Astrologers had said their predictions, and although all the sacrifices and bids had been carried to the Gods for a miracle cure, the illness of the Queen worse every day.
King Jayasimha of
He felt it was useless to live if she died. Because of this constant concern, the King forgot his reign occupations. He devoted all his time to the care and welfare of the kingdom, despite all efforts, his death was imminent.
With her face pale and miserable, the young princess Visnupriya, sitting beside his mother. With your prayers unheard, as if the gods had turned to stone.
One day outside the palace Visnupriya heard the sweet voice of a singing beggar near the window, and immediately sent a servant to find out who he was. "A yogi the holy place of Sri Ksetra is singing songs to Lord Jagannatha. He gave us a grain of Maha Prasada of her bowl when asked about their intentions. " The servant informed the princess. "Our Queen will heal if you take it. The Lord Jagannatha answer: if he reads it with seriousness and good faith. "
Immediately, the mood of the princess rose and with a happy heart, accepted the grain Visnupriya Maha Prasada. Although she had never been to the distant state of Orissa to visit the great
The Queen looked like a skeleton. The pink color of his body had become a ghost and colorless, his face was pale and his cheeks were sunken, his eyes sunk in their holes. The death touched the door.
Visnupriya bowed to his mother's face and said loudly, "Please, mother, open your mouth. This is Maha Prasada of Lord Jagannatha, the Supreme doctor each."
Suddenly a ray of sunshine lit up the face of the mother. He opened his eyes and ate the food grain Prasada Maha-even when his tongue could not taste anything. A divine feeling shook her body. When food became her throat blessed his body was purified and all his sins are exonerated.
An inexplicable joy reigned over his face as if she were victorious, and without fear in the presence of death. That evening Queen's illness worsened and he spent the night in pain. The Princess Visnupriya sang devotional songs on Lord Krishna's childhood and remained beside his mother.
The Lord Jagannatha is a village of mysteries, unsurpassed even by the demigods. Mortal man is too weak to comprehend His majesty. His grace and mercy are unfathomable and endless.
Previously, once the Queen visited the King of Puri, for a few days by the same guest. The Queen began to remember, "Visnupriya my daughter was born with the blessings of Lord Jagannatha.
During his visit to Puri, the Queen had prayed for a child's own appearance remembered Lord, so that the Queen would spend the rest of their days in good company. "May I be so fortunate to have a daughter and that the Lord Jagannatha to become my son in law." She prayed.
All night the Queen was met by his servants. In the morning she felt a little better. While Visnupriya spent the whole night in vigil, Jagannatha dreamed that he stood with his hands open waiting to be garlanded by her. He tried to hide her half-smile appeared on her lips. Visnupriya felt as if drawn and embraced by Him what ecstasy to be in a strong embrace of Jagannatha! A divine happiness pervaded her being. As if only she could have that fortune.
Visnupriya's dream was interrupted when his mother asked him to take it off or get sick too.
After this the princess had many sleepless nights. Only when her mother called her, he out of her dreams.
It took some time to recover, but the dream she had had some nights you could not erase from his memory. She thought as it could be a servant of Lord Jagannatha and how he could be his at all.
After these incidents in his own house, Visnupriya was convinced that Sri Krishna was incarnated Jagannatha, the Supreme Lord of all. If not how could his Maha Prasada cure his dying mother.
A long period of time passed. Every time someone came to Puri in the Kingdom, he was treated like a king, so was the devotion of the Royal Family to the Lord Jagannatha.
Once the head of thetemple of Jagannatha pujaris Taluchha Mahapatra, came to this distant place of Kota
As it is said that Maha Prasada is cooked by Maha Laxmi, who is the wife of Lord Jagannatha and blessed by Vimala, the mother goddess of the temple priest and purified. It tastes sweet and heavenly, and even the fear of death can be dispersed when tested.
Knowing the deep love that the princess had the Lord Jagannatha, Mahapatra Taluchha arrived with Maha-Prasad. Testing it for the second time Visnupriya had another vision. With an ecstatic smile on her face she heard the Lord say: "I, The Lord Vishnu, I am yours for you are my beloved."
A wave of inexplicable happiness covered his face. Since that time she always kept a picture of Lord Jagannatha near his heart. Often felt as if she were embraced by a human super-powerful force. The more she felt her presence no longer felt hunger and thirst, she was completely lost in this consciousness and was so full of delight and a sense of surrender to be surrounded by the arms of Lord Jagannatha. Her cheeks flushed to the passage of each day, being so happy to be kissed by his bright lips.
She began to experience a divine phenomenon in its incredible young body to the human imagination. When these divine experiences passed, he felt the greatest anguish, so she always wanted to dream.
After a short stay, Taluchha Mahapatra was preparing to depart. The Queen gave him several gifts for the Lord. He asked the princess if she would like an offer to Jagannatha.
The princess Visnupriya pondered. "At least this should be communicated to him, that I completely surrendered to Him, and I'm always hoping that he appears for me to fall prostrate at his feet. I have no other offers because Jagannatha is the owner of the entire cosmic wealth. "
She began writing a letter with a gold pen and smelling of musk: "He is everywhere like space, and there is enough space in his arms open to all. You do not have to go anywhere that He be with you. " This was the only Sanskrit sloka came to his mind, so she wrote and sent along with ten gold coins.
Back at the temple, Mahapatra Taluchha had some curiosity to know the contents of the letter sent to the Lord. With much anticipation and some apprehension opened it and began reading. He thought, "what is this? Although she is well-educated daughter of the King, she has written such rubbish. Why should I take the Lord Jagannatha such rubbish? So he threw the note on the way and continued its journey.
Totally exhausted, the head of pujaris came to his home in Puri and immediately took off while he slept, the Lord Jagannatha told him in a dream, "has brought the coins offered by Visnupriya, but not the letter, which treated like trash, not However that letter was not for you. "
"Did you do your duty? At your worldly mind that note was just a child scribble, but to me it was more valuable than gold, as it was written with such love and affection for me. When you come to the temple in the morning go and find where the card. I picked it up when you threw it and hold it close to my heart. "
Mahapatra Taluchha immediately woke up. After completing their morning chores, went to the temple and opened the doors sealed.
He was very humble in complete shame, fear and apprehension went to Jagannatha. When you see the letter attached to the chest of the Lord, fell down in front of Jagannatha and prayed: "Oh Lord, I made a terrible blunder in ignorance. To err is human, to forgive divine. Please forgive me. "
For that the devotees began to sing the morning prayers. "The Lord rejoiced over this. Bold His face looked more beautiful than ever. His black beauty is a beauty as the sky itself. A mystery to all but one eternal delight, "thought Taluchha Mahapatra.
