Significance of
Varahi Devatha and Guru Dev
Two significant festivals are coming up this July. Both of these festivals are dedicated to
deities who profoundly influence our way of life.
1. Varahi Navaratri
2. Guru Purnima Mahotsav
Varahi Navaratri :
Every year, devotees engage in intense worship for nine days dedicated to important
deities such as Ganapati, Rajashyamala, Varahi, and Durga. Varahi Devi, in particular, is
associated with the Ajna Chakra. She helps control the negative influences within us, regulates
our speech, and protects us from external negativity. She safeguards us in numerous ways.
Phonetically, the syllable "Va" denotes protection, and "Rah" means darkness. Varahi Devi’s
worship is a powerful practice that provides us with protection and rectifies our ignorance.
This goddess is another incarnation of Lakshmi Devi. Some people describe her as an
"intense deity" and say that "worshiping her is fraught with danger." However, this is a very
incomplete perspective. Varahi, another form of Lakshmi, purifies us by removing hidden
impurities within us using her tusks.
In the Lalita Sahasranama, it is mentioned, "Vishukra Prana Harana Varahi Virya Nandita."
Vishukra symbolizes a state devoid of consciousness. Those without knowledge are akin to
lifeless beings. Varahi Devi awakens us from this unconscious state and uplifts us.
Particularly, from Ashadha Shuddha Padyami (July 6 this year) to Ashadha Shuddha
Navami (July 14), the power of this goddess is highly potent. Performing daily worship,
chanting, offerings, homas, and yantra worship of Varahi Devi during these days can yield
excellent results.
There are various mantras for different forms of Varahi Devi, such as Swapna Varahi,
Dhoomra Varahi, Kirata Varahi, and Smashana Varahi. During the upcoming Navaratri,
receiving initiation from a Guru and worshiping either Brihat Varahi or Laghu Varahi can bring
great benefits.
To satisfy Varahi’s energy, offer foods like mashapupamulu (vada), pomegranate seeds,
and chitrannam as symbolic offerings. If household circumstances do not allow for preparation
of these offerings, they can be obtained from those who prepare them with cleanliness and
offered. However, they must be clarified with ghee to remove any other influences.
It is also highly beneficial to perform Suvasini Puja during this Navaratri as per one’s
capacity.
Guru Purnima:
While parents give us birth, it is the Guru who gives us a rebirth with special knowledge. On
the upcoming Ashadha Purnima, it is every devotee’s duty to remember not only the Guru who

4
gave them initiation but also the Param Guru and Parameshti Guru. On this day, regardless of
where we are in the world, we must reach out to the Guru’s presence, worship the Guru with
devotion, and express our gratitude.
According to the verse:
Vande Guru Padadvandvam Avangmanasa Gocharam
Raktha Shukla Prabha Mishram Atarkyam Traipuram Mahah
The power of the Guru’s padukas is indescribable by words or thoughts. It transcends
reasoning and is beyond the mind and speech.
• Guru Mandala Puja
• Shodashopachara Puja with Guru Ashtottara Namavali
• Homam with Guru Mantra
• Reading of Guru Charitra
• Reading of Guru Gita
• Worship of Dattatreya and Dakshinamurti
• Guru Seva as per one’s capacity
• Following the Guru’s teachings
In some form, we must serve the Guru. Because it is the Guru who gives direction and
purpose to our otherwise aimless material life. The letter 'I' in the word 'Shiva' represents the
Guru. Without this 'I', what remains is a 'shava' (corpse). Therefore, on the upcoming Guru
Purnima, everyone who has received initiation from their Guru
should visit, serve, and be blessed by their Gurus!

Sri Devi Khadgamala
Part 11

6
 From now on we will integrate with Nithya devathas.
Nithya Devathas:
1. Kameshwari
2. Bhagamalini
3. Nithyaklinne
4. Bherunde
5. Vahni vasini
6. Maha vajreswari
7. Siva doothi
8. Twarite
9. Kulasundari
10. Nitye
11. Neelapatake
12. Vijaye
13. Sarvamangale
14. Jwalamalini
15. Chitre
16. Mahanithye
Each Nithya devatha is associated with a tithi in the lunar cycle.
Again, each Nithya devatha is associated with a letter from the Panchadashi Mantra.
1. Kameswari
Associated with the first tithi of lunar cycle and “ka” of panchadasi mantra. The
Goddess of the first tithi is Kameswari. One must recite Her mantra only after getting
initiated into that mantra from a Guru. When that is not possible, one can recite:
Aim Hreem Sreem Kameswari devathaayi namah paahimaam rakshamaam
We must recite this mantra for 108 times at the beginning of the day. We can trust that
the Goddess will protect us on that day. So, what does Kameswari do, Kama + Eswari, she
regulates your desires. We are all human beings; we have a lot of desires. But she helps us by
letting us control our desires and have desires that are good for the world.
2. Bhagamalini
The Goddess for the second tithi is Bhagamalini. As we need Guru’s permission to
provide the mantra of this Goddess, so it is not possible to give it here. Bhagamalini – Bhaga
mean surya or Sun. She is wearing a garland of suns. We shouldn’t see sun as a star, but that
she is having the energy of multiple suns. So, when we don’t have desires or when the desires
are merged with he universe, we feel strong. Everybody is strong, but we lose our strength
due to our relationship with family and other desires.

7
 Lalitha Sahasranama says “Visrinkhala vivikthasthaa veeramatha viyatprasoo”. If we
workship her as Veeramatha – she will entangle us from the bondages of relOur hands are ties
with familial relations. We must have a family but should not drowned in the responsibilities.
We get attached to our families and get passionate about various worldly matters.
“Kotisuryasamaprabha” – Bhagamalini means the power of knowledge and consciousness
like a million suns. When we understand this philosophy of Surya, we develop a strong
personality.
Aim hreem sreem bhagamalini devatayai namah pahimam rakshamaam
3. Nithyaklinne
The Goddess of the third tithi is Nithyaklinna. When we have strength and wisdom, we
will have the ability to adapt to various situations. That's why we always say be like water.
Whether the water is kept in a small glass or a large container, the water will take the shape
depending on the situation. This adaptability is what we call as “klinne”. "I am ready for
anything" is the best mantra for peace. If someone hurts us, if we lose money, if someone
cheats us, we need to be able to accept that it's okay. That acceptance is one of the qualities of
water. Water gives us knowledge, water is omnipresent, three-quarters of the earth is covered
by water, only one-fourth is land. Lalita Sahasranama says "Nithyaklinna nirupama nirvana
sukhadaiini". Here Nithyaklinna means every flowing. As our conscience flows, we are
liberated from karma. So, karmas will be erased or reduced.
Another important point is that Nithyaklinna Devata
Mantra is very good for solving menstrual problems in
women. They should recite:
Aim hreem kleem nityaklinna devatayai namah
pahimam rakshamaam.
Both Lalitasahasranama and Khadgamala are full of
mantras. So, Nityaklinna comes in on the third Tithi and she
helps our conscience flow, so that we can accept any
situation and adapt to that situation. When we are with
children, we must behave like a child. When we are with a
wise person, we must properly play our role as a wise person.

Important milestones
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports: Comprehensive project reports have been
prepared for the corporate donors, detailing how our projects align with corporate social
responsibilities. As part of this process, we have identified a couple of donors (companies)
willing to contribute. Efforts are underway to reach out to these companies and engage with
their key stakeholders.

We are reaching out to individuals who are interested to

assist us in obtaining CSR funds.

 SreeMatre Namaha :
SriVidya is considered to be the highest of all the Paths, as the chances to reach the
materialistic and spiritual goals are very high. Nowadays, there are not many Masters who lead
disciples in such a Path, and there are not many places that provide right environment to carry
on the Upasana taught by such Masters. According to Sastras, Upasana when carried on in a
kshetram yields better results.
To make up for this, eminent SriVidya Upasaka Sri Guru Karunamaya, is developing a
SriVidya Jnana Peetham in 9 acres of area, in Kancheepuram, one of the famous Shakti Peethas.
In this Peetham, RajaRajeswari, the main diety of SriVidya, will be seen as a 9 feet idol, seated on
Sadasiva. She will be flanked by the 5 feet idols of RajaSyamala and Varahi, who enhance the
attractive power of the devotees and protect them from negative energies.
Not just that, spacious Yajnasala will be constructed in a traditional way with a variety of
homa kundas. Along with this, a large GoSala, and two pushakarinis will be developed so that
disciples can have conducive facilities for meditating as visualized in the pictures.
Besides Nakshatra Vanam, Oushadha Vanam, a garden will be developed in 3 acres of land
with all the flowers, fruits and plants mentioned for SriVidya Sadhana in the Sastras. Walking in
this garden will solve not only the health issues, but any issues arising from adverse planetary
positions.
Along with all these, cottages will be constructed so that interested disciples can
permanently stay here for their upasana or come occasionally and spend some time.
We humbly request people to come forward and support this divine cause by donating
generously as such a Peetham, will help the upasakas and common people in their spiritual
progress.

Nitya Sandhya Vandanam

Sandhyavandanam is a simple practice that everyone (including women) must do. The
process of Sandhyavandanam involves worshiping the Sun God and thereby invoking
the Gayatri Pranava Shakti within us. It is a duty that everyone must do regardless of
caste, race, gender. Unfortunately, this is taught only to men pf a particular caste. As per
the directive and aspiration of our Pujya Parama Guru Amritananda Natha Saraswati, we
are providing an easy way to make this knowledge accessible to everyone.
It can be practiced by both men and women every day at sunrise for excellent results.

Note: Some mantras are given in Green color below. Those who are able can recite that
mantra or alternatively they can recite Gayatri mantra.
The audio files for this are uploaded on our website: www.srimeru.org/pooja/

Aushadha Lalita Tripura Sundari Temple,

Sembakkam
In today’s times, health problems are affecting everyone. As it is for such people, the Mother
Goddess has appeared in a temple in the form of Lalita Tripura Sundari. The temple is located at
Sembakkam, 50 km from Chennai on the Chennai-Tiruporur-Chengalpet route. (From Chennai to
Tiruporur, the distance is 43 km; from Tiruporur to the temple is 7 km; and from Chengalpet to the
temple is 27 km)
Sri Peetham is the throne of Sri Maha Lalita Tripurasundari. This incomparable unique Sri
Peetha throne is said to be the left lap of her consort and Guru Sri Maha Sadashiva. From this
throne itself, Jaganmata protects and blesses the entire universe.
Sri Swami's lap is the invisible power from where Amma performs
all her mayas.
Sri Shakti appears in three forms at Sri Peetham as under:
1. Shri Bala (small girl)
2. Sri Taruni (Adolescent Girl)
3. Sri Lalita Tripurasundari (Jaganmata)
The Sri Chakra was installed here in 2008. Srimad Aushadha
(Medicinal) Lalita Maha Tripurasundari Vishvarupa Moolika
Swarupam in the form of Ambika with compassion and blessing
all living beings appears here due to Lord Shiva’s grace. Therefore,
Lord Shiva is said to be Sri Lalita.

18
 She appears as the ‘Srinagara
Samrajyadayini’ in a golden chariot at
Srichakrarajasabha in Sripeetham, which
is in the second avarana of
Kancheepuram.
Goddess Hari, Hara and Ambika, the
embodiment of the three forms, is
created from colorless and chemical-free
herbs. After several hundreds of years,
due to Ambika's grace, under the
guidance of various seers and sages,
Amma's form took shape here. It is
consecrated following siddha practices
and performing kunda mandala yagams.
Several banalingams, saligramas,
Srichakrams of Ambika and Tripura
Chakras are enshrined in the sacred form
of the Medicinal Lalita Tripurasundari.
Thus, the most powerful form of Tripura
Sundari is blessing the devotees here.
Sri Lalita Maha Tripurasundari idol
is nine feet tall showing her Vishwaroopa

having an Ankusha (Sri Aswarudha Shakti) in

the front two hands and Pashams (Sri
Sampatkari Shakti) in the rear hands with a
Panchabana (Sri Varahi Shakti) and a Cane
(Shrimatangi Shakti). Another wonderful
sight is the form of Tithinitya deities on the
left side of the stairs as one goes to visit the
Aushada Lalita Tripura Sundari Devi seated
on the top most floor.
It is connected by steps which is very
helpful for the devotees.

 Remedies

Relief from Bone-related Pains

Some of us have repeated accidents that might damage bones and make us confined to
bed. No matter how careful you are, you will always experience some kind of bone-related
pain. Although there are many remedies for this, let's look at two of the simplest and most
powerful remedies.
1. The energy in the bones is said to be associated with Saturn. When this energy is
lacking, bone loss (Osteoporosis) or other problems can occur. Then this problem is mostly
solved by appeasing Shaneshwar in the form of a lamp, mantra japa or performing
Abhishekam.
Follow this procedure -
Make black wicks (wicks made of black cloth), put a pinch of black sesame seeds at the
end of the wicks, pour sesame oil in the deepam, put the wick and light it. Recite the
Shaneshwara Mantra given below 19 times, thinking of receiving the lamp light through the
Ajna Chakra (i.e. forehead).
“Om Shamagni ragni bhiskaraschanna Stapatu Suryah Sam Vaatovaa Tvarapaa
Apahsritah Sanesvarayainamah Pahimam Rakshamam”
By doing this in the same place at the same time every day, one can stimulate
Shaneshwara Shakti.
Apart from this, one should chant Shaneshwara Mantra not less than 108 times every
day.
2. Another Remedy – To perform Abhishekam with Rudra Namaka Chamkam with
Sesame oil to Shivlinga. It is beneficial if performed in the Pradosha kala i.e. starting half an
hour before sunset.
3. Lalita Sahasranama contains seven mantras related to the seven elements. In it the
mantra related to bones is “Muladharambujarudha panchavaktra asthi sansthita”. By
chanting Lalitha Sahasranama with this mantra to invoke the power of Goddess
concentrated in the bones, performing Kumkum puja to Goddess daily and wearing that
Kumkum on the forehead, one can overcome the problem. It is advised to follow this for at
least 90 days at one time in one place.
The audio of this mantra can be obtained through the link below.

 Q&A
Q1. Why should I imagine the mother within me in an idol and worship her outside?
Answer:
Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma..
Indugaladanduledani sandehamu valadu…
Antarbhishcha Tatsarvam Vyapya Narayana Stithah….
Even though the Shastras are proclaiming it many times, it is impossible to see and
experience God within ourselves and in this material world. This is not our fault. This is
Mother Goddess's maya. Without it, the world cannot function.
Therefore, those who have devotion, care and faith in God invoke that Bhagavat Shakti from
the universe or from within one’s self into an idol or Yantra and worship. By this means, it is
easy for our thoughts to perceive an infinite power beyond words in a finite body, a finite idol
or a yantra. Therefore, even though there is God within us, worship is done especially by
invoking the idol or Yantra.
Q2. Is it wrong to accidentally touch the idol or yantra of God with feet?
Answer:
Accidentally, if we touch an idol or a yantra with our feet, that makes us feel we committed a
mistake essentially indicates one’s devotion towards the Lord present in that idol. In fact,
many people pray that when they wake up in the morning, when they put their feet on the
ground, they say the mantra “Bhumoskalita paadaanaam…” and pray, Mother, I am
knowingly touching you with my feet, forgive me. This should be seen as a way of increasing
our devotion, but should not be seen as something wrong.
Q3. In everything I do, am I harming the rest of the living beings in this nature! Isn't this
wrong?
Answer:
It is true that many microbes die when we breath in air. It should be noted here that we are
not entirely responsible for some of the mishaps that occur due to the involuntary breathing
process. By the inspiration of Bhagavat, the breath takes place.
Therefore, we need to see whether we are harming someone knowingly and intentionally, or
without our involvement – such as when some insects fall under our feet and die while
walking – we are not fully responsible for the mishaps that happen. That's why when
chanting the forgiveness mantra, it means that it is good for whatever reason,
Anangynatham, Yadagynatam – meaning protect me from the wrongs done knowingly or
unknowingly.

 Experiences of Sadhakas

The experience gained in peetham

Sri Gurubhyo Namaha
I bow at the lotus feet of my revered Guru
and humbly present my experiences of
sadhana.
Guruji, it has been about 5–6 years since I
came under your guidance. Last May, Chinmayi
and I came to the Peetham for seva. The
experiences of sadhana that unfolded slowly
over six years occurred intensely in those 15
days at the Peetham, filling my mind with
indescribable thoughts. We followed the tasks
given by Amma, Guru, and Vishalamma. Upon Avancha Kalavati , Chinmayi
returning home, I realized the profound changes within me—a mind and intellect as calm and
silent as a serene lake, filled with the joy of lotus flowers. Even when interacting with others, the
beautiful feeling remained intact. This transformation was due to being in the divine presence of
Amma and Guru.
After returning from seva, I noticed a remarkable peace and stability in my mental state, free
from the previous unrest and sorrow. Although the external circumstances remained the same, the
transformation occurred within me. Guruji had mentioned sharing some sayings during seva, but
this time, due to the Peetham's shifting activities, Guruji was very busy, and we couldn't find time
to talk. Everyone was occupied with their assigned tasks. The change occurred because Guruji, like
Dakshinamurthy, silently showered us with the flow of knowledge. The impurities within me
burned in Guruji's compassionate light, illuminating me like a pure flame. Just as a tree emerges
from a seed, my ignorance was removed, and the tree of happiness began to sprout. This is true
fortune!
During the Guru Mandala Puja, japakanthi blossomed like lotus flowers, spreading over the
padukas, revealing the compassionate Sri Guru with Arunamba, saying, "I am with you, see!" I am
blessed, Gurudev!
As part of the Peetham service, I had the fortune of serving Usha Amma. I humbly presented
my good and bad to Amma during work. One morning, I went to Amma, who was in puja, and
casually mentioned my concerns. The next day, Amma handed me a picture of Hanuman and
instructed me to perform Anjaneya Tail Puja for 40 days. I started the Tail Puja on Hanuman
Jayanti, following Amma's guidelines strictly. Exactly 20 days later, my son got a job. It was
unbelievable but true. Returning home with Amma's blessings, I was filled with immense joy.
Guruji, I never imagined that the short time spent with Amma would be so invaluable. This is
why Guruji insists that we all visit the Peetham. Now I understand why—to uplift us. I will never
forget the experiences at the Peetham with Guruji.

23
 Experiences of Sadhakas

Pachandasi Experiences
Sri Gurubhyo Namaha,
Sri Matre Namaha,
My name is Kiranmayi, and I received the Panchadasi mantra from Guruji a year ago in
London. Since then, I have experienced a significant transformation. Panchadasi is the
mantra of Goddess Lalitha Tripura Sundari, who is known as Bhoga Moksha Pradayani. She
grants material pleasures and spiritual liberation. Even without asking, you may receive many
material gains. However, there is a catch: if you become attached to these material gains, your
spiritual practice can be completely disrupted, causing you to fall back to the Muladhara
chakra. Rising again becomes very difficult.
If you accept these gains as her Maya (illusion) and do not get attached, real
transformation begins within you. Otherwise, you remain an ordinary human being. My
Guruji says that regardless of life's difficulties, never leave the holy feet of the Divine Mother.
From the time I received the Panchadasi mantra, my thought process has changed
significantly. Panchadasi connects us with people around us, with our soul, and with the
Paramatma (Supreme Soul) within us. You begin to show love towards all beings. This mantra
teaches us that our joy and happiness lie in being one with all. Even if someone speaks
negatively about you or harms you, you show compassion towards them. You no longer get
angry for what they have done. Ultimately, nobody is perfect; we all have different natures,
just as the Divine Mother has different avatars.
We should help each other and solve the puzzle of life rather than competing and feeling
jealous of others' successes. When we think like the Divine Mother, we experience divinity
within us. For example, if two people with the same interests meet and their thoughts align,
they experience the same things together. This transference means an expansion of your
consciousness to include the other being as part of yourself, allowing both to experience the
same thoughts without speaking. This is called Digambara Tatvam.
There are three conditions for true, fruitful worship of the Goddess Mother:
1. Shed the desire for wealth
2. Shed the desire for women (sensual pleasures)
3. Shed the desire for worldly success
This is called real Saubhagyam. True happiness comes from gaining knowledge from
your Guru and sharing it with others. Real happiness comes from donating to those in need,
seeing someone heal from pain, and feeding the needy. These actions provide permanent
happiness, unlike temporary pleasures like vacations, good food, and movies, which do not
24
bring lasting satisfaction.
Don't you think the whole universe is communicating with you? From the time we
wake up until we sleep, and even in our dreams, the universe communicates with us every
minute and every second. Pay attention to these signals, observe the patterns in your
thoughts throughout your daily activities.
We should know that where there is worldly enjoyment, there is no salvation, and
where there is salvation, there is no enjoyment. For the great worshippers of the Divine
Mother, both worldly enjoyment and salvation are at hand.
Humans, when stuck in the body, are called Jiva. Jiva does not understand anything.
By chanting the Panchadasi mantra, we slowly realize our true self. Regular chanting and
understanding the meaning of the mantra helps us overcome weaknesses produced by our
sensory and action organs. This leads us towards the path of consciousness and self-
realization. "Asatoma sad-gamaya" means "lead me from untruth to truth." Here, our
body is untruth, or Maya. We often fall into the world's Maya. Truth is light, and
enlightenment is the truth of life. We must remove darkness from our lives. Darkness is
Tamas Guna (quality of ignorance). Ego is Tamas. We should move our consciousness from
darkness to light.
"Mananaat trayathe iti mantram" means those who always chant the mantra will
know the paradevata (supreme deity). In Panchadasi, there are three Kutas: Vagbhava Kuta,
Kamaraja Kuta, and Shakti Kuta. Vagbhava Kuta gives Brahma Varchassu (spiritual
radiance) and good nature. Kamaraja Kuta gives desired results. Shakti Kuta gives
Moksham (liberation).
As I decoded the meaning of the Panchadasi mantra, I found it directly linked with
Nitya Devatas. This mantra belongs to Goddess Lalitha Tripura Sundari. The first set of
Panchadasi mantra says the Divine Mother had a desire to create the universe with the
power of illusion (Maya). This is bliss, and those who chant this set of Panchadasi
transform from normal human beings to Brahma themselves.
The second set says that once creation is done, the Divine Mother preserves the
creation with her sustenance Shakti. She energizes the whole universe to preserve it. This
perseverance is bliss. When an upasaka (devotee) chants this set of Panchadasi, they
transform into Vishnu.
The third set says the Divine Mother absorbs everything she created and shows the
origin or source from where we have come. This is bliss. Those who chant the Panchadasi
mantra slowly transform into the Divine Mother herself, Lalitha Tripura Sundari. Tripura
represents the three sets in Panchadasi, and Sundari means she makes us realize that our
sorrows and sufferings are delusions of our minds, misconceptions born out of ignorance
and ego. When we realize the truth, we start loving everything. She is the power of spiritual
knowledge (Jnana Shakti).
The simple meaning of the Panchadasi mantra is that it explains the three roles of life:
creation, sustenance, and destruction, thereby removing ignorance and ego in devotees by
increasing love in their hearts for everything around them without attachment. This
mantra represents the knowledge of the supreme self.

25
 The regular chanting of Panchadasi makes the person's mind like the full moon
(Poornima) with all the Chandra Kalas (phases of the moon) in it.
All Nitya Devatas reside inside your mind, and we become Shodasi Mahanitya (Aham
Shodasi Mahanitya Sri Padukam Poojayami Tarpayami Namaha).
I thank my Guruji for giving me Diksha (initiation) of the Panchadasi mantra and
allowing me to share my insights on "Transformation with Panchadasi.” Disciple of Guruji

The Donkey's
Salutation
In the court of Sri Krishna Devaraya, the
Prathana Guru Sri Tatacharya had a habit. If he m
et anybody from other caste on his way, that too i n
the presence of his courtiers, he would cover his face with a cloth
and go ahead. The others who noticed this got very angry. But n o o n e
dared to tell this to the King.
A few discussed the matter with Tenali Ramakrishna. They informed Tenali
Ramakrishna that the sentiments of others were being hurt due to Tatacharya's strange
behavior and he should come up with some trick so that Tatacharya would not have behave
this way. Tenali Ramakrishna said ok and sent them away. One day Tenali Ramakrishna
asked Tatacharya about the same thing. He prayed to be told why he was covering his face
like that.
Tatacharya said, “all of them are sinners, we shouldn’t even see their face. If we see their
face, we will be reborn as animals. And especially he said that one has to be born as a
donkey.”
Tenali Ramakrishna said ok and left.

28
 A few days later, Srikrishna Devaraya, while traveling with his courtiers, was crossed by a
herd of donkeys. Tenali Ramakrishna, who was waiting for a good moment, immediately went
to the group of donkeys and started saluting each donkey one by one.
All those who saw this noticed him in surprise. Srikrishna Devaraya asked Ramakrishna
why he was doing that. Tenali replied, “Maharaja, these donkeys are not ordinary. All these are
the family members of our Tatacharya in the past life. See, this donkey was the grandfather of
Tatacharya in his previous life. And this is Tatacharya’s brother.”
Hearing this, the Tatacharya got angry. Tatacharya scolded Tenali Ramakrishna saying
how dare you talk about our ancestors like this. He told Maharaja that Tenali Ramakrishna is
insulting him and his ancestors.
Immediately Tenali Ramakrishna apologized to the King and said, “I do not mean to insult
him or his family members. However, the Tatacharya himself told me this one day”.
Tatacharya asked angrily “what is the matter?”
Tenali Ramakrishna replied, “same, you
said that if you see people of other castes, you
will be born as a donkey in the next.”
Srikrishna Devaraya, who understood
the matter, asked Tatacharya whether it was
true what he said. The Tatacharya replied that
it is true.
“There are no caste differences in my
kingdom. Everyone is equal to me,” said
Srikrishna Devaraya and warned that anyone
who does not follow this rule will be punished.
Tatacharya realized his mistake and
sought Maharaja's forgiveness. Since then,
the Tatacharya did not go around with his face covered.
Moral of the story:
It is very wrong to separate human beings on the basis of differences like caste, religion,
color.
