BEHOLD A WONDER

RAMAYANA

At that movement the King was speechless with agony, but Kaikeyi boldly answered for him and told Sumantra: The King spent the night talking of Raama's coronation and had no sleep . So now he is in a slumber . Go at once and bring Raama."

Thus the clever woman sent Sumantra  to fetch Raama to convey the King's 

command. She knew that Dasaradha had agreed but had not the strength to do what had to b done. Hence Kaikeyi resolved that she would herself do what needed to be done.

Sumanthra went to Raama's palace . Seeta and Raama were getting ready for coronation. Then Sumanthra gave to Raama the message that the King and Queen Kaikeyi wanted his presence. Raama hastened to obey.

Th unexpected delay and these strange goings and comings roused doubts, but no one dared to talk of them. The men concerned hoped that somehow things would turn out right and went on with their allotted work.

The streets were brightly decorated; the great hour was approaching as in the Queens chamber strange and sinister events were developing. 

" Why this long delay? " the people wondered. "Perhaps the preliminary rites are more elaborate than we had thought."

The crowds in the streets grew bigger and bigger and more impatient.

Sumantra accompanied Raama to Kaikeyi's palace, threading the way with difficulty through the throng, Raama entered the Queen's apartment. As he stepped over the threshold, he started as if he had set his foot upon a snake, for he saw with awe-struck amazement his father lying on the bare floor in anguish. The King evidently had been struck down with some great sorrow. His face was like a parijaatha blossom wilted in the son.

BHAGAVAD-GITA

7-25

I AM NEVER MANIFEST to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by My internal potency, and therefore they do not know that I am unborn and infallible.

7-26

O Arjun, as the Supreme personality of Godhead, I know everything that has happened in the past, all that is happening in the present, and all things that are yet to come . I also know all living entities; but Me no one knows. 

7-27

O scion of Bharata, O conqueror of the foe, all living entities  are born into  delusion, bewildered by dualities arisen from desire and hate. 

7-28

Persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life and whose sinful actions are completely eradicated are freed from the dualities of delusion, and they engage themselves in my service with determination.

సూతమహర్షీ! ఏ యుగంలోని ఏప్రదేశంలో ఏఉద్దేశ్యంతో వ్యాసులవారిని భాగవతాన్ని రచించమని అర్ధించారు? ఆ వ్యాసభగవానుడు ఎందుకోసం ఎంతోఆలోచించి  ఈ మహా గ్రంథాన్ని రచించాడు? ఆయన కుమారుడైన  శ్రీ శుకుడు ఎటువంటి  ఆదరంతో పరిక్షిన్మహారాజుకి భాగవతకథ వినిపించాడు. ఇదంతా మాకు సమగ్రంగా వివరించి చెప్పు.
