Learned wife of Bhuddha |
Nepal was than a Indian state . Koshal was in todays Nepal . The capital of the Kingdom was Kapilabastu where Buddha was born . His father name was Suddhodhan and Mother name was Maya devi .
The god like child came into their lap to promote joy and happiness. People were in happiness and joy with the new prince. It was a wealthy state. The king celebrated the birth of prince in a royal way . The king called the royal astrologer to make prophecy regarding the prince future. The royal astrologer prophesied that the prince would leave the palace in search of truth.
Later on the king provided him the best education available in those days. Guru and teacher taught him the Indian way of education based on the question, "Why" ? He developed himself not only as an ordinary game changer but as a changer of the thought process of the civilization.
Koshal was not a Ganarajya . But a neighboring state of Koshal was a Ganarajya .
The Ganarajya was situated north of Gangaridi civilization . Ganagaridi civilization was a famous Indian civilization. They fought on behalf of the Augustus into the Romanian civil war . The civilization was so powerful that Alexander soldiers denied to cross more .
Suddoappo was the king of such a Ganarajya . Amita devi was his wife . The queen gave birth of a child. Josodhara was the name of their child.
Jasodhara lost her mother in her girlhood. The king called the astrologer to make prophecy regarding his daughter future. They said to the King that the princes would be a learned and spiritual one. The father appointed a guru and teacher to teach her.
In other palace , day by day, the prince became a learned one. He taught philosophy and Vedas but was not so much interested in materialistic life . He did not like to participate into the royal ceremony as an ordinary people do to join.
One day Siddhartha was sitting in the Garden. All on a sudden, an arrowed crane fall down in front of him . He collected the crane and did everything to save its life. Devadutta one of his young relative came to him and asked to return the crane. Siddhartha denied to that . Devadutta complained to the King. Suddhadon, the king and father of Siddhartha, asked to return the crane according to the rule. But Siddartha denied to follow the order saying that I have saved the life of the crane so it would be my right and duty to protect the crane. The King was in doubt about his royal future . The King wanted to tie him into a marriage life.
In another palace, Josodhara's devotion to study made her popular as a learner.Her fame spreaded over crossing all boundaries. She used to ask her father why she was wearing the best clothes. She also added why not the others peoples of the palace would get this ? Why they wouldn't get the best food?
Suddodhon, the King of Koshal decided to declare a royal day to get Siddhartha married. In those days Indian women were free to decide their husband. Arab invasion destroyed all of the great things of the culture of India.
Listening this Josoadhara decided to come to Koshal without royal support. She listened about the astrologer prophecy .And also listened the incidental reaction of Siddhartha seeing the wounded crane . The second incident impressed her.
On a specific day she entered into the Koshal palace in an ordinary dress and with due permission. Siddhartha was busy and consulting with other candidates. They were all princes of different Indian states and they came into the Koshal as a royal guest .They all were the royal host of the Kingdom. They came in Koshal to meet Siddhartha with their marriage proposals.
Josoadhara entered into the room as a candidate to propose Siddhartha. Seeing the learned and beautiful girl like Josoadhara , Siddhartha became speechless. He felt that there was a relation exists in between the two. He got married Josoadhara.
Returning from the Koshal ,she faced her father. She told the king that she had got married Siddhartha .
Listening this his father said to her," Knowing the prophecy how you have dared to get marry Siddhartha ?
She said to her father ,"I have come to the earth only to help him. This birth is my last journey into the materialistic world. Father ! it is a spiritual journey towards salvation. ". she told it according to the Hindu beliefs of rebirth of life . The couple passed thirteen years of life in together. Siddhartha was enjoying his sons presence . Rahul was his son. Siddhartha was leading a luxurious life in the palace . As his order, one of his servant called a Hawker to purchase toy for Rahul . The Hawker was an old man Siddhartha purchased all of his toys. In exchange of toys , Siddharth wanted to give him a lot of money. But he denied to take the excess money.
He said to the Siddhartha ," I am a poor man . Nobody will believe me. Everybody will think that I have stolen it. "
Siddhartha asked the servant ,
"What is the poverty"?
The employee of the palace said to him
" In poverty peoples lives in grief and sorrow".
Siddhartha decided to travel the city to know the world. One day he started to visit the city riding on a horse. Suddenly his horse confronted an old man who was about to cross the city road. His servant Shandak help the old man to cross the city road. Siddhartha never saw a such old man.
He ask the servant "Who is he"?
Servant said to him, "He is a old man ,Sir "?
"How he become so old" the prince said to him.
The servant said to the prince,
"Everyone we should be like him. It is our last journey of life".
The prince again said to the servant, " I would be like him"?
The servant muttered,
" Your Majesty! Everyone!"
Another day he met a patient. The patient was in grief and sorrow. Seeing the grief and sorrow he became unmindful.
Another day, he asked the servant to go into the jungle .On the way he saw a man was speaking to some peoples .They were all listening him eagerly. Siddhartha said to the servant
"Who is he"?
Shanddak said to him
"Your Majesty! He is a monk who has sacrificed his life for knowledge and wisdom. He is delivering lectures to his disciples."
He returned to the palace. But his thought process jerked him. He became surprised seeing how eagerly people's were listening a half naked man forgetting royal presence. How was it possible?
After a few days , at deep night seeing his wife in sleep with the child, Siddhartha left the palace to know the unknown truth. Through a deep meditation and yoga practices he became Buddha.
Josodhara knew that Siddhartha would leave the house and would deny the apparent truth ,i.e, Maya. Apparent truth is shadowing the truth. Jasodhara began to practice of yoga and meditation .Her devotions to the spiritualty kept her in full of joy.
One day the two kings, father and father in law met Jasodhara and offered her to rule the state unitedly . She denied the offer and entered into the spiritual life. Jasodhara did not leave the palace but her devotions to the spiritual life was great.
Goutam Buddha after Maha Nirvan(Salvation) returned to Janapad. His name and fame was spread all over India.
Listening the come back of Buddha , Jasodhara met him. He joined the Buddha Bihar as a Bhikhuni (women monk).Every day she used to come to the Buddha's spiritual parliament to listen to him . Rahul also joined the Buddha Sangha.
One day she came to the spiritual parliament and said to the Buddha,
"My journey is complete and I should have to go into my place"
Listening this, Goutam Buddha opened his eyes and smiled. And again closed his eyes. Jasodhara left the world completing her journey .
Jasodhara was a great work of God. Lifestyles and wellness embedded into her. She was a great and learned woman .She knew her role into the world. Political power was on her feet. But she preferred to the spiritual lifestyle. Being a woman and mother , she denied the kingdom and luxurious lifestyles . It was her greatness. She was not the enemies to her lover. Being deprived from a marriage life she never complained to anybody. The world remember her still now. Her lifestyle is an example to everybody disregarding caste ,religion and creed or age and time.
