Guru Bhakti (6)

Dear Friends

          When Lord Krishna decided to leave his mortal body and informed Uddhava about it, Uddhava asked him , “Dear Krishna where will it be possible to see you and have divine guidance from after you ? ” Krishna said , “Dear Uddhava! You are a jnani (gyani). You know each and everything . You are asking this just for the welfare of mankind. Listen, I will be available to everyone in form of ‘Sri madbhaagwat mahapuraanam’. You can find me and have guidance from there. But, as people could not recognize me in this human form again they will not be able to find me in ‘Sri madbhaagwat mahapuraanam’. Someone who has some deep insight will be able to find me and recognize me there. Otherwise people will read or listen stories, take prasaadam and will leave for their homes”.

Friends, that is the first example found in history of mankind that some divine personality has put itself in form of a scripture and became a light-house.

Why did Krishna do so ?.

“Because in Kaliyuga it will be almost impossible to find a genuine Guru and people will get misled and misguided and misused by the Gurus in human form”. Krishna told Uddhava.

The very scene is in our sight nowadays.

Gurus, Babas, Swamis and Bapus.

So many anushthaans of ‘Sri madbhaagwat mahapuraanam’ and no result is seen in the society.

The Katha-vaachaks are busy in collecting money, building ashrams, giving mantras. Big temples, bigger temples, more temples; but where is the peace of mind, harmony in society, philanthropic approach ?

Someone in crying injured on the road and you are in a hurry to attend your satsang session of ‘Art of Living’.

What this Art of Living is of use?

Tsunami hit people were crying for help. No shelter, no food, no medicine was there. One of our present God-men went there. Then a rumour spread that an other tsunami is on its way and this god-man combed his hair and fled towards a safe place, leaving behind crying humanity.

He had every right to save his life. But what about those people for whom he had gone there ?.

Wasn’t it just a publicity stunt ?.

So, please respect your own intellect first.

Again, Krishna left himself in ‘Sri madbhaagwat mahapuraanam’.

Though his teachings are available in ‘Sri Madbhagwat Geeta’ also. He said he will be found in ‘Sri madbhaagwat mahapuraanam’ in toto.

 Innocent people are listening and Swamies and Goswamis are telling stories, singing bhajans, distributing prasaadam and that's all. They are there to fill their wallets.

“……………………………………………………………………………….
Kaarita Kan Lobhen , Katha Saarh Tato Gatah.”

Though telling and listening ‘Sri madbhaagwat mahapuraanam’ has just turned to be a dogma , but a heart full of love can even now find Lord Krishna there.

“Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum!”.
          -----          -----       -----       -----        -----        -----        -----        -----       
The universal nature is full of mercy. When people forgot its divine message another rivulet of its mercy incarnated and is flowing as a divine river to refresh human consciousness.

A scripture whose each and every word is pious , its just recitation fills you with integrity and ecstasy is with us to show the path to the bewildered humanity.

We will have a glimpse of this Great Blessing in any other post soon.

Hari Om Tat Sat

  1. respected sir,
    whatever the scripture or book is, in which lord krishna or any other lord/lordess still reside with his changed form, though 100 thousand times a man read any book, i believe he can not understand, what is written, till he is not enlightened.
