Bhagawatham-11- The Ekadasam
Om Namo Narayanaya
Once all the Yadu Rajakumaras playfully made Samban the son of Jambhavathi as a pregnant lady and took him to the Munivaryas of Vishwamitra,Kanva,Durvassa,Brugu, Angira,Kashyapa,Vasishta and Narada and asked them what child the Samban will deliver,boy or girl. These Munishreshtas by their Divya Dhrushti came to know the foul and cursed the Yadubalas that ......Janayishyathi vo Manda Musalam Kulanashanam" that she will deliver a Musalam which will be Kulanasanam of the Yadu Vamsa. To their surprise they found one big Iron Nail in the made-up stomach of Samban and though they grinded the same the small remaining piece of it was thrown into the sea which was swallowed by a fish and one fisherman got it after a days fishing. This pice of nail happened to be the part of a bow which hit Krishna later and became the Karana bootha of Krishna's Vaikuntaarohanam.
Kapotho ajagara: sindhu: pathango madukrut gaja:,
Madhuha harino meena: pingala kurarorbaka:,
Kumari sharakrut sarpa urnanabhi: supesakrut"
Avadhootha expalined how these Jagat bhoothas taught him one or more lessons and how he was indebted to them for these knowledges.
In the Mahabharatha Yuddha, Arjuna wanted to run away from the battle field to become a Sanyasi instead of killing all these people including his relatives,but Krishna asked him to fight the battle telling him that it was his duty as a Kshatriya and made the Geethopadesam to him at the battle field. Here Krishna's best friend and his minister Uddhava wanted to stay with Krishna in the ruling of Dwaraka, but Krishna gave him the Upadesam - known as Uddhava geetha and asked him to go to the Badarinath and do the Meditations there,there by giving his Punyams to the people worshipping at the Badari Shrine. This upadesam of Krishna contained all the Karmayoga , Bhakthi Yoga and the Sanyasa Yoga and also the Bhagawath Upasana Karmas and all.
The Nava Yogeshwaras, Kavi, Hari, Anthariksha, Prabudha, Pippalayana,
Avirhotra,Drumila,Chamasa and Karabajana appeared together at the court of King Nimi of Videharajya and on the king's request made many advises to him. Kavi Yogi said whatever we do, we have to give the karma phalam to the God Krishna as we normally pray..."Kayena vacha.......Narayanayethi Samarpayethath".Hari Yogi said that the one who saw the God in each and every thing is the Bhagawathothama-he is the greatest of Bhagwathas. The yogishwaras went on telling that the best way to please the God is to keep his Names chanting all the times and the Namasankeerthanam was the only hope to survive in this Kali yuga. It is the easiest way of all to attain the God as this nama japam has no restrictions of any kind . It can be done at any time and by any method one wished.
Once Bhakthas asked the Kanchi Sankaracharya(Periyaval) Chandrasekhara Saraswathi Swamigal, why he was called the Jagatguru,or was he the Guru of all this Jagat for which Swamigal answered that he was not the guru of this Jagat, but this Jagat is his Guru. In the Bhagawatham too,, the Avadhootha Geetha says the same- the 24 material things in this world as his gurus.....thus...
