My dear friends and like minded persons

 

Reg: The great Sages of India – No 3-Shri Pulastya Maharishi

 

Sometimes between my principle of just writing only a page each time

in a simple and shortest possible manner and the desired description

which runs into volumes, I get confused. I too consider myself very

fortunate to have uttered the names of the Great Sages of Indian

Origin, my eye brows up, my pen runs fast to write more and more of

those fathers, fore fathers with a highest degree of gratitude, for,

they remained themselves dedicated to the cause and well being of

the Society. My life, even if I live for a hundred years and write

the history of each sage a day, only a negligible percentage of

sages of Indian Origin can be brought to the information of all of

you.

 

The great Brahma – Pulastya Maharishi was bon at the instance of

Brahma to increase the generations. Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatana and

Sanatkumara – refused to accept family life... He created

Swayambhuva Manu and Sataroopa who gave birth to the ruling

community. The eleven Rudraas generated from the fore head did not

accept family life. Thereafter, Atri and Kratu were born out of

Eyes; Aruni from Nose; Angirasa from face; Bhrugu from the right

part of the body; Daksha from the left part; Naarada from Neck; and

Pulastya from right ear, Pulaha from left ear. This way the Nine

Brahmaas took birth. At that time Kardama Prajapathi decided to

offer his nine daughters to the Nine Brahmaas and offered Havirbhuvu

to Pulastya Brahma. They gave birth to Agastya and lived only for a

while and then again reborn.

 

Sometime later Pulastya Brahma started living in the Ashram of

Trunabindu. Due to the continuous disturbances caused by the young

ladies in the ashram, Pulastya Brahma gave a curse that which ever

lady enters his ashram shall become instantly pregnant. Incidentally

the daughter of Trinabindu entered that zone and became pregnant.

At the request of Trinabindu, Pulastya Brahma married her and

granted her a boon of becoming father of a great scholar. Thus

Visravasu was born who in turn married Devavarni and gave birth to

Kubera and through Kaikasi; he gave birth to Raavana, Kumbhakarna,

Vibhishana and Surpanakha.

 

Ravanaa was defeated by Kartaveeryaarjuna and he was jailed.

Knowing this Pulastya Brahma instructed Kaartaveeryaarjuna to

release his grand son

 

Vasista and Viswamitra were opposite personalities. Viswamitra

killed all the sons of Vasista and one among the dead is the great

sage Sakti. His wife was pregnant and gave birth to the great sage

Parasara. This great sage, on knowing the Taamasa Guna of the

Demons, performed Satra Yaaga and killed many such demons. His

grand father Vasista requested him to stop all the killing and work

for the peace of the globe, this sage turned out to remain calm. At

the same time, he was also blessed by his great grand father

Pulastya Brahma.

 

During dwapara Yuga, when Bhishma was performing Adhyayana Vrata,

Pulastya Brahma appeared before him and blessed him. He specified

that his mere appearance is a boon and requested Bhishma to take any

boon from him. Thus Bhishma requested for the necessity of Yaatra

and Teerthas in the Holy County .

 

We are fortunate, the information relating to various places and the

results after the darshan of such places, has come out of the mouth

of Pulastya Brahma, Bhishma being instrumental for this. He said

that Pushkar Teertha is emporer of all Teerthaas. Jambumarga,

Tandulikaashram, Agastya Saras are capable of granting the result of

Shri Aswamedhayaagam; Kanvaashram, Dharmaaranyam grant us release

from all sins; a bath in Narmada, Dakshina Sindhu, Charmanvati

gives results of Agnistomam; Vasistaashram, Pingala Teertha,

Prabhasa Teertha, Saraswathi Sagar Sangam, Pindaaraka Teertha in

Dwaravathi City are capable of granting immense strength;

Worshipping of Lord Shiva in Sanku Karneswara is capable of granting

the result of ten Shri Aswamedhayaagaas; Sakra Kumari , Sri

Kunjaram, Vimalam, Malaharam, Devika, Rudra Teertham, Vinasanam,

Sasa Roopa Pushkaram, Rudra Koti are of all greatness; when only

Kurushetra is capable of grarnting all powers. Aswini Teertham,

Soma Teertham, Raama Hradam , Prudhudakam are capable of granting

brahma loka .

 

He said that those who are non capable of maintaining fast; the one

who abuses the boons of the creator like using undesirable words

with the tongue, seeing undesirable matters through the eyes and so

on and ultimately HE DESCRIBED HOW BEST A BOON OF LIFE BE CONVERTED

INTO A REAL BOON AND HOW IT TURNS OUT INTO A HELL WHEN ABUSED.

Pulastya Brahma is a Dharma Sasta and his works are well noted as

Pulastya Smruthi and incidentally this part is not available. He

said that at the time of offering oblations, donating of vegetable

and honey grants peace to the departed souls and the main text to a

certain extent is available in Mitaakshara. Gnana and Karma are the

two wings of a human being in case any one is interested to fly to

new spheres, and this is the greatness of Pulastya Brahma. He is

Smruthi Karta, Brahma, Mahaarishi, Sarvagna, and worshipped by all

Divine Forces.

We are fortunate to have been born on such a holy Land where

Thousands and Lakhs of Mahaarishis lived for the welfare of the

society and they lived and gave up their lives only and only for

such a noble cause How many of the Teerthaas we could see, we could

hear and we have visited – life is short, don't you agree..

I shall come back with the history of another sage soon.
