[Indian Mythology] Self-cultivation of male gods

43

Nandi is not an ordinary youth, he is an auspicious child born with the blessing of Mahadeva, he grew up from birth, he knows where he came from and how he came here, he has lived for 1000 years Yes, when he was alive, his father didn't die, and he had been taking care of him all the time, and now, he hoped that he could get the blessing of the great god who gave him life.

The blessing he needs is not longevity, nor wealth, nor beauty and food, so he has been praying devoutly until this glorious goddess in red sari came to him.

He knows who she is, he praises her divinity, and she worships her power to bring good to all things in the world.

Because Nandi's worship of Lakshmi made both Vishnu and Shiva very happy, so Shiva also showed his true face.

Nandi recognized him immediately, and he prostrated himself at his feet, begging for grace: "Mahadeva, Lord, I am a calf prostrate at your feet, please take me in, let me follow you, I can Be your mount, I can carry you to walk in the world, I have no supernatural powers, but I have a pious heart, please let me follow you to learn endless knowledge in this world, please let me be your loyal believer, in this world , I am just an animal, but to you, I am a pious pilgrim!"

Even Vishnu was moved by Nandi's entreaty.

There are countless believers who worship Vishnu. However, he was moved by Nandi, a believer like a cow, so he said to Mahadeva: "Mahadeva, Nandi is indeed very pious. It is commendable that his piety responds instead by asking to be a true devout believer.

"Mortals don't want other people to worship their Lord together, but Nandi is not an alien, his father is Szilard.

"People always hate strong aliens, and they are even less willing to live with them. Mahadeva, are you willing to accept them as your disciples?"

People in this world are willing to devoutly believe in the gods, and they are more willing to follow their king Manu to believe in Vishnu, but who will believe in Mahadeva?

Ordinary people's beliefs should not be forced, but Narayan knows that any belief is related to the soul. They don't need to worship complicated and complicated, and they don't need to find a place to worship. However, when their souls resonate with the gods, Only in this way can the Fa-rectification of the world run properly.

And followers of Mahadeva are even more necessary.

In fact, Narayan is the one who doesn't need followers.

He is omnipresent, he is omnipresent, and everything that is material or non-material, animal or non-animal, is Him.

But Mahadeva is different. Mahadeva’s blessing is auspicious and closely related to the operation of this world. Therefore, Narayan once again helped Mahadeva make a decision, and this decision is absolutely beneficial. , it benefits the world.

If it is beneficial to the world, Narayan is willing to do it, and what Narayan is willing to do, Mahadeva is happy to do.So Mahadeva reached out and patted Nandi on the head lightly, allowing him to follow and also agreeing to his proposal to be the mount of the Great Heaven.

Then, Nandi fell to the ground and turned into a white and auspicious bull.

This bull is tall and strong, his whole body is white, his head is as big as a bucket, his eyes are as big as copper bells, his snout is as wide as a porch, his head is a pair of curved horns, sharp and sharp, and his neck has three layers of folds, Thick and strong, with auspicious Chasers on his hooves, and his tail like a sheaf of wheat.

Such a strong bull became Mahadeva's mount.

Narayan smiled and nodded, thinking that this is very appropriate, and if he thinks it is appropriate, Mahadeva will not think it is wrong. Therefore, Nandi is no longer a bull-like young man who was bullied by children in the village. A follower of Mahadeva, he has his Lord to worship, he has real knowledge to learn.

Szilard was also delighted to hear this.

As a father, who doesn't want his son to be favored by the Lord God?

He once again held a banquet in his own home, and invited countless people, relatives and friends, and even invited the two great Lords and Goddess Lakshmi, as real distinguished guests, to eat the exquisite food he had prepared.

Because he had been influenced by the two Lords, Szilard did not attach great importance to money, and his contentment and joy also pleased Narayan.

After leaving Szilard's house, Nandi followed them all the way to Gyrasa.

Jiluosa, Namanu's big boat was tied up here, and Narayan has always liked this place very much.

He likes the coolness here, he likes the quietness here, and he likes the towering sky here.

Mahadeva is also standing here, looking at the world with him—everything in the world, mortals and mortals, birds and birds, naga and naga... They are living beings, they are all living beings, and they are alive in this whirling world. Vigorous, they thrive, they are not afraid of wind and rain.

"Maha Deva," Narayan turned to look at him, "I am very happy."

Mahadeva was also laughing. He looked at Narayan, saw his smile, and laughed with him.They laugh at all this joy, and all these things that bring them joy are so beautiful that even if someone cries, it is a cry that makes them happy, because people hurt so there are tears, and tears, Can cleanse the dust of this world.

At this time, Mahadeva made a decision: "I will choose this place as my place of practice, Narayan. It is connected to Mount Sumeru, it is connected to Vigongcha, it reaches heaven, but it is in the world. , Narayan, this is the place I need, my abode."

"You are right, Mahadeva, this decision has made your compassion more extensive in the world." Narayan said, reaching out and grabbing Mahadeva's hand, "Since you have chosen this place , Mahadeva, we should see what is here and what is missing."

Mahadeva smiled.

He doesn't need anything, but he needs everything.

This is sometimes difficult to understand, but in fact, as a renunciate, as a god of asceticism, what he needs is too little, but the same, he is the supreme god, one of the three gods, which makes him He needs too much, from knowledge to love, from justice to devotion, from patience to sympathy...he needs everything.

And no one in this world knows him better than grandpa.

They walked through the rocky hills, here, Na Luoyan said that it can be used to destroy the body of mortals.

Because people are not trapped by the body, only the soul is eternal.

They walked across the grassy hillside, which Narayan said could be used to confuse evil people.

Because people are always deluded by happiness, only by seeing through the illusion can we gain true knowledge.

They walked through a valley sheltered by towering trees, where Narayan said he could take a nap and meditate.

Because he doesn't need to be disturbed too much, only by covering up the outside world can he answer more questions without distraction.

They walked through the snow-capped mountain top, here, Narayan said he could use it for meditation.

Because once he meditates deeply, he must truly see through the essence, and the state of waiting cannot be disturbed by others.

Na Luoyan assigned Ji Luosa's task for him, and as soon as he said it, Ji Luosa automatically carried out these orders, and every place became orderly without any chaos.

Mahadeva was happy that Narayan did these things for him, and he was also satisfied with the birth of these things, so he asked Nandi to wait here and wait for the blessings that the god of asceticism could bring.

Lakshmi did not inject wealth into this place. She knew very well that there is wealth in Jiluosa, but the wealth of the world is not wealth to Mahadeva and Narayan. Therefore, she chose to use the heaviest and most solid The fine steel was condensed into an anklet and given to Mahadeva.

This is her blessing, because she was taught and raised by him and Swami, so she is willing to dedicate as their student.

Mahadeva accepted the gift and turned to look at Narayan.

Na Luoyan smiled really happily, he almost stopped smiling but laughed loudly, smiling like a mortal, but still more beautiful than everything else.

Mahadeva stretched out his hand, spread it flat, facing Narayan.

"If you want a gift, Mahadeva, you should say it." Narayan smiled and put his hand in Mahadeva's outstretched palm, "If you don't say it, I thought you were going to pull me away .”

However, this already made Mahadeva's smile widen.

"Maha Deva!" Narayan let go of his hand and looked at him disapprovingly, "I know what you're thinking."

Mahadeva didn't speak, but was still smiling.

Nandi didn't understand, and even if he looked at Goddess Lakshmi, Goddess would not explain to him what the mystery was.

Not long after they stayed in Jiluosa, they heard that Asura, who was called the golden bed, had practiced penance and prayed for blessings because of the death of his brother Jinmu.

He has been doing penance for ten years.

For ten years, he did not eat or drink, and kept praying silently, praying to Brahma.

"Praise to Narayana! Praise to Narayana!" Narada called Narayana's name and walked into Jiluosa. He began to sing at the foot of the mountain. He sang about the golden bed Asura king. He practiced so hard that his face was covered by beard and hair, "Can he be blessed with such hard work, Lord?"

When he asked this question, Narada, who was circling on the psychedelic green grass, had already appeared in the mountain depression where he practiced. He saluted again and asked if things would get out of hand.

"Immortal, I already know about this matter, but the penance on the golden bed is his business, and I can't stop him because his penance may be dangerous to the world." Na Luoyan replied, his answer was ingenious, evading solved all the problems of Narada.

"However, Lord...if he completes his penance and gets a gift, then...what if he wants to kill you?" Na Luoda was really worried now.However, as soon as his words came out, Mahadeva stood up angrily.

Na Luoyan had no choice but to stretch out his hand and pull him to the rock and sit down: "This is impossible, Immortal, even if he asks for your father, such a blessing cannot be granted, so please don't worry too much, Immortal .Blessings always have a bottom line."
