Country without King
The Countrymen lamenting all over the night looked like Yugam(Million years). On Sunrise, the officials , Brahmins assembled in the hall. Great Sages like Markandeya, Mouthkalya, Vamadeva, Kashyapa, Karthyayana, Gouthama,and the famed Jhaabali,and other Brahmins,, Ministers, Priests addressed Sage Vasishta “ Lord ! last night was like a many years. When Dasaratha has died due to Puthra shokam(agonizing grief due to separation fromf dear Son) how else will it be? King has gone to heaven. Rama has gone to Forest; Aura dazzling Lakshmana is with him;Bharatha & Sahtrugna are in Kaykeya country in city named Rajagriha along with their grandfather happily. We have to make one of them King.This country should not get damaged without King.
In a country where there is no king Varuna and Indra do not show mercy in raining in the respective seasons, it rains stones.
No one will plough their soils and sow seeds in and them.
Son will not listen to Father.
Wife will not be bound by Husband.
Due to fear of theft most will not have wealth.
Due to troubles from relations the ladies will not become pregnant.
There will be more such heinous Sins will occur often.
There will not be honesty in giving and taking.
Due to worry the people will not jointly discuss and take decision on matters.
Since there is no security/self discipline no one will have Garden.
No Feeding centres or choultry will be created.
Brahmins will not have control over their senses nor will they do yagnya.
Even if they have excess wealth, they will be afraid to do Yaga and offer Dakshina(fees); When Money is available then they will be harassed by government Officials or Thiefs.
There will be no growth of exponents of Dance.
The festivities and celebrations will not grow in Divine places.
There will not be congregation of crowds in Pilgrimage places the above two are they good for the country eh?
Traders will not be safe by doing business.
There will not be those who can narrate the Puranaas ; as there will not be people to attend it as they are constantly afraid of what is going to happen now?
There will not be debate on Saashtras(Doctrines), as there will be no assembly of experts,and not many to motivate them.
Evening time youthful Ladies will not adorn with costly jewells and loiter in the garden ,as the fear of theft will be always lurking.
Gents will not go with Ladies in the fast moving vehicles,for fear of Theives.
Those who do Agriculture, cattle farming will not sleep comfortably with doors kept open due to fear of theifs.**( We used to sleep in Delhi in 1955-57 with doors open on the open in Karol bagh), today we invent and put special locks.
Beautiful 60 Year old Elephants with Ivory tusks and bells tolling will not walk on the Royal Boulevards.
You will not hear the humming sound of the Archers Bowstring pulled and arrows relased .
Traders will not go to long distances with costly items un afraid.
You will not find Learned persons who have been able to control their senses, not being one among the crowd, but Living alone and all the while thinking of God Sriman Narayana, and accept the place where sun set as his residence ; Who will feed these people Food?
One cannot get the materials which he has not got.
One cannot safe guard the materials thsu obtained
Defence forces will not stand in the battle opposing the Enemy.**(Proxy War-Terrorist Bombing is it the culture in Kaly Yug?)
People well adorned will not be moving around in Chariot, Horses with happiness and enjoy their rides outside.
The scholars will not debate in the garden of the cities or even in the hermitages of the Saints.
People will not go to temple with devotion carrying Flowers,eatables, Dakshina(Money for fees) with them to pray.
Like the spring time when the Trees get decorated by Flowers , the Princes will not be seen with Cosmetic pasted made of Sandalwood, Akil etc.
Just like the River which is parched, Forests without grass, Cows without sheperd,like wise the country without King will not be prosperous. The Flag hoisted is the symbol for Chariot;Fire is identified by Smoke; for us King is the Symbol he has left this world and gone to the Celestials world.
In a country if the King is not there no one can claim the material as his. Like the Fish they will eat each other.
Those who were punished for leaving their Caste and their creed and the Aethists , will now wander fearlessly , will torture those whom do they not want and will earn the name of Pious.
Just like the Eye gives benefit to the Body and avoids impediments /danger is removed ; King removes the troubles for the People and gives prosperity. He Is the originator for Sathyam (Truth) and Karma(ensuring every one performs his Duty);He is Sathyam(Truth); He is Dharma:for those born in Noble families, he ensure their Noble Conduct. King is the father of People; he is the benefactor of the People.
Yama(God of Death) job is to mett out punishment only; Khubera’s job is to give wealth only ; Indira’s job is to Protect; Varuna’s job is to enure good Condcut . the afroesaid is that they protect the Animals in the respective Directions.Whereas King does all the 4 Jobs single handedly , he protects all the animals in all the 4 Directions; hence the Lords od Directions(Dik Pahalas) are lesser than him.
If the King is there and if he does not question/enquire the Justice and injustice , nothing will work in this world. Like the world will become dark if there is no Sun,the world will be clouded by ignorance ie prey to Lust,Anger,Greed, Desire jealousy are the Ignorance which if not governed by the King amongst the People as mentioend in point 37, or else will ruin the kingdom.
Like the Sea does not cross the shore, we will accept your command as the Veda Vakhya(Hindu’s Ten commandments). Hey Greatest amongst Brahmins ! please save this country which is distressed and this Country has become a forest wihtout King, Please think and consider and recommend a capable person as the King” thus they prayed. (Slokas 38).
