RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA----------------------------At Paramanpur Chaturmasya Vrat Sthal, India's great sage Saint Shri Lakshmi Prapanna Jiyar Swami Ji Maharaj said that parents should teach their children discipline for 5 years. They should be taught sanskar between 5 to 10 years. They should be taught education between 10 to 20 years and as per the scriptures, after 25 years, one should treat their son like a friend. By the way, considering the general social situation, parents should treat their son like a friend, colleague and equal to their own son when he is 30 or 35 years old. If you do not do this, then your son will not respect you properly.

Some parents become so emotional in their love for their children that they are unable to provide proper education to their children. They do not allow their children to go out of the house to educate them. How will my son stay outside, how will he cook? In this way, parents who keep their children engrossed in the illusion of the house, are only shooting themselves in the foot. Because a child who is around 12 years, 15 years of age should be sent to wherever he needs to go for studies. After 18 years, the child should be left by his parents to pursue education independently. So that the child understands the difficulties of society. So that his confidence and morale can be increased.

Because until the parents do not make their children realize their responsibilities, the child will not be able to stand on his own feet. That is why children should not be kept tied in the bond of love. Rather, they should be encouraged to stand on their own feet. So that he can attain new heights in his life by getting the right education and sanskar.

Continuing yesterday's story under Shrimad Bhagwat Prasanga, Swami Ji threw light on the stories of Bharat Ji, the best among the 100 sons of Lord Vishnu's Anshavataar Rishabhdev. Rishabhdev made his most beloved son Bharat sit on the throne. After which Bharat Ji married Panchjani, the daughter of Vishwa Roop Prajapati. After marriage, Raj Rishi Bharat had five sons. The eldest son among them was Dhoomraketu. Raj Rishi Bharat made the eldest son Dhoomraketu the king of his kingdom. At the same time, Bharat Ji left for the ashram by giving the kingdom of different states to the other four sons.

The life story of Raj Rishi Bharat Ji was very devotional. Bharat Ji came to Pulah Ashram which is known as Sonpur. Sonpur is a region which is said to be similar to Vaikunth. There are four such areas which are similar to Vaikunth Lok. Harihar area which is known as Sonpur. Bhrigu area which is known as Ballia. Kurukshetra which is known as Gurugram of Haryana and the fourth Varah area where God appeared in the form of Varah.

Bharat ji built his hut at Pulah Ashram and started doing penance. One day the lion roared loudly. Due to which a deer which lived on the banks of Gandgi river started running away from the lion. That deer was pregnant. There were 9 deers growing in her womb. She wanted to cross the Gandgi river and run away. While running, the children in her womb fell near Bharat ji's ashram. Later on, the deer also ended her life. The same Raj Rishi Bharat ji saw those nine children of the deer. Bharat ji's affection and love for them overflowed.

He started keeping the children of the deer at his ashram. He started giving love and affection to them like his own children. Bharat ji started doing evening prayers twice a day, which he used to do three times a day. Gradually, his love for the deer's children increased so much that he started doing his prayers once a day. Sometimes Bharat ji would think that when he is not there, how will these deer live? Who will take care of them? One day, a herd of deer was going. The deer's children joined that herd and went to the herd of deer. Here, Bharat ji was waiting for the deer to return. But even after a long time, the deer did not return.

One day, Bharat ji left his body and went to the other world. After which, in the second birth, Bharat ji was born as a deer. Where Bharat ji was doing meditation in the whole area, he was born as a deer there. In the second birth, Bharat ji remembered that he was a king in his previous birth. He used to remember the entire history of his previous birth. It is said in the scriptures that even a common man must remember his past story. No matter how big a man you become. But you must remember how you lived your life before becoming a big man. This helps you in recognizing your own self.

The person who remembers his past history never gets pride in his life. That is why every person must remember his history, his sad stories from time to time. Bharat ji, who was born as a deer in his second birth, is remembering the story of his previous birth. One day Bharat ji, who was born as a deer, left his body. After which, in his third birth, Bharat ji was born in a Brahmin Angira clan.

Bharat ji's father was a Brahmin in the third birth. His name was also kept as Bharat Sharma. His father used to teach him religious scriptures mantras continuously. But Bharat ji did not speak anything. He felt that if we memorize the mantras, then my father will start sending me for worship. In this way, when he did not speak anything, then one day his father named him Jad Bharat.

After a few days, Jad Bharat ji's father left. His brothers used to arrange food etc. for him. But Jad Bharat ji used to sit quietly. One day his brothers said that do some work, how will you manage your food by sitting like this. When Jad Bharat ji went to work, he did not work, rather he used to spoil it even more. One day he was scolded a lot by his brothers. After which he was thrown out of the house.

Jad Bharat ji was wandering, on the way, King Raghugarh was going sitting on a palanquin. At the same time, suddenly the health of one of his bearers deteriorated. After this, King Raghugarh's eyes went towards Jad Bharat ji. He says that call that person as a Kahar. The same Jad Bharat ji started moving forward carrying the palanquin in the form of a Kahar. Whenever any living creature came in front of Jad Bharat ji, he would suddenly lift his legs and start walking. Due to which the head of King Raghugarh sitting in the palanquin would start hitting the palanquin.

King Rahugarh started scolding his Kahars. The Kahars said, Maharaj, this new Kahar who has come, deliberately starts moving his legs forward very fast. Due to which the balance of the palanquin gets spoiled. At the same time, King Rahugarh started scolding Jad Bharat ji. Jad Bharat ji preaches to King Rahugarh for the first time here. Jad Bharat ji says, you fool, you have no knowledge at all, whom do you want to kill, this body is made of five elements, whatever is in this body, the same thing is in my body too. You are proud of your body. Just like your body is made, my body is made in the same way. You keep preaching while sitting in the palanquin. Jad Bharat Ji preached King Raghugarh in many ways.

After this, King Raghugarh who was going to get education from Lord Kapil Dev, returned from there. Because the preaching that he was going to get from Lord Kapil Dev, was preached by Jad Bharat Ji. Jad Bharat Ji was going further. There the leader of the thieves had made a vow that if I get a son, then I will perform a human sacrifice. There a son was born in the house of that leader of the thieves. He was searching for a man to perform a human sacrifice. There he saw Jad Bharat Ji. There the leader of the thieves took Jad Bharat Ji to Bhadrakali for sacrifice. Where before the sacrifice, Jad Bharat Ji was given a good bath. He was dressed in beautiful new clothes. He was fed delicious dishes. Tilak was applied. After which as soon as the leader of the thieves wanted to kill by raising the sword for sacrifice, Bhadrakali appeared.

There Bhadrakali beheaded the leader of the thieves with a sword. After which Jad Bharat ji was freed from there. Jad Bharat ji left from there. After which Jad Bharat ji devoted his life to penance and meditation. All the types of sacrifices that are made are very wrong. Because all the living beings in the world. All of them are the part of Lord Shriman Narayan. God is never happy with the killing of his living being. That is why the way there is a tradition of sacrificing in the society even today, it is very wrong. No god or goddess is happy with this. Rather, its ill effects fall on the person who sacrifices. That is why every person should understand the biggest wonder of the world. The biggest wonder of this world is death.

Sometimes when a person sees someone being killed or sees a dead person going, at that time he should remember his form. Because the biggest wonder of the world is that you know that you too have to die one day. But you do not feel this wonder. That is why whether you sacrifice or commit violence, kill a living being, at that time you should also understand your nature. You are afraid of death, but kill another living being. There is a need to think about this.
