Vashudeva knew it very well that krishna and Balrama were not an ordinary human beings, but were very extraordinary.One day, after having returned from the sacrificial performances at Kuruksetra, when Lord Krsna and Balarama went to offer Their respects to Vasudeva, Vasudeva took the opportunity of appreciating the exalted position of his two sons. Vashudeva started to praise then at the same time krishna also started to accept his praise and speak the entire philosophy of spiritual life in an abbreviated summation.In the meantime, Devaki, the mother of Lord Krsna, sat by the side of her husband. Previously she had heard that both Krsna and Balarama were so kind upon Their teacher that They had brought back the teacher's dead sons from the clutches of the superintendent of death, Yamaraja. Since she had heard this incident, she had been also thinking of her own sons who were killed by Kamsa, and while remembering them she became overwhelmed with grief. She then asked Krishna to bring back his other sons from death just as he brought his teacher son. After hearing Their mother request Lord Balarama and Krsna immediately called for the assistance of yogamaya and started for the lower planetary system known as Sutala which was ruled by Bali ( In Vamana Avtar when Bali gave lord everything he had lord then gave him whole Sutala for his residence and kingdom). Bali then with his whole family members greeted him and did his puja and all. then Bali did prayer and offered him a lots of stuff.
After Lord Krsna heard the prayers of Bali Maharaja, He spoke as follows: "My dear King of the demons, in the millennium of the Svayambhuva Manu, the Prajapati known as Marici begot six sons, all demigods, in the womb of his wife, Urna. Once upon a time, Lord Brahma became captivated by the beauty of his daughter and was following her, impelled by sex desire. At that time, these six demigods looked at the action of Lord Brahma with abhorrence. This criticism of Brahma's action by the demigods constituted a great offense on their part, and for this reason they were condemned to take birth as the sons of the demon Hiranyakasipu. These sons of Hiranyakasipu were thereafter put in the womb of mother Devaki, and as soon as they took their birth, Kamsa killed them one after another. My dear King of the demons, mother Devaki is very anxious to see these six dead sons again, and she is very much aggrieved on account of their early death at the hand of Kamsa. I know that all of them are living with you. I have decided to take them with Me in order to pacify My mother Devaki. After seeing My mother, all these six conditioned souls will be liberated, and thus in great pleasure they will be transferred to their original planet. The names of these six conditioned souls are as follows: Smara, Udgitha, Parisvanga, Patanga, Ksudrabhrt and Ghrni. They will be again reinstated in their former position as demigods."
And thereafter Lord Krsna and Lord Balarama took away the six conditioned souls and returned to the city of Dvaraka, where He presented them as little babies before His mother, Devaki. Mother Devaki became overwhelmed with joy and was so ecstatic in motherly feeling that immediately milk began to flow from her breasts, and she fed the babies with great satisfaction. She began to take them on her lap again and again, smelling their heads and thinking, "He has gotten my lost children back!" For the time being she became overpowered by the energy of Visnu, and in great motherly affection she began to enjoy the company of her lost children.

The milk from the breasts of Devaki was transcendental nectar because the same milk had been sucked by Lord Krsna. As such, the babies who sucked the breasts of Devakiji, which had touched the body of Lord Krsna, immediately became self-realized persons. The babies therefore began to offer their obeisances unto Lord Krsna, Balarama, their father Vasudeva, and mother Devaki. After this, they were immediately transferred to their respective heavenly planets.

After they departed, Devaki became stunned with wonder that her dead children had come back and had again been transferred to their respective planets (source: Bhagwatam 10.85)

thanks for the detail info.... i knew little about it.

i hv heard that once Kam Dev was proving his capabilities in front of Brahmaji n with his powers he captured Brahmaji in the beauty of the lady... ... as a result ... he was deprived of being worshiped .. so we dont see much devotees of Lord Brahma.

There is another story too behind Brahma ji not being worshiped.


Lack of Brahma worship in India

Although Brahma is one of the three major gods in Hinduism, few Hindus actually worship him. Today, India today has very few temples dedicated to Brahma, as opposed to the tens of thousands of temples dedicated to the other deities in the Trimurti, namely Vishnu and Shiva. Among the few that exist today, the most famous is in Pushkar in Rajasthan. Others include one in Thirunavaya in Kerala; one in the temple town of Kumbakonam, (Thanjavur District) in Tamil Nadu; Nerur village in Kudal taluka of SindhudurgMaharashtra ; one in Asotra village in Balotra Taluka of Barmer district in Rajasthan known as Kheteshwar Brahmadham Tirtha; one in Brahma-Karmali village in Sattari Taluka in Goa; one in Khedbrahma in Gujarat; and one in the village of Khokhan in the Kullu Valley, 4 km from Bhuntar. Regular pujas are held for Lord Brahma at the temple in Thirunavaya, and during Navrathris this temple comes to life with colourful festivities. district of

Another temple for Lord Brahma is located at Thirupattur, near Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu, South India. This temple also has the Samadhi for Sage Vyakrapatha.

Various stories in Hindu mythology talk about curses that have supposedly prevented Brahma from being worshiped on Earth.

According to a story in the Shiva Purana (dedicated to Lord Shiva), at the beginning of time in Cosmos, Vishnu and Brahma approached a huge Shiva linga and set out to find its beginning and end. Vishnu was appointed to seek the end and Brahma the beginning. Taking the form of a boar, Vishnu began digging downwards into the earth, while Brahma took the form of a swan and began flying upwards. However, neither could find His appointed destination. Vishnu, satisfied, came up to Shiva and bowed down to him as a swarupa of Brahman. Brahma did not give up so easily. As He was going up, he saw a ketaki (Sanskrit - Kaetakee) flower, dear to Shiva. His ego forced him to ask the flower to bear false witness about Brahma's discovery of Shiva's beginning. When Brahma told his tale, Shiva, the all-knowing, was angered by the former's ego. Shiva thus cursed him that no being in the three worlds will worship him.

According to another legend, Brahma is not worshiped because of a curse by the great sage BrahmarishiBhrigu. The high priest Bhrigu was organising a great fire-sacrifice (yajna) on Earth. It was decided that the greatest among all Gods would be made the presiding deity. Bhrigu then set off to find the greatest among the Trimurti. When he went to Brahma, the god was so immersed in the music played by Saraswati that he could hardly hear Bhrigu's calls. The enraged Bhrigu then cursed Brahma that no person on Earth would ever invoke him or worship him again.

In the Brahma Purana and Hindu cosmology, Brahma is regarded as the creator but not necessarily as God. Rather, He is regarded as a creation of God / Brahman. The lifespan of Brahma is 100 Brahma years, equivalent to 311,040,000,000,000 solar years. At the end of His lifespan, there will be a gap of 100 Brahma years, after which another Brahma or creator will begin the process of creation anew. This cycle is thought to repeat without end.

Thank you sooooo much Rajnish for posting this extremely beautfiul leelas, one of my fans that I love to read over and over again because Mata Devaki inspires me sooooo much; she was really picture perfect example of Saibaba's main ideals - shraddha and saburi. In I love it sooo much I've written a Hindi poem on this leela which I'd like to share... might not be perfect cuz being born an raised in America I have no formal hindi education - my first teacher was Ramanand Sagar... but still, here goes:

Srimad Bhagvatam 10:85

In Amritdhwani meter

*Kabhi Rulaayein, Kabhi Hasaayein

Prabhu Ki Leela Prabhu Hi Jaane,

Kabhi Bhayanak Yudh Ladein

Kabhi Bhakton Ke Dukh Dur Karein

Gita Gyan Dilaaya Aur Mahabharat Hua Samaapt

Laute Tab Balram Ke Sang Dwarika Dwarikanaath

Pehle Pehle Kya Karte Hai Prabhu Dwarika Aake,

Jagad-Pita Khud Maat-Pita Ki Ashish Lene Jaate

Bade Pyar Se Woh Vasudev Ke Charnon Sis Jhukaaye

Aur Vasudev Shri Vaasudev Ko Liye Gale Se Lagaaye

Maat Devaki Krishna Ko Dekhe Hriday Liye Lagaai

Makhan Mishri Mahaprabhu Ko Haath Se Apne Khilaai

Ajab Nirala Dhrishya Ye Bhakton, Dekho Jagad Ke Data

Geeta Gyan Dilaake Phir, Maiya Ka Dil Behlaata

Bada Hua Hai Beta Aapka Boli Rukmini Rani

Haskar Chede Prabhu Ko Par Maa Ki Mamta Pehchaani

Bachpan Bhar Nahi Dekha Maa Ne Toh Ab Prem Lutaaye

Nirmal Prem Maiya Ka Paakar Prabhu Ko Anand Aaye

Bade Bhai Balram Hai Kehte Baat Meri Sun Maai

Saara Pyaar Kanhaiya Ko Deti Mere Liye Kya Bachaai

Haath Mein Haath Liye Beton Ka Nainan Neer Bhare

Pyar Mein Tab Vasudev Pita Balram Se Kehne Lage

Hum Dono Chahe Jitna Bhi Mamta Prem Lutaayen

Woh Vastu Toh Aisi Hai Kabhi Kam Na Hone Paayen

Devaki Boli Sach Hai Beta Baat Jo Kehte Baba

Waise Bhi Hirday Mein Hamare Prem Pada Hai Zyaada

Tum Dono Ke Aane Se Pehle Bichhad Gaye Tere Bhai

Unke Bhagya Ki Mamta Bhi Tum Dono Par Barsaai

Devaki Aur Vasudev Ki Ankhiyan Ashru Se Bhar Aaye

Guzara Kal Itna Dukhdaai Ab Tak Yaad Rulaaye

Kanha Ke Avtaar Samay Woh Base The Karagaar

Ankhiyan Aage Aankh Ke Taare Kans Ne Daale Maar

Bal Samay Shri Krishna Kanhaai Bhi Rehte The Dur

Putra Viyog Ke Dukh Mein Bichaare Maat Pita Majboor

Bhakton Ke Aasoon Kabhi Sahe Nahi Sakte Hai Bhagwan

Karuna Mein Rachte Hai Kaisi Leela Karuna Nidhaan

Ab Mat Rona Maiya Baba, Pal Mein Vaapas Aata Hoon

Jaise Guru Ke Khaatir Kinha, Baalak Aapke Laata Hoon

Tat Kshan Hi Paatal Chale Balram Aur Krishna Kanhaai

Raja Bali Se Bhet Huyi Aur Saari Katha Sunaai

Vaastav Mein Yeh Chhe Hai Devta Muni Ke Shraap Ke Maare

Unko Mukti Dilaani Thi Maa Devaki Ke Sahaare

Janam Samay Jo Doodh Piya Toh Hua Woh Mahaprashad

Us Hi Ke Dwaara Milegi Mukti Mere Bhaiyon Ko Aaj

Bali Raaj Phir Un Sabko Hai Baalak Roop Mein Laate

Maat Pita Se Aathon Bhai Saath Mein Milne Jaate

Madhur Milan Ye Bhaya Bada, Sabki Aankhon Mein Paani,

Dheere Se Phir Bhagavan Se Yeh Pooche Rukmini Rani

Yeh Toh Hai Tere Pyaare Prabhu Phir Dinhe Dukhde Kaahe

Sabse Pyaare Bhakt Mere Hai Tabhi Toh Dukh Seh Paaye

Maine Har Dukh Mein Saath Diya Aur Di Sehne Ki Shakti

Inko Dekh Ke Seekhega Jag Kya Hoti Hai Bhakti

Sachhe Bhakt Mere Hai Aise

Devaki Aur Vasudev Ke Jaise

Dukh Sehkar Vishwaas Na Haare

Tabhi Toh Pragate Unke Dwaare

Devaki Aur Vasudev Sam, Bhakti Ke Adarsh

Bhagvat Mahapuran Mein Hi Dete Hai Darsh

Sukh Mein Dukh Mein Karte Rahe, Tera Hi Gungaan

Humko Bhi Prabhu Dedo Aisi Bhakti Ka Vardaan

Maat Pita Phir Gad Gad Hokar Prabhu Ke Charan Gire

Rokar Unka Dhanyavaad Woh Dono Karne Lage

Jagadpita Khud Beta Bankar Paas Hamare Aaye

Yehi Nahi, Jeevan Ke Sab Dukh Sukh Mein Badal Kar Laaye

Aisi Bhent Wohi De Sakta Jo Hai Jeevan Data

Tum Ho Laal Hamare Kanha Yaan Ho Hamre Maat Pita

Prem Kare Jinse Govinda Gopala Madhusudhan

Unke Bhaagya Mein Hi Hoti Aisi Meethi Uljhan

Kanha Ne Tab Unhe Uthaaya Kiya Bada Sanmaan

Charan Nahin, Hirday Mein Mere Aap Dono Ka Sthaan

Chaahe Mujhe Tum Beta Kaho Chaahe Kehdo Bhagwaan

Main Tera Aur Tum Ho Mere Param Satya Yehi Jaan

Shri Krishna Ki Aisi Hai Leela

Bhakton Ka Jeevan Banaate Rangeela

Kaatke Moh Maya Ke Bandhan

Khud Se Unko Jodte Mohan

Unke Naam Se Naam Milaakar

Kehlaate Hai Devakinandan

Jai Ho Teri Devakinandan

Jai Ho Teri Devakinandan
