4.7.1 – 11

The seventh chapter of Fourth canto describes Daksha’s “Dharmasidhi” from SriHari.

Now Lord Siva replies to Lord Brahma’s prayer, “I am not bothered about Daksha and others. I have just given the appropriate punishment to them as they deserve it. If sinners are not punished, there will be no control over ordinary people who may be diverted to wrong path”.

Then the Lord blesses Daksha (who has lost his head) to have the goat’s head and relive. All others were blessed too. Thus Lord Siva and Brahma alongwith other Rishis and Devas went to the “YagaShala”.  There Daksha’s head was replaced with that of a goat and he got up as if from a sleep.

He saw the most merciful Lord glancing at him with compassion. Daksha’s throat and eyes were filled with gratitude for the Lord and love for his lost daughter.

Note – whether our Gurus curse or bless us, their words will ultimately bring only good to us! India is the only country in this world where the Guru is given the foremost position in one’s life. It says, “Easwara”  may discard you, but your Guru will never leave you.
