VASAVAMBA’S MESSAGE
Standing before the fire-pit, after due prayers to the
Nagareswaraswamy and Vindhyavasini idols, and Janaradhanaswamuy and
Kanakamala with due rituals, Vasavamba in ringing tones advised
"Venerable Acharya and esteemed citizens of this Mahanagara! Please
listen to my final message – devote to act as protective armor and
none can shatter or remove it. It is impregnable and emancipates its
adorers. Have absolute faith in the omnipotent Lord Siva. He lifts
Drive off the Arishad vargas. Nullify them, if ever they try to
overpower you. Recognize the power of vignana and master it, and it
alone conquers the unconquerable.
Our community will be blessed with superb powers of intellect,
exemplary shrewdness and commendable presence of mind. Bear it in
mind, to lift the weak, adore the pious; protect the refugees, and
show non-violence to any at any time.
Dedicate yourself to noble causes. Give up life if necessary for
establishing Dharma (good).
Trust in the soul-force and it will repel any earthy potentate,
however much military might he has at his command to the extent of
exercising paramount over all, and all the continents. And certainly
it alone boomeranging on him, floors him in the end. Passive
resistance, the visible manifestation of the soul force nourished by
the Supreme Providence humbles the satanic power and prostrating
itself acknowledges the formers invincibility and superiority!
Atmahuti wrings tears even in the steel frame and wins world
sympathy. Acquire it! Accumulate it. Enrich it by putting it to
right cause. It crowns one with immortal fame indelible and rewards
with awards innumerable not by the third party, but by the opponent
itself. Follow the ashram dharma strictly.
Don't be under the illusion of the eternity of the worldly
pleasures, or their monetary gratification.
Don’t be alienated from Vaideeka Karmas. Adherence to them ensures
everlasting bliss finally, fear not the danger from that treacherous
autocrat Vishnu Vardhan; I cursed that his head would be
disintegrated into sahasrakoti atoms even before his foot touch our
holy Penugonda soil and his soldiers become pretas. And finally
rather importantly, beware of the dastardly aridly impact of Dhana;
indeed, it is the life breath, but, like cancerous worm, it feeds
upon the fed and endangers the very existence. Earn it only to put
to right cause.
Never be swept off by its eluding charms; for, it corrupts and
pollutes, if adored unduly, Its corrosion affects scraping all the
imperious sheen of life and lands the victim in yama loka for
eternal damnation. Mammon worshippers never rise to heights, but
fall into abyss, though they command even the elements.
Out of your honest earnings give a quarter to the destitute and more
less unfortunate; another to the Kula gurus – Brahmins, third for
sustenance and graceful living and the last quarter for religious
activities, inclusive of manes for the performance of sraddha, anna
dana etc, beware of the unethical impact of hoarding and greed. They
are like obnoxious pisachis regale at the destruction of their own
benefactors.
Moreover they hold their victims in tight grip and squeeze them to
the last drop. Above all greed and hoarding smother their votaries
in eternal shame and submerge them in ocean of grief. They never
bring dignity nor add luster to live. It is nothing but a living
death, if they are relied upon.
Drive off those sinister evils and lead a life overflowing with
integrity and divine ideals humility. If practiced with tenacity the
fourteen worlds praise and adore you as worshipful deities both
during living and after death too”.
Saying thus, she surveyed the assembled from corner to corner and
seeing them all tear-stained, though exuberant in spirit at their
final advice. She looked at the Nissvartha Thyaga murthys- voluntary
renounces, who bubbling with inexplicable ethereal joy showed
willingness by their looks to jump into Agni gunda at the wink of
her eye.
