AHALYA'S LIBERATION BY SRI RAMA
Gazing at beautiful Ahalya from above, Indra was filled
with lust;
Possessing her immediately became for
him a must.
Taking
advantage of her husband- Sage Gautam Muni- having gone for a bath,
He magically took on the husband’s appearance
and came down her path.
Poor unsuspecting Ahalya, though
perplexed at husband’s desire at an unusual hour,
Nevertheless surrendered in his arms
like a true wife and husband lover.
Then the real sage returned and
realizing the deceit, was furious at both;
Though asked for forgiveness, Muni
cursed them, as to forgive them he was loath.
Thus it transpired that the beautiful
Ahalya got turned to stone;
But was assured by Gautam that for her
sin she would atone
When her stone figure would have the Divine
Bliss
Of the Lord Raghu Ram’s feet’s kiss.
When Ahalya’s original human form was
restored
By Patita Pavana’s touch, as foretold,
She thanked her husband for his curse
which she considered now a Blessing,
That she got to see the Lord God
himself, what a benediction!!.
