice, 'O hunter! If you have killed three lady deers and small children then do not delay in killing me too, so that I do not have to suffer even a single moment in their disconnection. But I am the husband of those deer. If you have given them life, please give me some time too. I will meet them and return back to you as promised.


As soon as he heard the deer,  he narrated the whole story of that night to the deer. Then the deer said, 'The way my three wives have gone as promised, they will not be able to follow their words with my death. So, just as you have left them as a confidant, let me also go. I will appear infront of you soon with all of them. '

The hunter let him go as well. Thus fourth prahar worship completed . The worship of Shivaratri was completed inadvertently due to fasting, night-awakening and by throwing of bilvapatras on Shivling. The predator's violent heart became clean. Bhagavadashakti dwells in it.

Shortly afterwards, the antelope appeared with his family , infront of hunter , so that he could hunt them. But the hunter was very sorry to see such veracity and collective love of wild animals. He gave life to the antelope family.

Unknowingly following the fast of Shivaratri, the hunter attained salvation. When the Yamdoots came to take his creature in death, the Shivgans sent him back and took the hunter to Shivlok. It was only by the grace of Shiva that King Chitrabhanu(Hunter Gurudruh) was able to remember his previous life in this birth and after knowing the importance of Mahashivaratri, he could also follow it in his next life.

The most important thing in this story is that special emphasis is laid on 'Unknowingly worshiped'. This does not mean that Shiva accepts the worship performed in any way, or Bholenath cannot distinguish worship inadvertently.

Actually the hunter was not worshiping Shiva. It also means that he was not even wishing for any kind of fruit. He donated life to the deer family which is similar to Shiva worship. Shiva means welfare. It was due to the welfare of those innocent creatures that he came to know the Shiva element and was interconnected with Shiva.

Wish all of you a great Maha Shiva Ratri.Stay blessed. Bom Bhole.Jai Shiv Shambhu.

Shabari : The story of Great Devotion

Who was Shabari?

It is said that Shabari belonged to the Bhil caste. In this caste, animals were sacrificed for good deeds. She has been a devotee of Lord Rama since childhood. In the morning, she used to worship and fast for Ram Ji.

When her marriage was finalized then goats and buffaloes were brought for sacrifice. To save the lives of these animals, she decided not to get married and left the house.

On the way, she also saw an ashram but could not muster the courage to go inside. At that time, Matang Rishi came there and asked Shabari about her aim . After much thought, he allowed her to come to the ashram. In a few days, she became beloved by everyone with her devotion to Ram and good behavior. For many years she served Matang Rishi as her father. But one day, the weak body of Matang Rishi left him. But before that, he went to bless Shabri that she would definitely see Lord Rama one day.

Many years passed. Shabri used to lay flowers on the way every day and would arrange the bhog. In the hope that Lord Ram will definitely come to meet with her. And, one day Lord Rama reached the ashram of Matang Rishi in search of Mother Sita. A sage placed Ram ji and gave a voice to Shabri. He said with a voice that the God whom you worship day and night has come to the ashram himself. Come and serve Ram ji with full heart.


In order to feed sweet berry to her God, she started tasting them. Started giving good and sweet beers to Ram Ji and throwing the sour beers. Lord Ram became fascinated by this devotion of Shabari. But Ram ji's brother Lakshmana was surprised to see why brother is eating the false one. On this, Lord Rama explained the symptoms that these shows devotional of Shabri and the  love in it towards her master.

Ayodhya Verdict : Be Humble not to lead the Violence

Maryada Purushottam Prabhu Ram is the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who incarnated on earth to kill Ravana in the Treta era. Kaushalya Nandan Prabhu Shri Ram used to love alike his  brothers Laxman, Bharat and Shatrughan. He fulfilled the promise given by his father, willingly accepting the desire of 14-year imprisonment.

Lord Shri Ram is called as a Maryada Purushottam because he never violated the dignity in his life.He never uttered the word 'why' in obeying the command of his parents and the Guru. He became an ideal son, disciple, brother, husband, father and king, in whose kingdom the people were full of happiness and prosperity.


On crossing the Ganges by Kewat (Boatman)  Vanbas , God crossed him in Bhavsagar. Ram Ji is a repository of virtues, which is why people consider life their ideal. Lord Rama, who is all-encompassing, remained common even though unusual.

On becoming Yuvraj, there was no happiness on his face and there was no sadness on his face even when he went to forest. He could have wiped out the entire ocean with only one arrow, but he requested to give way to the sea with a humble spirit, considering public welfare as the best.

Satisfied with the devotional spirit of Shabari and gave him 'Navadha Bhakti'. By adopting God's ideals in life in the present age, man can find success in every field. His ideals are a source of inspiration for the world.



Today Ayodhya verdict is declared. Hope all should follow the rule of Ram Ji's life. Not to spread the negative messages which may lead to be unsocial. We all are being Indian.

Jay Hind , Jay Bharat.

Pride is the root of demise : A lesson from Mahabharat

As advised by Rishi Vedavyas , Pandavas decided to go the Himalaya for searching the route of  heaven. In the way a dog joined with them.

The Pandavas reached the Himalayas while traveling. When the Pandavas crossed the Himalayas, they saw a sea of ​​sand. They then saw Sumeru mountain. The five Pandavas, Draupadi and that dog started moving fast. Suddenly Draupadi fall down & died.

Seeing Draupadi situation , Bhima told Yudhishthira that - Draupadi never committed any sin. Then what is the reason that she fell down. Yudhishthira said that - Draupadi loved Arjuna more than all of us. That is why it has happened . Saying this, Yudhishthira went ahead without seeing Draupadi. After some time Sahadev also died.

When Bhimsen asked the reason ,  Yudhishthira said that Sahadev did not consider anyone like him a scholar, due to this defect he has to die today. Nakula also fall down and died after some time. On Bhima's asking, Yudhishthira said that Nakula was very proud of his good looking and smartness .


After a while Arjun also died. Yudhishthira told Bhimsen that Arjuna was proud of his archery. Arjuna always thought that he will destroy the enemies in a single day, but could not do so. The situation of Arjun had happened because of his proudness. Saying this, Yudhishthira moved forward.

Bhima also fell a little further. When Bhima told Yudhishthira the reason for this, he told that you were eating a lot and used to falsely demonstrate your strength. That's why you have to fall to the ground today. Saying this, Yudhishthira went ahead. Only that dog walked with him.

After sometime Devraj Indradev appeared with his chariot to take Yudhistira to heaven.

Then Yudhishthira told Indra Ji that - My brother and Draupadi had fallen in the way. They should also accompany us, make such arrangements. Indra then said that all of them had already reached heaven. They have renounced their bodies and reached heaven and you will go to heaven with your earthly body.

On hearing Indra Ji, Yudhishthira said that this dog is my supreme devotee. Therefore, allow it to go to heaven with me too, but Indra refused to do so. When Yudhishthira did not agree to go to heaven without that dog, even after explaining for a long time, Yamaraja came in his real form (that dog was actually Yamraj). Yamraj was very pleased on Yudhishthira attitude . After this, Devraj Indra took Yudhishthira to his chariot and took him to heaven.


My dear friends we have to extract the gist of the story and could follow the attitude Yudhistir had. Nothing is permanent in this beautiful world but your work. Always we have to stand upon our honesty , our truthness.

Always remember in mind that pride is the root of demise.

Chhat Puja : ( A story of Gender Equality )

Hi friends.
I am here with another story. Chhat puja is here to celebrate. Our 12 th months are distributed by 13 th festival. So good na. So many unity with that much .
of diversities

By the way today's story is all about our Mahaparv Chhat. Basically celebrated in Bihar , Jharkhand , UP and some part of Nepal also.

In this case also stories are so many. But here I discuss on 3 main story.


No 1: Ramayana

After returning to Ayodhya from an exile of 14 years , Ram ji and Sita Maiya had kept fast together and offered a worship to Surya Vagwan including his sister Sasthi mata in Kartik month's Shukla Paksha for the holy occasion of Ram ji coronation in his kingdom.

People are worshipped of Sasthi mata or Chhat mata for good health of their children.

Ramji always had thougth that all the Ayodya basi were same as like his children.


No 2: Mahabharat

This is the story when Draupadi with Pandavas were in exile of 14 years in jungle. It is believed that once the pandvas faced lots of trouble even they had no meal to spend their life. Sage Dhaumya recommended them for adulation of Lord Sun to help them.

Also advice them to perform the Chhat puja for salvation from the situation.

Since that time chhat puja is celebrated traditionally.


No 3:Markanday Puran


There was a king named Priyabrat and his wife Malini both were unhappy because they had no child. As advice by Rishi Kashyap they decided to perform a "Yagya".
By this queen malini got pregnant but unfortunately delivered a death son.

King Priyabrat was so tensed that he wished to sacrifice his life in the river.

But suddenly the Goddess Devsena came and advice himself to start her worship in the kingdom . Also promise to fulfill his wishes.



Conventionally the new married couple keep the fast to get a Son as a first child in Chhat puja. And the most hilarious thing is they are abound by to get the male child from a female God (Goddess) Chhat mata.

We may try so many times to disturb the eco system but God is always there to balance it.
God is good kind for all.
Bye.


If you like the story please share it to your friend circle.So that they also aware of our culture , our tradition.

Bhaidooj / Bhaitika / Bhaifonta/Bhaubeej (Why moon is called Chandamama in india?)

Hi Friends.
Hope you all are celebrated Diwali safely with lots of enjoy

Bhaidooj is specially for the sweet relationship establisent of brother and sister. Sisters pray long life for their brothers.

Why we people celebrate this nice festival?Lets discuss. This time also reasons are so many. But mainly two reasons you may find out in maximum purans.

YAM & YAMUNA

It's basically held on the auspicious day of Yam-dwitiya.

It is described in purans that after so many request from Yamuna the deathking Yamraj once decided to meet with his younger sister.

They met at Yamuna ghat.Yamuna welcomed her brother  by applying vermilion tilak on forehead and "Aarti".

Yamraj presented her with a gift to signify his love and affection towards his sister.

And also declared that any brother who would receive this tilak from his sister on this day may never be afraid of death.


Krishna & Subhadra

According to Krishna puran , after Krishna vagwan slayed the demon Narakasur with help of Satyabhama , visited his siter Subhadra's house.

She gave him a warm wishes with flowers and sweets. Also applied tilak on his forehed.

Vaishnav followers , Arya samaj , ISKON follewers are basically believes story no 2.



Whatever it may be. Basic thing is as a brother you have to protect your sister vice versa as a sister you have to pray long life of your brother.


Story is till continue my friend. Now the question is , why Moon is called Chanda "Mama"?

• 
  

Puran says , all time it is not possible for a brother to meet with his sister exactly on that day. Some of them are ahead from their sisters due to their jobs.

In that case Sisters have to welcome the moon as a brother instead of their brother↠↠.

Generally Mom use to tell her baby to call the moon as Chanda " Mama". 

Govardhan Puja: A story against bribe system

It is a story of our childhood hero , Shri Krishna Bhagwan Ji. A story to protect his devotee , to stand on his commitment.


His vision is very clear dude. The main moto is that pay to priority those who deserve this.

Now coming to the interesting story.The story of Braj , Gokuldham. All the villagers of Gokul including Yaduraj usually arranged for Lord Indra-puja so that he may grace the favour of Brajabasi. It means nothing but take care of seasonal rain. Once the rainy season is favour of them , That means the green grasses are every where.

That time they were living with nature. Their main moto was to fulfill their yearly foods and saplings for cows.

The Govardhan mountain is situated central of Braj.The villagers were lived around over  it.

The young krishna thought , the oxygen is supplied by Govardhan's tree. Saplings are also grown up near the mountain only. Then what is the purpose to prior of Indra?

He then adviced all the villagers for worship of Govardhan mountain. Also assure them not to be tensed for Indra Vagwan ji. Naturally the villagers were go with his advice.


And the fact is that Indra was then so much angry on villagers as well as li'l Krishna. He ordreded Varundev for heavy rainfall and thunderstorm to all over the Braj.

Now it was Krishna's turn to protect his devotee.But how it's posible? Yaa thats the story🙂🙂

He then lifted up the Govardhan mountain by his left hand little finger and advice all the villagers to take shelter underneath of it.By this again he proved that you people are safe this time also by the mountain.


After seven days Indra Ji was very much tired and also make out the fact that defeat by Shri Krishna's power was benifited for him.

Thus Govardhan puja started. Generally all over india people are celebrated this by worshipping cowdunk's mountain and cow also.

Krishna became named as GIRIDHARI.




Now you think where is the bribing system find out in this story??

Obviously there is a bribing system. Every year Indra vagwan was happy without doing nothing he was worshipped by the villagers.But he might be point out to Govardhan also. 

It was his duty to take care of weather system through out the Trilok. We need both my dear friends as Indra as like Govardhan mountain.

Bye.

DIWALI , DEEPAVALI or DIPAVALI

DIWALI or DEEPAVALI

My dear friends Wish you A prosperous Happy Diwali.

Coming to the direct point why we people celebrate Diwali or Deepavali. Reasons are so many. But out of this I just tell you most two common mythology story as we heard since our childhood.

No 1: Ram Ji returns to Ayodhya

One of the most popular story we have heard basically for northern India.

After the battle completed with Ravana.Ram ji decided to go his hometown Ayodhya.As 14 years of Vanbas was completed also , now it was the time to go home with his wife Sita Maiya and Brother Lakhsman Ji.

All the villagers of  ayodhya  excited for returning home of their king Rama.They were illuminated the series of lights at their home. Basically they were very proud for Lord Rama who fought with Ravana. It was the win of  truth , prosperity and honesty means good thing over all the bad thing Ravana had.

All over India , Hindus , Jains and sikhhism are celebrate the occasion. Now it is a festival for all. It is now spread over with all community all caste.

No 2: Narakasur Badh

Once Narakasur planned to be immortal. As he had been going to take a "Var" from Hrishi Brahmadev. After so many struggle he was able to get it.  Brahmadev  gave him as saying that only your mother could kill nobody else. Narakasur was so happy as he knew no mother can kill her children.

Now he was going to attack Indraloka the heaven. The Swargking Indra Vagban was tensed by him Decided to meet with our one and only childhood hero Krishna Vagwan ji.

Lord Krishna  tried his level best but nothing might happened as per the Var rule , given by Brahma Ji.

Satyavama was so angry to see the fight in between Krishna and Narakasur. She decided to use her weapon. Thus Narakasur died as he was the child of Bhumi maa( Satyavama).

It is popular in southern part of India.

What ever it may be. We will not be missed a single chance to celebrate the Deepavali.
Enjoy
Safe Diwali without Pataka or pollution.
Bye.

Rat Race

Rat Race

"We all are big Zero ,  Infront of money" Isn't it?  Ofcourse yes.

But I have to say something dude. Is there any process we may submit or prepare by which we may produce water? Can we invent a single small earthworm or an tiny ant? Can we make the beautiful blues , the soil , hill , mountain , the never ending ocean or evergreen Grasses.

No. We can't. In front of the Almighty we are big Zero , our money also. We can not avoid the nature dude. With out nature , we will surely die within a nano second. But we have no time to take of it .


Because we have excuse of our precious duty from 9'00 O'clock to 5'00 O'clock. We have run behind money for a car , a home or a family. Afterthat we will fucked up our life to repay the loan and fullfill of our bank EMI's.

Our life will become hell in the crashing machine of our office which is run by our honourable boss Mr. XYZ.

And afterthat we may easily excuse there is no time for us to be a social creature. Yes a I use the term , creature. Because for todays pollution , global warming only we the bloody human being are responsible. We are the murderer of nature. For that we should be punished in God's Court.


Waiting for that day when An Adam , Prophet Muhammad or the Lord Krishna will come to save this beautiful creation.
