Last week I got a chance to visit naimisharnya, Lucknow a teerath yatra . I went there with my family and some more devotees. There I got a chance to hear shreemad bhagvat mahapuran for the first time . What a Holly place it was. I asked few pandits out there that why this granth was called mahapuran. The inner curiosity in me lit a fire of learning the importance of this granth. It's very important to know the importance of the thing before actually learning it. The pandit smiled and said, dear girl you will get all your answers once the guru starts his lecture.
He then said that this granth has been read several times by the guru hence in the upcoming seven days he will give you the brief description about it. I had many questions in my mind ,the first one was that what is the importance of reading and understanding these granth and secondly me being a 20 year old ,is it my age to learn holy things? And many more.
There we got a message that our very first lecture will begin at 2:00pm sharp. With lots of excitement and eagerness to get answers of my questions I reached the bhagvat haul before time. Sometimes you fail in your life ,that failure can be any , failure in studies, in business, marriage, parenting, any what not. All these failures together bring lots of disappointment, self guilt, , jealousy, rage, self doubt etc. When you go through these pains it remind you to God. That's why saint Tulsidas once said:
● Thanks to all the pains which keeps on reminding me your name . Dear God every pain brings me one step closer to you.
I was also going through tough times. That was one of the reason which let me believe much stronger in God's power . Finally a tall, muscular man in bhagva vastra ,some beats rolled around the neck, a different type of glow on his face entered the hall. His presence made the environment peaceful and that's when I realized he was our guru for next 7 days.
He took is place .In sanskrit we call that place as vyas Peath. He chanted some mantras and then began with his very first lecture. He told us that we were so lucky who came so long to hear shreemad bhagvat mahapuran. With all the fortunes of our past and present karma's it become possible to hear this Puran. With time I got all the answers of my sorrow ❤heart.
Here are few things that me as a youngster got to know after all the teachings and I think it would be beneficial to each one of us if we implement it in our daily life.
■ Habit of hearing . In today's generation we all are filled with so many stuff that we have now a days started telling more than that of listening. A good speaker is always a good listener.
○ who so ever you will start listening ,you will become like that person only.so listen to someone to whom you want to be like.
● Its not the people which make you feel low, it's you who think so much about what other's might be thinking. So stop thinking much and even while thinking ,think just about yourself.
●That person is more than God who can teach you something. So always look after your teacher's. Great are those personalities who can add values to your life.
● Whenever you climb a mountain you slightly bend your body downward to move upside similarly if you want to reach up heights in this world ,slightly bow your head and believe me you will be unstoppable.
● Before judging people and making perceptions in your mind about them just remember that you and the every creature on this planet has been made by almighty God. Finding differences in each other means you are directly judging God's creation.
● People says that old age is the right time for offering prayers to God. But dear child always remember that every now and then if you are able to do all your work and Meet your requirements,then you are Blessed by his grace .how will you able to surve people when your own body want be able to move , how will you chant mantras when your inner self would feel ill . Every age is the right age of remembering God and thanking him for everything.
Here I shared some of the learning that I understood .hope you will like it. Always remember before changing others “change yourself ”
