Re: Story on Vishnumaya

Hari Om. Yes, I too read this story and its variants.
And recently I laid my hands upon the audio cassettes
of Vipra Narayana, a Telugu film which I saw in my
childhood and the cassettes were lying in some obscure
corner of my house for nearly a decade. There too, Sri
Vipra Narayana, a great devotee of Sri Ranganatha of
Sri Rangam, who was fully immersed in the seva of the
Lord, gets bewitched by a courtesan and temporarily
forgets the Lord. But the Lord with His infinte mercy
soon brings the devotee back to the fold, albeit with
a little drama. Sri Vipra Narayana then realises his
mistake and prays to the Lord from the bottom of his
heart and He reveals that the devotee was His garland
and due to Some Sapam, was born thus and played out
the Karma.

It is thus clear that if we forget His Lotus Feet, He
uses His Maya to create problems to us so that we then
remember His Feet again. Great indeed is His
attachment. He never allows His children to wander too
far.

Hari Om.

S.V.Swamy
