Brihaspati Dev Katha
Once there was a very poor Brahmin during ancient times he had no issue he used to worship God everyday but his wife neither took bath in the morning nor did she ever worship any deity owing to this reason the Brahmin used to remain very sad.
With the kind blessings of God a female child was born in his house, the girl began growing gradually, she used to take bath early in the morning and offer he worships to Lord Vishnu she was also observing fasts on Thursdays after offering worships while going to school, she used to carry barley in her fists and scatter the grain on the way, while on her return, the grains of barley used to get transformed into gold, which she used to collect and return home, one day while she was winnowing the barley grains with winnow basket her mother saw her and said “Dear daughter for winnowing golden barley grains the winnow basket should also be made of gold”.
Next day was a Thursday, the girl was observing fast she prayed to Brihaspati God for a golden winnow basket, Brihaspati God decided to respond to her prayer the girl like other days, went to school scattering grains of barley in the way, while on her way back she not only found the grains of barley transformed into gold but she also found a golden winnow basket in the way. She brought it home and began winnowing the barley grains with it. But her mother remains unchanged.
One day, it so happened that while the girl was winnowing barley grains with the golden winnow basket, a prince happened to pass by he lost his heart to the girl to see her peerless beauty, he returned to his palace and stopped taking food and water and lay motionless in his room.
The king when he learnt that the prince had stopped take in food and water, came and enquired from him the reason behind it, the prince told him everything and also gave him address of the girl.
The king’s minister went to the house of girl and conveyed the message of the king to the Brahmin and within a few days the marriage of the girl solemnized with the prince.
But as soon as the girl left home to go to her in-law house the Brahmin became poor again. One day, saddened by his poverty, the Brahmin went to meet his daughter, seeing her father the girl enquired the well-being of her mother. The Brahmin told her everything his daughter gave him a lot of money and bade him farewell, but after a few days the Brahmin was once again struggling with poverty the Brahmin again went to his daughter and narrated hi plight. His daughter said “O father bring my mother here I shall tell her how to get rid of poverty”. The Brahmin went back home and returned to his daughter along with his wife. The girl said to her mother “O mother take bath early in the morning and offer worships to Lord Vishnu this will help you get rid of poverty, but the Brahmins wife didn’t care to listen to her daughter instead she used to eat the leftovers of her daughter in the morning”.
One day her daughter became very angry with her she locked her in a room next day she forced her to take bath and offer worships and thus set right.
After this she began worshipping and observing fasts on Thursday’s religiously. The effect of observing this fast was such that she went to heaven after death. The Brahmin enjoyed every prosperity in this mortal world and went to heaven after death and thus having narrated this story the saint vanished.
Gradually time rolled on the next day Thursday when the king went to town to sell firewood, he earned more than what he used to earn earlier the king bought grams and Jaggery from the market and observed fast. From that day he began living happily his bad days were gone but on next Thursday he forgot to observe fast this displeased Brihaspati God.
On that day the king of the town had arranged Yagna at a very large scale he had invited all his subjects to his palace to have meals and had announced that no one should cook meals at home and even found disobeying his orders shall be subjected to capital punishment.
As per the royal orders of the king all his subjects came to the palace to have their meals but the woodcutter arrived late the king took him inside while the king was serving meals to the woodcutter the queen noticed that her necklace was missing which she had hung by the peg in the wall the queen thought that it was the woodcutter who had stolen her necklace, and so she called out to her soldiers and got him imprisoned.
The woodcutter began thinking in the prison, what crime I must have committed in my early life to reach this end and he began remembering the saint whom he had met in the forest Brihaspati God appeared to him in the guise of a saint and began saying “O fool you are suffering thus only because you did not either listen to the stories or tell the stories related to Brihaspati God all right you need not worry now on Thursday you will find 4 paise lying at door of prison offer your worships to Brihaspati God and all your problems will be over”.
The woodcutter did get 4 paise lying at door of the prison on Thursday he arranged to get materials for the worship with that money and narrated the story of Brihaspati God to those present there. The same night Brihaspati God appeared to the king of the town in his dream and said “O King the person you have incarcerated is innocent free him tomorrow”, the king when he woke up early next morning saw the necklace hanging by the peg he sent for the woodcutter and begged his forgiveness and giving him lots of beautiful clothes and jewels he bid him farewell.
As per the instructions of the saint the woodcutter (King) set out to his town he was greatly surprised when he reached near his town he noticed more gardens ponds wells houses for pilgrims and temples than existed before on enquiry the king was informed that all these were built by the queen and her maid, the king was taken by surprise and was greatly angered also thinking “Where from did the queen get so much money in his absence that she got so many new building erected”.
On the other side when the queen heard that the king was returning home she said to her maid “O maid the king had left us in a very Pitiable condition see that the king does not get confused and go back to see us under changed circumstances so go and stand by the entrance of the palace”. Obeying the orders of the queen the maid went and stood by the entrance of the palace and brought the king in when he arrived then the king pulled out his sword angrily and began enquiring tell me where did you get all this money from”. Then the queen narrated the whole sequence of happenings.
The king decided that he would observe fasts every day and narrate the stories of Brihaspati God three times a day. Now the king used to have Gram pulses tied in the corner of this scarf all the time and used to tell stories related to Brihaspati God three times in a day.
One day the king thought of paying visit to the house of his sister he set out to her house riding his horse he saw on the way, some people carrying a dead body, the king stopped them and said “O Brothers! Listen to the story of Brihaspati God and then go”. They said “Look at him we are already saddened by death of our kinsman and he wants to tell us a story” but some of them said “alright tell us story we shall listen to it”.
The king took out the gram pulses and began narrating the story he hardly narrated half the story and the dead men began showing signs of life and by the time the story completed the dead man regained his life and stood up uttering the name of Lord Rama.
The king continued his journey and around evening time he saw a farmer sloughing his field the king offered to tell him the story of Brihaspati God but the farmer declined his offer.
The king kept moving but meanwhile the oxen of the farmer suddenly fell and fainted and the farmer was struck with stomach ache just then the farmer’s wife came with meals for her husband and son. She was shocked to see the farmer and oxen in such pitiable condition. On enquiry her son explained everything in detail the farmer’s wife went running to the horseman and said “I shall listen to your story please come to our field and tell the story there”. The king returned to the farmer’s field and narrated the story with the result the oxen returned from faint and the farmer too became absolutely normal.
And thus the king arrived at the house of his sister his sister extended every hospitality in the welcome of her brother next day when the king woke up he saw everyone busy taking meals the king asked his sister “Is there anyone who has not yet taken meals? At least I can narrate the story of Brihaspati God to him”. The sister said “Brother this country is very strange here people are used to taking meals before getting to their jobs”.
Then she went to the house of a potter whose son was ill she found that no one in the house had eaten anything for three days she said “Would you like to hear sacred stories from my brother?” The potter agreed.
The king came and narrated the sacred stories of Brihaspati God, hearing which the potter’s son became alright. Everyone began praising the king for his kind act. One day the king said to his sister “O sister I would like to return home now, you too get ready”. The king’s sister went to take permission from her mother in law. He mother in law said “All right you may go but don’t take your sons along as your brother has no issue the king’s sister said to the king O brother I shall of course accompany you but my sons wont”. Hearing this king became very sad and returned home alone without take in his sister along.
The king narrated this sad story to the queen and went inside and lied down. The queen O Lord Brihaspati God has given us everything he will bless us with a child also. The same night Brihaspati God appeared to the king in his dreams and said to him “Open your eyes O king forget all your worries your queen is on the family way”. The king was only too pleased to get such good news in his dream.
The wishes of anyone who observes the fast in the worship of Brihaspati God with a clan heart or offers worships to him are fulfilled in the same manner like the queen and the king had their wishes fulfilled related to stories of the deity. Never every ignore Brihaspati God even unknowingly. And even ignoring Brihaspati God loses his peace of mind and all his happiness, so everyone should make sure to take Prasad after listening to the sacred stories and then depart. Remember him in the heart and wish him victory.
