News India Live, Digital Desk: We all have been hearing one thing since childhood, “If you do good, you will go to heaven and if you do bad, you will go to hell.” But have you ever thought that in this world of billions and trillions of people, who keeps track of whose ‘virtue’ and whose ‘sin’? This is not an easy task. Was born to solve this mystery Lord Chitragupta Of.
Today’s story is about how a special creation of Brahma ji changed the way of justice of the entire creation.
When Yamraj got worried
According to mythology, when Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, made Yamraj the god of death, he also gave him a big responsibility – to punish man based on his deeds. In the beginning everything was fine, but gradually the number of creatures started increasing. Yamraj got confused as to who was telling the truth and who was lying. It became impossible to count the sins and virtues of so many people by relying on their memory.
Yamraj reached Brahma ji and told him his problem. He said, “O Grandfather! I need an assistant who is intelligent, who has an infallible memory and who can keep track of everything without any bias.”
Thousands of years of penance and birth of Chitragupta
Hearing the problem of Yamraj, Brahma ji went into deep samadhi (penance). It is said that after thousands of years of concentration, Lord Brahma ‘body’ A divine man appeared from the (body). He had a pen in one hand and ink in the other.
Because they were born from the body of Lord Brahma, hence their name ‘Kayastha’ Due to his ability to know everyone’s thoughts secretly and ‘Chitragupta’ It was said.
Why did Chitragupta get this work?
Lord Brahma ordered him that his job was to keep an eye on the activities of every living being. The complete record of what not only humans, animals, birds and every living being thinks and does, started being recorded in Chitragupta’s book. Which we also call ‘Foreword’ or in popular language ‘Book of Fate’.
The biggest reason for giving this responsibility to Lord Chitragupta was his concentration and objectivity Was. They administer justice without fear or pressure from anyone. Chitragupta made Yamraj’s work so easy that now as soon as someone left his body, the complete log of his deeds was in front of Yamraj.
What it means for our lives
Often people think that no one will know about the mistake they have made when they are alone. But this story of Lord Chitragupta reminds us that there is always a witness to our every thought and every action.
Just after Diwali, on the day of Bhai Dooj, people of Kayastha community and Sanatani religion worship Kalam-Dawat, which is a symbol of respect towards Lord Chitragupta. It is not just a puja, but a promise to ourselves that we will follow the right path and fill our ‘book’ with good deeds.
