SURYAKSHETRA- 77
3rd June 2004
Himalayan program -MIGHTY INDIAN
What this little man speaks…
On our way back from 3900 mts height, we reached back Rishikesh. We desired to take darshan of Lord Neelakanth Mahadeva. The temple is a very ancient temple and Lord Shiva said to have drank poison at the time of churning of the sea during Deva – Daanava exercise. Lord Shiva in order to protect the human race, said to have drunk the poison and retained the same at his neck as such his neck was burnt there upon naming Lord Shiva as LORD NEELAKANTH. I know from reliable sources that the Havan Kund of the Neelakanth temple is continuing since long time.
We had Holy darshan and just returning. We were ready to get into our vehicles. We were twenty in number and just then we have witnessed one interesting incident. A person from our group offered two bread pieces to a beggar who was sitting on the road. The depth of hunger can be seen by any one easily from his eyes. He could have eaten the bread hurriedly for his situation was such. Just then we saw one black dog approaching him sitting in front of him. Normally the behavior of a human being in such a situation demands to throw a stone and keep the dog away. Interestingly he has offered one bread piece to the dog and started waiting for its eating the piece. Seeing all this, I could not remain as a silent spectator, immediately I approached a nearby hotel and purchased a biscuit packet and offered the same to him.
He refused to take and said in a very very low tone that he has not taken any food for the past three days and requested for a fist full of rice. He was about to faint. I rushed up to the Hotel and served him plate of rice instantly. I did not wait for the waiter to bring the rice plate, rather I found that humanity is in the forefront than any other formality, thus I carried the rice plate on my own and served him the food. I have also offered him the biscuit packet which was earlier offered by him. He refused to take any money or any other thing and said that the plate of rice is just sufficient for him to make him alive that day. I had offered some money forcibly to him and all of us left the place.
It is not something new to us, we came across several saints in the mighty hills who straight refuse any offering inspite of their being with an empty stomach. Some time they accept and share with others what ever is given to them and we have also seen some of them offering sweets, vegetables to the animals etc.
