Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevaya ...


Manduki became a sage in the Gotra of Harit Muni, the chief of the Brahmins settled by Devarshi Naradaji in Hisagar Sangam Tirth. He was an expert scholar in Ved-Vedanta. A son named Aitarey was born to his wife Itara. The child was taught Dwadshakshara Mantra (Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevaya) in the pre-birth of Aitareya. He used to chant this mantra continuously from his childhood. Apart from this chanting, they neither talked to anyone nor listened to anyone! Not even saying anything yourself! Everyone decided that this baby was dumb. Father also often wanted to explain, teach, and study in many ways. But he never felt the mind in worldly dealings.

So even the father began to understand him rudely. He married a woman named Pinga. From which four sons were born ... Aitareya used to go to the temple of Lord Vasudeva and chant this mantra three times a day. One day his mother was very sad to see her mourning sons become scholars and said, 'Hey! You have come to make me miserable! The birth of a woman is useless ... who is cursed by her husband! Whose offspring are not meritorious! I am very unlucky. It is better for me to drown in the confluence of the oceans now. '

Hearing such words of the mother, Dharmagya Utraiyya laughed out loud. First they meditated on the Lord, and then bowed at the feet of the mother and said, 'Mother! You are in a trance! Ignorance is the only knowledge you understand. Which is not worth mourning. For which you are mourning and which is to be considered. There is no grief in your mind for them. Why do you mourn for this body? That is the work of fools. What is in this body? This is full of blood and flesh. Stuck in the bone structure. ' The wise man gives up the fascination of this body. They are released from the cycle of birth and death.

Those who have been addicted to this body. They have to deal with minor conflicts. The organism conceives only through the lust of the body. There he suffers as if trapped between two mountains. Drowning in sea water is exactly what disturbs the fetus. The gastrointestinal tract heats it as if it had been put in a pan of boiling oil! He endured this kind of suffering for eight months. As if a thousand heated needles were piercing all the limbs. It is here that life has memories of previous births. He repents of his pre-existing deeds and resolves to do sadhana now and then. Which prevents re-pregnancy. In infancy the instincts of the senses are incapable. The child has to depend on others.

'Mother! I have taken a vow of celibacy. I have made the innermost being in my heart my guru. That Paramatma is the true brother-friend. I bow to him. Don't be sad I will attain this position that it cannot be reached even after performing hundreds of yagnas ..! Others were very surprised to hear about their son. He started thinking ... where my son's strong devotion as well as education will be known to the people. Then his fame will spread like a perfume all around. My success will also increase. Exactly at this time, Lord Vishnu appeared from the idol with a conch, a wheel, a mace and a padmadhari. Millions of suns had their radiant revolution.

As soon as he saw God, he fell down in prostration. There was a thrill in his body. Tears welled up in his eyes. The pair of hands praised God in a loud voice. Satisfied with their praise, God asked them to ask for blessings, 'Lord! Save me from drowning in the world ocean. Help me become the captain of the helpless. The Lord was pleased with Aitareya and blessed him with Aishwarya and excellent intellect and ordered him to get married. Lord Vishnu ordered and re-entered the idol. Aitareya was born free. By the order of God he went to Shri Haridwar specified Kotitirtha.

The place where a sage named Harimegha used to perform Yajna. Sage Harimegha, knowing his erudition, was very hospitable. Donated a lot of money to the South. His daughter married him. Aitarey said to his mother, 'I was frightened by the faults of the world in my previous life and one day I surrendered to a Dharmatma Brahmin. That supremely gracious Brahma taught me the Dvadsakshara mantra. I was born into an excellent Brahmin clan as the fruit of chanting that mantra. Memory of pre-birth and devotion to Lord Vasudeva is also the fruit of chanting that mantra ... !! '
