Rebirths -1

Do you know that many people believe in rebirths and say that the soul will take so many births in the process of reaching God. In Bhagavathgeetha also there is mention about rebirths. Here I am giving some characters in Bhagavathgeetha and their previous births which are quite interesting.

Devaki & Vasudevudu: we all know that Devaki and Vasudevudu are the parents of Lord Krishna. In former birth they were saint couple with names Sutapudu and Prusni. They pray Lord Vishnu and when he appears before them they ask him to born as their son. Then Lord Vishnu agrees their wish and gives boon that in  three births he will be their son. And in that birth he was called prusnigarbhudu. Then in the second birth the couple was Kasyapudu and Aditi and their son was Vamanudu. In the third birth the couple born as Vasudevudu and Devaki and their son is Lord Krishna.

Kamsudu as we know the uncle of Lord Krishna, also having former birth. He was Kalanemi named demon in former birth with hundred heads and hundred pairs of hands. He fights with Lord Vishnu at the time of “palasagaramadhanam” and dies. But the priest of demons makes him to alive. The Kalanemi prays for Lord Brhamha and asks him to bless him not to have the death from gods. Then Lord Brhama says that his desire will fulfill in next birth. And in the next birth he borns as Kamsudu and dies in the hands of Lord Krishna we had taken the birth of human being.

And the demons sent by Kamsudu are also having former births. Poothana as we know who came to kill Lord Krishna was Ratnamala in her former birth. She was daughter of Bali and at the time of vamanavatharam by seeing Bali she feels as breast feeding him and because of that desire in the next birth she borns as Poothana and remaining story we know.

Sakatasurudu who comes as cart also having former birth. He was son of Hiranyakshudu in former birth with name Uthkachudu. Once he enters  the ashram of saint Lomasudu and destroys his garden at that time the saint says in anger as he destroyed the plants his body will also be destroyed. Then  Uthkachudu prays the saint then the saint says that in the next birth he will born as Sakatasurudu and gets “mukti” by dyeing in the hands of Lord Krishna.

Thrunavarthudu who comes as whirlwind to kill Lord Krishna was king of Pandudesam in previous birth. In that birth once he was playing with his queens and neglects saint Dhurvasudu. Because  this the saint curses him to born as demon. Then he tooks the birth as Thrunavarthudu and dies in the hands of Lord Krishna.
