Destiny or Prarabdha III

Dear Guru brothers/sisters, I welcome you all again on this another post on Prarabdha!! So many times Guruji has tried to taught us about Destiny through His teachings in Vedvani or his divine past times or leela but seeing people’s less interest in trying to understand those holy teachings, He at one point of time even lamented. In this modern era, people who are getting initiated under the naam diksha of our holy Gurudev, most of them don’t seem to know or understand about this theory of Prarabha and even if they ever understand, very reluctantly and rarely accept the theory of Destiny!! I have seen people and even my own relatives & friends always complaining of various different issues as why I have not been able to get a better job, why I am not getting promotions, why I am always ill, why I am not rich, why my parents don’t understand me, why my boyfriend or girlfriend doesn’t listen to me or like me, why my husband or wife is not beautiful, etc. etc. the list is endless and it goes on and on and in this very very long list there is no place for Prarabha or Destiny!!! If Destiny is not there then every actor should have been Amitabh Bachchan or every cricketer should have been Sachin Tendulkar!!! What reasons I gave aforesaid are very minor to which the closest disciples have shown to the world by accepting the Prarabha and too in the presence of Sri Sri Thakur Himself!! Sri Kunjalal Mazumdar whose house is still there in South Kolkata and whose residence became famous at one point of time because of advent of Lord Sri Sri Satyanarayan in an earthen water pot which is still present at their house!! That was an historic moment which took place during an evening when suddenly Sri Sri Thakur exclaimed as Lord Sri Sri Satyanarayan is arriving please bring a seat mat (asan) for Him but the Mazumdar family panicked at an sudden demand and in a rush when at last the asan was fetched Gurudev said in a disappointing voice that it is not required now as He has established Himself in the earthen pot which was being kept for Sri Sri Thakur’s use for drinking water, and directed everybody to prostrate before it as the Lord is present there!! Even today also one can go to that house which is infact a place of pilgrimage for each one of us and have darshan of Lord Sri Sri Satyanarayan there!! The house is near Madox Square and there is big park near to that house where our Guruji used to take walk during the mornings & evenings!! It once happened that Sri Sri Thakur was present in their house and a son of Mazumdar family was severely ill!! Guruji was busy in spiritual discourse with various other devotees and Kunjalal babu would very often come and inform the condition of his child and every time Guruji would say that What can I do?? I am helpless!! I can only pray!! At the end, Kunjalal babu came crying that his son is going to die very soon as told by the doctor and Sri Sri Thakur also replied the same thing, at this Kunjalal babu said just bless him so that he gets salvation and asked for charanamrit water which Sri Sri Thakur gave happily and blessed the child and soon after taking the holy charanamrit the young child died!!! Now what all you will say for this incident??? Kunjalal babu not a even single time said or thought that why Gurudev is not doing anything to save his child?? What is the use of becoming His disciple?? Can we ever match ourselves with the level of faith and devotion they had for our Gurudev??? Sri Sri Thakur while describing about Prarabdha very often used to give example of Abhimanyu of Maharabharat who was the nephew of Lord Sri Krishna Himself and son of Arjuna and who was killed brutally in the battlefield at a very young age!! Why the Lord didn’t saved him?? The answer is Destiny and it was pre-decided!! He also used to give example of King Harishchandra who being a King lost everything, his kingdom, his family and even worked as Dom (person required for burning dead bodies) in a funeral ground and at one time even his own son’s dead body was brought before him to be burnt but the King didn’t lost his dharma and satya (truthfulness)!! It all had happened due to his own Prarabha and after they were repaid back subsequently he got everything back as earlier, his family, kingdom everything!! Sri Sri Thakur always used to say that to not to lose patience, bear the destiny, chant the Sri Naam!! But people would do just the opposite, loose patience, fight against the destiny and forgot the Sri Naam!! And due to these again more and more karmas are being added into their account which they will have to undergo again and believe me there is no respite from them except the holy Sri Naam!! So, friends, always remember the Sri Naam!! See you all, at the next post!! Jai Ram!!
