Chaturmas
Bali and Dharaani
devi’s story – are they inter-related?
One question in
exam paper was “Answer any 4 out of 8” and Rajinikanth answered all the eight
questions and wrote below “choose any 4 to correct”.
If Rajini can do,
can’t I? can’t I give 2 stories to
answer your questions? Well, jokes apart, here’s the explanation…
Yes, story of
Bhooma Devi as you’ve rightly noticed explains all the queries that you asked –
why 4 months are called ‘chaturmas’? what to do then – as told by Rishis and
why? But, I also answered a question that wasn’t asked by you.
Agreed, Bhooma
Devi wanted that boon and all that but why those 4 months are not considered
auspicious for events like marriages etc in the first place? Because Maha Vishnu
is not at Vaikuntam and if such events occur, then the offerings would be
offered which have to be taken by Gods and to do that they would have had to go
to ‘Patala loka’ where Mahavishnu would be during those months. Then, the
question as to why he is there would arise and hence I told the story of Bali
Chakravarthi. Because, He is in Patala Loka, the Rathri automatically becomes
inauspicious and to remove that it was declared as ‘chaturmas’ fit enough for
Theerth, homam, meditation etc as already explained. Yes, both 4 months are the
same months as rightly noticed by you Vaibhav.
I hope its clear
for one and for all now. Sorry, for not having explained in detail earlier.
And thanks
Vaibhav for coming out with your doubt. If its still confusing please ask
again, and I’ll try to explain it once more…
