Om Namah Shivaya!
''Why are you looking at me like this today' Swami?''
l see that your beautiful face is sparkling with the love of your...
''...husband & unlike merciful Jagadamba' mother of universe''
''Meaning!- That means' you have remembered those moments...''
...which we spent together after our marriage.
l also drift away from my meditation sometimes by...
...remembering those happy moments.
''Mother Parvati' please end my suffering & pain''
''Please give solace my thirsty heart' Ma Jagadamba''
Suthappa! -Mother!
''You have come to answer my painful call' mother.''
''You are really the embodiment of mercy' mother.''
''Suthapa' why were you calling me with so much restlessness.''
The mind of your devotees is not hidden from you.
Please fulfil my wish to beget a child.
My womanhood is yearning to become a mother.
''For world's welfare' bless me with a son full of glory like...''
''...my husband' mother or else... -Or else what?''
''l will sacrifice my life immediately' mother''
My presence removes all your anxieties. l give you...
''...my blessing that when the time comes' you'll become a mother...''
...of a great Shiv Devotee & one who will do world's welfare
Mother Parvati! Mother is roaming in the sky alone today.
Some bad has happened in Kailash which l also don't know
''Mother' when l have been fortunate to see your ''light''...''
...please also bless me with your presence.
''Salutations' mother-Always be victorious in world's welfare''
''Mother' if you don't mind' may l ask you a question.''
Nothing bad occurred in Kailash and l've no fight with my Lord
Hope you are not planning for some conspiracy in Kailash.
''No' l got disillusioned by seeing you alone in the sky.''
But my illusion was without reason. Show one more mercy
''Tell me!-Are you going to Kailash' or coming from there?''
''Now' l am going to Kailash & U want to know' where l went?''
Yes mother!-Your curiosity level has crossed your personality.
''Mother' l wish to increase it more- Why?''
As this curiosity only makes me fortunate to see virtuous Gods
''So to see the Gods' you keep increasing your curiosity levels.''
''No' mother. This curiosity is only Narad's nature.''
l have no other selfish motives except doing world's welfare.
''Mother' you were going to tell me from where you were coming.''
l have just removed the pain of Sage Mrikandu's wife Suthappa
''But' for the first time' l'm not happy with the boon l've given''
''What are you saying' mother? -Only the truth' Narad.''
''Shiv Devotee' Sage Mrikand is following an ascetic's ways...''
''...and worshipping Lord Shiv always' but his wife wants to...''
...become a mother.-Can't the sage's wife wait with patience...
''...till Sage's penance is fulfilled' mother.''
''Her patience has already crossed the limits' Narad.''
A woman's wish to be a mother can't be bound by any limits.
''Meaning!- Without Lord Shiv's mercy' the boon l have given...''
...to Suthappa will not get fulfilled at all. Till Lord Shiv...
''...instructs Sage Mrikand' this boon won't become true.''
Lord Shiv is all-knowing. He must be surely listening to us
''Let this only happen by Lord Shiv's mercy' Narad''
''Open your eyes' great devotee Mrikandu''
''Bholenath' you are the ocean of mercy. By blessing me with...''
...your presence your have made my penance & my life successful
''My body and soul are grateful to you' my Lord.''
''Due to your true devotion' you and your wife will get Shivlok.''
''But... -But what' Bholenath!''
Now you have to stop penance and listen to your wife's wish.
''Are you telling me to break my bachelorhood' Lord?''
Penance is meant for welfare of the world. But your worship...
...has become the cause of your wife's sorrow.
This type of penance has no value in my sight.
''Lord' l don't understand clearly. -lf you wished for bachelorhood..''
''...& not family life' you should'nt have accepted Suthapa's proposal''
...inspite of any hurdle.-Lord! -You are doing injustice to...
...Devi Suthappa by not fulfilling the duties of a husband which...
...is wrong in my sight. And this can reverse your good fortune...
...to become bad fortune very quickly.
Please fulfil your duties and Devi Suthappa's wish. Bless you!
''Salutations' Parampita' mother! -Narad' l am now worrying...''
...about the question which you have brought here
''l knew that' or U would'nt have stopped your meditation at all.''
Will mother's boon get fulfilled? -Whatever Mother Parvati...
...speaks is a promise and it will be definitely fulfilled.
''Then' will Sage Mrikandu break his oath?''
''Great Shiv devotee Mriandu cannot do otherwise' Narad.''
But...- But what! - The son who will be born to...
...Sage Mrikandu and Suthappa will have a short life.
What!- That son will live only for five years and six days
''This will increase their sorrow' Swami''
''Yes' it is better not to have a son than one who won't live long''
Everyone who takes birth on the earth is bound by the deeds...
...of his previous births and this boy's birth is also linked...
...with Mrikandu's & Suthappa's deeds
But Mrikandu is a great Shiv devotee and l am not able...
...to digest this attack on his back.
''Narad' we are bound by our rules.''
''lf you permit' can l help the Sage in some way.''
''Surely' Narad' but can you fulfil this difficult task''
''By Lord Shiv's wish' the most difficult works can be done''
This son of Urs will put his life at stake to help that sad couple
''Narad' lack of balance in what you speak does'nt suit you.''
''Forgive me' mother. Did l say anything wrong?''
The oath you just took to help the couple is giving us pain
''l don't understand' mother.- lf a son talks about sacrificing his...''
''...life in front of his parents' won't that give them pain.''
''Definitely' mother! Please forgive me- Be successful in Ur mission!''
''Narad' if you can inform Sage Mrikandu about the short...''
''...life span of his son' he will be able to face this future...''
''...tragedy with great strength. -That is right' father.''
''But remember' pregnant Suthappa should never know about this...''
...as this will affect the child in her womb.
''Devarishi Narad' you've come to our Ashram. Our life has...''
''...been blessed.- Sage Mrikandu' Lord Shiv & Ma Parvati's mercy...''
...is spread in your Ashram due to your great devotion.
l am just their servant-To serve them is itself a great fortune
Your arrival is always considered to give welfare and good news.
''Sage' life cannot always bring pleasure-The seriousness in...''
...your ever-smiling face is indicating something else today.
l have come here to convey a very important message of...
...Brahmadev today-lmportant message for me from Brahmadev
That is my good fortune. Please come to our Ashram and...
...make it sacred by accepting our hospitality. Please come.
Brahmadev's order is that this message should not be known...
...to Devi Suthappa at all.
What is this which can be heard only by the husband but not wife
You have to strengthen your heart before hearing this news.
But..-You are an ocean of knowledge & understand this...
''...clearly that in this earth' with the passage of time' there is...''
...definite death after life which is the eternal truth.
Has Brahmadev conveyed this message only to me?
This is incomplete. You need a strong heart to hear everything
Please tell me without hesitation.
''ln this world of death' family life is considered to be the...''
...most difficult as that brings new problems everyday
Please don't revolve around the message. Tell it clearly.
The clear message is so hard that l am not able to find...
...words to say it-l am on oath to listen to the hardest truth.
''Sage' Devi Suthappa's son will be born with a very short...''
...life span of just 5 years and six days
But why this should happen with me that my son is born with...
...such a short life span. What sort of sin have l done?
This is Creator's injustice to me lnjustice to me!
''Sage' you are a scholar and a great Shiv Devotee.''
What is the use blaming the Creator?
''ln this time of difficulty' please pray to revered Lord Shiv.''
What to do? l can't understand this game of Brahmadev.
What will Brahmadev gain by conveying this sad message?
This news has fully destroyed the very joy of birth of a son
Seems that only sorrow is written in Suthappa's destiny
How will she be able to bear this shocking message?
Please remember that Devi Suthappa should never come...
...to know about this message or it will adversely affect the...
...child in her womb -You have'nt answered my previous question.
What is the purpose of Lord Brahma while sending this news?
''Sage' you yourself say that the answer is hidden in the question.''
You might be able to find that inside your question. Bless you!
You seem to have heard Lord Brahma's message through Narad
''Dear' this is not the time to spend crying.''
What else will l do? Creator has forgotten to write...
''...''laughing'' in my fate. By praying to Mother Parvati...''
...we were blessed to beget a child. You also worshipped...
...Lord Shiv for a long time and pleased Him.
''ls this child with a short life span' the fruit of our devotion.''
''Do we get such benefits from prayer' worship and penance?''
''Please answer me' Swami''
''This is not your wife' but a mother who is going to....''
''...give birth to your son' who is asking you. Answer me!''
''lf you don't answer me even now' no mother or father...''
...will pray in future for begetting a son
They will question and blame this grave injustice of the Creator.
Suthappa! We are all bound by the laws of nature.
''By abusing it' we will only get misfortune.''
l am not worried about any other misfortune except this short...
''...life' my son will have. Only one with good fortune will..''
...worry about misfortune. Creator has forgotten to write fortune...
...in my life- Don't lose heart. We have to accept this hard...
...fact and face it bravely in future. We have to give the...
...maximum love to the child who will live a very short life
We have to fulfil every wish of his. This is only Creator's wish.
You accept His wish. l am going to revolt against that.
l won't allow my son to have such a short life.
l was proud of your devotion after Lord Shiv's instructions.
''Don't spoil it now' Devi. -What are you saying' Swami?''
Only the truth. Nobody has been able fight with the Creator...
...till today. Whatever has to happen will happen!
''Then' what should l do' Swami. l have spent my whole...''
...life in this wish for a child. But after getting him also...
''No' Swami' this is impossible and is grave injustice.''
Can't understand what Brahmadev got by sending such a rude news.
Understand the secret behind this news. -Secret indication!
''Yes' l was also hurt like you first. But now' l understand it.''
What is it?- Mother Parvati has given you a boon of a son...
...who will be a great Shiv devotee.
Lord Shiv himself had instructed me to adopt Family life
Brahmadev wanted only me to hear this message but it...
''...reached your ears. -Yes' l heard Devarishi Narad saying it''
''lnspite of that' you could'nt have heard this message without...''
...Lord Brahma's wish. There is some definite message of Lord...
''...in this' who is trying to caution us before time.''
''Have you understood the secret behind this' Swami?''
''No' without Their wish' it is impossible to understand it.''
Let us spend rest of our life worshipping at Lord Shiv's feet.
Bholenath never disappoints His devotees.
Don't delay now. Shall we go? -Where?
''Without wasting time' we should start worshipping Shiv soon.''
''With Shiv's instructions' we see only beauty on the path of truth''
''Satyam' Shivam' Sundaram are all terms related to Lord Shiv''
Who else will know this better than me?
''As l am only ''Omkar'' and l represent Shiv's words''
''By submitting their wish to Lord Shiv' Mrikandu couple gave birth..''
...to a son. lt was natural that he was named Markandeyu
''ln his child play and happiness' five years passed without...''
...realizing the time. Now only six days were left in his life.
Sage Mrikand & Devi Suthappa have got a beautiful gift for...
''...their Shiv devotion' Swami''
''The fruits of devotion are always beautiful' Devi''
Who else will know this better? Through your devotion...
...this ordinary Himalya's daughter Parvati has become Your Shiva.
The devotee's place is higher than that of God.
Who else will respect His devotees more than You?
''That is why you are called ''Bholenath''.''
''Yes' devotees like Bhasmasur are also there in Bholenath's past''
''What is it' Devi? You have not answered my teasing.''
''Swami' happiness always resides in you. But it...''
...is not in your nature to make fun.
This seems to be some indication towards some future event.
You become doubtful whenever Bhasmasur's name is taken.
''No' not at all. Swami' to respect my boon' you instructed Sage...''
...Mrikand to take up family life through which they got a son...
...like Markhandeyu who will go ahead and...
''Devi' Markhandeyu is just 5 years old. His parents are...''
...still pleased with his child play. What is the purpose...
...behind discussing his future now.
''Lord' l have come here at this time with that purpose only.''
''Narad' your presence at this time proves that something bad...''
...is going to happen to Markhandeyu.
''Yes' mother' that innocent beautiful child is going to be...''
...entangled by the laws of Nature.
''Narad' what is the necessity for such a serious discussion on...''
...Markhandeyu who'll face whatever is written in his fate
This is the unchangeable law governing everyone who is...
''...born in this world. Hence' leave this unnecessary worry.''
Tell us some other news
''Swami' at least listen to what Narad is trying to say.''
''No' mother' Lord Shiv is saying rightly. When the purpose is...''
''...lost' there is no point in discussing about anything''
Now permit me to leave.
''Father' my mind becomes happy listening to Lord Shiv's name''
''Markhandeyu' Shiv means auspicion who will only...''
...bring auspicion and He is the basis of this earth
''Shivji!- Yes' this world is running only due to his mercy...''
...and wish -Please tell me about Lord Shiv. l am very happy...
...to listen about Him.
''By worshipping Shiv' a devotee hands over his difficulties to Him''
Lord Shiv always takes the responsibility of protecting them.
How does Lord Shiv look? -He looks very beautiful...
...miraculous and very different from everything.
''He adorns the moon on his hair' has snakes around his neck...''
...and wears only tiger-skin always. He always has...
...Trishul in His hands and His face is very divine & bright.
''Bright like the Yagna fire! -No' His face always looks...''
...as if thousands of Suns are showing their light.
''lf l worship Lord Shiv' will he be pleased with me.''
Lord Shiv is an ocean of mercy and compassionate
He is always there for his devotees.
One who worships Lord Shiv is always happy.
Shiv is not pleased by the ways we worship but with the...
''...surrendering feelings in us. So the world calls Him ''Bholenath''
''Father' l will please Lord Shiv with my worship. Permit me!''
There is no need to take orders for worshipping Lord Shiv.
This is the right and duty of everyone who is born.
How do l worship Lord Shiv?
''Keep chanting the ''Panchakshra Mantra ''Om Namah Shivaya.''
Lord Shiv gets easily pleased with devotion.
''What is this play' Mother Parvati?''
l got a son like Markhandeyu with your mercy.
But according to the forecast of Brahmadev...
...today is the last day of his life.
l won't be able to bear his separation.
No problem should befall on my son.
''Before that happens' l will sacrifice my life''
Om Namah Shivaya!
''Son' Markandeyu' where are you going in this midnight?''
Om Namah Shivaya
Are'nt you scared of the wild animals in this forest?
Om Namah Shivaya
''Son' do you know about your short life?''
Have you left your ashram and your parents in this fear only?
''Who are you' grandpa and how do you know about my life?''
l had only told about this to your father Sage Mrikandu.
l had come here today also with this purpose
l know about my short life span ls this the purpose of your visit
''No' l had come to tell you that worshipping Lord Shiv...''
...with dedication will remove the greatest difficulties in life
l know this very well. l am going now to worship Lord Shiv
But you don't seem to know this truth- What are you saying?
''l am telling the truth -Tell clearly' son''
''lf you knew this truth' U would not have asked me whether...''
...l don't get scared by the wild animals in this jungle
''This was a natural question -No' one who worships Lord...''
...Shiv is not scared not only of wild animals but also death.
''You are great' son. The knowledge given to you by...''
''...your father Sage Mrikandu is very good. l lost to you' son''
''l want to help you' son -l don't need help but need...''
...your sympathy. l don't know who you are? But if you...
''...care even a little for me' don't tell anything about me to my...''
...parents. Salutations! Om Namah Shivaya
Your devotion towards your parents and Lord Shiv is great
Now your struggle against death will be very interesting
''Bholenath' there is no one more miraculous than you in this world''
''Do some miracle' which will bring new light into the life...''
...of Markhandeyu tomorrow morning.
''Hail Yamdev!- Chitragupt' whose life has to be taken today''
This message is very cruel -Very Cruel!
The last moments of great Shiv Devotee Mrikandu's son...
''...Markhandeyu has come' king''
Death is an eternal truth in the life of beings. That is why...
...it is called death-world and l am the Yamraj
Yam means rule. To follow the rule that is to take the lives.
lt is our duty to take one's life and emotions have no place here
''l know that' king. You arrange for bringing Markhandeyu's life''
Yamduths (Messengers of death) -Hail Yamraj
Go and without delay bring the life of Markhandeyu to Yamlok
Markhandey... Where has he gone?
''Get up' Swami! Markhandeya has gone somewhere.''
''Search and bring him here' or l will cry & sacrifice my life''
Go and search him.
Son Markhandey... Where are you?
''Lord Shiv' where has my son gone?''
Son Markhandey...
Om Namah Shivaya
''That is the boy' Markhandey...''
His lifetime is over Let us go and take his life
But he is worshipping Lord Shiv at this time.
''Friend' Shiv worship can't turn us away from our duties.''
Throw the rope of death.
''Mother Parvati' please protect my son.''
''The life of my son' Markhandey born through your blessings...''
''...is in difficulty' mother. Please protect my son.''
Please bring welfare to him.
''You protect your blessings' Mother of the Universe''
''Mother Parvati' Please protect my son.''
Goddess of Mercy Please protect my son.
''Be assured' Suthappa l am coming to you''
''Please permit me to leave' -Are you going near Suthappa?''
''Yes' Swami. Only a mother can understand the sorrow of...''
...mother. Motherly feelings are the most essential for a woman.
''lf this is affected' a woman's life gets immersed in sorrow.''
This feeling of mercy and love found in a mother's heart...
''...in this world comes through you' Devi. ''
Hence the world calls you as Jagadamba.
''ln this talk' Markhandey's life should'nt be in distress.''
''Please permit me to leave. -No' Devi' no work will...''
...be achieved by going there. lt won't be right for you to go
The sorrow of a mother can't be tolerated.
l have to go and give her some assurance or else...
''Or else what' Devi? -Or else' that sacred woman...''
...Suthappa should not get hurt by her motherly feelings and...
...curse the very laws of nature -Nothing of that sort will...
...happen. Only what is written in destiny will happen.
What should l do in this situation? l am only very...
...worried about Suthappa's sorrow.
Leave the worry Markhandey and the...
...Markendu couple to me
''Please show us mercy. Protect us' Yamraj''
What happened? You had gone to take the life of Markhandey
l am scared of even the name of that miraculous boy Markhandey
Don't blabber. Tell clearly
As soon as our friend threw the rope of death on Markhandey...
...a miraculous light came in the Shivling he was worshipping...
...and the rope came back and attacked our friend back
Our friend is still lying unconscious there.
l can't believe your words. This has never happened before...
...that the messenger of death returned empty handed.
''This is 100% true' king -Your defeat has blemished...''
...the tradition of Yamlok. l am very worried about that.
''Now' l will myself go to take the life of that magical boy.''
''You... -Yes' l will go.''
''lf there is interference in the laws of nature' there will...''
...be restlessness in all the three worlds.
Even a delay of a moment in taking the life of a being...
...can bring imbalance in this world.
l will myself go.
''Parampita' accept your son's salutations.''
''What news have you got' Narad?''
''Not news' but today' l have brought a request.''
''Then tell me' son''
Please end the misfortune of short life-span in the life...
...of Markhandey and bless him with long life. - No
l can't do this myself.
But why this cruel atrocity on that innocent boy?
''This is not atrocity. -Yes' it is.''
That boy is very scholarly and very vigorous
''After seeing him' l saw great signs of world's welfare in him''
But that is not within the laws of nature.
''Considering world's welfare' can't these rules be changed?''
''No' Narad! lf creator himself interferes in his laws' there...''
...will be distress in this world. -But world's welfare is also...
''Narad' these rules and laws of nature are more important than...''
...the world welfare. As any problem in the laws of nature...
...can put this whole world into distress.- Father...
''Narad' you are a great scholar and nothing is hidden from you.''
Markhandey's short life span is due to the deeds in his previous..
...birth and the unwillingness of his father to beget a son.
So his parents have to bear the sorrow of son's separation
ls there no way to save Markhandey's life?
''l won't say like that' Narad. ln this world created by...''
''...Lord Shiv' everything happens according to His wish.''
This world runs according to Lord Shiv's wishes.
''No' Lord Shiv has himself created this way to the end...''
...of this boy's life- What! You have definitely misunderstood.
No doubts on that. Lord Shiv himself refused to discuss...
...about Markhandey's life with me and said his fate has...
...already been decided and told me not to discuss unnecessarily
''Narad' like Shiv is endless' his plays are also endless''
To understand that is not in everyone's capability.
''What should l do' then. l feel it is my responsibility...''
...to save Markhandey under any circumstances.
Then worship Lord Shiv. Some world welfare will be...
...hidden behind whatever He does.
Om Namah Shivaya
''Lord Shiv' l am a small boy and don't know any great chantings...''
...to please you. Please listen to my call and bless me with ...
''...your presence' Lord''
What is life and death... l don't have this knowledge.
What is life and death... l don't have this knowledge.
''l only want to see you' Lord Bholenath''
''Son' Markhandey...''
''Son' Markhandey... Where are you?''
''Please have mercy' Bholenath''
My duty is to call you and my religion is Shiv Devotion.
The name of duty and religion is only Shiv
Shiv only does and the reason is also Shiv
Time also goes with one who has Lord Shiv with him
What is life and death... l don't have this knowledge.
''Son' Markhandey... Where are you?''
The fear of death troubles one whose life is dear to him.
The worry of death leaves one who thinks about Lord Shiv.
One who has Lord Shiv's blessings gets all the...
...good fortunes of life
What is life and death... l don't have this knowledge.
Please have mercy and bless me with your presence.
Where there is end or beginning...
''...please bless me with such a life' Lord''
''Give me such a life' Lord''
''Please accept this request of this small boy' Lord''
What is life and death... l don't have this knowledge.
''l know only this much that l wish to see you' Bholenath''
''Wicked boy' Markhandey' you do illusion on the rope of death...''
...now protect yourself from my attack.
Yamraj!- Lord Bholenath!
How did you dare to attack a devotee dedicated in worship?
This boy had embraced a Shivling and come under my surrender...
...and it is my duty to protect him.
''Don't you know this truth that you are just ''kal'' (Death)''
''But l am ''Mahakal'' (Total destroyer)''
This boy who reached the extreme limits of Shiv devotion...
...had become undestructible due to my mercy.
''Lord Shiv' l was only performing the unbreakable law of death.''
''According to laws of nature' this boy's life is over.''
lf l had not come to take away this boy's life as per the laws...
''...of nature' would you not have punished me for shirking duty.''
Surely. But when your messenger was hurt and...
...your rope also broke due to the flame of Shivlingh...
...why did'nt you realize the power of this boy's devotion?
You are a scholar who runs the cycle of death and birth...
... according to one's deeds.
Don't you know that this creation is just a play of mine?
My unbreakable law is to protect one who worships daily and...
... with great dedication. -l know that Lord!
You also know that the being who surrenders completely to...
...me gives me pleasure and is very dear to me.
Do l have to repeat all this knowledge to you again?
''No' Lord. Have mercy on me & tell me what l should do now?''
''Yamraj' due to the good deeds of Markandey's parents and...''
''...due to his Shiv devotion from birth' this boy's life span is...''
...not short anymore. That curse has finished now.
''But his death at young age is written in his fate' Lord.''
''But it is also written that' when his life span comes to an end...''
''...and you come to take his life' that both of us will come and...''
...not only relieve him from the curse but give him the boon...
...of long life and immortality. -But Chitragupt wrote about...
''...his short span in the books' but forgot to write about...''
...our arrival. That is a unforgivable mistake of his.
What are my orders now? -Go back to Yamlok now...
...and bring everything under control there.
This mistake could have brought imbalance in the world
l hope you will remain careful in future- Forgive me for this act
This will never happen again in future. Salutations Lord & Mother
Salutations great devotee Markhandey.
Salutations Lord Bholenath and Mother Parvati
''Son' in addition to Shiv's mercy you also have my mercy.''
''From this moment' you are also dear to me like Ganesh & Karthik''
l will give lots of love and education to you like them.
Please forgive ignorants like us. We doubted your mercy.
''Due to the fear of son's death' we did'nt surrender to you fully...''
''...in our devotion. -Lord' your mercy is boundless and...''
...like an ocean. You can make the impossible to be possible.
''One who surrenders himself to you with dedication' he can...''
...leave all his worries to you. But we did'nt do like this.
''Please forgive us' Lord.''
To worry for their son is natural for the parents.
We did'nt appear here to remove your worries but due to...
...Markhandey's Shiv devotion. His devotion has also become...
...immortal just like him in this world.
''Son' you have become eligible to receive my special mercy.''
''Mother' l want to place a special request before you -Surely' son!''
Your story of Shaktiswaroopi which ended the wicked Daityas...
...is very likeable to me -Why did you stop? Tell your wish.
''lf l have the blessings of both of you' l want to write the...''
''...stories about the mercy' kindness & miracles of...''
...Mother Shakti as an epic. -Your imagination and the...
''....wish is very beautiful' Markhandeya''
l give you the blessings that you can do this work and...
...also the epic written by you will not only be famous as...
''...Markhandeya Purana' it will also become a source of devotion''
...for devotees of Mother Durga in the generations to come.
''One who chants & reads your epic' Markhandeya Purana will...''
...become eligible for my special mercy & called my prime devotee
''ln addition' chanting of the slokas in that epic will...''
...relieve the sins of even the greatest sinner and grant him...
...the eligibility to come to Shivlok.
''Lord Shiv & Mother Parvati' l will consider your blessings as...''
...your orders and follow them.
''You should succeed in every deed of yours' son''
This praise of Markhandey was the result of Lord Shiv's mercy
''He wrote an epic ''Markhandey Purana'' which was famous ...''
...in the world also as Durgasthuthi.
The cycle of time went on and gave birth to many queries.
Lord Shiv is in Shiv Devotion and Nandi & other Shivgans are there
Mother Parvati comes to offer flowers at Lord Shiv's feet.
But her mind is filled with a curiosity which can be cleared...
...only by Lord Shiv's mercy.
''Devi Parvati' whether you tell me or not' your two beautiful eyes...''
...show that you are restless to ask a question to me.
''Undoubtedly' the question in my mind left me sleepless yesterday.''
''You are curious to learn about that ''Brahmagyan'' to learn...''
...which great hermits and sages do penance for ages.
''But' only very few of them are fortunate to get ''Brahmagyan''
Won't this be some injustice to Shiv's Shiva?-What!
''Yes' swami- You are blaming that Swami who is most proud...''
''...of his ''Ardhanareeshwar'' form. -l also used to get pleased...''
...by thinking that only but that illusion is broken today-Parvati!
''Will you kindly tell me' what is my position in your...''
''...''Ardhanareeshwar'' form?-What sort of question is this?''
The place of Shakti in Shiv is like that of soul in a body
''My ''Ardhanareeshwar'' form gets completed only with you' Devi''
Why did you take that form? -Just to answer your question
To tell the men in the world that a woman is not under a man...
...but she only completes a man. There is a woman in every man...
...and a man in every woman. By doing atrocity on a woman...
...a man is actually doing atrocity towards himself
''That means' you are doing atrocity to yourself at this time.''
''Tell clearly' Shiva- ls Shiv's Shiva less than any Sage?''
''What is this injustice? The man in ''Ardhanareeshwar'' form has...''
''...the Brahmagyan' but the lady... -Your cleverness is praiseworthy''
These examples are good for arguments and for culture.
This is not the answer to my question.
''l will surely grant ''Brahmagyan'' ''to you. But...-But what?''
But for this you will have to gather and centralise your power
''With meditation and penance' when the body becomes calm...''
...and mind is fully concentrated and become anxious to get...
''...Brahmagyan' then only one is ready to get that knowledge.''
''Devi' it looks as if you are in a dilemma' after my answer.''
''That is why' you have not produced any argument before me''
''Mother' may this servant know the reason for your worry?''
''Narad' Devi Parvati is sad without reason today-What?''
''Yes' Devi Parvati wanted to learn ''Brahmagyan'' from me''
''For this' she will have to concentrate on meditation for ...''
''...this. Just by listening to this' she became very sad''
''What a strange coincidence' l had also come to you...''
...with the same request for Brahmagyan today.
''ln this coincidence' along with strangeness' lots of indications...''
''...are also hidden' Narad. -From your words' it seems...''
...you want to remind me about the event which happened many...
''...ages before when l had the false illusion about ''Brahmagyan''
...when you made me monkey-faced and punished me.
''Believe me' Lord. From that time and till now l am restless to...''
''...get ''Brahmagyan. Today only that opportunity has come.''
''Along with mother' grant me that knowledge and bless me''
''l have already shown the way to Parvati to get ''Brahmagyan''
''But you have no rights to get ''Brahmagyan'' from me.''
Have l got no such rights? But why?- Without guru there is...
...no knowledge. When a person wants to acquire knowledge...
''...from someone other than his guru' he not only insults his...''
...teacher but also loses his rights to acquire that knowledge.
You know this truth very well. For acquiring the knowledge...
''...of ''Brahmagyan'' you go to your Guru Brihaspati.''
Why are you getting very pleased by seeing these old writings?
''Yes' Devi. These writings do give me pleasure.''
''But what is written in them? -Before telling that' shall...''
''...l ask you a question' Devi. When is a teacher happy?''
l don't have as much knowledge as you have.
''You are a great scholar' Tara. -l am your disciple as well...''
''...as your wife' Swami and want to learn this answer from you.''
''Devi' a guru is very happy when his disciple gets a much more...''
''...supreme place and respect than him. -Truly said' swami''
When the unsatisfied wishes of a Guru are fulfilled through his...
''...disciple' definitely the Guru will get pleased. - Yes' my disciple...''
...Narad has written these. He has a very supreme place today
''When he wrote these writings' he was just a boy.''
But he has not made any mistakes in grammar at all here.
Only Narad's efforts and your teachings have got him in that...
...position. -Guru's support is the key to his disciple's success.
''ln spite of being Brahma's son' Narad is a model of modesty ''
''Devarishi Narad' you! Gurudev was only remembering you''
Welcome Narad. Please have a seat.
How can a disciple sit before his guru? You have not taught this
''Narad' you were my disciple but now you're respectable Devarishi''
Your presence is considered auspicious and pleasing to all
''Whatever high positions l might get' the credit goes only...''
...to your great teachings. You are always my Guru.
''Today' l have come to request you something as per Lord...''
''...Shiv's order -Tell that' Narad -Gurudev' first you please sit.''
''lf you stand like this' l feel very shy. ''
Now don't delay. l am very anxious to listen to Shiv's order
''Gurudev' Lord Shiv said that l can acquire the knowledge of...''
''...''Brahmagyan'' only from you.''
''Guru' your seriousness shows that l am not eligible to...''
''...acquire that knowledge. -No' Narad. You are very...''
...much eligible. But my dilemma is different - Dilemma !
Now l am myself not eligible to grant that knowledge to you.
''Gurudev' Lord Shiv can't lie. -What Lord Shiv said was true.''
A disciple can acquire knowledge only from his Guru.
''But the ''Brahmagyan'' you want to learn is not known to me yet.''
But what will happen to Narad's request then?
''For that' l have to leave heaven and go to Kashi in earth...''
...and do penance. When Lord Shiv is pleased with me...
''...then he will grant me the knowledge of ''Brahmagyan''.''
''After that' l can give you that knowledge.''
''Do l also have to do penance for acquiring ''Brahmagyan''
''There are only two ways to acquire this great ''Brahmagyan''
Either one of the Tridevs should be happy with you or you...
...should do penance to please one of them.
''There is no other way except that.-Permit me to leave' Guru''
''Shri Hari' what am l seeing in Vaikunth today?''
''By seeing meditation in Vaikunth in your absence' l am very...''
''...surprised' Shri Hari. Please bless me with your presence''
''Please satisfy this curiosity of mine' Shri Hari''
''Narad' your curiosity to learn Brahmagyan will not get...''
...appeased here also. -But why Lord?
''The knowledge of ''Brahmagyan'' ''which we have acquired from...''
''...Lord Shiv' can't be granted to anyone without His wish''
''Then' what should l do in this situation?''
Only what Devguru Brihaspati told you.
''Go to Anand Kashi' and worship Lord Shiv.''
ls there no other way except this?
''By Shiv's wish' lots of other ways may be there.''
''But l can't tell you any other way' Narad''
Are you seeing Mother Laxmi? You were surprised to see...
...her doing meditation and requested to see me.
''But when l am myself surprised' how do l appease your curiosity''
''You know every secret. Then' how can you be surprised.''
But l was surprised and hence vanished from Vaikunthlok
''But why' Lord !- When the Goddess of Wealth & Prosperity..''
''...Devi Lakshmi is anxious to learn ''Brahmagyan''' is this...''
''...not surprising. But her wish will never be fulfilled' Narad.''
''From this meditation' it should not become her stubbornness.''
That is why l vanished from Vaikunth
''Mother' please don't get angry with me. You just try to...''
...please Shri Hari. l can only request this to you.
Your wish to acquire the divine Brahmagyan won't get...
...fulfilled here also like in Kailash and Vaikunth
''But why' Parampita. Why are you disappointing me when you...''
...are my father and a son has complete rights over his...
...father's property and knowledge. This is only just
''Don't talk of justice' Narad -But why' Parampita?''
This whole tradition of justice and the laws of nature have...
''...all been made by you only. -Yes' l only created them''
But Creator God has never accepted the right of knowledge
Do you mean to say that the son has no rights over the...
...property and knowledge of his father - To misuse the rights...
...of property and knowledge got through his father has...
...become the habit of the sons. He tries to make fun of other's...
...knowledge by getting them from his father. Hence one has to...
''...get property' rights and knowledge through his own...''
...efforts has only been accepted in the laws of nature.
''Forgive me for talking about my rights and property' father.''
''But do l have to get disappointed about getting ''Brahmagyan''?''
More important than your curiosity is the fact that...
''...has any wave started in the world for acquiring ''Brahmagyan''
Devi Saraswati is also curious to acquire that knowledge like...
''...Devi Lakshmi. An ordinary man can also get ''Brahmagyan'' but...''
...he has to have the qualities to get that knowledge.
''Qualities! -Yes' qualities which do not come as a heritage or...''
''...property but for which you have to do penance'...''
...take efforts and worship Lord Shiv
''Without Shiv's mercy' one can't acquire ''Brahmagyan''
''lf you are so curious to acquire Brahmagyan' you have to go...''
...to Kashi and do severe penance & worship
''You took all possible efforts by going to Brahmadev' Shri Hari...''
''...and also Guru Brihaspati' but did'nt succeed anywhere.''
''You have to do severe penance' Narad. By your efforts' power...''
''...and worship' you have to acquire the knowledge of...''
''...''Brahmagyan''. Then your knowledge will be praise-worthy''
Which youth is doing such severe meditation in this midnight?
This is Sage Aurav. But why is he so annoyed?
''Have you decided to *** the peace of your teacher' Dromya?''
Have you entered this ashram to destroy your Guru's dedication
''Answer me' Dromya''
You are ignoring your Guru. Where've you learnt this?
''l have already told you that you will not acquire ''Brahmagyan''...''
''... in this Ashram. For that' you will have to go and Kashi...''
...and do worship.
''By ignoring me' you are awakening my anger' Dromya.''
You have sat here compulsorily like a mountain.
Stubborn one!
The consequence of my anger will be very dangerous.
You will be wandering in the darkness of ignorance for...
''...many ages. But you will never acquire ''Brahmagyan''
''Wicked Dromya' on the pretext of penance' you are only...''
...insulting your Guru. l will never allow you to succeed in this.
l curse you that...
...you become a pigeon at this very moment and keep...
...wandering in the dark world of ignorance.
''Keep yearning for the human body to acquire ''Brahmagyan''
Go away
Won't you leave me even now?
''Devarishi Narad' it is my fortune that you have come to this...''
...Ashram and made it sacred.
l had heard a lot about your devotion for Lord Shiv.
But l am very sad to have seen your behaviour
You have given such a cruel curse to your own disciple...
...who was worshipping Lord Shiv.
''Devarishi... -What have you done' Sage?''
Forgive me. Anger had destroyed my brain.
''ln spite of being a big scholar' did'nt you know that anger...''
...does'nt destroy any one else but only the one who is angry.
''My brain is lost' Devarishi Now l will worship Lord Shiv...''
...and do repentance for my sin
Can the sin of one who does it deliberately can be destroyed...
''...by doing penance. -Then what should l do' Devarishi''
My curse can never become false.
''Sage' words out of the mouth and an arrow out of bow...''
''...never come back- There must be some way' Sage''
Please help me.
Now only Lord Shiv can help you in this world.
''Lord Bholenath' please forgive me.''
Om Namah Shivaya
Mother Parvati can't be seen anywhere. Where is she?
Mother...
''Mother' l want to place a request at your feet.''
Please open your eyes
Shri Ganesh here at this time. Am l dreaming now?
''Mother' please stop your deep meditation for sometime.''
l have come to request for something
''Son Ganesh' you are here at this time''
''Mother' as soon as l felt your restlessness' l came here.''
''Yes son' l have been restless for the last few days.''
''Can't l learn ''Brahmagyan'' ''from my better half' Lord Shiv?''
''Hence' l have immersed myself in meditation''
My mind is not stable. l can't believe my own strength now.
''Please guide me' Remover of hurdles' son Ganesh''
''Brahmagyan is present only with Lord of Lords' Shiv''
Let us all pray to Him together to end your restlessness
''Let us go' son''
''Salutations' mother. l am also wandering from place to place...''
''...with a wish to acquire knowledge of ''Brahmagyan''
''You can only end my curiosity' mother.''
You are our revered as well as a devotee of my parents.
''One day' mother will surely fulfil this wish of yours.''
''Narad' keep worshipping Lord Shiv. l will consider your...''
...deep penance and promise you that l will grant you...
...whatever knowledge which l acquire
''Mother' you are an embodiment of mercy and kindness.''
''Come' let us go to Samadhisthal''
''Son Ganesh' l can see the purpose of your visit clearly.''
''Narad' you also searched for the divine ''Brahmagyan''...''
...in many places and have come here in the end.
My wanderings for learning Brahmagyan everywhere and...
...again coming here proves this that you are only the beginning...
...and the end of this Creation.
''Bholenath' my search started at your divine feet here and l...''
...have come back also there. l fully believe that my wish...
...will be fulfilled here.
''Revered Father' for devotees like us' it is a matter of pride that...''
...the sound of our request has reached till You.
Whoever is praying to you with true dedication have the right...
...to the knowledge of Brahmagyan from you.
But only the one who gets your mercy will get that knowledge
l wish to place a humble request before you.
''Narad' l also wish to hear your request.''
''Even if you don't grant me the knowledge of ''Brahmagyan''...''
...l will somehow pacify myself. But l am hurt by the curse...
...given to your great devotee Dromya by his Guru Sage Aurav.
Please show your mercy to him. That is only my request.
Your feelings of world welfare has pleased me
By caring for Sage Dromya by leaving your own wish to...
''...learn ''Bramhagyan''' you have fulfilled your promise to Mother''
Your wish will also get fulfilled surely with my help one day.
''But what will happen to my desire' Swami?''
''This question is also now finished' Devi' as Narad...''
''...will acquire ''Brahmagyan'' ''only through you.''
That was your promise to Narad and to respect that is my duty.
''Swami' l've been greatly blessed to have your as my husband''
l am also blessed to have got Shiva as my wife.
Shiv & Shiva are complementary to each other.
''Even if one is not present' this Creation can't even be imagined.''
''Bholenath' by encouraging me... -Narad' you really don't have...''
...to remind me. Dromya will surely get the fruits of his...
...true Shiv devotion. You all have become eligible to acquire the...
''...knowledge of ''Brahmagyan''. Wait patiently' you all will...''
... definitely get that knowledge.
''Kailash was reverberating with the sound of ''Har Har Mahadev''
Even after getting assurance from Bholenath that Narad...
''...will acquire the knowledge of divine ''Brahmagyan'' through Her..''
...Parvati's worry was not over Her mind was questioning her...
...repeatedly whether her Lord's promise will become true or not.
''On the other side' when Lord wakes up from His meditation at''
''...midnight. Not seeing Parvati' he goes towards Her room''
''Put a stop to your meditation' as l have come' Devi.''
''Swami' you are here at this time. -Yes' Parvati''
''l saw in my ''Samadhi'' that you are meditating on me even...''
''...during your rest time. After my assurance also' your anxiety...''
''...has not left you. Even in meditation' you are thinking...''
''...only about ''Brahmagyan''. -Yes' swami''
You are even hesitant to discuss that matter with me
''Why' is'nt this true?-Every word uttered by you is only truth.''
''Then' don't hesitate. Tell me your wish yourself''
''You know everything-Yes' but l want to hear from your mouth''
''Why this stubbornness' Swami? -No' lt is only my request''
Request!- Now you don't doubt this and tell me.
''While meditating on you' l was just thinking that l will...''
''...acquire ''Brahmagyan'' with my meditation and astonish you.''
My self prestige told me that l am myself the embodiment of...
''...power and for ''Brahmagyan'' ''l need not beg to someone...''
...but have to believe in my own power.
''Devi' this statement of yours shows your pride.''
You can't call it pride but my self prestige
This answer is filled with pride -What do you mean to say?
''lf one has even little pride' he can never acquire ''Brahmagyan''
''You did'nt tell clearly' as to how my words had pride in them.''
''Who am l to you' Devi? -What a strange question?''
''Your answer also lies in this strange question' Parvati''
''Husband' Lord' and the better-half in me''
''Do you know what is better-half' Devi -Definitely ''
''ln my feminine body' the male half is constituted by you''
''That means' you constitute half in me and l do the same -Yes''
Then what is the hesitation in taking something from your...
...own half. Can't your pride be considered as your own enemy?
You and me are one though we have different forms as...
...the relation between a husband and wife goes for many births.
Hence you have natural rights over whatever l have and...
...the question of begging or hesitation does'nt come at all.
''l have realized my rights. But in all these' where did l show...''
...my pride? -Your actions were only showing pride -But how?
Pride makes one realize his powers & makes you...
''...your own enemy. Undoubtedly' Shakti can herself acquire...''
''...the knowledge of ''Brahmagyan'' ''but- But what?''
''ln spite of being Shakti' you have to do severe penance and...''
...meditation. You have to derive your elements of power from me
''That is why your words showed pride. - Forgive me' Swami''
''Just now' you said that my elements of power are your...''
''...reflections- Hence' l have decided today that l will... ''
''...tell you about ''Brahmagyan'' ''and the related story.''
''ls there any story related to ''Brahmagyan''?''
''Yes' only after listening and understanding that story' you...''
''...will be able to understand the importance of ''Brahmagyan''
Please don't delay. My curiosity will be get fulfilled only now
No!- Why not!- Now you will have to tolerate some more delay
But this has never happened after your decision.
Today this will happen as l won't tell you that story here...
...but at a far off lonely place from here where no one else...
''...is present except both of us. -Why this secrecy' swami?''
''lf ''Brahmagyan'' is heard by undeserving beings' the...''
...condition of world can become disastrous.
''Devi' along with ability to hear this' to maintain secrecy of...''
''...this ''Brahmagyan'' is also very important.''
''l will always remember this instruction' Swami''
''Then' let us go' Devi''
Bholenath & Mother Parvati where are you?
''l have searched for both of you everywhere' but could'nt see you.''
Please have mercy on me and give me your presence
''Gaurishankar' please have mercy and bless me with your presence''
Brahma's son Narad is also like a son to us.
''Without making him restless' please give your presence''
''Bholenath' Mother Parvati please show yourselves to me''
''Narad' why are you so restless? This is not the first time that...''
...we have vanished from Kailash.
The reason of my anxiety is the fact that one who has always...
''...been meditating in you has not been able to get ''Brahmagyan''
''l am myself very anxious to acquire ''Brahmagyan''
''Wherever l go' your devotees question me only about that.''
''When l have no knowledge about this' how do l answer or...''
''...satisfy them' Parameshwar.''
The knowledge of divine Brahmagyan is not that...
...easy as is understood by you and my devotees.
But what should be done for that?
''Non-stop Shiv worship' severe penance and meditation can only...''
''...give anyone ''Brahmagyan''. -But all your devotees are...''
''...following these rules only for getting ''Brahmagyan''
But their mind lacks concentration as they are...
''...doing less worship and are more anxious for ''Brahmagyan''
''Narad' you also listen and tell all my devotees that they...''
''...will acquire ''Brahmagyan'' only through my Panchakshari Mantra''
They should all follow the rules laid out by me.
Panchakshari Mantra i.e. Om Namah Shivaya!
We devotees are already chanting this Mantra always.
''Then' why are we not getting ''Brahmagyan''
lt will not be right to ask this question to Lord Bholenath
Now l have to go under the feet of Shri Hari and Brahmadev
''What happened' Devi? Why did you stop chanting?''
''As per your guidance' l have been chanting Lord Shiv's...''
''...chanting ''Om Namah Shivaya'' ''for such a long time to...''
''...acquire ''Brahmagyan''. But there is no benefit' Swami.''
l am disappointed now- Why are you saying these words...
''...like benefit' disappointment' loss' Devi Saraswati''
lt looks as if some businessman is talking and not you.
Chanting of this Mantra is the only way to acquire...
''...''Brahmagyan'' in this world. -Yes mother' Lord Shiv has...''
...himself said that there is no other way except the chanting...
...of this Panchakshari Mantra Om Namah Shivaya.
Lord Shiv has himself sent this message through Narad
''lt looks as if' you have some curiosity also' Narad.''
''My curiosity is that' we all keep chanting Panchakshari Mantra...''
''...always' but why we have not acquired ''Brahmagyan''
''ln spite of being my son born from my mind' and following...''
''...bachelorhood' don't you even know this. ln worship'...''
...severity is not required but total surrender is required.
''Bachelorhood' mind and total surrender...''
There is a wave to acquire Brahmagyan in the whole...
...world at present. But whoever is wishing that is not...
''...attracted to Shiv worship but only to acquire ''Brahmagyan''
''Meaning !-That means' everyone wishing for ''Brahmagyan''...''
...wants to acquire it and become the most supreme in this world.
This wish for supremacy can prove harmful for the future.
But l feel some are praying to Shiv without any selfishness.
lf someone is praying with so much dedication & without...
''...selfish motives' he would have got ''Brahmagyan'' by now.''
''But one doing worship' penance or meditation with a selfish...''
''...wish can never acquire it. -You are telling the truth' Swami''
''l was also very restless & anxious to acquire ''Brahmagyan''
This anxiety should be towards true devotion of Lord Shiv
''lf you are anxious only about the benefits' you won't get anything''
''What should l do' father? -Restless Narad' divine...''
''...''Brahmagyan'' can be acquired only by a person with a...''
...pure mind and having all the good virtues.
You meditate on Lord Shiv who is full of virtues without...
...any wish for benefits with a pure mind & dedication.
''You are true' Parampita. Whoever' l have seen meditating..''
...had a restless mind only like me.
Now my curiosity is appeased. Permit me to leave now.
''Devi Lakshmi' my dear' by chanting ''Om Namah Shivaya''
''...for such a long time' what have you got.''
''lf l had got' it would'nt have been hidden from you''
''l feel' l am not going to get anything from my meditation''
''You can get everything through this meditation' Devi''
Salutations Shri Hari Salutations Mother
''l have learnt about ''Brahmagyan'' ''from Brahmalok. lf you permit'''
''l did a mistake by asking for this permission' all knowing God''
''What is hidden from you in this world? Forgive me' Shri Hari''
''lf you are happy with this servant of yours' show one...''
''...more mercy on me- Knowing your naughty mind' nobody can...''
''...be angry with you' Narad. What do you wish to say?''
''Shri Hari' please tell that secret to Mother Lakshmi also''
''Don't worry' Devi. That secret will not remain a secret now''
''ln what thoughts are you lost' Devi?''
l was thinking about divine Brahmagyan and that every....
...hard working student has a right over every knowledge.
''Why is this ''Brahmagyan'' ''so hard to get?''
''Reason is that ''Brahmagyan'' ''is the zenith of knowledge''
''After learning this' nothing else is left to be learnt.''
Who gets this attains completion & surrenders his elements to me
''While living only' that being feels relieved from life.''
He can feel that Lord himself is residing in his heart.
''Relief from life? -Yes' the way you remove...''
''...your ornaments at night' a Brahmagyani can remove...''
...the soul from himself and still stay alive.
''ls this ''Brahmagyan'' an immortality element?''
''lt is a symbol of the soul as well as immortality' Devi''
You are 'Paratpar Brahma' & you are most supreme amongst all
l can't understand the secret behind your words at all.
Please be kind enough to explain this clearly.
Nature is my identity which is seen and can be touched & felt.
Even the most ordinary man can experience the nature.
''ln simple words' whoever is seen everywhere is only God.''
This is accepted by great scholars too.
''lf that is so' that should be the truth.''
''No' this is just like seeing a beautiful doll made of mud''
''You touch it and see. But to search its soul' you break it.''
What will you find inside then? -Only mud
This is only true. Nature is a earthern pot which has been...
...made beautiful by God through his imagination.
But God's imagination can't become God -Then what is God!
The soul within every being is a part of God only.
That is why to surrender one's soul means union with the God
''After this union' no desire remains. A being's soul attains...''
''...immortality after this. The message of ''Brahmagyan''...''
...is only this. -How can an ordinary man sacrifice his soul?
''Through ''Upasana''- What? -The meaning of ''Upasana''...''
''...is to sit near. That means' sitting near your soul and...''
...recognizing yourself. This is the basic meaning of Vedas.
''One who recognizes his own self is a complete scholar' Devi''
Every being keeps doing Upasana every moment.
''Yes' one can't escape from Upasana in every moment ...''
''...of life - Swami' why can't every being become a complete...''
''...scholar or ''Brahmagyani'' ''-Their ''Upasana'' is just''
...like that beutiful mud doll. When they are eating tasty...
''...food' their mind is attracted to that illusion of taste.''
''And when their ''Upasana'' is near worldly desires' they...''
''...are lost in those worldly attractions. Hence' even after...''
''...a hard ''Upasana'' they get only mud.''
There are many in this world who are only chanting your...
''...name day and night. Then also' they don't acquire ''Brahmagyan''
''Why is it like that' Swami? -l want to answer you with...''
...one event which occurred in the past. Come with me.
Who is this sage who is doing non-stop worship of Shiv in...
...this midnight also? -ln spite of doing Shiv worship...
''...day and night' why one does'nt acquire ''Brahmagyan''?''
''Sage Aurav is the answer to your question' Devi.''
''l did'nt understand anything' Swami''
''Use your divine powers a little' you will understand everything''
''Wicked Dromya' on the pretext of worship' your intention is...''
...to insult your Guru. l won't allow your intentions to succeed
l curse you now that you become a pigeon at this very...
...moment and wander in the darkness of ignorance.
lt is surprising that one who has harmed Sage Dromya who...
''...wished to acquire ''Brahmagyan'' ''is a great Shiv Devotee.''
''My duty tells me that' l am also equally responsible for Dromya's..''
...bad condition as this Sage Aurav.
''lf Lord Shiv only blames himself' then who will remain without...''
...any blame in this world. You are above any mistakes.
Please do not talk like this again.
''To accept the truth will only destroy the pride' Devi''
Swami! -Now you've got the answer to your question that...
...just by worshipping me and chanting Panchakshari Mantra...
''...is not enough to acquire ''Brahmagyan''
But you have to recognize your own self for that.
''By treading the good path' you have to develop Ur good virtues''
''By leaving selfishness' you should also try to do welfare...''
''...and good to the world -Understood' Swami!''
We have to tread the path told by our soul and not the mind
''Yes' Devi. Mind is restless & affected by worldly attractions.''
lt takes the being towards sin. But soul being part of...
''...God' it always keeps you in the true path and..''
...makes one eligible to acquire Brahmagyan
''Swami' when l am with you' l don't realize the passing of time''
The whole night has passed while doing sky-roaming.
The sun-rise in the east has brought the great message...
''...of ''Brahmagyan'' to you today. -Then' will l get that...''
''...knowledge today itself. -Yes Devi' l have decided...''
''...that in these Himgiri mountains' l will grant you that knowledge...''
''...of ''Brahmagyan'' for which' your mind has been so restless...''
...in the past few days
''Great' Swami. By seeing this beautiful spot of nature...''
''...my soul has become happy. -Devi Parvati' for learning...''
''...the secret of ''Brahmagyan''' the cave you are standing in...''
...is more secretive than the greatest secrets of the world
What is the speciality of this beautiful place?
That has not been revealed to anyone before today.
''Apart from me' you have only come to this place and are...''
...going to learn about the secret here.
''l am getting restless to learn that secret' Swami''
That is natural. This cave situated in King of Mountains...
...Himalayas is Amreshwar which has been my secret place...
''...for meditation - What are you saying' Swami?''
''Yes' Devi' except me nobody has been destined to come here.''
''Undoubtedly' l am restless for the past few days to ...''
''...acquire ''Brahmagyan''' but now l am curious to learn about...''
...this lonely place of yours.
''After Creation' when death also became existent along with life...''
...then that death or the end started scaring the Devtas even
The scared Devgans came to my surrender.
''Then' to remove their fear of death' l squeezed the...''
...Moon which is always decorating my hair.
''Astonishing and definitely' Moon which is always on your head...''
...will have nectar which gives immortality.
''By squeezing the moon' the Devgans drank the nectar...''
...and became immortal.
But how is that related to this sacred cave of Amreeshwar
''lt is related' Devi. Some drops of that nectar fell on earth...''
...here from where the river Amravati is also flowing
''That means' the sacred river Amravati begins from here.''
The nectar drops from squeezing the moon which fell on this...
...cave had made certain the immortality of the being...
...who comes here-Does one who reaches here attain immortality?
''Definitely' the water and air here are filled with nectar which...''
...can relieve any being from the cycles of birth and death and...
...make him immortal. -This is a good place for human welfare..
...as the human always tries to attain immortality.
Shall l make one request? -Definitely~
Let us make the path to this cave easy for beings.
''No' Devi. That can completely destroy the balance in Creation.''
lf a bad character succeeds in coming to this cave then...
''...won't he misuse the power of immortality' he gets from here?''
Have you forgotten the story of Bhasmasur who misused my boon
''Never' swami! But will it not be proper for some good devotees...''
...of yours to have the fortune of coming here.
Your words show your motherly love. To respect that wish...
...l will grant the fortune of coming here to some true devotee
How will your devotees reach here? -My instructions will...
...invite them to come till here. -l am grateful to you for...
...respecting my wish and showing mercy on Shiv devotees.
''ln this good moment' grant my another request too''
''Devi Parvati' you have come to this sacred cave for acquiring...''
''...''Brahmagyan''. Hence there is no need to request for that.''
''Why this dance of drums at this time' Swami?''
''Devi Parvati' like the one who comes here will become immortal''
''...in the same way' if someone hears ''Brahmagyan''...''
...he can also create havoc in this Creation.
But what is the use of this beating of drums?
''By hearing this' all the living beings near this cave will...''
...go far away from here.
ls there some life here also? -Surprising that Himalay's...
...daughter Parvati is asking me this question.
''Devi' where all the wish to live takes beings will surprise you...''
...greatly. - l am surprised by seeing this cave only.
''ln this astonishing sacred cave only' l will teach you the...''
...immortal knowledge of Brahmagyan.
This cave will be called Amarnath Dham in future
Hail Amarnath Dham. -Today is the full moon day of my...
''...dear month ''Shravan''. Any devotee of mine who gets...''
...instructions from me and comes here on this day and...
''...sees my Shivling' he will get immortality as well as...''
...the divine knowledge which l am going to give you now.
''That means' on every full moon day of ''Shravan'' month...''
...your image of Shivling will be present here in full form.
''Yes' from today' every year' after moon comes out' my...''
''...image ''Him Shivling'' will be seen and when Moon disappears...''
''...on Amavasya day' it will combine with me again.''
''Devi' let us sit on that seat.''
Om Namah Shivaya
''The story of ''Brahmagyan'' ''is very secretive & difficult''
''l will grant this knowledge to you in the state of ''Samadhi''
lt will be very interesting for me to tell you & for you to hear it
''And you should say ''Hum'' while listening to me which will...''
...make me aware that you are listening to this Brahma story...
...with great attention. -As you order!
''Shaktiswaroopa Parvati' you will remember that l created...''
...the Panchkroshi city with my great power.
''ln this city only' Shri Hari Vishnu appeared in the form of a man...''
''...and started meditating on me to acquire ''Brahmagyan''
The continuous chanting of my Panchakshari Mantra created...
''...a sacred sound -''Hum''
''From that sacred sound' waves of happiness started flowing.''
Hum -Shri Hari's whole body started feeling this happy wave.
''The sacred sound of ''Om'' ''started coming out of his body''
Hum - This sound was the proof to show that Shri Hari...
''...was getting the knowledge of ''Brahmagyan''
''Hum- This ''Brahmagyan'' ''is the form of Lord Shiv''
''Hum - The being who sees this ''Brahmagyan'' in his heart...''
''...he reaches me that is acquires Shivtatva' the element of Shiv.''
''Devi Parvati' one who is always indulged in Shiv devotion and...''
...one with a pure mind and good virtues get the element of Shiv...
''...very easily -''Hum''
''ln every particle of creation' element of Shiv is present.''
Total dedication and not hurting the feelings of anyone and one...
...who considers the whole world as Lord Shiv's creations...
''...acquires ''Shivgyan'' ''-''Hum''
Not to consider himself supreme and consider others as inferior...
...and one who does'nt put hurdles on the sacred path of
...others indulging in devotion and penance and has no pride...
''...only get to worship Lord Shiv. -''Hum''
''Acquiring the elements of Shiv' Shivgyan and Shiv devotion will...''
...make the soul and the brain full of glory and brightness.
''After acquiring so much' nothing remains to be acquired.-''Hum''
''The only way to get ''Shivtatva''' Shivgyan and Shiv devotion...''
...is to surrender completely at Lord Shiv's feet and to...
...chant Panchakshari Mantra Om Namah Shivaya always.
''Hum- ln this chanting ''Om Namah Shivaya''' the world's...''
''...greatest knowledge is fully present -''Hum''
Om is the sound which is said in the prayer towards Tridevs.
''Shiv is the life's auspicious form. -''Hum''
''And ''Namah'' is the best way to reach to the Brahmarupi Shiv.''
Hum -This is the truth of Brahmagyan
''This is the beautiful creation of ''Shiv''.''
''Satyam' Shivam and Sundaram have appeared through me.''
''This ''Brahmagyan'' can be acquired only by those who... ''
''...have unbreakable faith in me. -''Hum''
''As per my orders' one who treads on the true path...''
...gets relieved from worldly illusions and get united with...
...my very happy form of Sachinanand with my mercy.
''Hum- One who learns this knowledge of ''Brahmagyan''...''
''...from me who has made it' gets its glory and can...''
...burn his duty bound body in a moment and can be relieved ...
...from his duties and can reach Moksha (salvation) with ...
''...my mercy. -''Hum'' ''
''Then' even the greatest secrets of this creation also do not...''
''...remain so for him. Reason' he himself becomes a...''
''..form from where ''Shivtatva'' ''can be acquired.''
''This is only ''Brahmagyan'' ''after acquiring which you...''
''...have united your soul with my ''Paratpar Brahma''
''Now you yourself are a reflection of ''Shivtatva'''''
''...''Shivgyan'' and ''Shiv Devotion''
''You are sleeping' Parvati. You could'nt stop your sleep.''
''ln the place of acquiring divine Brahmagyan & ''Shivtatva'''...''
...sleep is more dear to you.
Surprising! Who was saying hum for every statement of...
''...mine? Who is that being' who has heard this sacred message...''
''...of ''Brahmagyan'' and also nodding with ''Hum''.''
Appear before me.
''Mahadev' without your orders' in all the three worlds...''
...even a particle can't move. By the sound of your drum...
...you had instructed me to come here. Without your wish...
...can an ordinary pigeon live even for a moment in this...
''...very cold conditions. Even after this' if l have offended your...''
''...orders' please punish me' Bholenath. Me' a sinner' is...''
...only eligible to get your punishment.
''Don't dishearten yourself' Dromya. All these illusions...''
...were created by me for you to get relieved from the curse...
''...and acquiring ''Brahmagyan''. You had become eligible to...''
''...''Brahmagyan'' earlier itself. Now you are relieved from...''
''...your Guru's curse' Brahmagyani Dromya''
