Gajendra Moksham - An Interpretation

Here is a frugal attempt mainly for the benefit of those who are just aware of the Gajendra MokshaNam episode in Shrimadbhagavatam. For those who are well versed with its deep spiritual significance it would certainly act as a trigger to recall their great insights and enjoy the bliss emanated therefrom. Because experiencing a blissful state is what a seeker yearns for.

The very sight of Moon fascinates any human being. Each one of us gets a different feeling and association with it. Our feelings do change when we watch it at different locations, times and situations. Similarly our perspective about the Moon also undergoes a change when we watch it with different intentions, at different angles and from different altitudes. Thus one Moon appeals in many ways to many individuals. No wonder that Purusha Sookta declares that the Moon originates from the Mind of the God. God is understood, felt, experienced, visualized and seen by many persons in the history of mankind in many ways. The narration of God given in our Vedic Scriptures can best be understood by start questioning His existence. Similarly the best way to appreciate our scriptures is to challenge them with logic.

It is idiotic to state that an elephant can pray and Lord Vishnu Himself comes to its rescue, it is beyond any reason to believe that an elephant can have so many wives and they could not save their single husband from the clutches of a crocodile.. so on and so forth. This kind of ridicule is common among many modern Indians when they participate in any discussion on the Vedic Scriptures. At the same time, thanks to the idiot box (now it may well be known as an idiot frame – due aka thin and large LED Screens) the bhakti concept is alive in the common halls of the Indian homes. Further the emergence of new generation writers who wishes to make a quick buck by indulging in an Epic Makeover effort. An article published in Metro Plus of The Hindu with a title An Epic Makeover dated 30^th November, 2013 speaks of this trend in detail. While this is an indulgence of different kind by these young writers to add their imagination to feed the market that buys the fantasies woven around the epics, it does make a reader to be inquisitive about the original works of Valamiki and Vyasa!

At this juncture an effort to be on the track laid by the Sanaathana Vedic Tradition can well be equated with a cake walk. Because whatever interpretation that I share here is not out of my imagination but from the moot questions raised by our Vedic Tradition itself. The only effort I had put in is to collect and collate these interpretations in a manner that might appeal to the new generation of seekers in their own might. One must bear in mind the fact that there is no new story or pattern that is not present in our Vedic Scriptures and the mighty ocean respectively. Therefore all that we weave with the words is nothing but with the help of the original works of our Vedic Lore. In other words our Elders state that the entire vedic literature is the uchchishta (the leftover) of Veda Vyasa. By ignoring this fact alone can we feel the sense of ownership of our so called “own creation”.
