    அனுமான் பிறப்பு

    (இந்திர லோகத்தில் ரம்பை, ஊர்வசி, மேனகை, திலோத்தமை-இல் ஒருவர் அல்லது ஐந்தாவது நபராக கூட இருக்கலாம். பெயர் தெரியவில்லை.)

    .... வாயு பகவான் மெல் கொண்ட காதலால் மனம் சஞ்சல பட்டு ஒரு முனிவரை மதிக்காமல் நடந்துக்கொள்ள, முனிவரின் சாபத்தால் சஞ்சல புத்தி உள்ள வானரமாக மாறுகின்றாள். அதே போல் ஒரு அரசனும் சாபத்தால் வானரமாக மாறுகின்றான். இருவரும் ஈசனை பிறார்த்திக்க, அவர்கள் முன் பிரசனமாகும் இறைவன் ஒரு பிறவி மனித வானரமாக வாழ்ந்து, என் ருத்ர அவதாரத்திற்கு தாய் தந்தையாக வாழ்ந்து சாப விமோட்சம் பெறும் வழி கூறி மறைகின்றார்.

    அடுத்த பிறவில், அந்த அரசன் "கேசரி" என்ற பெயருடன் வானர அரசனாக பிறக்கின்றான். "அஞ்சனை" யை மணக்கின்றான். இருவருக்கும் பிள்ளை இல்லாததால், அஞ்சனை திருமலையில் சிவனை நோக்கி விரதம் இருந்து அனுமனை பெற்றெடுக்கிறாள். இதலால், அனுமனை "அஞ்சனை புத்திரன்" என்று அழைக்கின்றனர்.

    I am not sure, whether it really happened in MAHABARATHA or not... I heard this story, somewhere (didnt remember that) i felt, its one of the best example about KARNA.

    The story starts here:

    Udhishtra felt sad, cause both he & karna donates to poor people. But, all praised karna as a DHANAAM PANNAVE PIRADHAVAR.

    He felt that both are same then how he is special than him... He decided to ask about this doubt to krishna...

    Krishna felt this, he decided to prove KARNA is greater than him in helping tendency... He met Udhishtra and said that, I decided to do a YAGA so, i need a dry wood for fire.

    Udhishtra felt that, its very important. If he send employees, maybe there is a possibility to get wet woods. so, he decided to go straightly... He got an axe and went to forest and bring some dry woods...

    Krishna kept all in his place and went to KARNA. He said the same to him also... He took up his axe and cutted the door & window which was made by wood. he gave it to krishna...

    Now, krishna back to udhishtra place with door & window and showed that to him.

    He said that donation is a part of your life.. but thats a life for karna.

    unnala edhu mudiyumo adha kodukuradhu, DHARMAM.
    kekuravanga virupathauku kodukuradhu, DHAANAM.

    udhishtrar seidhadhu dharmam. aanal, karnan seidhadhu dhaanam.

    there was a great sage , who performed great tapas for many years , surviving only on leaves of plants.

    one day , while cutting leaves, he accidently cut himself. But instead of blood comming out , he bled sap , from trees.

    at once he became greatly conceited and soon his heart was clouded by pride , he began to think to himself what a great devotee he must be to have bled instead of blood .

    he was thinking to himself thus when lord shiva appeared before him in the form of an old brahmin. the brahmin approched the sage and greeted him . the sage could not resist but to tell the brahmin of the incident which occured with his bleedng sap.

    after listening to all the sage had to say , the brahmin then cut his own finger. to great amazment , instead of blood , ashes .

    at the sight of this the sage immediately was free from all pride .
    when sap is burned it becomes ashes , so one could only imargine the great devotion that the brahmin posessed .

    the brahmin then revieled himself to the sage and freed him from his own pride...

    I do not know where to ask this question.

    My question is..

    We all know, Sati was the daughter of dhaksha who disrespected shiva by not inviting shiva for his yagna. Some ppl finish the tale by saying, Sati went back to shiva with remorse / guilt and shame, had a heavy argument with shiva, who then burnt her with his 3rd eye, hence forth she rose again from those ashes to become ardhaangini (better half) of shiva.

    However, another version has that,

    Sati was humiliated by her father when she went to his yagna, she later felt immensely grieved due the disrespect given for her husband and herself, hence gave up her body by invoking yogic flames , right there at daksha's yagna.

    While giving up her body, she prayed, she would take another birth as a daughter of a father whom she would be PROUD of, and then attain shiva.

    The story further goes, she is born as the daughter of HIMAVAN and named parvathi, who with her penance won shiva's heart once again. This time, She united with shiva, never ever to part again.

    So what exactly is Sati's story? Did she give up her body or did shiva burn her to ashes?

    Is giving up body equal to suicide? Was it not considered sin?

    Is it true, that hence forth, any woman who gave up the body(when healthy) was then said to have followed sati (sati practice)?

    Suicide is decried as sinful only in Christian thought and people who committed suicide have been denied a proper burial.

    The general attitude towards suicide in Hindu mythological stories has never been too harsh. There are many tales of people committing suicide and then being blessed with moksha or reinstatement of life after the "um bakthiyai yaam mechinOm".

    Every Hindu master would say suicide is not appropriate. They would go as far to say its like throwing God's gift back on his face, I guess.

    General accepted idea is that one would return to the same circumstances that one tried to escape from, reflecting the idea that the outer world is but a reflection of the inner world.

    Love and Light.
