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.'
