Cold
Fight Between Deities of Heaven:-
One
day Lord Narada came to the cottage of sage Biswamitra. Then the sage
Biswamitra asked him to sit and asked the reason of coming of lord Narada. Then lord Narada said How can I not come to
you, you are like my family member so I want to tell you, Narada said, “ You
are very naive, you have more intense emotion and less thinking , Because The
Deities had objection to the creation of your Trisanku heaven , to get rid of
this, they sent Lord Brihaspati(the teacher of Deities) to you to solve it. And
when they asked you, immediately you stops the work, but took very little time to
decide. You forget about him..” The sage Biswamitra asked, “About Who ?” Narada
Said, “ About Trisanku, You made heaven for him and it is a important work, But
what benefits, ever
thought, what will he do there? Who will he rule? When Bruhaswati asked you to
stop work for the new heaven, why didn't you ask him to make you a Indra to
Trisanku ?” Then Biswamitra said, “O Lord Narada, you are right, Trisanku has
to be placed in place of Indra.”. But Narada Said, “But it is not easy, you have
to be a Brahmarshi to change the rule of the world. Do not delay, start penance
to become a Brahmarshi and become a Brahmarshi.” Then Biswamitra said, “How can
I forget that I promised myself to become a Brahmarshi and I will show Basistha
to become a Brahmarshi” Narada said, “Go and do penance, and become a
Brahmarshi” And Narada Diapered.
Then
he went to a secluded place and was doing harsh penance in that place. Seeing
him deities of heaven got nerves. They held a meeting to discuss how to stop
him from doing penance. But when they do not find a solution, they ask their
teacher Lord Bruhaswati to solve it. Bruhaswati said, “Combine all your power
and create a new power, Combine all your power and create a new power, The new
power have power of you all. you all Indra,lord of fire lord Agni,lord of water
lord Varuna,lord of wind and lord of death lord Yama, make the him now. They
made him and Indra ordered him, “ Go to Earth, There Biswamitra is doing
penance, disturb his penance, if you fail then kill him.” He said as you wish
sir and he camed to Earth.
When
he tried to disturb him he could not do anything. His power did not work in front
of Biswamitra's power. When he threw his weapon to kill them, due to the power
of Biswamitra, his weapon fell behind him. And chased him and Destroyed him. When Devaraja(king
of deities) Indra came to know about this, he tried to distract her penance
with lust. So he summoned Apsara Rambha to himself and ordered Biswamitra to
break his penance. And Rambha had an ego that she could do anything with beauty
and lust with anyone. So she said that she can do it in no time and she does
not need anyone's help. She came to earth, and danced and did many things to
break the austerity of Biswamitra but she failed but when she tried to hug him,
Biswamitra opened her eyes with anger and cursed her and said, "You are so
cocky that's why ,you become a rock now. " Rambha apologized while crying
and said, “please forgive me. O, sage please forgive me.” So Biswamitra
pardoned and said while pacifying the anger, the curse cannot be taken back, in
the future a maharishi(Great sage) will save you from this curse. Then Rambha
turn into a rock. When Indra came to know this he became sad.
On
the completion of Maharshi Biswamitra’s penance when he get his Prasad(result
of his penance), Indra came as a Brahmin old man and ask for food. That
Biswamitra knew in his mind that he is Indra but didn't told. . He gave his
prasad to the old man and asked him to eat everything. After the old man
finished the prasad, Biswamitra asked the old man how are you Mahendra? Indra
asked in surprise how did you recognize me and if you recognized me then why
did you give me your Prasad?
Biswamitra told with smile, “There is more
pleasure in giving than taking, You are a god but you have hindered my penance,
which you have no right, you asked for this prasad, in which I had only rights
but I gave it, now you are indebted to me”. Indra Head bowed and returned to heaven
and told Bruhaswati everything “If they had got that principle, then they do
not know what happens in the whole world, so I asked them for that Prasad at
that time. We all are failed in front of him our all power are failed in front
of him.” And asked Bruhaswati for another solution. Bruhashwati told, “The
person who gives up his austerity so easily is very selfless, send Menka
because she is the most beautiful apshara in our heaven, nobody could escape
her beauty, everyone came in lust.” Then Indra told, “ If Rambha failed then
can Menka do ?” Then Bruhaswati said, “Not Rambha's ego, Maneka's innocence,
intimacy and affection can melt Biswamitra's hardness.” Then Indra called
Menka.
So what did we learn from this?
1)
Never take a decision too soon. Even Lord Shri
Krishna told in the Shrimad Bhagwat Gita that, Don't take any decision when you
are very happy or when you are very sad, because happy and sad in both cases people
what decision they take, they themselves are unable to unable to understand
about that decision at that time, when people are very happy or very sad , they
takes very big decisions but when they came to the normal state of mind it is
gets tough and they Gets in trouble.
2)
Control your lust, it is very important if you
want to achieve something great.
3)
There
should always be a donor, because everywhere the donor is great is not the
receiver. If anyone asks for anything from you, give it to him, no matter who
he is or whatever it is. It can be your friend, family member or anyone. If you
give something to someone, you will feel happy and you will get happiness and
pleasure.
4)
If you want to control you mind to making
decision then follow these rules, these are hat I understand from Lord Sri
krisna’s Bhagwat Gita , I will discuss it in the last of this volume.
5) Be ready for change because change is the rule of world.
