Welcome to F.I.E.L.D.- the First Ismaili Electronic Library and Database.

Ninth Shri Budha Avtar

Immediately, there occurred friction with the PANDIT BRAHMINS, the BRAHMINS expressed their dislike of SHRI BUDHA himself has come to our door. When he was in KRISHNA AVTAR he made a specific Firman to us not to engage in any YAGNA ceremony. Now the significance of YAGNA does not stand in the least.'
The BRAHMINS realized that PANWAS would not any more listen to them; they left their scriptures and began to run. But LO!! A most unusual incident, the chief BRAHMIN MANEKCHAND, while he was running, turned into a camel and the rest of the BRAHMINS into crows. The Brahmins were punished by the degradation of their human lives to those of animals and birds. (A similar incident has happened in ISLAMIC HISTORY- a whole town of HUMANS became MONKIES because of NAFARMANI of GOD.)

In this way the end of the YAGNA and the selfish BRAHMINS was met. Immediately THE LORD SHRI BUDH gave HIS HOY FIRMANS TO PANDWAS, which PIR MABAP has made reference to in Holy Ginan:

EJI NIRMAL MAN KARI DEKHO AMARA PAAY,
TO PAP TAMARA SARAVE JAY;
JE DIDAR AAVI AMARA JOY,
TO ANANT JAGAN NU FALAJ HOY;
AM SAMA CHALI AVO EKAJ MAN,
TO PAGLE PAGLE CROR JAGANANU PUNYAJ THAY.

Meaning: O MOMINS, look at our HOLY FEET with your clean
heart that is bow down before us with your sincere heart,
and all your sins will be pardoned.
Anyone who beholds our HOLY DIDAR, he is benefited
With eternal rewards.
Those who will come towards us ( at our Holy House or
Religious Place) with concentration of love and devotion
Will be rewarded Ten Millions YAGNAS for each step.
It is only through our grace that Momins can make their
Spiritual life safe, peaceful and full of eternal happiness
To their souls.
'O PANDWAS, this is how our grace works,' LORD SHRI BUDH told the PANWAS. Because of PANDWAS' past good actions (PUNYAS) , the MASTER of THE UNIVERSES ('CHAUD BRAHAMAND NA DHANI') - SHRI BUDHA went to the PANDWAS home and saved them from spiritual calamity.

O RAJA AMARE TAMARE BHAKTINU SNEH,
TE KARAN DHARI VIKAT DEH;
POTANA JANINE SARAJ KARI,
TYARE TAMARE DWARE AVYA FARI.

AMARO JE KOI JAPE NAAM,
TENA AME KARIE KAAM;
RIDA MAHE AMNE RAKHE JEH,
TENE AME NA DAIYE CHHEH.

(GINAN: ' PARAB PANDVANO')

Meaning: Oh King JUJESTHAN I had to incarnate, myself, is such an incredibly unusual and different 'ROOP' (DRESS) of BUDHA AVTAR because of your 'PURVA BHAKTI' (Prayers of the Past). I have always considered you as my own children and therefore I have come to take your care - at your doorstep. Whoever remembers us, we look after them. Whoever keep me in their hearts, they are never let down because we send our mercies and we stand by them..

Immediately the five PANDWA brothers and MATA KUNTA bowed in front of SHRI BUDHA and prayed: ' YA MOWLA by your grace and mercies we are now
Saved. YA MOWLA! Thou art our protector. Thou art the Protector of our IMAN and ISHQ.'

LORD SHRI BUDHA then said to the PANDWAS: ' O my MOMINS, now you should remember that the THREE VEDAS (Religious Scriptures) are no more in action. The New VEDA is the 'ATHAR VEDA.' Now KALIYUGA is in Force, and the 'KHAT DARSHANS' (six DARSHANS) are no more valid. Those BRAHMINS who have misguided you did not recognize me. They were ignorant of my Holy AVTAR, of My 'NOOR.' They misguided you by claiming to be learned, but they were IGNORANT.'

PANDWAS then prayed to LORD BUDHA: 'YA MOWLA! We pray for our MUKTI (SALVATION), and for HOLY DIDAR.'

SHRI BUDH said: 'You were originally forgiven of all your sins, but since you doubted my Holy Firmans and performed YAGNA ceremony by advice of Brahmins, now THE ONLY SOLUTION for your MUKTI is that you pay the debts of the killing of EIGHTEEN KHONI people in the battle. Either pay for this debt in this life or you will have to pay in MAHADAN which will be very very hard to bear.'

PANDWAS agreed to pay their debt during their life and accepted the punishment of going up in the freezing Himalayas to most willingly bear worldly sufferings and say most SHUKRANAS.

SHRI BUDH said, ' After the punishment is over, you will be sent to paradise. You will not have to live in KALIYUG. This is for your good, because in the KALIYUG you will not be able to concentrate your mind, your faith will be shaken because of the extremely hard KALIYUG PERIOD.

' In KALIYUG there will be NINETY SEVEN and a HALF percent EVIL and just TWO and a HALF percent GOOD and VIRTUE. Therefore, O PANDWAS, you should go to paradise after your punishment is over.'

' Remember PANDWAS, KALIYUG will be a Dark Period:

- Kings shall be greedy
- Temporal rulers will be cunning
- People will be treacherous
- Teachers will be greedy for their own glorification and will be prey of temptations
- Hardly one out of ten million will be true
- Hardly one out of hundred thousand persons will be charitable minded,

' O PANDWAS, think how great it is that in KALIYUG our grace upon true momins will be thousand fold: Those who will recognize us and keep IMAN, LOVE and DEVOTION they will attain ETERNAL REWARDS.

In past YUGAS, for a THOUSAND sacrifices of time and money by devotees, the reward was merely ONE FOLD, but in KALIYUG, if my true devotees, MOMINS, will sacrifice their time and /or money even once, I shall reward them ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND (125,000) times (' KALIKARMA EK NA SAVA LAKH GANO LABH THAYSE').

'O PANDWAS, because KALIYUG will be so poisonous, 'ATHAR VED' (or HAZAR IMAM'S HOLY FIRMANS) will change frequently according to times. They will be hard to follow, but for MOMINS, because of their sincere love and devotion, it will be their happiness to adopt my Holy Firmans in their lives and thus follow up the ATHAR VED of KALIYUG.'

PANCH PANDWAS then asked the LORD SHRI BUDHA: ' Ya MOWLA! On what continent will KHUDAWIND'S 'NOOR' be Manifest?'

LORD SHRI BUDH said: ' My 'NOOR' shall be manifest in the following regions: -

(1) SENTHAR DVIP (ARABIA)
(2) DEHLAM DESH (IRAN)

(3) JAMPU DVIP (INDIA)

As soon as the above discourse ended, MATA KUNTA presented 'MEMANI' (FOOD OFFERING) to LORD SHRI BUDHA. MOWLA BAPA was much delighted and asked five brothers and MATA KUNTA to dine with him. It was against Hindu tradition to dine with MALECHA (MUSLIM), but PANDWAS did, despite the scandal it would cause in the society.

LORD SHRI BUDHA blessed PANCH PANDWAS and MATA KUNTA. Immediately a 'KUDRATI NAGARA' (DIVINE MUSIC) of the indescribable sound of bells was heard from the sky. Lord SHRI BUDHA said: 'Yes, NOW! Your YAGNA has been accepted and only with my DIVINE GRACE.'

PANCH PADWAS, MATA KUNTA experienced spiritual ecstasy and sang:

DHANYA-DHANYA. Rejoice-Rejoice. Felicitations! Today is a red-letter day for us, for our souls.

YA MOWLA were extremely fortunate to have thy mercy, grace and Holy Didar. Our sins are now completely vanished. All faults, mistakes, and sins are burnt into ashes. YA MOWLA, DHANYA-DHANYA, today is the happiest day of our lives.

' O PANDWAS! But this is not over- there is yet a further test of your faith,' said the LORD SHRI BUDHA, 'Your sins then shall completely vanish.'

'O PANDWAS, the sins you have you have committed by performing YAGNA ceremony which was against my Firman shall be forgiven only after you have slaughtered KAMADHENU COW. This is a further test of your IMAN-FAITH.'

And instantly KAMADHENU (a HOLY COW) descended from the Heaven before the PANDWAS. LORD SHRI BUDH said: 'Look! You have to now slaughter this cow.' (How hard and terribly difficult it was for PANDWAS to take such action, but PANDWAS without hesitating, accepted and followed exactly the Holy Firman of SHRI BUDHA.)

The people of the city of DELHI (HASTINAPUR) began to condemn the PANDWAS, however, miraculously, all the drops of blood of KAMADHENU, which were being shed on the streets of DELHI, turned into precious rubies of the choicest grade. People started to collect them and they became instantaneously rich. Nonetheless the people continued to say the PANDWAS had committed grave sins. They disassociated from the PANDWAS.

But LORD SHRI BUDHA blessed PANDWAS deeply for following his Holy Firmans with utmost sincerity, love, and devotion; consequently they experienced spiritual spiritual enlightenment and they were highly rewarded with spiritual dignity! PANCH PADWAS visualized 'NOORANI TAJ' (MONOGRAM) on their heads! MATA KUNTA visualized her dress to be of 'NOORANI' pattern with also a 'NOORANI' necklace shining on her neck! Such were their rewards and spiritual glory by following up the Holy Firman of SHRI BUDHA, the master of the universes, the creator.

PANCH PANDWAS still had to go to the HIMALAYAS for sufferings by which attain for themselves absolute spiritual purification and then afterwards to live in AMRAPURI (JINANT). LORD SHRI BUDHA mentioned to PANDWAS, 'O PANDWAS, after your HIMALAYAS suffering you will go to VAINKUTH meaning AMRA PURI (PARADISE), since I shall incarnate in MRATYULOK (ON THE EARTH) where I have to grace salvation to ANANT CRORI JIVS (ANANT CRORI SOULS).'

DHARAM RAJA JUJESTHAN prayed to LORD SHRI BUDHA:

SAMI MAT TAT TAME NE CHHORU AME,
SAMI TAM VINA AME RAHIE KEM;
VAIKUNTH MAHE NAHI DARSHAN DIDAR,
SAMI NAR VINA JEM NAARI KARE SHANGAR;
TAM VINA VAIKUNTH MAHE AME NAHI RAHIE,
SAMI JIYA TAME TIYA AME CHALIE;
AME AVASU SAMI TAMARE SATH,
JOIYE DIDAR DIVAS NE RAAT;
SAMI TAM VINYA AMNE SARAG MAHE NAHI SOHAY,
KHARA JAL PINE TRASNA NAHI BUJAY.

O SWAMI Thou art mother and father, we are but your children.
SWAMI without your presence we cannot live.
O SWAMI There is no DIDAR-DARSHAN in VAIKUNTH (Paradise).
O SWAMI A lady decorating herself with a lavish dress
Without her husband being present is awkward.
O SWAMI we shall not go to paradise without SWAMIJI'S presence.
O SWAMI wherever thou shall stay we shall follow, and we shall behold SWAMIJI'S Holy Didar day and night.
O SWAMIJI we dislike to live in SWARG (Paradise) without SAWMIJI.
O SWMIJI paradise is for us like salt water- our thirst cannot be quenched.
O SWAMIJI only by SWAMIJI'S HOLY DIDAR and DARSHAN our RUHANIS thirst shall be quenched.
O SWAMIJI we always want to be with thee SWAMIJI.

PANDWAS at this juncture prayed to the LORD SHRI BUDHA for perpetual protection or 'NOORANI' CHHATRA. SHRI BUDHA pledged a 'KOL' TO PANDWAS of his constant 'NOORANI' shelter and said to PANDWAS, ' O, PANDWAS, remember me always and I shall be always with you.'

'But, O PANDWAS, now let me tell you of KALIYUG'S difficult period on the Earth (MRATYULOK): there will be great unrest, wrongs and sins, therefore your minds will wonder.'

PANDWAS prayed: ' SWAMIJI thou art our mother and father, O SWAMIJI, by thy blessings we shall exist and we should be able to stand firm.'

'PANDWAS, what type of KALIYUG there will be, do you know? Two brothers shall fight; the weak brother will not be looked after; those who are financially unstable will not be regarded. O OANDWAS, you will not find pleasant and a happy living in KALIYUGA.'

PANDAWS prayed to the Lord SHRI BUDHA: ' O SWAMIJI, how then will people of KALIYUGA get salvation.'

' O PANDWAS, merely by our grace shall people get salvation. But our grace shall be showered upon those who will have our recognition, those who will have love and iman on us, those who will follow our Firmans as well as the Pirs' - they shall always be with us and we shall protect them in both worlds. My manifestation shall be in Arabia and in MALECH SWARUP (IN MUSLIM ASPECT).'

PANDWAS in a short while observed three wells. Two wells were sufficiently full of water, whereas one was dry. The two sufficient ones were providing water to each other. The dry one was completely neglected. 'O PANDWAS, this is what KALIYUGA will be like. Therefore, O PANDWAS, you had better stay in SWARGA (PRADISE).'

Again, PANDWAS prayed to the Lord SHRI BUDHA: O SWAMIJI, We reaffirm, we do not wish to go to SWARGA (live in PARADISE) but we want to be with you always, oh our beloved SWAMIJI . . . .'

But, all of a sudden, RAJA DHARAM heard a divine prayer that all of his brothers were already in VAINKUNTH (PARADISE) in 'NOORANI' dress.

RAJA DHARAM became deeply concerned about this matter since he alone was left behind without salvation. He prayed to Lord SHRI BUDHA, ' Oh my Lord, Why have I been left behind? Have I committed any blunder? If so, I pray for forgiveness.' ' Oh my Lord I do not remember I have ever committed sin my whole life.'
'RAJA DHARAM, remember you have lied just once in your lifetime, that was during the battle MAHABARAT, with the intention of winning the battle. Now in compensation for one fault, you shall have to live the whole of your life in the jungle or alternatively you have to jump into this tub of boiling hot water here in front of you.'

RAJA DHARAM began to tremble, was much perplexed and thought that how terrible it was to have done NA FARMANI. Because of the NA FARMANI of PANDWAS' following BRAHMIN preacher MANEKCHAND and ignoring Lord SHRI KRISHNA'S Holy Firman 'TIL NA LEKHA SHAH MARO LESE,' or each and every action is accounted for in this and/ or in the next world.

At this moment RAJA DHARAM was ready to obey the Holy Firman and plunge into the tub. But he became frightened, hesitated and decided to first check the hotness of the water. To his surprise, the water wasn't so hot-though it gave the appearance of boiling water it was luke warm and bearable for bathing.

RAJA DHARAM pleaded to Lord SHRI BUDHA, 'Oh my Lord , I am now ready to jump into the tub.'

LORD SHRI BUDHA said: ' O RAJA DHARAM, the unique opportunity is gone - you were to obey my firman instantly. Now there will not be the same benefits:

VALTA TE SAMI RAJA OCHARE,
ETO CHHE MOTO MARAM;
VEN AMARA VAHI GAYA,
HAVE NAAHYA NU NAHI PUNYA.

Meaning: LORD SHRI BUDHA said: There is always a divine mystery in my firman. Now the opportunity is gone and you will be rewarded to an extent not as much as you would have been.

' O RAJA DHARAM, nevertheless, now see the result of following my holy Firman even partially or to some smaller extent!'

RAJA DHARAM most amazingly visualized the salvation NINE CRORES RUHANIS and at this time RAJA DHARAM was also appointed the Mukhi of these NINE CRORE JIVS (RUHANIS).

' O RAJA DHARAM, behold our glory!! Think! Our divine grace in no time parted blessings for the salvation to millions of RUHANIS without their any remarkable efforts. This is how our divine grace works!!!'

THE PANCH PADWAS, SATI DRUPATIJI, MATA KUNTA, and PANDWA family were recalled from paradise. Hey were all together, and in a short while KALIYUGA was established. KALIYUGA was announced on a Friday and it came into force on from Sunday. Lo! Things were no more the same. Incredibly different incidents were experienced by the PANDWA family, which they had never seen or experienced in the past.

LORD SHRI BUDHA and the PANDWA family were once walking in the jungle when they saw a magnificent, large and most valuable gold brick. LORD SHRI BUDHA said: 'PANDAWS now watch what happens.'

PANDAWS saw a group of sixteen persons passing the valuable gold brick. They were overjoyed at the fortune they had found and decided to share it amongst themselves.

Upon carrying on their journey they became, at one point, unbearably hungry. It was decided that eight of the sixteen would go into town – HASTINAPUR (DELHI) – to find food and the remainder eight would watch and take proper care of the gold brick.

But Lo! Because of the effect of KALIYUGA, the caretakers of the brick planned the killing, upon return, of their fellows who had gone to town.

The eight persons, who had gone into town to bring food, ate delicious food heartily and thought to mix poison in the sweets before serving it to those who had stayed back with the brick.

The caretakers as was planned had killed the eight returning with the food. But also, the lives of the caretakers, who ere so happy that they were successful I killing their colleagues and in becoming sole owners of the fortune, ended in misfortune. The caretakers, before sharing the fortune decided to eat the food that was brought from town – little did they know that it was poisoned. They died instantly. All sixteen people were killed

“ O PANDAWS did you see what happened?”

“Yes, SWAMIJI, but whatever happened we firmly desire to be with you: Thou art merciful, absolute master, and our saviour.”

“Oh SWAMIJI, Thou art the independent and may decide our fate and destiny.”

In the end, LORD SHRI BUDHA, by the prayer of PANDWAS, decided to send them in MRATYULOK on the Earth. And PANDWAS took rebirths at different places:

RAJA DHARAM (JUJESTHAN) in KASHMIR
(His mother: LOCHNA, his father: RAGAVI)

ARJUN in UNCHNAGARI
(He was born as MATAPUTAR; his father was a silk merchant.)

BHIMSEN in the east at Jalandhar

SOHDEV in MALVA DESH at UJENPURI NAGARI – on the south side.

NAKUL at BANGLA DESH.
( Born in KANABI KACHHI CAST, dealers in vegetable products.)

SATI DRUPATI and MATAKUNTA

(Both from Devlok were born in DELHI in CHANDRA KUL or CHANDRA family.)

PANDWAS had to take rebirths because they had, after killing their cousins for RAJ (RULE) of the country, created love for them and became concerned that they killed they had killed them: In spite of the fact that the battle had been induced by SHRI KARSAN.

SHRI KARSAN had told PANDWAS to fight against KORWAS because KORWAS owned immense land (GADHA GIRNAR, HASTINAPURI, SINDH, PURABH, SHAH, JANPURI, DESH DAKHAN, SHER SATARO and many more parts of India) but refused to honor SHRI KARSAN’S suggestion that they part with just five towns so that the PANDWAS may live united with them.

KORWAS were arrogant and did not listen to SHRI KARSANJI’S FIRMAN. They commented: “Oh Krishna, what can you understand in politics and economics – you are merely a caretaker of cows.”

SHRI KRISHNA told KOVAS: “KORVAS, although PANDAWS are just five in number and not as wealthy as your big, well-off family, PANDWAS are undoubtedly strong and powerful in their own capacity.”

KORWAS just ignored SHRI KRISHNA: “ Oh dark-skinned KRISHNA, what do you understand in high affairs? We shall not part with even an inch of our land. Oh KRISHNA, you and the PANDWAS can do anything you wish – Oh KRISHNA convey our message to RAJA JUJESTHAN (RAJA DHARAM.”

The battle was fought by the advice of SHRI KRISHNA and the PANDWAS killed the KORWAS. Although it was an act of killing humans, because it was KRISHNA’S Firman, PANDWAS prospered prospered in both worlds, spiritual and temporal.

PANCH PADWAS by the Holy order of Lord SHRI KRISHNA left their home, the land they were ruling, and went to HIMALAYAS for sufferings in order to attain purification of themselves. After this they would take rebirths in MRATYULOK.
At this time the LORD SHRI BUDHA decided to, physically leave his world. Just before his departure, because the holy river GANGES had transmitted -- in spirit -a message to the ADASATH TIRATH (or SIXTY EIGHT PLACES OF PILGRIMAGE) about the divine mystery of Lord SHRI KRISHNA’S adoption of BUDHA AVTAR, the sixty-eight TIRATES bowed before (spiritually) the DIVINE LIGHT of LORD SHRI BUDHA and expressed their reluctance to live in KALIYUG. All these PILGRIM SHRINES prayed to the Lord: “Oh our Lord: Thou shall not be with us therefore we are most unwilling to stay in KALIYUG.”

Lord SHRI BUDH said: No! My DIVINE LIGHT shall be manifest in the KALIYUG – in SENTHAR DVIP (ARABIA), DEHLAM DESH (IRAN) and (BHARAT, NDIA). My advent shall be in “MANKHA VESH” or human dress.

Next, all the wandering evil spirits approached the LORD SHRI BUDHA and prayed: “Oh our Lord! What is going to be our fate?” To which the Lord replied: “You remain as you are; there will be a large number of misguided people in KALIYUG who will believe and worship you instead of my divine “NOOR.” Bu these people will not receive my divine grace.”

The evil spirits were satisfied at the LORD SHRI BUDHA’S confirmation on the above point.

Thereafter, the IDOLS approached Lord SHRI BUDHA (in spirit) and prayed: “Oh our Lord, Your presence will no more be with us, therefore we shall be handicapped. Not only that, but we will be unable to carry the burden of sins of the Puja (prayers and offerings conducted upon us – we are absolutely unauthorized for it.”
LORD SHRI BUDH said: “Do not worry about this. On the day of judgment, those who will have performed these PUJAS will be questioned and justice will be imparted to them.”

The idols were satisfied with the DIVINE ORDER and explanation.

Because the PANCH PADWAS corrected their faults by following the divine Holy Firman, RAJA JUJESTHAN, by the boundless grace and mercy of the divine “NOOR” was appointed Mukhi of NINE CRORE souls and at the same time the divine authority LORD SHRI BUDHA pledged his divine “KOL” for the salvation of NINE CRORE JIVS with MOKSHA, MUKTI and NOORANI DIDAR (Amen).

(During our times, in FARTAL VELA (which is under the MUKHISHIP of PIR HASSAN KABIRDIN MABAP), PIR SABJALI once said in his waez that HAZARAT IMAM AGA ALI SHAH (A.S.) on the day of BEEJ SHUKRAVAR in the suburb of AHMADABAD, India declared and said in a Holy Firman that today is the auspicious day of BEEJ and it is a very delightful occasion that the PANCH PANDWAS’ RUHANIS have this day reached, by the boundless grace and mercies, the ‘ASALWATAN’ or final destination at La Makan and become “ONE” in union with the “NOOR.”)

The divine project of DWAPUR JUGA was in this way accomplished and the YUGA ended. Immediately the fourth KALIYUGA began.
