सच्चा प्रेम

एक बार श्री कृष्ण से देव ऋषि नारद ने पूछा की आप सदा यह क्यों कहते है की गोपिया ही आप से ज्यादा प्रेम करती है आप की रानियों की अपेक्षा । श्री कृष्ण ने कहा कीमैं इस का उत्तर अवश्य दूंगा  परंतु पहले मेरे लिए औषधि ले कर आओ क्यों की मुझे सिर में पीड़ा हो रही है।नारद जी समझे नहीं। श्री कृष्ण ने कहा की जो प्राणी संसार में मुझ से सबसे अधिक प्रेम करता हो उस के चरणों की धुल मुझे ला दो वही मैं औषधि के रूप में प्रयोग करूंगा।इतना सुनते ही नारद महल में रानियों के पास गए और चरण धुल मांगी श्री कृष्ण के लिए परंतु पाप होने के भय से किसी भी रानी ने अपने चरणों को धुल नहीं दी क्योंकि उन्हें भय सताने लगा की यदि श्री कृष्ण ने अपने माथे पर चरण रज का प्रयोग किया तो रानियों को नर्क में भी जगह नहीं मिलेगी। नारद अब गोपियो के पास गए और श्री कृष्ण की पीड़ा मुक्ति के लिए गोपियो से उनकी चरण धूलि मांगी।जैसे हीगोपियो ने यह सुना तो वो व्याकुल हो गयी।और सभी अपने चरणों की भूल देने के लिए तुरंत तैयार हो गयी। नारद जी ने कहा की क्यों उन्हें इस  कार्य के लिए नर्क जाने का भय नहीं है ?गोपियो ने कहा यदि हमारे चरणों की धुल श्री कृष्ण  के माथे पर लगने से उन की पीड़ा कम होती है तो हम हज़ारो बार नर्क जाने के लिए तैयार है। और तुरंत सभी ने अपने पैरो की धुल नारद जी को दे दी। यह देख नारद जी के नेत्र आंसुओ से भर गए और समझ गए की सच्चा प्रेम तो गोपियो का ही है।प्रेम और भक्ति में सौदा नहीं होता।

The true devotion

One day Sage Narada visited Lord Vishnu and and said that he wanted to know who was his favorite devotee Actually Narada was staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu and this made Narada boastful and he was expecting praise from Lord Vishnu.. But Narada was shocked when he heard that Lord Vishnu referred a farmer on earth as his favourite devotee. Narada decided to test the devotion of the farmer. He visited farmer's house early morning and noticed that the farmer after feeding cows and short prayer went to field for work. In the evening the farmer returned and again after the short prayer and spending time with family went to sleep. Sage Narada was puzzled that how this farmer could be the devotee of Lord Vishnu who remember HIS name just twice a day.Narada returned to Lord Vishnu about HIS basis of judgement. Lord Vishnu said that before the answer there was one task which Narada had to do. He gave gave a bowl of oil and told him to walk around earth and returned without dropping single drop of oil.Narada followed and went ahead.But while walking he was too engrossed and careful that no drop of oil should be fall on earth. He returned. Now , Lord Vishnu asked Narada how many times did he remember his name while doing task. Narad replied that he was too concentrating on task and it was not possible for him to utter HIS name. Lord Vishnu answered that farmer was also loaded with responsibilities but still he managed to take some time for remembering HIM  . This was clear message to Narada who felt ashamed of himself.Lord Vishnu explained, “Those who remember me while doing their duties are dearer to me than those ignored all responsibilities and chant my name day and night.”

Narad-The Wanderer

It was the duty of Lord Brahma to create the world. In the initial round he created the many creatures with the help of his mental resolution. That is why they were known as “ Manas Putra”. The word manas means “mind”. King Daksha was one amongst them. Lord Brahma ordered Daksha to create universe by the help of copulation. Daksha Prajapati then married Asikti - the daughter of Veerni. Five thousand sons, were born to them, they were known as “Haryashrav”. But Narad played the trick. He brainwashed the minds of all the sons and directed them to follow the path of salvation rather than path of creating universe. As a result they didn’t took participation in increasing the number of population. After that, Daksha married Panchajani from whom were born thousand of son called as “Shabalashrav”. Again Narad played the same trick. All of them went in search of their brothers and followed the path of salvation and never returned back. Narada had changed their mind. They became wanderers. When Daksha Prajapati came to know he became very furious with Narada and cursed him to become an eternal wanderer. He said- "You will never remain at a place for long because you have misguided my sons to became wanderers" . Also from that day it is believe that it is inauspicious to go in search of a lost person by his brothers
