NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 23 - THE STORY OF DAKSHA AND CHITRAKETU

Dasakam 23 - The Story of Daksha and Chitraketu

Another Daksha apart from Prachetas son was deeply devoted to Lord and pleased with his devotion Lord appeared before him and granted him Asikini as his bride and fulfilled his wish to create species. 

Eleven thousand sons born to him took to path of salvation with Sage Narada's advice instead of continuing with the job of creation. Angry with Sage Narada, Daksha cursed him that he will never have a permanent place to stay, which Sage treated as a blessing. 

Daksha then multiplied mankind through his sixty daughters, Vishwaroopa one of his daughter's son helped Indra win Battle over asuras, by teaching him Narayana kavacha, prayer addressed to Lord seeking protection. 

Chitraketu, King of Surasena, got a son with the blessing of Sage Angirasa through his first wife which was killed by one of his other wives by sheer jelousy. Grief struck, King lost self-control, dwelling in maya and agony. 

Sage Narada and Angirasa took the soul of his lost son to the king, which asked him ''whose son am I? . In which birth of mine, were you my father? Due to karma, I attained different parents in different Janmas". The questions asked by soul removed delusion in chitraketu's mind. Then he worshipped Lord and got the Lordship of Vidyadharas. He was blessed with knowledge about Lord when he got his vision in Adhisesha form. 

Chitraketu wandered happily in all the worlds singing in praise of Lord and went to Mount Kailas. He saw Lord Shiva seated in assembly of sages and Goddess Uma seated on his lap. He mocked at Goddess Uma,  who in turn cursed him to be born as asura. 

Chitraketu was born as Vritthasura and even though he was an asura and fought with Indra, he imparted the knowledge about Lord to him and removed delusion of his enemy too and so was blessed to reach Vaikunta.

Diti, mother of Asuras, worshipped Lord for an year so that she be blessed with a son to kill Indra. She got sons called Maruts who only became friends with Indra. Having worshipped Lord for a long time, Diti though she wished evil for Indra, ended up getting sons who stayed united with Indra. 

That is the power of worship whether done with good or undesirable intention, says Bhattathiri and requested that he may be protected in a similar way.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 22 - STORY OF AJAMILA

Dasakam - 22 - Story of Ajamila

Ajamila, a virtuous Brahmin, leading a grihastashrama went to forest on his father's command. Falling prey to a drunken woman, he left his old parents and good dutiful wife to lead a sinful life together with her. 

Ajamila had named his last son as Narayana, Lord's Naama, due to his previous sath-karmas and was attached to this son. At his old age, when death approached Ajamila, he saw three messengers of Yama with frightful appearance. Scared by the looks of the messengers and due to past devotion to Lord, he called out to his youngest Son, ''Narayana!. From nowhere appeared four beautiful Young man wearing yellow robes with divine looks like the Lord, who prevented the yama dhuthaas from dragging Ajamila. 

The messengers of Yama, questioned the divine young men for their prevention of their duty. Beautiful men of Lord agreed that Ajamila had committed a sinful life but at his death bed, even if he had called his son ''Narayana'' out of fear, still the mention of name alone is sufficient to absolve him of all sins committed by him in his various births. 

Hearing the Lord's name, the messengers of Yama left Ajamila, who then woke up from sleep as if it was all a dream. He repented for his sinful life and spent his last few days meditating on Lord. Finally he reached Lord's abode with the help of the same four divine young men who saved him from yama dhuthaas.

Hearing the account from his messengers, Yama instructed them strictly to spare the devotees of Lord. Bhattadari moved with Lord's mercy, requested that he be protected in a similar way.

PS: Ajamilan means someone who is caught in attachment or maaya. Even such person, if he does bhagawath bhajanam, knowingly or unknowingly, he attains sathgathi. This is the highlight of the story of Ajamila.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 20 - THE STORY OF NABHI AND AVATHAR OF RISHABADEVA

Dasakam-20-The Story of Nabhi & 

Avathar of Rishabhadeva

Swambhuvo Manu's elder son was King Priyavrata. Priyavrata's elder son was Aagnidhara. He ruled the Jambudweepa had a son called Nabhi. King Nabhi was not having children for a long time. Therefore, he performed a yagna together with his wife Meru Devi. Lord appeared in the sacrificial fire and granted a boon that Lord himself will be born as child to the couple. 

At appropriate time, King Nabhi handed over the administration to Rishabadeva and left to forest with his queen to perform penance and merged with Lord.

King Rishaba ruled the world with prosperity so much so that Indra became jealous and stopped rain for the continent but with Rishaba's yogic power, rain was brought back. Winning over Indra, Rishaba took the hand of his daughter Jayanthi and they had one hundred sons, eldest of them was Bharatha.

Among hundred, Bharatha became the next king of Bharathavarsha. Nine of the other sons became yogis; another nine ruled over various other regions, remaining eighty one became Brahmins by the power of their spiritual actions. Rishaba advised all his sons and other yogis, the path of salvation through renouncing desires and indulging in deep devotion to Lord. 

Rishaba moved to forest and indulged himself in severe penances leading a life of total renunciate. He wandered all through the earth, observing the life of python, cow, deer, crow, advising spiritual values to people and devotion to supreme Lord as means of salvation. Finally Rishaba Deva merged with Lord, by giving his body to a forest fire in the Coorg mountains, thus completing his spiritual journey in Earth.

Reciting the story of Nabhi and Lord's avatara as Rishabadeva, Bhattadiri requests Lord to remove all his sufferings and cure him of his ailments.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 19 - THE PRACHETAS AND BIRTH OF DAKSHA

Dasakam - 19 - The Prachetas and Birth of Daksha

Prithu's great grandson, Praacheenbarhis was noble and just and was involved in task of creation. He was married to Sathadruti, who gave birth to ten noble sons collectively called as Prachetas. As per their father's advice, they indulged themselves in Lord's worship and went to the western ocean to do penance and reached a beautiful lake.

Lord Shiva came to the lake shore to meet Prachetas and taught Rudrageetha which is sung in praise of Lord Narayana. Singing this hymn, the ten sons did penance in water for ten thousand years. Their deep penance on Lord, purified their father, who had slained several animals in the name of sacrifice and even their ancestor Venan who destroyed yagnas. Sage Narada went and met Praacheenabarhis and gave knowledge about athman by which he merged with the Lord. 

Pleased with the deep penance for many years, Lord by virtue of his compassion, appeared before Prachetas in Garuda vahana with eight arms, holding conch, discus and other divine weapons and with his limitless mercy, granted boons. They were blessed with the daughter of the trees as wife and led a happy life of ten thousand years. They were blessed with a son Daksha. 

Prachetas did several penances and following advice of divine sage Narada, attained salvation in Lord's abode.

Bhattathiri requests Lord who shows boundless mercy to his devotees, to protect him and cure him of his ailments.

-NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 18 - STORY OF VENAN AND INCARNATION OF PRITHU

Dasakam - 18 - Story of Venan and Incarnation of Prithu

In the dynasty of Dhruva, came the King Anga who was married to Suneethai. Venan was their son, but unlike his father, he was very wicked and cruel. He gave lot of troubles to the people of the kingdom and declared that Lord does not exist. He considered himself as the supreme power in the universe. Dejected by venan's actions, King Anga left to forest to perform penance and attained mukthi. 

Venan neglected the kingdom and welfare of the people, destroyed sacrificial rites and yagnas conducted by Sages and this infuriated them. The flame which rose from the sages Kundalini burnt Venan down. 

Fearing that the absence of a ruler would lead to the tyranny of wicked people, Sages took the body of Venan from his mother who was preserving it for a long time and churned the thighs of his body.  Thus his body became sinless. 

Then when his arms were churned, from there Lord appeared in the form of Prithu. Due to the misdoings of Venan like stopping of Sacrifices by him, Earth retracted and hid all its resources. King Prithu attacked Earth with his bow and arrow asking her to yield back resources.

Mother Earth obliged to yield back and made the earth green and prosperous as before. King Prithu did aswamedha yagnas and when he was to complete the 100th, Lord Indra feeling jealous, came in disguise and stole the horse. King Prithu's son went and defeated Indra and brought back the horse. 

Indra repeatedly tried to abduct the yagna horse, when King Prithu went to fight with Indra. Brahma intervened and requested Indra to be spared. Once the yagna was completed, Lord manifested in Vishnu Form and wanted to grant boon to the King. King Prithu asked for only one boon of being devoted to Lord as always.

Settled in the banks of Ganga, one day when Prithu was explaining about dharma to sages assembled there, Sanaka with divine sages appeared there and advised King Prithu to go to forest and do penance. King Prithu following their advice, attained salvation and merged with the Lord. 

Bhattathiri requested Lord, who came in avatar of King Prithu to restore resources on the earth destroyed by Venan, to remove his afflictions. Lord acknowledged his request immediately by nodding his head.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 17 - DHURUVA CHARITHRAM

Dasakam - 17 - Dhuruva Charithram

Swayambhu Manu's Son Uttanapada had two wives, Suneethi and Suruchi. Suruchi was extremely dear to the King Uttanapada that he neglected his other wife Suneethi. Overwhelmed by grief, Suneethi surrendered at the feet of Lord. 

One day Dhruva, Suneethi's five year old son wished to sit on his father's lap after seeing his step brother Uttama seated. Suruchi scolded Dhruva harshly and pushed him away due to her jealousy which arises out of her lack of devotion for Lord. King was a mute spectator to this incident. Suneethi consoled her son and advised Dhruva to take refuge at Lord's feet. 

Dhruva left to forest and met Sage Narada on his way. Sage Narada gave Dwadashakshara Mantram and taught him how to perform devotion, how the Lord will look like. He reached Madhuvanam and  performed penance for five months.

Pleased with the child's rigorous penance at tender age, Lord appeared before him, seated on Garuda. Soaked in bliss, Dhuruva was speechless, Lord touched the cheek of the boy with his conch.  Dhuruva sang the glory of the God, enlightened with the knowledge gained from the Lord and was  granted the boon of attaining the highest abode, the Dhruvapadam after successful reign over the kingdom with peace and prosperity. 

Dhruva returned to the Kingdom and ruled it peacefully with prosperity, after his father retired to the forest. Later, Uttama was killed by Yaksha and feeling enraged Dhruva raised a war against Yakshas, but with Swayambhu Manu's advice, he dropped the war. Yaksha king Kubera, pleased with his action, wanted to grant a boon, still Dhruva only wanted the boon of permanent devotion to Lord. 

At the most appropriate time, Dhruva along with his mother, was taken to Dhruvalokha by lord's attendants and is living there, ever, happily by Lord's mercy.

Bhattathiri pleased at Lord's kindness to protect his devotees, requested him to cure his ailments. Lord acknowledged his request immediately.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 16 - INCARNATION OF NARA AND NARAYANA

Dasakam - 16 - Incarnation of Nara & Narayana

One of the daughters of Swayambhuva Manu was Devahuti, mother of Kapila. Yet another daughter of Swayambhu Manu was Prasuti. She was married to the son of Brahma, Daksha Prajapathi. 

Daksha and Prasuti had 16 daughters. Out of these 16, thirteen were married to Dharma Deva. Swadhaa was married to Pitrus; Swaaha to Agni and another named Sati was married to Siva. 

Out of the thirteen married to Dharmadeva, one was Murthy by name. She gave birth to the divine twins - NARA and NARAYANA. These twin brothers were the forms of the Lord and they were always together.

The secret of the birth of the twin brothers, who were for all purposes considered as 'one’, even though possessing two bodies was to kill Karna or popularly known as Sahasra Kavacha, born protected by a thousand coats of armor (Kavacha). No one could break them without performing thousand years of penance and at the same time fighting with him simultaneously for the same thousand years. This explains the secret of the birth of Nara and Narayana.

Nara and Narayana did penance for thousand years and fought with Asura for another thousand years and finally killed the Asura-Sahasra Kavacha.

After slaying of Sahasra Kavacha, Nara and Narayana went to Badarika Ashrama to settle down for teaching and practicing the path to "MOKSHA". Indra could not stand this and wanted to see their spiritual downfall. He sent Manmatha and celestial women to distract them but to in vain. With their will, they not only withstood the distraction but also presented them a gift to Indra,"URVASI", whose beauty put to shame the beauty of all the celestial damsels. The pride of Indra was thus removed forever by the Divine Twins.

Daksha was arrogant due to his dominating rajo guna, developed hatred for Lord Shiva, and went to the extent of insulting his daughter Sati in the due course. Lord Shiva, angry at the insult of his wife, destroyed Daksha's sacrifice, cut Daksha's head. Lord Shiva restored Daksha's life again after being requested by other Gods. By the grace of Lord, Daksha completed his sacrifice and attained mental peace. 

Bhattathiri requested Lord Guruvayoorappa who brings peace to devotee's heart to free him from ailments. Lord acknowledged his request immediately.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM 15 - KAPILA GEETHAI

Dasakam 15 - Kapila Geethai

Kardamar left to forest embracing sanyasa ashram when Kapila attained the age of 5. Before leaving, Kardamar, knowing that Kapila is Lord himself, offered salutations to him and requested that he bestow his grace and teach his Mother Devahuti, the greatness and importance of Bhakthi and show her the path to salvation.

Devahuti asked Kapila the reason for rebirth. He replied that the attachment to material benefits and relationships are the reason for people to be born again and again in this world. The human mind must get detached from material objects and devotion to Lord must be their only goal. Serving great people aids in increasing the devotion and such things are possible only in this world. Such devotion only can give Mukthi or salvation.

Kapila explained the twenty-five basic principles governing human existence in this world through the moolaprakruthi tree. Prakriti or Primordial Nature, Mahat-tatva or the great Spirit, Ahankaara namely the " I" sense, the five Tanmaatraas namely sound, smell, touch, form, taste, the five Bhootaas or subtle elements denoted by space,air,fire, water, earth, Antahkarana (mind and its various modes), the ten Indriyaas  which are Organs, five of knowledge-hearing, seeing, touch, taste smell, and five of action-speech,hands,legs,anus,genitals), and Purush (Atman), these are the twenty-five  principles. When one understands the difference and significance of each of this, he/she will be liberated. 

Attraction to Prakruthi or nature will make man get influenced by it, instead if he worships Lord always, he gets to understand the Lord's nature and actions. After having controlled one's senses, if meditated upon the Lord who is decked with divine jewels and weapons seated on Garuda and sing his glory, one can conquer death. 

Earning and acquiring wealth by unfair means, attachment to children and other worldly possessions without devotion to Lord leads to sufferings at hell. The Jeeva on entering the mother's womb remembers the association with Lord until it is born. The minute it falls in to the world, the child forgets the association, suffers through childhood, attains youth and again get infatuated by the materialistic life. 

A righteous person performing poojas to Devathas and Pithrus go to heaven and and attain birth again after enjoying the fruits of his meritorious deeds. Those who perform the same, dedicating the fruits of deeds to Lord himself and expect no result and always stay devoted to Lord will eventually attain salvation.

Following the advice of Kapila, Mother Devahuti was liberated from worldly attachments and attained salvation. Lord Kapila left with group of sanyasis in the North east direction and stays there even now for the good of the people. 

Declaring once again that firm devotion to Lord will alleviate all fears and sufferings, Bhattathiri  requested Lord to cure his afflictions. Lord nodded his head and acknowledged his request immediately.

NARAYANEEYAM DASAKAM - 14 - INCARNATION OF KAPILA

 DASAKAM - 14 - Incarnation of Kapila

After the Lord's Varaha incarnation, Brahma's son, Swayambhu Manu spent his life span peacefully without any trouble, always immersed in deep devotion to Lord. Meanwhile, Prajapati Kardama, born from Brahma's own shadow, worshipped Lord Narayana for ten thousand years, awaiting to take up the work of 'creation' of the species, as instructed by Lord Brahma. 

Lord Narayana appeared before Kardama, seated on the divine Garuda.The Lord blessed him to marry Devahuti, daughter of Manu and said that couple would beget nine daughters.The Lord Himself would thereafter, be born to him as the tenth child with the name, KAPILA. Thereafter, the Lord promised "Moksha" to Kardama.

Advised by Sage Narada, Swamyambhu Manu got his daughter Devahuti married to Kardama. The couple were blessed with nine daughters and Kardama then awaited for Lord to be born to them as Kapila. 

After Kapila was born, Kardama retired to forest to perform penance. Kapila became a great philosopher and taught the essence of his teachings to his own mother, Devahuti.

Bhattathiri requested Lord who came to earth as Kapila to teach mankind, the means for attainment of salvation, to cure him from his illness. Lord nodded his head and acknowledged his request immediately.
