God Kabir Safeguarding Indramati in Dwapar Yuga

God Kabir taking Indramati under Protection in the Dwapar Yuga

In Dwapar Yuga, King Chandravijay had a devout wife named Indramati, who deeply respected saints and had a guru. Her guru advised her, "Serving saints and feeding them is highly beneficial." Following this guidance, she practiced fasting on Ekadashi and chanting mantras, engaging wholeheartedly in devotion. Her guru promised that by feeding saints, she would continue to be a queen in future births and attain heaven.

Determined, Indramati vowed to feed a saint every day before having her own meals. This routine continued for years. However, during a Kumbh festival in Haridwar, all the saints went to bathe in the Ganga, leaving her unable to find anyone to feed for several days. Sticking to her pledge, Indramati refused to eat. On the fourth day, she told her maid, "If you can't find a saint today, I won't survive."

Compassionate Supreme God Kabir, knowing her plight, arranged for her devotion to be honored. The maid looked from the balcony and spotted a saint in white clothes approaching.

In Dwapar Yuga, Supreme God Kabir manifested as Karunamay. The maid informed the queen, "A man who looks like a saint is here." The queen replied, "Bring him quickly." When the maid approached, Karunamay Sahib asked, "Why does the queen need me?" After hearing the maid's explanation, he stated, "If the queen requires me, she should come here. I won't go to her as it could be seen as disrespectful."

The maid returned and relayed this to the queen. Indramati insisted, "Take my hand; let’s go." Upon reaching him, the queen reverently prostrated and requested, "Supreme Being, I wish to carry you on my shoulder." Karunamay replied, "I wanted to see if your devotion was genuine or if you were just hungry."

He then entered the palace with her, and the queen personally prepared food. Karunamay stated, "I do not eat; my body is not meant for that." To which the queen responded, "Then I won’t eat either." Karunamay said, "Alright, bring the food; I will partake."

The Supreme God Kabir, in the form of Karunamay, then asked the queen, "Who taught you this practice?" Indramati explained that her guru had instructed her on worshiping Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, observing Ekadashi, undertaking pilgrimages, goddess worship, performing shraadhs, and serving saints.

Karunamay Sahib replied, "The path your guru has given you will keep you trapped in the cycle of birth and death, heaven and hell, without liberating you from the sufferings of 8.4 million births." Indramati protested, "All saints boast about themselves. You won't speak ill of my guru, regardless of whether I attain liberation."

Karunamay (God Kabir) Sahib ji pondered how to persuade these innocent souls, who were willing to die rather than abandon their blind beliefs. He said, "Daughter, it’s your choice. I am not criticizing or speaking ill of your guru; I merely want to point out that the path of bhakti you follow contradicts the scriptures. It won’t grant you salvation, nor will it absolve you of your sins. Listen carefully: on the third day, you will die. Neither your guru nor your misguided worship will save you."

Fear gripped the queen at the mention of death, prompting her to ask, "Can my life be saved?" Karunamay replied, "Yes, if you take initiation from me, become my disciple, and abandon your former practices."

Indramati expressed concern, "I’ve heard that changing gurus incurs sin." God Kabir responded, "That’s a misconception. If one doctor’s treatment fails, we seek another. Similarly, you can advance to a higher level of teaching. Will you spend your entire life in the fifth grade? You must move on and pursue further studies. I have come to teach you."

Though hesitant, the thought of death made her reconsider. Indramati agreed, and Karunamay (God Kabir) Sahib gave her initiation, instructing, "On the third day, Kaal will appear in my form. Do not speak to him. Chant the mantra I’ve given you for two minutes, then look at him respectfully. Typically, when your guru arrives, you should prostrate immediately, but this is my special order for this occasion." The queen replied, "Understood."

The queen was anxious as she fervently chanted her mantra. Kaal, taking the form of her guru, Karunamay Sahib, called out, "Indramati, Indramati." Terrified, she continued her sumiran (chanting) without looking up. After two minutes, she glanced at Kaal, and his true form became visible. Recognizing her powerful mantra, Kaal remarked, "I’ll see you another time. You’ve escaped this time," and left.

Overjoyed, the queen rushed to her maidservants, exclaiming that she was supposed to die but had been saved by her guru. She shared the news with the king, who dismissed her claims, saying, "If Kaal had really come, he wouldn't have let you go. These saints merely deceive you." The queen couldn’t accept her husband's skepticism and returned to her room, feeling elated.

Moments later, Kaal reappeared as a snake and bit her. Realizing the gravity of the situation, the queen cried out for help. Her servants rushed in just as the snake slithered away through a small water outlet. As she fainted, she called out to her guru.

Karunamay (God Kabir) Sahib ji appeared and recited a mantra, demonstrating his power to restore life without needing incantations. Indramati felt immense gratitude, saying, "Oh Bandichhor, had I not been in your refuge today, I would have died." Supreme God Kabir replied, "Indramati, I wouldn’t have allowed Kaal to enter your home or harm you, but you wouldn’t have trusted me otherwise. You might have thought that no crisis would befall you, believing your guru had misled you. Thus, I gave you this small jolt to help you develop faith."

God Kabir (Karunamay) declared, "You will die when I wish it."

Garibdas ji says

Kaal fears God Kabir (Supreme God Kabir), and death (jaura) is akin to the dust on Kabir Sahib's shoes, representing a servant. This dust is revered as he proclaims that he will not only serve your devotee.

Kaal, the Lord (Brahm) of the twenty-one brahmands and the father of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, grinds the flour for my Kabir Sahib, confirming his role as a servant. Meanwhile, jaura (death) fetches water for my Kabir Sahib, acting as a special maidservant. These two true servants reside in the court of my Supreme God Kabir.

After a few days, Karunamay (God Kabir) Sahib ji returned and granted Satnaam to Queen Indramati. Seeing her deep devotion, he then bestowed upon her Saarnaam and helped her attain Shabd. Supreme God Kabir visited Indramati frequently. She often requested, "Please advise my husband, Lord. If he also surrenders at your feet, my life will be fulfilled."

Kabir Sahib urged Chandravijay, "You should also take naam. This kingdom and luxury are temporary; soon, one will face 84 lakh births in various life forms." The king replied, "Lord, I will not take naam, nor will I restrict your disciple from giving away the treasury or organizing any spiritual discourses. I will not oppose her." Kabir asked, "Why won’t you take naam?" Chandravijay answered, "I need to attend parties with other kings."

Karunamay (God Kabir) said, "What hindrance will naam cause in attending parties? Enjoy gatherings, eat cashews, drink milk and juice, but avoid alcohol, as it is a grave sin." The king remained unyielding.

On the queen's behalf, Karunamay (God Kabir) advised the king again, stressing that without naam, his life would be wasted. The king reiterated, "Guruji, please do not insist I take naam. I will not object to my wife's actions, no matter how much charity she gives or how many satsangs she holds." Sahib replied, "Daughter, his mind is corrupt, blinded by the fleeting pleasures of this life. Remain devoted at God's feet and seek your welfare. Here, no one is anyone's true partner; these are mere relationships based on past deeds. Perform virtuous acts for your ultimate welfare, daughter."

When Indramati reached the age of eighty, even though she was meant to die at forty, her body began to tremble. Karunamay Sahib ji asked, "Indramati, what do you desire? Do you wish to go to Satlok?" She replied, "Supreme God, I am ready and fully prepared."

Karunamay Sahib ji inquired, "Do you have any attachment to your grandchildren?" Indramati responded, "Not at all, Supreme God. You have bestowed upon me such pure knowledge. What more could I wish for in this troubled world?"

Supreme God Kabir (Karunamay) said, "Come, daughter." Indramati passed away, and Supreme God Kabir, the Bandichhor, took her soul upward. In this very brahmand, there exists a Mansarover (lake) where souls must bathe. Appearing in his Guru form, Supreme God Kabir kept her soul at the Mansarover for some time.

Then, Supreme God Kabir Bandichhor ji asked Indramati, "If you have any worldly desires, you must take birth again. If there’s anything left in your heart, you cannot go to Satlok." Indramati replied, "Sahib, you are omniscient. I have no desires, only a longing for your feet. However, I have a concern: my husband never objected to my religious practices. In today's world, husbands often hinder their wives. Had he forbade me, I would not have sought refuge at your feet, nor attained my welfare. If his cooperation in this auspicious act benefits him, Lord, please have mercy on him as well."

Seeing her still entangled in thoughts of her husband, God Kabir said, "Alright, daughter, you may stay here for two to four years."

Two years later, King Chandravijay began to succumb to death because he had not taken naam. The messengers of Yam arrived, and the king felt dizzy, collapsing in the courtyard. They strangled him, causing him to choke and lose control of his bodily functions.

Karunamay (God Kabir) Sahib ji said to Queen Indramati, "Look at your king's condition." He showed her this scene from Mansarover. The queen pleaded, "Lord, if he deserves any reward for his cooperation in bhakti, please have mercy on him." Despite her affection, God Kabir (Karunamay ji) realized she might become entangled in Kaal's trap again.

So, God Kabir descended to where King Chandravijay lay unconscious in his palace, with the Yamdoots hovering nearby. Upon God Kabir's arrival, the Yamdoots fled like vultures from a carcass, and the king regained consciousness. God Kabir stood before him, visible only to Chandravijay. The king fell at His feet, begging, "Please forgive me, Beneficent; save my life," realizing his dire situation.

God Kabir replied, "King, the situation remains unchanged. You must take naam." The king said, "I will take naam right now." God Kabir then bestowed naam updesh upon him, declaring, "Now, I will grant you two more years of life. If even a single breath is missed, the consequences of your deeds will still apply."

Due to his past deeds of cooperation in auspicious actions and two years of devoted sumiran, God Kabir granted all three naams to Chandravijay, guiding him to salvation. "Hail KavirDev ji, Jai Bandichhor!"

Supreme God Kabir not only extends the life of true devotees but also protects their families, as demonstrated in these accounts. Although these stories are from ancient times, many people today find them hard to believe. For contemporary examples of suffering alleviation and life extension through the grace of Supreme God Kabir, refer to the section titled "True Path to the Misled" in this book by Satguru Rampal ji.
