🌻 The story of Vendanta Sharma - 1 🌻
I and Dharma Gupta took the anklets of Sripada gifted to us, as mahaprasadam and continued our journey. All the night the melodious sound of the anklets was reverberating in our hearts. We have heard that one hears ‘Om karam in the anaahata chakra of the heart.
But the whole night yesterday, we were hearing the sound of Sricharana’s anklets in our hearts like a music with ‘raga’ and ‘taala’. The Shakti was felt passing from ‘anaahata’ to others ‘chakras’. While it was happening, we felt that some new power has entered in all the nerves.
While we were walking, the sound of anklets was being heard. When we stopped, it was also stopping. Meanwhile, it appeared that there was an ashramam in the fields there and a village nearby. Chandaalas live outside the village.
We were wondering how an ‘ashramam’ had come to be there. When we reached the ashramam, the sound of anklets stopped. We had an intusion that a great spiritual experience was going to be experienced.
Meanwhile, one 60 year old Maharshi with divine glow come out of the ashramam. Next, one 30 year old ‘yogini matha’ came out. They both took us inside with honours.
The Maharshi started telling. “My name is Vedanta Sharma. I was initially a resident of Peethikapuram. Now I am being called Bangaraiah. Her name is Bangaramma. By birth I am a Brahmin.
She is by birth a leather woman. We have Mathangi Peetham in our house. We are worshipping Mathangi, one of the ‘Dasa Maha Vidyas’ here.” I shivered. He says he is a Brahmin. She is said to be a Madiga woman.
How can their marriage be bound by dharma? We were given fruits and tuberous roots for eating. Bangaraiah said, ‘Sirs! When Arundhathi requested Vashishta to marry her, the Maharshi said that she should not object to whatever he did to her body. She agreed. ‘Rundhanam’ means objection.
Maharshi burnt her seven times and brought her to life seven times. Even then, she did not object. So, she became ‘Arundhathi’. The Maharshi took her as his ‘dharma patni’. When I was in Peethikapuram, I got married three times. Three wives died. I was upset for my fate.
Sripada humourously used to say ‘Thaha! I saw another ‘mamma’ (grand mother) for you. If you take her as ‘dharma patni’ without marrying, I will grant you a higher janma’. Bapanarya was the Chairman of Brahmana Parishad in Peethikapuram. The Brahmins requested to arrange a conference of Veda Pundits under the Parishad.
It was thought that some decisions had to be taken about dharma karmas after discussing some subtle points. It was decided to invite pundits from distant places and from agraharam also. The responsibility of selecting the invitees was given to me. Sripada, after ‘upanayanam’, did not recite the Veda lessons, even one day.
He never sat with his father or grandfather and learnt ‘santa’. But if anyone asked to say a particular ‘pannam’ for testing, he used to say that immediately. Sripada knew everything that Bapanarya knew.
He knew not only Veda, but also Vedantam and the secrets of Veda also. So I decided to invite Sripada also to the Parishad. But the plan of the Brahmins was different. Grand arrangements were being made for the conference. The dharma shastra would be discussed thoroughly.
