Mandavya and Dharma

🙏SHUBODAYAM🙏

🕉️🙏Jai Shriram🙏🕉️

28/8/23 Morning’s SHORT DHARMIC STORY:


One day, a great sage MANDAVYA, was immersed in meditation outside his ashram. Suddenly some dacoits, chased by the king's soldiers, entered his ashram hid themselves along with loot. The soldiers reached the ashram and saw sage MANDAVYA meditating. They asked Mandavya, “Did you see the dacoits passing by?” The sage, who was absorbed in meditation, remained silent. They searched the ashram and caught the Thieves along with the stolen loot.


The dacoits lied to Soldiers that the sage was in fact the head of the dacoits in the guise of a sadhu, and that he threatened to kill them if they didn't do whatever he said. The soldiers took the sage MANDAVYA along with the dacoits and presented all of them in front of the king.


The king was very angry to know that a dacoit had put on the garb of a sage to deceive the world. Without cross-checking or giving a chance to present himself his case the king passed the judgment and ordered Rishi MANDAVYA, to be impaled SHOOLA DANDANA (where a person is made to sit on a sharp erected tall sphere) The king’s men impaled Mandavya on a spear in public Square.


Such were the powers of the Sage, he remained alive, and many Rishis & Munis were visiting him to pay their Reverence, when king Learned about these things he came running to the sage, surprised and frightened, and prayed for forgiveness.


Mandavya was not angry with the king, he went straight to YAMA DHARMA RAJA, and asked, “What crime have I committed to deserve this torture?”

Yama Dharmraj replied in all humility, that when he was 7 years old. He pierced sharp thorns into little birds, butterflies and bees just for fun, and the consequences of that sin resulted as a punishment and humiliation.


MANDAVYA maharshi said "Yama Dharmaraj. you sit on the pedestal of Dharma & You should have very well known that the mistakes committed by anyone below 8yrs, are not accounted for. You have Committed a Grave Mistake & For which you will take birth in the Mortal world.”


As cursed by sage MANDAVYA,

YAMA DHARMA RAJ Took birth as VIDURA, as a son of Vichitravirya & his servant maid Ambalika (thus he was the stepbrother of Dhritarashtra of the Kaurava clan)
