Dhruva Nakshatra - Highest point


Brahma created Svayambhava Manu as the first human and asked to marry Shatrupa and asked him to sustain the race. They had three daughters and two sons. Uttanapada is elder son. He had two wives, Suniti and Suruchi. Dhruv was born from Suniti and Uttam from Suruchi.

Surichi was dearer to Uttanapada. He rarely seen or listened to Suniti. Once Dhruva went to the palace to see his father - after a long time. Dhruva saw his brother Uttama on his fathers left lap, he wished his father to have him on other. Surichi pushed him off and said “You dint have good fortune  to be born to me – Hence you are deprived of your fathers lap and Throne”. Deeply hurt Dhurva reached his mother , as knowing the incident she told 10 things to Dhruva

 v  If you have to beg for something, let that be from God!
   v  However much you ask of a human being, it will be little.
   v  Many a times asking brings with it, humiliation.
   v  When God gives, he gives in plenty.
   v  God will make you sit on his lap with love. He is the true father of Mankind.
   v  Don’t speak ill about Surichi , ask for the blessings of Suruchi.
   v  Suruchi has spoken words of truth, even if you want the throne, pray to the Lord!
   v  I am not sending you alone, my blessings and God are with you.


Hearing this dhruva started towards forest to meditate for Vishnu. Narada appeared and rtied to console child saying “I could understand your pain, but many sages for years prayed for Vishnu without success. Bow to people with higher spirituality, Make Friends with those who have equal to you, Wish god to give them for lesser- This would console you – Now go and play kid.”  Dhurva was adamant , seeing that Narada told the way to pray.
    v  Eat to live, Eat only Fruits , Take Holy bath in Saraswathi, Create a small Idol, Pary with Tulasi and Flower
 v  Chant “Om namo bhagavate Vaasudevaaya".

For the first month he subsisted on fruit and meditated for 3 days at a stretch. For the second month, he meditated for 6 days at a stretch. For the third month, Dhruv meditated for 9 days at a stretch and subsisted on only leaves. For the fourth month, he meditated for 12 days at a stretch and subsisted on only water from the Yamuna River. For the fifth month Dhruv meditated for 15 days at a stretch, and renounced water and had only Air (Kumbhakam, Rechakam etc in Yoga). By the 6th month Dhruv decided that he would stay put in the same and stood on one leg and meditated, earth was tilting.

Vishnu appeared and have him all Vedic knowledge by placing conch on his head. Dhruva praised the Lord and Vishnu gave him biggest post, but asked him to go and do his Karma of ruling the kingdom and then attain the stature.

The Post is highest point of heaven and making him as basis all Stars, Planets will revolve. People use this as navigational point for them to reach destination. – POLE STAR

Note:  Morale 
 1)  Every man has two Wives – Su”ruchi” 5 senses and Man is usually slave of her surrendering to external Maya manifested through senses. Su”nithi” - inner sense epitomizes truthfulness not impacted by Maya – She is always in meditation of the supreme. She is always ignored by us. Product of our senses is Uttama (Best) but should given less importance to son of Consciousness. 
 2) Time and again you run into unfair situation. Never beg humans – instead concentrate on God (within?) with utmost sincerity – God will give you everything beyond you wishes. You would be viewed as point of reference. 


Dhurva(Pole Star) married Brami(Rotation/Revolution) and have birth to Varsha(Year) and Kalpa (4.32 billion years) - Thus exemplifies the scentific nature of Hindu mythology at the same time hidden message. Wish every one understand the enormity of these scriptures written thousands of years earlier(this is quited in Vishnu purana and BHagavatha purana) 

Hats Off !!!!!!!
