Today one of the friends mentioned, that God sent three men with boat to save drowning man.....Believe me, I laughed a lot after reading that........it really help me relieved the tension, what I was facing, when I read today's update.......after watching today's episode, I felt so sad........
I just want to say the following.......Let me know your thoughts please............
Gajendra Moksh:
Gajendra Moksh is the take of a celebrated elephant whose cries for help brought down the Lord Vishnu from his celestial abode.
The Pandya King Indradyumnan is believed to have worshiped Lord Narayana or Vishnu with a fervor that far supersedes ordinary men. Unfortunately, for some reason the king earned the displeasure of Sage Druvasa. The Maharishi cursed the king to be born into the class of animals. Upon hearing this monarch was reduced to tears and beseeched the sage to revoke his curse because as an animal his daily prayers to the lord Vishnu would remain unfulfilled. The king held his prayers and offerings to his deity dearer than his own life. Moved by such piety, the sage blessed King Indradyumnan with life as an elephant and promised that his devotion would remain in such an animal incarnation too. He also promised that the king would receive deliverance through the blessings of the Lord himself.
A demi-god, Huhu, similarly invited the wrath of Maharishi Devalar and was cursed to be reborn as a crocodile. It is believed that the sages of ancient India were extremely benevolent. Having cursed another human being, their wrath would immediately be replaced by regret of having given way to the sin of anger. Rishi Devalar too repaired this curse soon by assuring Huhu that he would be liberated from his cursed life as a crocodile by Lord Vishnu's grace.
Indradyumnan was reborn as the elephant Gajendra and yet did not lose his devotion. Every morning he would pluck a lotus from a water tank and offer it to the lord. Gajendra was a benevolent elephant king and his herd accompanied him every morning in this ritual. One such dawn as Gajendra entered the sacred tank to bathe and pick a pink blossom that would be his day's offering to his deity, a crocodile gripped his foot and slowly Gajendra was dragged into the waters. The herd joined in their efforts to extricate their king from the peril at hand but the crocodile proved to be too powerful for them all. It is believed that the crocodile with such virile strength was none other than Huhu reborn.
After a long and enfeebling struggle, Gajendra's strength ebbed and faced with impending death he sought his favorite god's aid. "Adi Moolam", Gajendra is said to have cried. This call refers to the Lord as the ancient, beginning less source of the universe. To respond to his ardent devotees cries, Lord Vishnu mounted his vehicle, the mighty Garuda and approached the site. The wicked crocodile was slain by the Lord's discus (chakra) and the lord blessed Gajendra back into his human form. Thus both the prophecies of Gajendra's liberation (Gajendra Moksha) and Huhu's redemption came true.
The famous Hindu epic Srimad Bhagavatham also narrates this episode and holds Gajendra to have composed verses in the Lord's praise in his moments of crisis. It is believed that all those who narrate this episode of the Bhagavatham and pray to the God are liberated of sufferings and sins just as Gajendra was relieved of his woes. The moral of the legend lies in the powers of faith and devotion towards the Lord. At a very young age such awe and trust in the Divine is ingrained into the child's mind.
Bhakt ki bhakti mein itni Sharda aur bakthi hogi........tho bhagvaan ko tho aana hi hoga...........Every one is questioning today as to why Radhika is waiting for Kanha to come to her rescue and help......
but when Dev is coming and asking her as to why did she leave........she is not coming clean with him.........
If her nature was to use opportunity of being alone with Dev to reveal the truth........she would have used it long ago to reveal her relation to him and all the injustice done by Amma and Devki all along.....But she never does, nor she ever will..........her silence speaks.......even though she hurt Dev so much today, yet Dev understood her nature and also knew why she was lying (to push him towards Vish)........
Also, what would she say?? That your bhabhi and everyone including Dadi threw me out........? What will she achieve by telling him that...........he will be against him family, and Rads knows this very well.......................so that he does not go against the family and brings no dishonor to family and RP post...........all the hell will let loose if she reveals..........so she is quiet....and taking all pain.......She is like Neel Kant - Lord Shiva, who consumes poison for welfare of mankind........she is consuming poison for welfare of Dev's family and Shastriji's family.........
But it is all pariksha for her, Kanha himself will come for her..........and she will get whatever is rightfully hers............
