Sri Vinaya Pathrika – Sri Tulsidas Maharaj – Sharanagathi to get freed from Garbhavasadhi Dhukham

 



Chapter - 119 -Sri Vinaya Patrika  – Sharanagathi to get freed from the Garbhavasadhi Dhukham

 

Sri Tulsidas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Prabho, where do I go? Whom do I seek protection from the sufferings and grief of Samsara? Who will listen to this Jeeva who has not followed any of the austerities, vows, celibacy, Shama, Dhama, Sathyam, Shaucham, Astheyam, Arjjavam, Athmavichara, Swadhyaya, etc..? Oh! Prabho, you are the safest asylum in the three worlds for the Sadhanaheena Jeeva who have been drenched in worldly matters, bodily pleasures, Ahamkara, Mamakara, etc. Oh! Jagadeesh, you are that all-pervasive supreme Bhramam, you are the essence of the Universe and its living and non-living things, you are the protector of the same, hence whoever taken shelter at your lotus feet would easily cross the unfathomable ocean of Samsara.  Oh! Prabho, you have rushed to save the Gajaraja/elephant who cried for help when he was all alone struggling to pull out the leg stuck in the mouth of the crocodile, he was abandoned by his family and friends after a long battle, Oh! Prabho, you are the one rushed to save him, leaving your celestial vehicle Garuda. Oh! Prabho, you have protected the Papabhandar/storehouse of sins, like this Jeeva from the mother’s womb, and continued to protect till date I have been ungrateful to you, drenched in Mahamoha, attached to material welfare and people. Oh! Prabho, I am that Kuputhra, Kroora, and worthless Jeeva, Oh! Prabho, you have performed the final rite of Jatayu and liberated him from the Samsara, although he was born in a lowly clan, consumed meat all his life, he did not follow any austerities, all that he was selflessly served you. Oh! Balihari, you are the only one who could protect me from the sufferings of the Samsara, I am worn out of interest in worldly matters and attachment to people, Ahamkara, and Mamakara. Oh! Prabho, if you delayed to protect me, I may hurl into Garbhavasadhukham/suffering as the fetus in mother’s womb and would be born as Kuputhra. Oh! Prabho, kindly liberate me from the Garbhavasadhukham and sufferings of Samsara/Papa, Shoka, Thapa as well.”
