 Continued From: http://thoughtsonsanathanadharma.blogspot.ca/2014/09/srimadh-bagawatham-krishnas-instruction_25.html

Lord Krishna continued to instruct Udhava. 'Following proper Ahara Niyamam will help develop satva guna. Do not eat anything which is too hot or too cold, too sour, too sweet or too spicy. Don’t eat leftover, don’t eat leftover food eaten by other people or food which hasn’t been offered to me. You will be able to notice the influence of the gunas by observing your characteristic. As soon as you notice the influence of rajo and tamo gunas, correct your habits.

An increase in satva Guna will make you happy, you will have clarity of thought and will be able to complete your tasks properly.

Increase in rajo guna will fuel your desires. You will seek reward for every activity you perform, you will become stingy, greedy and perform pointless activities like fidgeting.

Tamo gunam leads to confusion, ignorance and laziness.’

It is said that Udhavar after obtaining instructions from the Lord returned to Vrindavan where he exists in the form of a creeper next to the Kusuma Sarovar. Udhavar appears before true devotees of the Lord even today.

Srimadh Bagawatham - Krishna’s Instruction To Udhavar Part 9

 Continued From: http://thoughtsonsanathanadharma.blogspot.ca/2014/09/srimadh-bagawatham-krishnas-instruction_21.html

‘Why did you give rajasic and tamasic shastras/karmas? Why didn’t you just give satvik shastras?’ Asked Udhava.

‘You forget that people with rajasic and tamasic tendencies are also my property. In order to make them believe in the Shastras I have to give them what they desire so that slowly they develop an interest in the higher truth. Once a person reaches the satvic rung, they shouldn’t step down to the lower rungs. Hence I have asked you to avoid anything that increases rajasic and tamasic qualities. Listen to the following story.

There was once a man who had an enemy. Unable to bear the enemies torture, the man approached a Vedic scholar.

‘You claim to be a scholar and you state frequently that cures for every problem is there in the Vedas. Can you help me rid my enemy? Is there anything in the Vedas?’

‘There is a abhijara ritual called Senai Yagam. If you perform it, the deity of the Yagam will remove your enemy like an eagle swooping down to snatch its prey.’

The man performed the yagam and he was amazed to learn that his enemy was destroyed. The man lived comfortably for a while, but soon made ten new enemies. He decided that if he was wealthy and moved up the social ladder, the enemies wouldn’t bother him. He once again approached the scholar.

‘Can you suggest any yagam to make me wealthy?’

‘Perform the vayavai Yagam; the wealth present in everyone’s homes will be swept to you.’ The man became wealthy. He married a beautiful maiden, but they had no children. He felt that he will be truly happy if he had a son. He went back to see the scholar.

‘Please suggest a yagam so that I can obtain a son,’

 ‘Perform the putrakameshti yagam.’

The man was soon blessed with a son but his worries increased. He felt that if he went to heaven, he could lead a worry free life. He returned to the scholar. ‘Suggest a yagam by which I can attain heaven,’

‘Perform the Jyothish Homa Yagam.’

The man immediately went to heaven, but as soon as the merit earned by performing the yagam was reduced to zero, he was pushed to fall upon Earth. The man went to see the scholar as he had the ability to recall his past life.

‘I need to be eternally happy. Suggest a ritual through which I can attain perpetual happiness,’

‘There is no ritual for it. Your desire to obtain the perpetual happiness will by itself yield the fruit.’

The scholar then taught the man on ways to attain my divine feet. If in the very beginning the scholar had preached Bakthi Yoga instead of suggesting the Senai Yagam, the man would have not listened to the advice and would have become completely against the Shastras. Thus by giving people what they need, I elevate them slowly but steadily.’ Said Lord Krishna
