RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA---------------------------In Chaturmasya Vrat Paramanpur, India's great sage Saint Shri Lakshmiprapanna Jiyar Swami Ji Maharaj told that behavior changes with company. If someone is a bad person and he gets company with good people. Then his behavior also becomes good. On the other hand, if good people get company with bad people, then their behavior also becomes bad. For example, Swami Ji told the story of Dhundakari and Gokarna Ji. Dhundakari had ruined his life by falling into bad company. Dhundakari means the person who always lives his life by walking on the path of immorality, injustice, and unrighteousness. He is called Dhundakari.

Swami Ji told that in ancient times there was a village on the banks of Tungabhadra river. Where a very rich, opulent, learned, generous, virtuous Brahmin lived. Whose name was Atmdev. He was married to a woman who was very harsh and quarrelsome. Media director Ravi Shankar Tiwari told that Swami said that Atmdev ji had no children. He did a lot of worship, Tulsi worship, cow worship, etc. But he did not have any children. Troubled by all this, Atmdev ji left home one day and started thinking of committing suicide. He went and sat in a forest. Just then a sanyasi was returning after performing Sandhya Vandan near the lake. Then he saw Atmdev. The sanyasi asked Atmdev ji whether he wanted to become a sanyasi. Why have you come to this forest. Then Atmdev ji said that I do not have any children. I want children. Then the sanyasi said that you do not have the fortune of having children in seven births. Then Atmdev started saying to Swami ji that you bless me so that I get children. Otherwise I will give up my life. The blame for which will be on you. After which the sanyasi started thinking that if this man dies, I will be blamed. Then Mahatma ji gave a fruit and said to feed it to his wife. Atmdev ji gave that fruit to his wife. Then his wife thought that someone gets a child by eating fruit. My husband has lost his senses because of the sanyasi. Atmdev's wife told her sister that a sanyasi has given a fruit which will give me a child. Then his sister said that you feed this fruit to your tied cow. By which the result of the fruit of that sanyasi will be known. I will give my child to you. Then after some time, she gave the remaining child to Atmdev's wife.

After a few days, a child was born from the cow also. Whose ears were like a cow and body was like a man. Both the children grew up. The child whose ears were like a cow. His name was kept as Gokarna. Atmdev's wife Dhundhli's son was named as Dhundhakari. Gokarna became a great scholar. Dhundhakari became a big troublemaker. His life started getting spent in crime.

Atmdev ji used to think that why did I get a child. Earlier the house was full of books of scriptures, Vedas and Puranas. Dhundakari had kept meat, fish and bottles of alcohol in it. One day Atmdev ji got fed up with him and went to the forest. After which Dhundakari started beating his mother too. One day his mother also died. Then one day Gokarna ji also left the house and went for a pilgrimage. Then Dhundakari started creating more ruckus and violence. He started bringing prostitutes to his house. He even started stealing for them. One day he stole a lot of things from the king's house. Then the prostitutes thought that he has stolen so many things from the king's house. When the king's soldiers come, they will catch us too. So they made Dhundakari drink alcohol and killed him and buried him in the soil in the courtyard itself. Then the prostitute went away with all the money. Then Dhundakari became a ghost. When Gokarna ji came, he saw that the whole house had become like a deserted crematorium. Dhundakari was hanging there as a ghost. Then Gokarna ji asked how did you get into such a condition. After which Dhundhkari told everything. Then Gokarna ji said that I will go to Gaya and do your Pind Daan. I will do Tarpan. Then you will get salvation. Dhundhkari told that no matter how much Pind Daan you do, nothing is going to happen. Because this is the result of my deeds. After that Gokarna took bath the next morning and offered water to Sun God and worshiped him and found a solution. Then he came to know that by listening to Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta, even the ghost can get freedom.

By listening to Shrimad Bhagwat, even the ghost gets freedom: Lakshmi Prapanna Jiyar Swami Ji Maharaj

While preaching, Shri Lakshmi Prapanna Jiyar Swami Ji Maharaj said that by listening to Shrimad Bhagwat, even the ghost gets freedom. Then Gokarna ji called big scholars and organized Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta. In which, by taking a pledge from the Pandits, Shrimad Bhagwat was started for Dhundhkari. After listening to Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta for 7 days, Dhundakari got freedom from the ghost soul and he entered Devlok. Soot ji told everyone the story of Dhundakari and Gokarna ji. Then Sonak Krishi asked what is the rule of listening to Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta. How is it listened to? Soot ji told that whoever wants to listen to the story can do so. One can listen to Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran by keeping fast, eating two meals, eating fruits. Soot ji told that if possible, one can do it alone. Otherwise many people can listen to Shrimad Bhagwat together.
