Protective Powers

 It is very exciting and amazement of Mahabaratam epic the greatness of beginning and the finished manner ... It begins with: "Vyasa 's dramatic poetry with all extraordinarily explained which are shown the nature of Dharma. and plenty of Dharma kadhas.. The ending as a preach manner , who is the source and support for everything, who is eternal unchanging self-luminous, who is emphasized to all human beings the truthfulness, and righteousness.. Lord said “Hear my words which can give highest degree of Peace, Joy and Eternal Bliss. One can attain wealth and all objects of desires fulfill through undesired Dharmam (righteousness). One should not abandon Dharmam at any cost, even at the risk of his life...Should not avoid dharmam out of compelling emotion , fear, greediness ”...This explanation proclaimed by the great and gorgeously merciful of Lord Krishna kept Arjunan as a mediator to the world...!
All above are poise Tharaka Mantram If one show his sincere devotion, Meditation trust, and surrender himself to Lord He will attain everything. like prosperity, long life, eternal bliss, everlasting peace and enduring fame and at lost gods realization."

One of the teaching of Lord is the Rajya Dharmam..He said that everything that is in this Prakirti (earth). It needs protection. Just as we protect our possessions and property with caring and precautionary measures ..This earth level surface also needs to be protected. The sufficient rain in the year protects the fertility of this earth plane and this is possible only by the protective powers which accrue when the Manava Dharma (Human Virtues) and Raja Dharma (Monarchy Virtues) are followed without fail.

The related story:
Sage Vibhandaka was a son of sage Kasyapa..Once Vibhandaka was doing a vigorous penance in a forest reeds. That power went to Indiralogam Indira got fear that penance power by that Rishi could prove fatal to the heavenly world. So he sent Urvasi to bother Rishi's penance. She came and bothered Rishi's penance , because of the disturbance that Rishi opened his eyes and became lead to love affairs with that dancer and she gave birth a male child and left the child with him and went to Indirans abode .he named that child as Rishyasringa. .Because of this incidence Sage began to hate all women kind, henceforth he raised the boy in a forest, isolated from society. The boy never saw any girls or women, and was not told of their existence. Rishyasringa grown up nicely and he was doing all his duties penance and he became virtuous Brahmachari.

In the mean time Anga desam was Heavy drought Crops deteriorated for want of rain and people are suffered for lack of food. All living things were in distress. Romapada, the king of the country, approached an astrologer to have advise from him to save the kingdom from the bad situation
The astrologer replied: "Best of kings, there is a young sage called Rishyasringa who lives a life of perfect chastity. Invite him to our kingdom. He has won the power, by his austerities bring plenty of rain."
The king discussed with his other royal personage the possibilities to bring Rishyasringa to his kingdom . They instructed a plan, the king agreed and ordered .. According to the kings order , the adviser called the most charming citizens of the city and charge with a specified duty them to bringing Rishyasringa to Anga.
The young maiden were in a dilemma in her mind that if she did not agree the king will give punishment or other hand perhaps that sage was there he will curse..After a long thought finally she decided to join with others. They made up their minds to go,relying of God they accepted to help in achieving the good work with confidence to free the kingdom from the drought condition.
They made a beautiful garden of a big boat, with artificial trees and creepers, with an fake ashramam in the center.
The captain she had the boat anchored in the river near Vibhandaka's hermitage, and the courtesans visited the hermitage with trembled hearts. Luckily for them, the sage was not at home. Feeling that this was the nice opportunity , so one of the beautiful maiden went to the sage's son Rishyasringa.
She thus addressed Rishyasringa: " O great sage, are you well? Have you sufficient roots and fruits? Are the penances of the rishis of the forest proceeding satisfactorily? Is your father's glory constantly growing? Is your own study of the Vedas progressing?" (This was how rishis used to accost one another in those days.)
The young sage had never before seen such a beautiful human form or heard such a sweet voice. He never seen a woman before, His mind began to work fast and he beheld that graceful form.
He thought that she was a young sage like himself, and felt a strange uncontrollable joy surging up in his soul. He answered, fixing eyes on her beauty :
"You seem to be a bright brahmachari. Who are you? I bow to you. Where is your hermitage? What are the austerities you are practicing?" and he provided her the customary offerings.
She said to him: "At a distance of three yojanas from here is my ashramam. I have brought fruits for you. I am not fit to receive your offerings, but I shall take your warm greetings and respect as the customary offerings." Finally she embraced him warmly, fed him with the sweets she had brought, decorated him with perfumed garlands, and served him with drinks. She embraced him once again, saying that this was their way of salutation to honored guests. He thought it a very agreeable way.
Shortly after, fearing the return of the sage Vibhandaka, the young maid took her leave of Rishyasringa saying it was time for her to perform the agnihotra sacrifice and gently slipped out of the hermitage.
When Vibhandaka returned to the hermitage, he was shocked to see the place so untidy with sweet meals spilled all over, for the hermitage had not been cleansed. The shrubs and creepers looked be dirty and untidy.
His son's face had not its usual, but he seemed to be disturbed the usual simple duties of the hermitage had been neglected.
Sage Vibhandaka understood that what happens to his son and asked his son “My son any one been here to serve you and where did you get this kind of garland and why do you so worried...?
Rishyasringa replied: "A brahmacharin of wonderful form was here. I cannot describe his brightness and beauty or the sweetness of his voice. My inner being has been filled with indescribable happiness and affection by listening to his voice and looking at his eyes. When he embraced me, which it seems is his customary greeting, I experienced a joy which I have never felt before, no, not even when eating the sweetest fruits," and then he described to his father the form, beauty and the doings of his fair visitor.
Rishyasringa added wistfully: "My body seems to burn with desire for the company of that brahmacharin and I should like to go and find him and bring him here somehow. How can I give you any idea about his devotion and brightness? My heart wants to see him."
After here that news from him Vibhandaka searched the Brahmacharin but his efforts all in vain, for three days in the forest to find out the hermitage and the Bramacharin who had done this injury, and returned frustrated
Watching the another opportunity and another occasion to meet Rishyasringa, when Vibhandaka had gone out of the hermitage to bring roots and fruits, the courtesan again came softly to the place where Rishyasringa was seated. As soon as he saw her at a distance, Rishyasringa ran to greet her delightfully
Even without waiting for prompting this time, Rishyasringa went near her and after the customary greetings said: "O shining brahmacharin, before my father returns let us go to your hermitage."
This was just what she had hoped and worked for. And together they entered the boat, which had been made to look like a hermitage. As soon as the young sage had entered, the boat was freed from its moorings and floated easily down with its welcome freight to the kingdom of Anga.
The coming of Rishyasringa delighted the King Romapada infinitely and he took his welcome guest to the luxuriously provided inner apartments specially prepared for him.
As foretold by the priests , rain began to pour the instant Rishyasringa set his foot in the country. The rivers and the lakes were full and the people rejoiced. Romapada gave his daughter Shanta in marriage to Rishyasringa.
Though all ended as he had planned, the king was uneasy in his mind, for he was afraid that Vibhandaka might come in search of his son and pronounce a curse on him.
So, he sought to too soften in feeling Vibhandaka by lining the route he would take with cattle and kind and by instructing the cowherds in charge to say that they were Rishyasringa's servants and had come to welcome and honor their master's father and place themselves at his service.
Not finding his son anywhere in the hermitage, the enraged Vibhandaka thought that this might be the work of the king of Anga.
He crossed intervening rivers and villages and marched to the capital of the king as if to burn him in his anger. But as at each stage of the journey he saw magnificent cattle which belonged to his son and was respectfully welcomed by his son's servants, his angry mood passed gradually as he approached the capital.
When he came to the capital, he was received with great honor and taken to the king's palace where he saw his son sitting in state like the king of the gods in heaven. He saw by his side his wife, the princess Shanta, whose great beauty soothed and pleased him.
Vibhandaka blessed his son king Rishyasringa. He told to his son: " My son do all that will please this king. After the birth of a son, come and join me in the forest." Rishyasringa did as his father's instruction .
Mahabharata's message is to all mankind that. It is the thread of the Vedanta, which is the other name for the Upanisads, that binds the Vedas and the Mahabharatam together with above message.Avvaiyar also told beutyfully Nallar oruvar ualaral   avar poruttu ellarkum paiyum Malai This is indication of a kings personified smart action. No one should think that bringing the rain is impossible mentioning rain is for an example. This story is explained that a king how should act in a fast manner when the kingdom was being in worst condition.. even further. Artha and Kama are important tie with dharmam then will lead ultimately to moksam, (Moksham means in this place prosperity)
Not only for a king even this advice perfectly suitable to a common family men too..!!
