Subject=Bhagavatam -contd
Suta maharshi was co-student of Suka Maharshi under the guidence of Veda Vyasa.So he inherited the noble qualities of a teacher from Vyasa Maharshi and he became the
guru to many sages in the forest
named as 'Nymisaranyam'.The word nymisam means one who will not close the eyelid even for a moment.These sages in this forest always engaged in pursuit of God's
realisation in learning more and more about scriptures.They meditated upon God . To such noble sages Suka maharshi narrated the sacred epic Bhagavatam.
They performed yagnam for twelve years.That was devotion and commitment of those rishis.
Gayatri mantram is said to be of more powerful mantra uttered to invoke the five elements,five is mesenses,five pranas three gunas and chaitanyam or what you call brightness
that u get from Surya.
A gnani always is aware of his existence which is not different from the Eternel.He knows that God is present everywhere and he is not seen.But seeking Him in our
own self is our pursuit.
Soham means that is me and that bright is myself. When u look at Surya while uttering Gayatri mantra we invoke him to bestow his brightness in us and make us more
enlightened.
Eko narayano hari means God is all pervasive and He is one and the same.
If you come out of creation and see the whole creation is like a fish floating in the water.That blue colour is reality.The brightness of sun on water is reality.This
is the truth of nature.
Excessive tatvam was is the essence of Matsya puranam and that is what we find in Bhagavatam.
Without the help of our intelligence ,if we approach this epic with a crystal clear mind devoid of malice,illwill,desire,or cunningness,it itself will clear the
impurities in our mind and enable us to get detached from these bonds and obtain permenent happiness
Suta was an expert in giving lecture with his abundent knowledge .He was an embodiment of good qualities.He was wellversed
with puranas and itihasas
He was able to give lectures with equanimity.That was recieved by his disciples with reverence. He heared and recorded the
essence of the lectures given by saints like Veda Vyasa.
The true disciple is one who will add his own experience with the teachings of his teacher while imparting to his students.
The real disciple must assimilate what is taught by his guru,to practise what he has assimilated,to experience the effect of it while practising,and to impart his
experience to his disciples with the same intensity.
There are 18 puranas and 2 ithihasas .Ithihasas are 1.Bharatam 2.Bhagavatam. The rishis wrote these ithihasas taking the essence from Vedas and combinig
certain unrealities in life.
A real guru is an embodiment of resignation,bhakthi,intellegence,wisdom and teaching.
Suta maha muni is endowed with a great responsibility of teaching to people who are indolent,with low level of intelligence,with less longevity of life,
and whose minds were corrupted by impure thoughts.
In this yuga men are pre occupied with various responsibilities that they donot find a moment's time to think of God and good deeds.
We have to lead these lives doing all the duties without getting attached to those deeds..
There is no time limit or right time to think of God.A man whose mind is bent on God does not fear about 'death' as he is overpowered with the light
that is there in him in form of soul which is none other than God Himself .
If you are attached to God with your thoughts ,you get dettached from the shackles of this life.
The more you listen about Him the more is your intensity of feeling.
The great gunas of Vishnu fill our hearts with sumptuous meal.
Taste is nothing but light. The fire that is born out of the stories of Sri Hari will burn the immence sins of the forest of modern life.
The present generation gets complete relief from this life's insatiable desires with which they are overbudened all the time.
Our sorrows are like 'kunjaras'means elephant like.So the chanting of 'narayana'destoys the horrible desires and hatreds in human
beings with radiance.
To conquer the evil forces in us like ego,malice,jealousy,hatred,anger,illwill,we need to utter the sacred word 'Narayana'.
Ugrasrava vasundu was the son of Roma harsha and Devahuthi.A boy of seven years old ,Ugrasrava vasundu taught his mother about 'dharma'.
While describing about the greatness of Suka maharshi Suta muni referred to Ugrasrava vusundu.
Suka maha muni was a balanced ,sanyasi,conqurer of all five sensory organs so he was digambara means not dressed and also not aware of it
Such was his resignation.Even Veda Vyasa was stunned at the way he was roaming in the forests and apsarasas did not feel for their
nakedness while taking bath in the river but were concious about it when Veda Vyasa came there.When Vyasa called his son SUka ,the
answer was given by birds,flowers, trees ,and animals as he was one with the creation of God.Such was the great equanimity of Suka Maharshi.
