The Uncle

Some distance away from Awadh, some distance away, that is at a fair distance, lived a mother who unfortunately had become a widow. She had a small son. Poverty was the third member in the house. Somehow the mother brought up her son. Sometimes she would get food once in a day or once in two days. Then she would thank God a lot. It is said that in poverty, there is no one except God.

The boy grew up a little. The month of Sawan came. There was joy everywhere. It was the time of festivals. Raksha Bandhan was about to come. There was a fair of Rakhis and sweets. The boy asked his mother, "Mother, who will tie a Rakhi to me? Who is my sister? Children are children. What would the mother say? When he started insisting, he said, "Your sister is the queen of Ayodhya. Her name is Sita. She is married to Ram Ji."

- Then why doesn't she come to meet us?" -Son, she is a queen, I have nothing to give her and if a daughter comes home and sends her empty handed, it is a bad omen! That is why I have forbidden her!

-So, does she not remember us?

-She must be remembering us every day, but son, this is how the world works, there are some rules!

-So should we go to them?

-Son, I have only two saris, those too are torn and that Chakravarti Samrat and Maharani, we should take care of their respect! We cannot go like this, when you grow up, earn a lot of money and go and take me along too!

The child was saying something else, the mother said, don't ask too many questions now Soja! Children are very simple, they neither understand the ways of the world nor deceit! The child thought that she is my sister, if I go to meet her, she will definitely meet me with love!

The child had no idea how far Ayodhya is and how to go, but still he decided in his mind that he has to meet his sister! He clutched his mother's torn sari in his armpit to give it to his sister, thinking that he would have to give her some gift and left that very night without telling his mother!

In those days people used to go to sleep early in the night and the roads were almost deserted! The boy asked someone he met, "Bhaiya which is the route to Ayodhya?"

The boy looked at the boy and said, "Son, this is the route to Ayodhya, but why are you walking so far alone at this time of the night?"

The boy did the same and went to his home with the resolution that he will return again!

The name of this boy was Prayag! After some time he came to know that Sita Ram is none other than Jagatpati, the mother and father of all, the Almighty God!

After his mother's departure to Saket, he returned to Awadh in his teenage years and considered Sita Ji as his sister throughout his life and served the feet of Ram and Sita Ji for almost his entire life! All the devotees used to call him uncle due to this relation! He should have called him uncle because the mother and father of all of us is Shri Sita Ram Ji and Prayag Ji is the brother of Mata Sita, isn't he uncle!

Motivational information: Bhagvad Gita as it is..

1- When we read Bhagvad Gita for the first time. Then we read as a blind person and only understand that who is whose father, who is whose sister, who is whose brother. We do not understand anything more than this.

2- When we read Bhagvad Gita for the second time, then questions arise in our mind that why did he do this or why did he do that?

3- When we read Bhagvad Gita for the third time, then we will slowly start understanding its meaning. But everyone will understand those meanings in their own way.

4- When we read Bhagavad Gita for the fourth time, you will be able to understand the feelings of each character, the emotions, what is going on in each person's mind. Like what is going on in Arjun's mind or what is going on in Duryodhan's mind? We will be able to understand this.

5- When we read Bhagavad Gita for the fifth time, the entire Kurukshetra appears in our mind, is ready, we have different kinds of imaginations in our mind.

6- When we read Bhagavad Gita for the sixth time, then we do not feel that we are reading..we feel that someone is telling us this.

7- When we read Bhagavad Gita for the seventh time, then we become Arjun and it feels as if it is Lord Krishna in front of us, who is telling me this.

8- And when we read Bhagavad Gita for the eighth time, then we realize that Shri Krishna is not somewhere outside, he is inside us and we are inside him. When we read Bhagavad Gita eight times, then we will know the importance of Gita.

That there is nothing different from Bhagavad Gita in this world and in this world Bhagavad Gita is the simplest way to our salvation.

The answers to all the questions of man are written in Bhagavad Gita. The questions that man wants to ask God. All those are written in Gita in a simple manner.

The answers to all the problems of man are written in Bhagavad Gita, Gita is nectar. Gita is Lord Krishna himself.. Take out some time and definitely read Gita..!
