AFTER 50 YEARS, ONE SHOULD HAND OVER ONE’S RESPONSBILITY TO THE NEW GENERATION: JIYAR SWAMI

RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA---------------------------At Paramanpur Chaturmasya Vrat Sthal, India's great sage Saint Shri Lakshmi Prapanna Jiyar Swami Ji Maharaj said that after 50 years, one should gradually hand over one's responsibilities to the younger generation. He said that between 50 and 60, one should hand over one's responsibilities to the younger generation and observe their work. This will enable you to give proper guidance to your children to discharge their responsibilities. This will make it easier for them to run their home, family and household.

According to the scriptures, after 60 years, one should completely hand over all responsibilities to one's children. This will maintain the dignity of parents. Sometimes it happens that your children want to take responsibilities from you forcefully. Before that, you should hand over your responsibilities to your younger generation. In Dwapar Yuga, Raja Parikshit was made the king by the five Pandavas and was given the responsibility of managing the government.

Swami Ji said that parents should treat all their sons with equality. This will maintain harmony among the children in the family. Even if the thoughts, behaviour and diet of the son are not the same, it is the duty of the parents to treat their children equally, give them the right to conduct, wealth and property. Some parents do not treat their children equally. They love the child who is more talented more. But for better harmony in the family society, parents should treat all their sons equally. Dhritarashtra ended the Kaurava dynasty by falling in love for his son. That is why one should never be under the influence of love.

Some inauspicious signs are visible before adverse circumstances arise in life: Shri Jiyar Swami Ji Maharaj

After the war between Kauravas and Pandavas, when Dwarkadish Shri Krishna returned to Dwarkapuri, after that many types of inauspicious thoughts started coming in the mind of Hastinapur's emperor Dharmaraj Yudhishthir. Swami Ji said that after 35 years of the war between Kauravas and Pandavas, in the 36th year, when Shri Krishna returned to Dwarkapuri, after that, when Dharmaraj Yudhishthir did not get any news of Shri Krishna in Hastinapur for 6 months, then many types of inauspicious thoughts started coming in his mind. His mind was very sad.

One day Arjun asked Dharmaraj Yudhishthir, brother, why are you sad? What is your problem? Then Dharmaraj Yudhishthir said to Arjun, Arjun, it has been many months since Lord Shri Krishna left. Till now, no news of him has been received. That is why many types of inauspicious thoughts are coming in the mind. After which Arjun was sent to Dwarkapuri by Yudhishthir ji. Arjun went to Dwarkapuri. After going, almost many months passed. Till then Arjun also did not return. Here, Maharaj Yudhishthir's mind was very disturbed.

It is mentioned in the scriptures that when a crow or a vulture sits on a person's forehead or pecks at the head repeatedly, then it should be understood that some inauspicious event is about to happen. If a dog is seen crying on the way or crying with its face upwards, then it is also a sign of inauspicious sign. If one is seen going towards south in a dream, where many people are going towards south while singing daily, then it is also a sign of inauspicious news.

If a person is sitting to worship and repeatedly offers worship material, flowers etc., but every time the worship material or flowers etc. get scattered, then it is also a sign of inauspiciousness. If the idols of God appear sad after going to the temple, then it is also a sign of inauspiciousness.

If suddenly wrong thoughts come to the mind, your body is completely healthy, yet the mind gets disturbed, then it should be understood that some inauspicious events may happen or one may hear about them in life.

When negative events happen due to dog, jackal, crow or vulture, then it is not considered auspicious. Similar incidents were happening with Dharmaraj Yudhishthir as well. Many types of thoughts were visible in his mind.

On the other hand, Arjun returned to Hastinapur from Dwarkapuri after many months. Arjun told Yudhishthir, brother Shri Krishna is no more, his parents are also no more, Dwarkapuri is finished. Hearing this, Dharmaraj Yudhishthir fell on the ground. As soon as Kunti heard this news, she also fell on the ground and gave up her life. Arjun further told that, half the people of Lord Shri Krishna's Dwarkapuri were killed by fighting among themselves. At the same time, whatever people were left, Lord Shri Krishna himself killed them.

When Lord Shri Krishna returned to Dwarka from Hastinapur, after that people in Dwarkapuri had formed two groups among themselves. After which people started fighting with each other and dying. One day some people went to test the sages and saints. There a person was taken away by tying some cloth on his stomach and disguising him as a woman. The people of Dwarkapuri went and asked the sages and saints that tell us whether the woman will have a boy or a girl.

All the sages and saints present there became silent. No one was saying anything. But these questions were being repeated again and again. After which Durvasa Rishi became angry. He said that the child born to that woman will neither be a boy nor a girl, it will be a pestle. Now as per the words of Durvasa Rishi, the person who was in the form of a woman, really had an iron pestle in his stomach. An iron pestle came out from the cloth that was tied.

DurvasaThe sage cursed that the same iron pestle will be the reason for the destruction of all of you. The entire Dwarka Puri was destroyed because of that iron pestle and liquor. The iron that came out was thrown by the people. It broke down and turned into grass on the banks of the river. Later on, the grass turned into small iron sticks. A hunter kept those small iron sticks to aim his arrow. One day, a hunter was going on the way. Lord Shri Krishna was sitting under a tree. From a distance, the hunter left the iron pestle stick there. It hit Lord Shri Krishna's feet. When the hunter came from nearby, he saw that it was Lord Shri Krishna. He started apologizing. But Lord Shri Krishna said, hunter, you were Bali in your previous life. In this life, you have become a hunter. In your previous life, we killed you by hiding. In this life, you killed me by hiding. So, don't be worried, you have no fault in this. Lord Shri Krishna ended his life.

Balram ji also went into the water and left his body. Lord Shri Krishna had said that after we leave the earth, 7 days after that Dwarka Puri will be completely submerged. Only one place of mine will remain. Where we will live. In this way, the whole of Dwarkapuri was destroyed. When Arjun told this news to Dharmaraj Yudhishthir, Yudhishthir was very disappointed.

When Arjun went to Dwarkapuri, only a few people were left alive there. Arjun brought them with him to Hastinapur. Later, Mathura, Vrindavan, Barsana, Gokul were resettled by Dharmaraj Yudhishthir and Lord Shri Krishna's grandson was made the king. Later, Dharmaraj Yudhishthir handed over the throne of Hastinapur to his grandson Raja Parikshit. After which the five Pandavas and Draupadi started the journey to heaven.

The journey to heaven started from Haridwar via Badrinarayan to Mana village which is the last border village of India. After which India's neighbouring country is China. They were going together from Mana village on the snowy roads of the Himalayas. After walking a little further, Draupadi fell in the snow on the way. Bhima asked Yudhishthira, brother Draupadi fell on the way. What is the reason for this? Dharmaraj ji said that everything was fine with Draupadi. But despite being the wife of all five Pandavas, her affection towards Arjun was more. That is why she could not go on the journey to heaven.

Later, Sahadev, Nakul, Arjun, Bhima, all four also fell on the way. Because Sahadev was proud of his beauty. Nakul was proud of his knowledge. Arjun was arrogant about his Gandiva. Bhima did not have control over his food. Due to which all four people fell on the way in the journey to heaven. Only Dharmaraj Yudhishthira reached the gates of heaven. After reaching there, he looked back and saw a dog following him.

As soon as Yudhishthir reached the gate and tried to move ahead, the gatekeepers there told Yudhishthir that Maharaj only one person will go. Yudhishthir said that we will not go alone, a dog will also go with me. If both of us do not go, then we will not go. That dog was Dharmaraj. Who was testing Yudhishthir. Does Dharmaraj Yudhishthir pass the test of Dharma even at the last moment. The dog appeared as Dharmaraj and said to Maharaj Yudhishthir, Maharaj we are Dharma, we were testing you.

After that Yudhishthir was going inside the heaven, then he saw that on the way Karna, Duryodhan, everyone was celebrating in heaven. Whereas Draupadi, Nakul, Sahadev, Arjun were also suffering hell even in heaven. Yudhishthir asked the employees, is there discrimination happening here in heaven too. Why such atrocities with my brothers. The employees there said that Maharaj, we do not know about it. The high command will tell. Yamraj arrives next. Yudhishthir asked the same question to him.

After that Chitragupt ji was also called. He opened his ledger and started looking at the events of his entire life. In which no mistake or fault was found. Lord Shri Krishna reached there. After looking at the entire ledger, Chitragupt told that you have lied once in your life. You said that Ashwatthama vadh: Naro ya Kunjaro.

Yudhishthir ji said that I did not lie. Lord Shri Krishna made me lie, then I said it. The same Krishna ji says that what I said was not what you said. You added some words to it from your mind, that became a lie. That is why in your journey to heaven, your brothers were shown a hell-like scene in heaven. But they are also entitled to heaven. Therefore, just for a small mistake, you have been shown the scene of hell. Yudhishthira and his brothers went to heaven.

Here in Hastinapur, King Parikshit was managing the administration very well. The administration of Mathura, Vrindavan and Barsana was being managed by Lord Shri Krishna's grandson. How King Parikshit manages the administration of Hastinapur will be discussed the next day. Jai Shriman Narayn.
