- what is the phala of cleaning the vishnu temple premises and sprinkling water there ?
- Once in vanvaasa PANDAVAS were moving deeper into forests and visiting many teertha kshetras .. they crossed SHOOLAKANTAk kshetra and reached UTTAMteertha
- There one RAKSHASA by name BAHUROMA saw PANDAVAS and with an aim to abduct DRAUPADI devi .. hatched a plan
- he sat on the banks of REVA and with darbha sitting on apeetha in complete dhayna and doing japa of a mantra
- YUDHISTHIRa seeinga great YOGI rishi on the banks , came to him sat next to him and asked him to GIVE upadesha on RAHASYA about LINganadi NARMADa teertha .. Yudhsihthir says ' a darshan of MUNi is always a scope to know more about SADHANa" [ importance of being alert on sadhan and means to know it is being exhibited by YUDHISTHRI ]
- Around teh same time another RAKSHAS called STHULASHIRAS in a MUNI disguise comes and pleads is there anyone to protect ! one who saves protects one in TROUBLE will get complete phala .. and if the eprson is BRAMHAN shreshtha it will be even more complete ... one side bhudaan equivalent of MERU parvat ... and on the other hand saving of DWIJA stree children cows from the hands of DUSHTA , saving a person froma deathbed .. these are all equal
- one who abandons bramhans in distress , men in life and death situations such person will fall in RAURAV naraka
- hey veeer ! i ahve lost everything a a danav has taken away everything from em , my parnashala , kamandalu akshamala asan everything
- PANDAVA looking at the muni , decided t help him .. leaving DRAUPADI devi bythe side of BAHUROMA and five set out with sthula shiras
- after long search seeing no signs of any danger , YUDHISHTHIR gets some doubt .. he thinks there seems no signs of dacoity as told by this mUNI ..and asks ARJUN to go back see the welfare of DRAUPADI who has been left alone ! and then looking at the SUN says , OH ! devatas , I am now in a doubt , bythe power of my shaurya and PUNYA I ASK what is the REAL situation .. do let me KNOW !
- then a ASHAREERVAANi happens , saying there is nothing wrong , all this is MAYA of this RAKSHASA called STHULASHIRAS who si by your side "
- just as VOICE finsihes , BHEEMSSEN catches the RAKSHASA and hits him hard and RAKSHASA unable to bear pain takes his original shape and fights with bheema
- here ARJUn runs back to find that there is no BAHUROMA and DRAUPADI
- he looks for her here and there and then CLIMBING a TREE invokes his DISTANT viewing TELESCOPIC EYE .. there he sees BAHUROMA carrying Draupadi on his shoulder and DRAUPADI crying out 'BHEEMSEN BHEEMSEN "
- ARJUn without loosinga moment , took a long steads to run after him .. on teh way he as ARJUN was jumping from tree to tree each tree fell and making return journey impossibel for teh rakshasa ..
- seeing huge pile s of trees behind .. RAKSHASA got terified and sensing son ARJUN will catch up with him , he LEFT DRAUPADI devi and planned an escape .. BUT ARJUn did not stop following him .. both ran a long distance ...
- and suddenly RAKSHASA loosing pace .. stopped and turned BACK .. and stood still ..as ARJUn came nearer .. RAKSHASA turned into FOUR ARMED , SHANKU CHKRA GADA PADMA holding DIVYA PERSONA ... ARJUN dismayed , stood with folded hands hands and said .. HUMAN being and his intelligence is just LIMITED VAUSDEVA .. oh what a KARMA that I chased you with my silly DOUBT .. HOW shall i beg forgivance from you oh KRISHNA
- CHATURBHUJA says " HEy MAHANUBHAv ARJUN ! I AM not KRISHNA ! I am RAKSHASA by anme BAHUROMA . by my good deeds in previosu janmas I have got a deha body similar to that of LORD HARI ! "
- HAving heard this surprised ARJUN says " hey BAHUROMA chturbhuja ! which karma you did in previous birth that you ahve GOT thsi SAROOPYA of MAHAVISHNU ? "please let me know about that KARMA vishesha in YATHARTHA "
- Chaturbhuj says "oh ARJUn let me tell my surprising interesting story to all your brothers ! I was a a KING in the SOMAVANSHA by name JAYADHWAJA .. I was a immensely devoted to MAHAVISHNU NARAYANA . BUt even though being a KING i used to daily everyday go to a VISHNU temple and clean its premises with broom and cloth and then sprinkle water regularly ! this I was doing sincerely "
- I used to clean the temple garbha gudi with gomaya and lighta deepa .. then there was a BRAMHAN by anme VITIHOTRA he was very famous and highly learned
- VITIHOTRA too used to get surprised at my daily cleaning of teh premises .. VITIHTRA was lerned in rigveda shiksha vyakarana veda nga etc .. and once after cleaning as i was sitting on the pavement , Vitihotra asked " HEY rajan ,! I am sure you know what you are doing ? it shows the conviction with which you are doing thsi si very different
- YOu are devoted it is no doubt evident and the sincerety in cleaning is something unimaginable YOU are a KING .. there are so many ways to PLEASE HARI ! hey punyashaali ! some may plese HARI even more ! but you seem to know the phala of what you are doing ? do you know this work has more punya than anything else ? if yu ahve some good will on me THEN do let me know what is teh secret ?"
- JAYADHWAJ king says " oh BRAMHANA ! I am a JAATISMARA [ one who knows his past life clearly ! ] what i would say would be indeed surprising ! .. Oh BRAMHIn ! i was also a BRAMHIN in my previosu birth by name RAIVAT "
- RAIVAT was doing yaaga fr those who were ineleigible . he was cruel , extracting money , always engaged in business like attitude , selling even liquids and doing all sort of NISHIDDHA karmas . ALl his relatives ahd left him and he again immersed into many many sins and neecha karyas .. . HE was ever interested in paradravya parastree , in pranihimsa . daily drinking alcohol and slowly developed hate towards others bramhins too
- HE used to stop and loot travellers .. and everyday .. seduce other bramhan woman and take them to a secluded place to enjoy .. HE had chosen a old VISHNu temple where POOJAs were not happening .. and take woman there , clen it and tear of his dhoti edge and make a deepa of it and light it in the temple o that he could have SAMBHOGA ..
- one day villagers found him red handed by seeinga small light in the devalaya .. and caught him and beheaded RAVIAT bramhana for hsi dushkarma ..
- BUT then there came VISHNU DOOOTAS to pick me up and I reached UTTAM swarga .. I enjoyed swarga with a beautiful form and that too for 100 kalpas .. and then I took birth in chadrakul as a KING with lotus eyed beautiful bdyby anmke JAYADHWAJ ..
- CHATURBHUJA continues narrating to ARJUN ..
- even as JAYADHWAJ I left my body and reached SWARGA then from there I reached INDRA loka and then to RUDRA loka and then from there while going to SATYALOKA on teh way I hapenned to meet NARAD muni but I did not apy my respects to him , and continued journey as if I did not notcie
- THen NARAD muni intercepted but JAYADHWAJ made apahasa , ie he laughed at NARAD muni .. and insulted .. NARAD muni cursed him to become RAKSHAS ..
- Immediately KING feel on the feet of NARADAmuni .. and rishi then happy said , okay when you abduct DRAUPADI devi ! then when you will be chased at that time you will get relief from the RAKSHASa curse ..
- Oh !yudhsithri ! now released from curse , I find myself in SAROOPYA of MAHAVISHNU and now I leave for VAIKUNTHA .. and as everyone was seeing HE ascended the seat of GARUDA and went to VAIKUNTHA ..
- EVEN when RAIVAT did VISHNU devalaya sanmOWINGLY , he got uttam janma .. in the next janma he also got past life rememberance and HE with devotion did the VISHNU devalaya SANMARJAN seva now kNOWINGLY to get rid of sins completely .. and GOT MOKSHA .. SO doing CLEANINg of the home temple [ where saligram devat vigrahais there ] is great PUNYA and doing it with knwoledge of its mahima is even GREATER .. there is NO greater seva than this ... NOW woman and non dwijas cannot say THEY ahve nothing to do .. as seva ..
- thsu you all MEN and women , DO VISHNU POOJA theer is no better purushartha than this , TIS i say with two hands raised and againa nd again KRISHNARPANAMASTU
