A SHORT DHARMIC STORY FOR THE EVENING šš
Long ago, a group of people from a village planned a pilgrimage to SRISAILAM, one of the 12 JYOTIRLINGA, where BHAGAWAN SHIVA is in the form of MALLIKARJUNA. Those were the days, when transport was an issue, and pilgrimages were very hectic. While some took Bullock carts, some walked with the entourage. They soon reached SRISAILAM, and had darshan of MALLIKARJUNA, and all went uphill, to have Darshana of the temple SHIKHARA.
It is said in SHIVA PURANA, that all the sins of those who have Darshana of the SHIKHARA of SRISAILAM temple, will be destroyed , and they will be freed from the cycle of birth and death, and will attain Mukti.
" ą¤¶ą„ą¤°ą„ą¤¶ą„ą¤² ą¤¶ą¤æą¤ą¤°ą¤ ą¤¦ą„ą¤·ą„ą¤ą„ą¤µą¤¾ ą¤Ŗą„ą¤Øą¤°ą„ą¤ą¤Øą„ą¤® ą¤Ø ą¤ą¤¾ą¤Æą¤¤ą„"
In Kailasa, Ma Parvati asked Shiva, is it really true that all who have Darshana of SRISAILAM temple SHIKHARA, really attain Mukti, Shiva said let's go and find out, and they went as a very old couple and sat under a tree, where the group of pilgrims was returning back, after SHIKHARA Darshana.
Suddenly, the old woman, started crying out loudly, and called the people, saying that her husband is very sick and thirsty, and that if he isn't given water he will die. All rushed to the old man with water, and the old woman said " Wait. Only water from those, who have no sins on them should give him water, else he will for sure die".
.
All went back thinking that knowingly or unknowingly, they have definitely sinned.
In the group of pilgrims, was a woman, who was a prostitute, and she ran with a small pot of water to the old man. The old woman stopped her and asked are you really sure, you have no sins on you? The woman replied I have done terrible sins all through my life, but I just had Darshana of SRISAILAM temple SHIKHARA, so all my sins are burnt.
As she said this, she alone had the divine Darshan of Bhagawan Shiva and Ma Parvati, and as all the crowd was watching, she merged into the magnificent light of divinity.
