Is the infant crying excessively?

Tell  me who  isn’t  fond of children? Everybody adores them. The child’s laughter, its  endearing babbling, the smartness displayed by a child, the  manner in which  a child creates a fuss and obtains the thing it needs in  its hands are all enchanting. Parents eagerly describe even the  child’s stubbornness to  visitors and  expect them  to listen  with amazement. Only  when this  obduracy increases  a little  will worry start showing  on  their  faces,  particularly when  the crankiness  goes overboard  the  intensity of  the  agony  the mother feels is known  only to  those who  have endured  it. It’s  all  beautiful as  long as  he  child  is playful. But  when the  child is unable to express its problem and cries loudly it brings grief for everyone!

This is  a frequent  problem  in homes with small children. It  is  good if there are elders around. Each of them pulls out a gem from their mine of  experience  that comes in  handy at  alleviating  the problem. If  the problem transcends their experience then Doctor mama is always there.  But  if  this problem crops up at  late night or it is impossible to visit Doctor mama immediately, it is bound to give rise to apprehension. Having lost patience the helpless husband and wife begin a volley of accusations.

Stop squabbling, look here for 5 minutes.

  • If you are parents of a newborn baby
  • If your child is still incapable of telling you about their problems in detail
  • If the help of elders is unavailable nearby
  • If you feel that the medication you are giving your child is not effective
  • If your child is a victim of evil eye and continues to cry despite taking several remedial measures
  • If you are unable to comprehend what is happening to your child
  • If your child is spooked by a nightmare

don’t get unnerved.  These  troubles  are  commonplace  in  the world. The  solution to  this  has  been  prescribed by the incarnate Lord Vedavyasa  himself. Follow  the  means  advocated by  him after cleansing the  mind & body, keeping  faith. Certainly Lord will extend a helping  hand  towards your child. He will shower a spring of comfort that your child needs in some way. The child will contentedly slip into sleep in a moment, in the morning as usual will come and wake you up wearing a spotless smile!

The  seventh chapter of  Bhagavata  elucidates  the  divine  pastimes of  Shri Krishna. Kamsa who  knew that death would  befall  him  through  the offspring of Devaki and Vasudev had  all  their  infants killed is  something  we are  all  aware of.  God himself descended  upon earth as the eighth infant. Everyone also knows that Putani set out to  kill  Shri  Krishna  and  ended  up  being  killed  herself.   The Gopas  and  Gopis of Vajrakula who witnessed this miraculous feat  by the infant Krishna were astounded. They  realized  this  was  no  ordinary  infant,  he  was exceptional.  However  out  of  natural human nature  hope nothing  happens  to the young  boy and  pray that  the various organs of Balagopala be protected by the corresponding forms of God.

A  question may arise  as to  what was  the need for the Gopis to chant a divine hymn when Lord  Vishnu  who  is capable of  instilling  fear as well as destroying it himself had  incarnated as Krishna. The  consolation  is thus. There is  nothing  that  God has to do with this divine hymn. It  is  his devotees that  sing  his  praises for  the welfare  of  the  world.  Factually  Krishna  undertook  this  endeavor  to  free  the celestial nymph Urvashi  who  was  trapped  inside Putani of a curse.  Moreover  when  he  has incarnated  as  a  human  isn’t  he supposed  to demonstrate  human  behavior?  Thus he  pretended  as a normal infant. Besides they were devoid  of complete knowledge of God so they were of the opinion that although the infant was special he was still human. Thus the ignorant people of Vraja prayed “May God protect this child.”

Overall  the  phenomenal  love  that  the Gopis  had  for the child made them chant the divine hymn. It is this very divine hymn that will rescue our  and your  children from fear, evil eye, nightmares  and pain  in the  body’s limbs. This is  the divine  medicine  extracted and given to us by Lord Vedavyasa.

At the end of this article I have given the Mantra in the various languages I know. Print this and keep it. Everyday wash your hands and feet, wear clean clothes, sit  in front  of Rayaru, remember his antargata  Bharatiramanaantargata Shri Vishnu and  chat  this  mantra  at least  once. While chanting  keep the child  close-by.  This will definitely keep the problems that a child is likely to encounter at bay.

At midnight when the husband and wife duo are at home and the child begins to cry out of immense travail, do not worry. Sit in front of Rayaru and  chant  this Mantra  3 – 4  times.  Later  call  Doctor mama. This  Mantra  will  also wake  up  the  Doctor  mama  from his deep slumber and bring him towards your home.

My  Guru  Shri Padubidri Harinatha  has recited this Mantra  with clear pronunciation.  The audio link is made available for download at the end of the article. It would be helpful for you.

Remember the price you have to pay God is only faith. That in itself is the divine protection for your child too.
