I pay my Respects to our Ancestors
and Original Human Couple - SWAYAMBHOO MANU and SATHA ROOPA DEVI
Their three daughters - DEVIS AKOOTHI , PRASOOTHI and DEVAHOOTHI. Devi Akoothi is the Eldest of three daughters , an Ideal daughter to Ideal Parents , a role model to Her two Younger Sisters Prasoothi and Devahoothi. AKOOTHI was brought up in such a way to be an Ideal Daughter , an Ideal Wife and a would be an Ideal mother.and overall an Ideal Woman. All the three Daughters reached marriageable age and as is the custom Swayambhoo and SathaRoopa wanted to get Their Eldest Daughter DEVI AKOOTHI to be married first and they approached Their Father Pithaamaha Lord Brahma for a suitable alliance for Their Daughter AKOOTHI. LORD BRAHMA IS READY and He offered His Maanasa Puthra MAHAAMUNI RICHIKA . Richika is a very humble unassuming simple Gentleman spending His time in ADHYANAM, that is learning Vedas , performing Yajnam , Nithya Agni Hothram etc. Neither Lord Brahma nor Swayambhoo Manu- SathaRoopa Deviconsulted either Richika or Akoothi. There was no PeLLi Choopulu or any prior discussions. Both Devi Akoothi and Richika obeyed their respective parents and were Married according to Vedic Rites with Lord Brahma Himself Presiding over The SapthaPadi and other Rituals . Richika Maha Muni and Devi Akoothi were given a warm send off by Brahma, Swayambhoo and SathaRoopa; Devi Aakoothi and Richika MahaaMuni departed to Their ParNasaala ,Hermitage and settled down to a peaceful way of life in the Aashram performing Yajnams , Nithya agnihothram and led an Ideal Gruhastha Aashrama Dharma. Richika MahaMuni now became a Prajaapathi and in course of time Devi Akoothi is blessed with Mahaa Vishnu Amsa son Sree Yajna and Lakshmi Amsa Daughter SuDakshina . Time passed on and their progeny multiplied and they were Blessed with 13 Celestials , 27 Gandharvas , 25 Apsaras , and Eight Vasus. Descendents of Celestials are Modern Day Mahathmas , Swamijis, Yogis, Saints , Mattha Adhipathi and other Noble Souls. Descendents of Gandhravas are Modern Day Musicians - Thyagaraja, Shyama Sasthry, Muthu Swami Deekshithar, Purandara Das , etc. Descendents of Apsaras are Modern Day Hollywood, Bollywood, Tollywood , Mollywood Stars. Descendents of Vasus are Modern Day Professionals, Scientists, Engineers , Doctors . Professors etc. I end this chapter by bowing my head at the feet of MAHAAMUNI RICHIKA PRAJAPATHI AND DEVI AKOOTHI AMMA. |
