Ashram News Letter

Dear friends and Newsletter readers,
I must thank first, all those who acknowledged my bulletin. Today I shall include a small story on Lord Shri Krishna as there is Krisna Janmashtami and this story is specially written for Shilpa,Rupali and Suhas Datar,s daughter in UK. Her Dohal Jevan is being held on 13th August .So here is a small story for her on Shri Krishna day .
Story:  One day Shri Krishna’s eight wives asked Lord, why don’t you ever call Radha to meet us? Krishna replies I know, Jealousy thy name is Women. The wives said, we promise not to be jealous of her. Finally Krishna gave up and decided to call Radha his childhood friend and love. Radha too consented and visited the family of Krishna. Her beauty, her grace her grandeur was something, which only Divinity incarnate could have. But all the 8 wives welcomed Radha. After polite and formal welcome Krishna left Radha to his wives and left the palace.

The day came to an end and all retired. Next day Lord Krishna had turned Red, indeed not with anger but sort of slightly burnt on his chest and face. The wives rushed to him and asked, what happened?

Krishna asked, “How were you’ll towards Radha. They all said we were our best. Krishna said what did you’ll feed her .The menu was described. However when they spoke about dinner they said, Radha merely preferred to have milk. Krishna asked was the milk hot. They said yes,” No wonder he said, when she drank, she must have thought of me, for in Gokul we all drank cold fresh milk.
Krishna was still in the heart of Radha.

News. In our ashram a young boy of age 8 Ajinkya Mule has come first at state level in scholarship exams

of std 4rth.He is brilliant and I congratulate him on behalf of all of us.
The 12 papers we shall have in certificate course will include one paper on Gorakshanath. He was a greatest yogi and belonged to Nath Sampradaya. He was the most handsome incarnation of Lord Shiva on earth.
One day Lord Shiva and Parvati were discussing what would be Lord Shiva’s next Avatar –incarnate to save mankind. Parvati said, how strange it is Oh Lord that every time you take form on
earth you need me to go with you, Lord Shiva sensed some ego. (Mind you readers for me and you Parvati is the goddess and Mother of Universe) However when Lord heard her say so he decided to be born again but without his consort. Then the one who was born as incarnate of Shiva was Gorakshanath, The most handsome and powerful Yogi of  times. When Gorakshanath was established on path of Yoga , one day it so happened that Shiva and Parvati were passing by a mountain.Parvati saw an entire mountain glistening like gold. She wondered and asked Lord Shiva,” What is it?” Lord Shiva replied here is my devotee Goraksh who is meditating, and it is the luster of Kundalini that you can see. Parvati was now curious not only to see Goraksh but to test him for not being attracted to a maiden.Parvati went with all her grandeur but as soon as Gorakshanath saw her, he said”,Oh Maa! I was awaiting you to come and bless this child.” Shiva too came and said, He will be unattached to family and shall spread my message to the world. Parvati realized on remembering her earlier words and humbly saluted Lord Shiva and blessed Goraksha.
Nav Nath stories of Nine such masters Matsyendra nath Gorakshanath and others is very interesting and a belief in them helps people to become Yogis.
