The Yaga was performed in a grand manner. At the noon-time the sun god holding a bowl of gold, called the king by his name and said: "Dasaratha all the devas are pleased with you and are answering your prayers. Here is porridge sent by the gods for your wives. You will be blessed with sons if they have drink this divine beverage." Dasaratha's wives partook of the porridge and Sri Vishnu as he had assured the devas, incarnated as a son to King Dasaratha through his wife Kausalya. The child was named Sri Rama. Another child to Kaikeyi named Bharatha and Sumitra gave birth twin children Named Lakshmana and Chatrukana.

A sign on God's grace
Once there was a
debatable program held in the earth (Boologam) and Sri Naradha was a judge to
the program. There was a heavy crowd and first Naradha gave the introduction of
the theme and he explained. “I bless you all you audience and I explain the theme
of discussion going to holding here.
Vaivasvata Manu, whose
original name was Satyavratan, is the 7th Manu and considered the first king to
rule the earth, The queen's name is Barhismati.
They had 10 sons 3 children died during their childhood the remaining 7 were crowned as kings of 7 islands, one of them is called Uttanapadhan he has two queens the first queen's name is Suneethi another queen’s name is Sruchi. They each have a son names the first son is Duruvan and the second is called Uttaman. One day that king was sitting on his Royal seat with his second wife Sruchi keeping Uttaman on his lap. Seeing, this Duruvan running to his father and tried to sit on his father's lap but his second wife who under being jealous natures she pushes Duruvan and said “O child, if you want to sit on Uthaman father's lap, for that. either you should be born from my womb, or you have to perform penance. go away” telling this she pushed him. The unfortunate child ran to his mother Suneethi and told her the whole story. Suneethi told Duruvan that “O my child you don’t worry about all these happened, all these are because of our bad time yes, your stepmother's word is true my child you go to forest and do penance. As his mother's word he proceeds go to a forest to do penance and on his way to forest fortunately he met Naradha and Narada heard his sad news from him. As soon he heard his sad story, compassionately who initiated the Vasudeva mantram to Duruva and also, he showed the way to the forest. Duruva pay his solutions to Naradha and followed the route and he reached to forest and he sat on a under a tree and become to start his penance. After a long year his penance Duruva got answer Narayana appeared in front of him, and he asked Duruva “O My Child I am very Happy for your devotion, what you the boon you wish from you? Duruva paid his solutions to God said "O god I don't want to go back to the country, I wish to get salvation to me and my mother “That is my wish. As soon heard his wish Narayana said to him “child I gave you the boon as your wish, however not at present, now you go to your country, and in appropriate age you will be crowned as an emperor and you rule the country at last in right time you will attain your salvation and shine as a star in the sky. God said to Duruvan disappeared from his sight. After finished his explanation of the topic of the program, Naradha announced the name of topic that is offence deed and pious deed. The debaters are very famous highly well-qualified. This program is for an hour kindly be seated and listen the arguments.” The argument was gone on for an hour with so many faults and good about Uthanapathan here have given the final part.
Offence deed I. “It is said the "Vaivasvata Manu" is one of the most important beings at the highest levels of initiation of the masters of the ancient wisdom, along with Maitreyar, and the MahaChohan. According to System of rules, each root race has its own Manu which physically incarnates in an advanced body of an individual of the old root race and physically originated the first individuals the root race. Manava grahasya sutra, Manava Silpa sastras and Manava Darmasastra (Manusmiruthi the rules) the theory of evolutionary works by on the law laid down for the most important and earliest metrical works of the Darmasastra textual tradition of Hinduism. If the king just kept quite that as the queen's word is right. Then what is respect of his ancestor’s rules? hence Uthanapathan is not a faithfully righteous man. Legally Duruvan is his own child and he has all right to have to be a king so, Duruva should be crowned as a king”.
Pious deed 2. He begins his argument. “Some action, if a strange man see according to his opinion on Uthanapadhan's act would be a wrong but I will not agree “ There are various other attributes have two kinds, likings or hating. Not because of he loves second son that's why so he kept quiet. One cannot conclude that he is leading unrighteous way of life. He is not jealousy, he is a very truthful man, and he was not selfish. So, if he remained silent without saying anything which means there must be some real reasons behind it. All actions are performed by the Almighty of God, the ordinary human being is merely an instrument. If one does not have this realization, implying of his own ignorance will doom him into shackles of worldly bonds. Hence one cannot decide Uthanapathan is a slave to his second wife or he does not like Duruva. My conclusion part is Uthanapathan is pious person.
Once for all finished
their argument now the judgement time and Naradha begins to announce his
judgement.
All the people who were being listened the both of the pundits view of opinion’s; the things differ from another. but if you think deeply its reason and the truth will come to know. Uthanapathan has not hated nature, he loves all. He is the obvious influence of previous Dharma sutras and Arthasahatras, in particular, the Manu smriti. He is the first adopter the term of vyavaharapadas. He has shown in ruling the kingdom, particularly of the eighteen "Titles of Law" the Grounds for Litigation. Uthanapathan is the role model to the world. He is a prime example and never lose any of his ancestor’s patron of law. Now I come to Duruvans history, Utthanaptha did not take Duruva and made him to sit on his lap. This is not a major crime. He knew his second wife Sruthi’s jealousy nature of mind she was not right but sometime the devils also will tell positively specify words, as she told the positive words that do penance that was the positive action to Duruva. He might be thought that Duruva has to learn to live from his childhood, perhaps if he opposes Sruchi and alow Duruva to sit on his lap what will happen? Duruvan may feel happy then what will happen? in the same way she will oppose for no reason, is that good to his feature life? so, that was the reason why he kept quiet. otherwise, how will Duruvan get Sakshat Sri Vishnu's bestows (anugrham) and crowned as an emperor of the country and at the end he will shine in the sky as a star? ('Nakshatra Padhavi')
If one wish to achieve
something in his life he has to have strong determination, encouragement, presence
of mind, ability, physically, mentally, legally, morally, one needs skilled
training, and devotion from the childhood. One should certainly need Almighty
of god's grace; this is what Duruvan got. Thus, Ultramarathon’s silent mode
enlighten to Duruvans life. Heard Naratha’s judgement all the crowd very happily
and heavily applauded, and gone to their places and Naradha too took leave from
them.

The cradle of spirituality
Arrogance Nature Destroy The Wisdom
Some philosophical aspects of Ramayanam
A
pandit was giving lecture about the moral truth in front of his Audience,
comparing with Ramayanam. When he was discoursing about Ramayanam there was a
man raised his hand and wished to ask a question to the Pandit. Noticed this he
agreed to ask question to that man...
“Swamy Pranams...Sri Rama is considered as a god, to kill a demon no need to
struggle that much, he could kill them directly from where he is. Apart from
this sending a pregnant lady to the forest because of a lay man's word where is
Dharmam in Ramayanam story?
The Pandit accepted about his question and begins to answer and explain that
Gentle man's question.
"Gentleman you asked in one word and two kind of questions, so I explain
the both of your questions separately. Good thought and good questions. He
begins to explain about his questions.
“Ramayanam is one of the richest elements of the Culture, enriches and makes it
a unique one in the world. Very interesting and intelligible aspects meant to
convey rules and maximum guide of daily life to a mankind and powerful messages
to the younger generation. The result of the natural evolution and its
stories have gone in the process of being down from centuries. Ramayanam is in
philosophically a logical epic of right: family, civil society, status, the
highest moment in the development of absolute devotion.
The Ramayanam talks about life of Rama, who lived his entire life by the rules
of dharma. When Rama was young, he shows his obedience to wards his teachers,
(Guru) he was the perfect son, an ideal husband, and a responsible ruler.
However, I come to his first question why Rama didn't kill the demon directly
without struggles. Here is the brief answer.
There were demon's trouble intolerably cruelly gave to all sages, hermits,
saints all people and gods. because of their problems all sages went to
Vaikuntam to meet Lord Mahavishnu to pray and solve their problems. When sages
try to enter in to sanctum, the twarapalagar called Jaya Vijay stopped
them. Sages were so upset because of their bad behavior, they got very
angry and cursed them to have birth as demon. Yogamayasakthi made them to get
curse like that. Jaya Vijaya went in with all sages, and sages did prayer
to Sri Vishnu and talked about their problems. Lord Vishnu said to the sages
that “do not worry and I will take necessary actions in right time”. Happily,
all sages went. Jaya Vijaya realized their mistake and prayed Vishnu
to revive the curse. The Lord said that, he cannot revive sages, hermits,
saints, and Guru's, courses but I can give suggestions that either as my enemy
in 3 births or you can come back in 7 births as my devotee. They were very
reluctant for 7 births so They agreed as three births so they born as
Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakasibu as their first birth and they took their second
birth as Ravana and Kumbhakarna. Ravana
was Siva's devotee. He put his nerves as Veena's string and sung samaganam,
(normally people will say "Rakshasa pooja" as the same he worshipped
Lord Siva) instead of Lord Siva Brahma appeared in front of him and advised to
ask the boon as his wish. Happily, he asked boon that he should never die, and
live for ever and ever.! Lord Brahma
said that apart from this boon ask some other thing. He thought for some time
and asked the boon that he should not have death either by gods, demons and
animals and so on, but he had not ask about a human being. He forgot to ask. Lord Brahma granted the
boon as he wished and disappeared. Ravana became as Ravaneswara and he became
very stronger than before, he conquered all the demons’ kingdoms and he setup
as all-in-one demon kingdom. As Mareecha Subagu like head demons became
Ravana's slaves. In the
meantime Lord Vishnu told Indira before
he takes his embodiment in earth, send
an Apserass to Kekaya as a well-wisher to princess Kaikeyi. So, Indira sent an
apserass to Kekaya as princess Kaikeyi's stepmother and well-wisher named
Mandara and she instructed that should be a character of being Partial and
dislike the first Dhasarata's child. Lord
Vishnu incarnated to King Dasaradha as his first son, Adhishesha and Shankam as
the king’s twin sons and his Chakkaram incarnated as second child. His Majesty
Dhasaradha gave names, first son is Raman the second son is Bharadha and 3rd
and 4th Lakshmana and Chatrukna. Sri MahaLakshmi incarnated from the earth in
Mithila as Janaka Maharishi's daughter and named Sita. The Lord's Padmam born
as Ravana's Brother named Vebeeshana. Lords Gadha born as son of Vayu named
Hanuman. So, all incarnated to “Dushta Samharam and Sishta Paripalanam. (Which
means annihilations of evil forces and Protection of the universe) All Sages,
Hermits, saints, devas felt very happy to see through their spiritual vision
that the Lord incarnated in Ayodhi and all their problems will be set right
soon. All trees’ and plants bloomed with colorful flowers, the rain showered
tenderly, blew gentle and cool breeze with nice smell, all the greenish grosses
rhythmically nodded their head, The thunder lighting played like drums, all
birds sung melodiously, Age old Monarch Dasarada was walking to royal assembly
hall happily like a young man, People in
Ayodhi were very happy. These
all are essence of Ramayanam and we all know very well. Now the reply of why
God struggled to kill a demon. The Pandit continued and said: he killed not
only one demon; he annihilated a huge evil force.
I
explain briefly as per my knowledge, the beautiful strategy, about divine’s
annihilation of the evil force by step by step.
First step he made his own people as Ravana and Kumbakarna and many demons kingdom made as one. (Made for easy operation) The second step: was he put a person as informer Vebeeshana born as Ravana's own brother (to know the depth of strength) The third step all the devagana's born as monkeys and bears in between the place called Kiskinda. The Head Vali, Sugriva, Hanuman, Jambavan, and so on disguise in appearance of animals and monkeys. If anything passes that way so to get some evidences and also no one can find because they are animals. The fourth step:
When Sage Viswamitra was doing his deep penance. when all other co working sages where worried about the safeguard of the penance. At that time Sage Visvamitra saw in his spiritual vision that Sakshat Sri Vishnu incarnated as Rama” Very happily opened his eyes and told this to all sages that he will bring Rama for their proposed Mahayagam. As he said he brought Rama and Lakshmana, to protect for their Mahayagam, On the way to Rama destroyed Thataki, then they destroyed during the yagam Subagu and a group of demons. The Mahayagam is been saved. The fifth step: Mandara's advice to Kaikeyi’s promises gave a way to Rama, Lakshmana and Sita go to the forest and stayed a place called Panchavadi That was Ravana's area. Because of Soorpanaga assaulted by Lakshmana, Ravana's angry motion of the scheme and arrangement and cruel motivation took to the huge destruction of the whole demon kingdom. That he sent Mareecha as a golden deer cub to he kidnap Sita. When the golden deer was playing near the hermitage Sita found that he was a demon. Rama too knew. She thought if miss the chance perhaps have to waiting for more years, so Sita humbly asked Rama, that she wanted the golden deer cub, and Rama chased to catch the deer cub, and it went too far from their hermitage and with no other choice, he shot an arrow at it. At the moment of its death turned into a demon as his original form, changed his voice like Rama and shouted out in a loud voice, "O Lakshmana, save me" As soon Sita hears his words, she got worried and sent Lakshmana to save Rama. As soon he saw that demon and thought that when he had been in Sidhasramam to protect the yagam he escaped from my arrows but now he was caught.
Sita is
Sakshat Mahalakshmi she herself is a golden treasure trove, why does she need
this monstrous fawn? because they incarnated as human beings so acted as such.
Ok I come to the story.
During this time Ravana came as a sage to their hermitage asking something to eat. Sita was in worried mind, so she did not notice the fake sage. she was looking forward for Rama and Lakshmana arrival. He again asked food little loud voice. Sita noticed him and she went in to bring some fruits offer to him, and when she was to give those fruits to him but that Lakshmana's safety line stopped her. she went back. He arose very angry yet suppress his anger and he inquired about the details as if he knew nothing. She raised her head and told him why they have come to the place and about her worry regarding her husband and his younger brother and why delayed arrival with great pain. Angrily he laughed at her and said: "Sita I am Lankapuri king Ravaneswara I have come to take you to my country". as soon she heard his words very angrily saw him and then she ran into the hermitage. He was shouting and was calling her. she did not come out, and he cut up the earth include with Sita, and then he took with Sita the cut in to a piece of the earth and flown away. Rama and Lakshmana came to their hermitage and they found that Sita was not in their hermitage. Very worriedly Rama was searching everywhere in that forest, but Sita was not found anywhere. Without food they wandered somewhere in search of Sita.
In this
part I would wish to write a small and very interesting incidence in Ramayanam.
When Rama was looking Sita through the places thoroughly, he happened to hear a faint voice that calling his name Rama, and he went through the direction of the voice, and there he found Jatayu was calling him in the state of death. Rama could see the marks of Jatayu last great fight all around. Unarmed he had opposed the Rakshasa who had all his weapons and his protection and magnificence of his pride at the cost of his own life. Tears flowed from Rama's eyes as he listened to Jatayu's tale. He flung aside his bow, and embraced the bird. The prince's sorrow knew no bounds. He lamented loudly, rolling on the ground and dust all over the body, with tears from his eyes. The divine awesome actions are endless. they have suffered with grieve like mortals. Rama was sad that Sita was not with him when he was performing the last rites of Jatayu (wife's presence is a must when husband performs funeral rites.) Amazingly Site's shadow stood by his side Rama. Now Sri Rama was thinking and consoled himself, that he was unable to perform his last right ceremony to his father Dasaradha, yet he got peace of mind thinking that it was done for Jatayu. Pramanatwam of this incidence (it is said Jatayu's battle with Ravana is most important than the battles in Lanka.) Sri Rama performed Jatayu's funeral ceremony in place is called Thirupullam Boothamkudi, Sri Rama gave Jatayu liberation here with a place in the heaven. There is a belief that Sita is standing on the golden lotus in the middle of the temple tank in this temple. Thiru means 'great” Pul means 'bird' bootham is 'soul' and kudi is “place”. That is why this place is called Thirupullam boothamkudi.
This place is 30 miles from Kumbakonam. From Chennai approx. 300 miles. The Pandit said: "ok I come the final story" Final step is war:
After killed Ravana's sons and their troops and Kumbakarna troops. Vebeshana surrendered himself and went and joined with Rama. At last Ravana came to war field and he saw the beauty of arrayed of with the all-animal soldiers. Rama and Lakshman, was standing on the war car only people, Vebeeshana also standing along with them. He saw Rama at a minute of glance, he stunned to see his handsome aspects. The strait shoulders, million sun's brightness of his face's beauty, he stood in awe of his long beautiful arms up to his knees. Then he thought “this is why Sita did not like me and always thinking about him Rama”. When Ravana was thinking Rama called him and said “Ravana, you surrender to me, and hand over Sita, if you not handover Sita to me I will kill you". Ravana did not agree surrender to Rama so, Rama Ravana war started and Rama made him unarmed and given a chance to think and asked him to come next day. Ravana went to his palace and sit near God and thought loudly “I won the eight directions; I brought all devas and other people including Navagraha's all under my control. A normal human being prince annihilated all my kingdom, my own people, friends, my brothers, and sons, all my family except me. Besides I ever seen the earth, and never ever bowed down my head but today I saw the earth however, I feel proud that I fought with a great warrior.” I don't care about tomorrow. As long as the story of Rama exists, so will my story, after swearing that the next day he went to battle field started to fight with Rama. after for some time Vebeeshana advised Rama that to shoot the arrow to in between stomach and chest accordingly Sri Rama executed the arrow on him and killed Ravana.
“Gentlemen
any emperor in their life time only two people alone with the animal soldiers
destroyed a huge evil force? Did happen in any were this world? Ever heard.?
That is the pride of Sri Vishnu's incarnation as Sri Rama. From the beginning
Sri Rama did not show any miracle. This was a specialty of this Avatar it
showed and advises to the people that whatever problem occurs in the life,
should not be panic, instead be brave and good, wise, and follow the rules
regulations. With this I explained that God's evil destruction and its rules.
Now I come to that gentleman's second question: What justification was there for sending a pregnant woman to the forest for someone's word? Where is Dharma in this? The answer is when Rama sent Sita to the forest again not because of an anonymous talk about Sita. Once Sita was very intolerably grief, Rama saw and he asked Sita the reason of her distress. Sita said to Rama: that “when we had aaranya vasam Ravana came to kidnap me, I understood that was the demon not a sage at that time I went in to yogagni and was staying with Agni Bhagavans place. Maya Sita went with him. I was safe without any difficulties but at that time nearly 10 months to a year Maya suffered and faced lot of difficulties, how much she struggled with that demon for me and how much she ill-treated by the demoness, poor Maya went to the end of the limit, she could not tolerate the awkwardly difficulties, and so that she tried to commit suicide, after Ravana vadam in that agni parikshai I my self-materialized out. That incident was for people of universe, and the world, in my mind that was not fair, and I will have nice life on other's plight, that was not wise, and I am not happy, I am feeling like my heart breaks and I can't take it anymore I pray humbly and requesting you that I wish myself to go to the forest once again. Satyam, Dharmam not only for the men those are applicable for ladies too. as soon hear the message from Sita, Rama was thinking about that, at that time co incidentally his minister told the tale of washer man about Sita, and Rama accepted Sita's request and sent her to the forest once again. O gentle man because of this reason Sita sent to the forest once again.
The pandit finished the lecture and said
"Janaki Kantha Smaranam," all audience replied "Jai Jai Ram Ram.
"
Arrogance will never be glorified

The Knowledge of Nature
There
was an inspection going on in a school, so all the class teachers were very
carefully teaching their subjects to the students in the class room. Once the
Inspector finishes his work in some classes, he entered to the next class room.
The teacher was teaching about discipline comparing with Ramayanam and Mahabhratham.
and their daily affairs
The Inspector was
sitting for some time and watching, He thought the Teachers way of teaching is
a little different method. and also, he felt that this teacher is insisting the
children too far from their age so he told to the teacher that “Sir as my
opinion your way of teaching is too harsh. Avoidable very burden to the young
students, what and why for they need scriptural truths and deep philosophical
concepts they cannot follow and understand. ..matter of fact you should change
your way of teaching, this kind of precepts may screened from
their social contact and activity”..
Further he said that “I don't believe all old scriptures now the science is so
advance so learn to teach children the modern way”..
The teacher was very upset of the Inspector but he did not show that he smiled
at him and said,..”Sir we always look at it from a respectful point of
view and also from our core best way of taught.. . Our way of
teachings, children will get strong self-confidence, braveness, truthfulness,
they can face any kind of troubles and problems.... For example: a little bird
which flown and sit on a branch of a tree where it continues to sit for some time.
Unexpectedly strong wind hit up and the branch starts to move, swaying back and
front. The little bird will not get frightened by this movement of the branch.
Why? Because it does not depend on the branch for its support. It depends on
its wings and it has strong self-confidence, even if that branch breaks, the
tiny bird would not threaten or cause it to falls. In this way the children
should have self-confidence, even you feel harsh or hard but children should
learn.
The Inspector was not convinced on his words so further he was blaming about pranayama
and meditations ,to the young children ..Scientifically teaching is better way.
Teacher replayed and said “ if you think so I have to give more explanation
about your thought are you free today sir,”?
“Yes no question of free or busy this is my profession continue your
explanations”
“Sir as far as I know science is the performance of human effort to understand
the history of the human body how naturally works ,with the formulation and
testing of proposition based on observational evidence; experiments are
important where applicable, but their function is merely to simplify
observation by imposing controlled conditions. This is fundamental. and lot
more to learn, In the same way pranayama and mediation are also the same and
lot more to learn …just they are very initial lessons and very fundamentals....
here is the explanation...
pranayama is controlled the chest congestion and breath; it gives protection from pulmonary
disease. One of the major secrets of capacity for survival and make
fresh is a purified blood circulation... The fast and most effective
way to purify the blood is by taking in extra supplies of oxygen from the air
we breathe. The Pranayama (Breathing exercise) helped more and the most
effective methods best solution the blood with extra oxygen... Poor oxygen
supply affects all parts of the body. The oxygen supply is reduced to all parts
of the body, when one gets older due to poor lifestyle. Many people even young need
reading glasses and suffer with hearing problems...
When an acute circulation blockage led to the heart of less oxygen, the result
is a heart attack. If this occurs to the brain, the result is a stroke. The
brain needs more oxygen than any other organ. If it doesn't get enough, the
result is mental sluggishness, negative thoughts and depression and, eventually,
they will enter vision and hearing problem.... even the young people will
suffer from depressions and They get irritated for everything..., To all the
prevention and the remedy is doing pranayama from young age will be the best
this is a subject in our school.
The older children are learning meditation, which will give calm mind. The
popular understanding of the word, meditation refers to concentrating on an
object, which is not true... The true meditation is Think nothing just
relaxing the body which is need to this stressful world. These exercises are
essential from the young age. I hope you too aware of this sir”?
Inspector said that “I am aware our body needs oxygen .but really I am unaware
this much of detail ..”My suggestion is even if not practice from the young age
at least from now on should learn and do practice” he took leave and went.
This crystal like true allows to realize and secure knowledge on the simple way
prevention of the big diseases
Intellectual Partner
The True Devotion
The meaning:-
Wife, children, relatives, eating, wealth, for all these one should have full satisfactions soon. But Education, Pooja, Sthotram, Namajabam, keerthanam, Dhanam and dharmam all for these any one should not be satisfy... the reason is wife and wealth etc one will get according to his past deeds, even try hard won't get more than that... Yet one get human body the duties, In any reason we should not be satisfied

Righteousness Misdeed
There was a very highly cultured life in the seclusion of forest recesses, centered round religious teachers. These Hermitages (ashramas) kept alive the bright fires of learning and spiritual thought. Young men of noble birth eagerly sought education at these hermitages. World-aged people went there for peace. These centers of culture were respected by the rulers of the land..
Sage Mandavya spent his days in long penance and meditations. One day he was under the mauna vratam (Meaning he won't speak that day)and deep in meditation, a group of robbers came to his hermitage, with stolen things from the King’s palace and were being chased by the soldiers. They entered in to the hermitage and saw Rishi Mandavya in deep meditation . They hid the stolen things in his hermitage and ran away. After for some time , the soldiers came there and asked Rishi if he had seen any robbers.?
Rishi Mandavya was out of his meditation, but could not speak due to his mauna vratam. .he could not answered to the soldiers.. The soldiers rushed in to the hermitage and saw the Stolen things. The commander of the soldiers took the things and went to the king. And said “O your majesty.. I have found the chief of the robbers with these stolen ornaments. The robber is wearing the cloth as a Sage and pretending to be in mauna vratam.” Without verifying the facts, the King issued orders for Sage Mandavya to be speared. The commander speared the sage.
The virtuous Sage Mandavya did not die due to his yogic powers. The news spread in the kingdom the king was very frightened and surprised came to the spot and saw that sage was alive.. as soon as the king saw the sage he ordered to the soldiers to bring him down and the soldiers did so, The king did prenams and beg for his pardon and forgiveness..
Sage was not angry on the king and pardoned ..
.Then the Sage directly went to Dharma devan the head of the righteousness and asked “I have led a pious and virtuous life, yet I was subject to his punishment. What did I do wrong that I was punished thus?”
“Dharmadevan replied that he was poked the ants and insects with a sharp pin , It is law of Karma and sin. Any bad or evil deed will beget the punishment .
The Sage asked to Dharmadevan “When did I poked the ants and insects with the sharp pin ?”
Darmadevan replied that “You poked ants and insects when you were a child,”
Sage Mandavya got very angry and said, “Dharmadeva, your punishment far exceeds the sins committed as a child in ignorance. I give you a curse that you to be born in the earth as in a low class human being and live with grievous in that life till death.”
Lord Dharma who was thus cursed by the sage Mandavya incarnated as Vidura and was born of the servant-maid of Ambalika, the wife of Vichitravirya.
Each story of these teachings is a rare jewel. It is only when you completely understand the nature of the wisdom the path of righteousness. that one will be able to understand the Mahabaratam in full and live a life free of grief and sorrow.
Take great interest to learn properly the knowledge which is very essential one to discharge his/her duties. faith that you will be able to fulfill the role for which you have taken a human life. Faith in yourself and trust in God is the real secret of greatness.
