Today we will tell you about such truths related to Shani which are related to the Leela of Shri Krishna, as well as the flying colors of Holi Celebration.
This thing is interesting as well as surprising, because its veracity can be directly seen. Any seeker can know and understand this, and can become a participant in this wonderful scene.
Story of Child Krishna and Shani (Shani Katha)
According to the legend, Shani Dev (Shani Dev) started crying bitterly and lamenting on his own misfortune. The stream of tears flowing from his eyes was not stopping. The situation of being rejected, being reprimanded and returning back had hurt him badly. Shani, who used to change the fate of others into bad luck and good fortune, who was suffering from half-and-half sati, etc., became a ‘judge’ by the grace of Devadhidev Shri Shiva, could not understand why this is happening with him only.
It was the time of Shri Krishna’s birth anniversary, his mother Yashoda was showing her Lal to everyone. Many sages, sages, scholars, etc. all were grateful to see a glimpse of child form Shri Krishna. Only then someone told Yashoda that Shani was also standing outside waiting to see the glimpse of Lala’s face, so on hearing this, she became enraged. Saying ‘don’t show him to my son’, immediately put a big tilak of mascara on the forehead of the child Shri Krishna and put a garland of buzzer battu around his neck so that the child Shri Krishna may not be seen by Shani.
Then immediately she came out and said, O Shani Dev! You leave here, go away, Bal-Gopal is sleeping now. His darshan is not possible. Shani understood his misfortune, his heart was bursting to see his beloved. Shani went some distance away and started lamenting.
Shri Krishna could not live without being moved after hearing their lamentation. Appearing in front of him, he said – ‘Your penance has been successful, Shani I am present in front of you, see with all your heart.’ Then Shani kept seeing Shri Krishna in the water of Yamuna. Yamuna also got involved in this holy union of both because Yamuna is the sister of Shani.
Krishna said- ‘O Shani! You settle here, becoming a rock on the banks of the Yamuna, I will perform Rasleela in your presence, I will stand firm with you, along with me many divine nymphs, gopis in front of you, on the night of Sharad Purnima, the most divine festival of the universe, Rasleela Will do Of all the planets, only you will get my company the most, sitting on you I will play the tune of the flute. Then everything happened as Krishna had said. Even today the divine Shani Shila is present at that place in Kokilavaan of Vrindavan.
At this time, when Holikotsav is celebrated in Braj, colors and gulal fly. In Gokul, Vrindavan, Mathura, when the colorful clouds create a picturesque atmosphere, then many people pour colors on this Shani Shila and apply tika. Along with getting blessings and grace from Shani, freedom from troubles, permanent auspiciousness, security is wished. Some have even been seen singing, dancing and putting colors on each other around Shani Shila. There is no difference between caste and caste here.
