"Baba Ke Faisle Me Ulat Pher
Nahi Hai
Baba Ke Dar Pe Der Hai Andher Nahi Hai"
It
is the description of medieval Mahabharata. Many of the devotees
must be knowing that the eldest among the five Pandava brothers
was Yudhishthir, also known as Dharamaraj, and oldest Kaurava
sibling was Duryodhan, who was the mirror image of unrighteousness
and untruth. A cold war had always been raging between the Pandavas
and the Kauravas right from their childhood to their youth.
Yudhishthir couldn't leave the path of righteousness whereas
Duryodhan wouldn't leave the path of sin.
Duryodhan,
at every step, swindled the Pandavas and the limit of cheating
was crossed when the Pandavas were compelled to stay in the
lakshagraha or the house made of lakh. It was because of blessing
of the Lord that the five Pandavas came out safely from lakshagraha
along with their mother Kunti. Knowing Duryodhan to be their
prime enemy, they did not return to Hastinapur. They started
living in the forest. During the same period when, on one night,
in a dense forest, mother Kunti, Yudhishthir, Arjun, Nakul and
Sahdev were in deep sleep, the club bearer Bhim, symbol of strength,
'son of the wind' was guarding them alertly.
In the same forest, there lived a demon called Hidimb along
with his younger sister Hidimba. He could smell the presence
of some human being from a distance and he told Hidimba that
today is a very happy day, as he smelled the presence of some
human being in the forest. You go, hunt him, and bring the killed
person to me and then both of us will eat human flesh happily.
As the God would have it, when Hidimba reached there, she lost
her heart to Bhim, who was in the guise of an alert guard. Now
she had only one wish which gained strength with the passage
of time. She thought, "Why should not I accept this lion
in human form as my husband. There could not be better blessing
for me than this." Since it was getting late, Hidimb himself
reached the place. First, he scolded his sister because of seeing
Bhim; she had forgotten her demonical nature and had adorned
an attractive form. From this, Hidimb could realise that his
younger sister had developed a soft feeling in her heart for
Bhim. There was no limit to Hidimb's anger and he told his sister
that he would kill immediately all the Pandavas and also teach
her a good lesson. But the righteous Bhim said that this woman
has come to my refuge and I won't even allow you to harm her.
Hidimb was intoxicated with his pride and so began a fierce
battle between Bhim and Hidimb. They used trees and boulders
as weapons as they grappled one another. The Pandavas were aware
and they believed that Bhim would defeat the demon and so it
happened. When Hidimb was killed, Hidimba went to Mother Kunti
with bowed head, folded hands, and humbly said, "Oh Mother,
I have accepted your son Bhim as my husband in the heart of
my hearts. You are a woman, and you know my feelings. Have pity
on me and permit me to marry your son named Bhim."
Dharamraj Yudhishthir and mother Kunti both tried to convince
her that they were passing through bad times and were wandering
from jungle to jungle. In the circumstances, they asked her
"what happiness would you get by marrying Bhim?" But
who can prevent God's will from happening. Hidimba's repeated
humble requests melted Kunti's heart. Bhim and Hidimba got married
and the Pandavas and Kunti left Bhim there on the condition
that either on the completion of one year or when Hidimba would
bear a son, then Bhim would leave Hidimba and return to them.
Time passed by quickly.
Hidimba
gave birth to a son. At the time of his birth, the baby did
not have any hair on his head and so he was named Ghatotkachch.
Being the son of a demoness, he looked quite tall at time of
his birth itself. Hidimba once again reached the Pandava brothers,
took the blessings of mother Kunti, and went back taking Ghatotkachch
with her. But before leaving, Ghatotkachch bowed to his father
and uncles and they blessed him.
The boy promised them that whenever the Pandavas would require
his services, he would definitely come to them. And same things
happened.
After some time, the Pandava brothers were called back to Hastinapur
By Bhishm Pitamah and Vidhur and were handed over the kingdom
of Indraprastha to rule. Indraprastha was a lonely, rocky place,
and the Pandavas had to convert it into a beautiful town. Realising
his duty as a son, Ghatotkachch reached to his father. All the
Pandava brothers blessed him. The righteous Yudhishthir said,
"Oh Vasudev, Oh Krishna, Oh Madhava, Bhim's son has already
grown up that he must get married now. Then with his heart-winning
smile, Krishna Kanhaiya said, "yes, oh king of the righteous,
the time for the marriage of Ghatotkachch has indeed come."
He then turned to Ghatotkachch and told, "Son, there is
powerful demon named Mur in Manipur. He has a daughter named
Kamkantakata, who is very wise. She subjects anyone who comes
with a marriage proposal to her to some very difficult questions.
You go there with the blessings of all your elders and with
the grace of God; you will answer all her questions, but don't
perform the wedding rituals there. You come here along with
her. Lord Krishna's words can never be false.
