The Incredible Story Of Veda Vyasa's Birth
Devotions, knowledge, philosophy, tenacity, etc. and people associated with them has been the absolute ancestors and divine past of our beautiful nation. Among them we have been listening about a number of saints and sages who have done such a great piece of work to build the spirituality of the universe.
One was Maharishi Ved Vyasa, a devine soul who created the epic called Mahabharata. Today, lets learn the story of Vyasa's birth in this article.
In this verse, we’ll be knowing the story of Vyasa’s birth. How he came into the existence? How he got his name? What was the purpose of his birth? etc. etc. So, let’s know vedavyasa birth history.
Once upon a time in the existence, there was a sage called Maharishi Parashara. He was the author of the first ever Puran- The Vishnu Puran.
Once he was travelling near the river Yamuna, he saw a young lady who was from the family of fisherman and helped the travelers to cross the river in her wooden boat. The sage got attracted to the girl. He went towards the girl and asked her to take him across the river, she paddled on.
In the mid of the river, Parashara grabed her hand and told her about his feeling and asked her to make love together. Her name was Satyawati also known as Matsyagandha due the fishy smell in her body. Satyawati hesitated but after his repeated call she agreed for the same but at once she put some conditions for the sage.
The first one she told that wait for bank and when they both would be involved in together, no one shall see them. Parashara agreed and spoke some Mantra and soon an island appeared and the surrounding became foggy around them.
The second one she asked that the fishy smell from her body should turn into some fragrance and her virginity shall be maintained even after this togetherness. The sage agreed and pronounced the mantras to turn the fishy smell to a beautiful fragrance and gave the boon that her virginity shall be maintained even after their relationship.
Then she asked him to give boon that her child shall be knowledgeable and learned and a big sage himself not a fisherman instead. The sage welcomed this condition too and said TATHASTU.
The two then went on to make love on the foggy island. The sage then left the island. On the same day Devi Satyavati gave birth to a boy who was later known as Veda Vyasa. He was dark so he got his name Krishna and since he was born on an island (dwip), he was named Dvaipayana.
Well, the boy was Vyasa, full name being Krishna Dvaipayana Veda Vyasa. He went for a strong Tap (tenacity) in search of the purpose of his life on one condition that whenever his mother would remember him and call him, he shall report.
He was believed to be a part of Lord Vishnu. Ved Vyasa only was the creator, the author of the great epic of all time, the Mahabharata. In fact, Ved Vyasa was the great grandfather of Kauravas and Pandavas. When he had to write Mahabharata, he requested Lord Ganesha to aid him with it. Lord Ganesha put a condition that he’d write only if Vyasa would dictate the whole Mahabharata in one go, and thus, Mahabharata came into existence.
So, these were the legends behind the birth of the great Maharishi Ved Vyasa. If he wouldn’t exist, Mahabharat wouldn’t exist, and we wouldn’t know who were Pandavas, Kauravas, Guru Dronacharya and Bhishma pitama…
