Chapter – 2 – Sri Vinaya Patrika – The
graciousness of Lord Shambhu
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Dheenadhayalo,
Oh! Shankara, you are benevolent, there is no one among the deities generous than you, and
you fulfill all the desires of the worshiper. Oh! Bhagavan, you have destroyed
the Kamadeva who is unconquerable, into ashes, further you have pleased with
the prayers and restored his life without the body, Oh! Bhagavan, you are extremely
compassionate and easily gets pleased to your devotees, why don’t you shower
your compassionate grace upon me? Oh! Thripurari, The Veda eulogizes your glories,
you are the source of Paramagathi, and too kind to even the Keeta, Pathanga/worms, and all lowly creatures, lives on the sacred land of Kashi and provides
liberation which is extremely difficult to achieve, even for the Muniganas,
Sages and Rishis who undertake crores of Yogic practices, extreme Tapasya, and
meditate upon the Supreme Lord Hari. Oh! Parvathipathi, you are too kind to your
worshiper, without knowing your generosity, the ignorant flee to different
directions and never get satisfied.”
Sri Tulsidas Maharaj continues “Lord Bhrama
gets amazed to watch the sudden change in the destiny of the people who have
taken shelter at the lotus feet of Lord Bhavanipathi, and spoke to Paramba Bhagavathi
“Oh! Bhavani, your husband is so innocent, too generous in offering boons to
his worshiper. He is extremely kind to even to the most undeserving people who haven’t
performed any charities in their lives, which is unfavorable to Veda and
scriptures. Oh! Devi, you too so innocent to take notice of it, make sure your
abode does not go empty by his generosity. You have to think about your home
too. Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi and Goddess Saraswathi highly praises the big-heartedness
of your consort, watching the wealth and auspiciousness offered as boons to his
worshiper, and they sing in praise of you too. I am seeing the Jeeva whose pre-written destiny, that does not have a
single line of fortune, or possession of wealth, happiness or not deserved to
achieve any, it is the utter senselessness of your husband I could witness
these wicked and unfortunate Jeevas marching to the heavenly abode with the
grace of your husband. Your husband gets
easily saddened to watch the grief of the Jeeva, he could not bear the sorrows
of the Jeeva, hence I request you to hand over the duty of writing the destiny
of the Jeeva to someone who might probably do well better than me. I am
tired of watching the sheer foolishness of your husband.” Lord Mahadeva smiled
in his mind, listening to the words of Lord Bhrama that was full of love,
admiration, and humbleness, and Goddess Mahadevi Jagathjanani, Bhavani also
smiled at Lord Bhrama. Therefore, it is most appropriate to pray to the supreme
Lord Mahadeva whose sacred abode is in Kashi, he is the Lord of Ashtasidhdhis/Anima,
Gharima, Mahima, Laghima, Eshithvam, Vashithvam, Laghuthvam, Prapthi, Prakamyam,
are his attendants. He is too compassionate, gets easily pleased with the service
of the worshiper. He cannot bear to see his devotees stood before him with
folded hands, whoever stands before him with folded hands would achieve his
grace immediately. Whoever worships Lord Shankara would achieve Sukha,
Sampaththi, Subudhdhi, and Paramagathi easily, whoever take shelter at the lotus
feet of Lord Shiva would get his grace immediately. Oh! Bhagavan, I am a
pauper, kindly give me pure and intense devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Rama
as alms.”
