Sri Guru Charitra - By Shri S.N.Huddar

[Guest guest]

Then Shri Guru came to the Audumbar with him. Ganganuj came to his

fields and found a treasure. He got knowledge also. He served Shri

Guru with his wife and children with more devotion thereafter.

Om Magh Poornima Ganganuj said to Shri Guru `It is said that bath at

Kashi and Prayag is very virtuous. How can this be possible for me?

Shri Guru said, `Pancha Ganga Sangam is like Prayag, Jugul is Kashi

and Kolhapur is like Gaya. If you wish to see Kashi-Prayag I shall

show it to you.'

Shri Guru was sitting on a tiger skin. He asked Ganganuj to shut his

eyes and to hold the hind part of the skin firmly and they instantly

reached Prayag in the morning. After having bath they went to Kashi at

midday. They had Darshan of Kashi Vishweshwar and went to Gaya in the

afternoon. They returned to Audumbar by the same evening.

Shri Guru now thought of leaving the place. 64 Yoginis requested him,

Why are you leaving us? All our miseries are wiped off when we see you.'

Shri Guru smiled and said, `I am always at this Audumbar. You live

here happily. Amarpur is also my dwelling place. Those who worship

you, this Audumbar and the Padukas here, all their desires will be

fulfilled, and they will get four purusharthas. One who takes bath at

Papavinashi, Kanya and Siddha Tirthas, worships the Audumbar and these

Padukas for seven days, even if his wife is 60 years old and sterile.

If one recites a mantra, under this Audumbar with a pure mind, it will

be a great virtue. One lakh rounds of this tree will wipe off leprosy

and one's body would be bright as gold. Such is the significance of

this place.'

Saying this, Shri Guru came to Gangapur on the bank of Bhima.

 

Chapter XX

A Brahmani Relieved from Brahmahatya and gets Issues.

Gangadhar, a Vedic-Brahmin lived at Shirol. His wife was devoted and

good-natured. But the misery was that she had no children. She got

issues but they all died after birth in the childhood. She got issues

but they all died after birth in the childhood. She observed fasts and

Vratas, but they bore no fruit.

Some Brahmins said, `This is due to the sin of the previous birth.

Those who commit abortions become sterile. Those who kill a cow or a

horse and take other's wealth, have no issues in the next birth.'

One Brahmin told her `You took some money from a Brahmin of Shounak

Gotra. He asked you to pay the money many times and at last he

committed suicide. He spirit does not allow your issues to live.'

The Brahmin was very sorry to know this. She requested the Brahmin to

suggest means to get relief from the spirit trouble.

The Brahmin said, `After the death of the Brahmin his death rituals

were not performed. You go to the bank of Krishna, observe fast for

one month, bathe in the Papavinashi and worship Audumbar for 7 days,

do Abhishekam to Shri Guru, bathe in the Kamya Tirth and give Rs.100/-

to a Brahmin of Shounak Gotra and observe the death rituals of the

Brahmin Then Shri Guru will protect you.'
