Maha Rishi Vyasa
Veda Vyasa
'Vyasaya Vishnu Roopaya, Vyasa Roopaya Vishnave |
Namove Bhrama Nithaye, Vasishtaya Namo Namaha:'
The meaning of this sloka is 'Salutation to Vyasa who is in the form of Vishnu and Vishnu who is in the form of Vyasa and one who is the treasure house of the Vedas. Salutation to one who was born in the noble family of Vasishta'. The honour of being equal to Vishnu belonged to Maharishi Vyasa.
Once Parasarar, grandson of Vasishta, had to cross a river. Since the boatman was having his lunch, his foster daughter rowed the boat. Parasarar was enamoured by her beauty and desired her. A son was born to them born to them and since he was dark, he was named Krishna. And as he was born in an island (dweepam), he was also called Thvaibayanar. But, later on, he divided the Vedas, sequenced them into an order and so he became known as Veda Vyasa
Vyasa learnt the Vedas thoroughly and established an ashrama where he taught them to his disciples. Once he happened to see a family of Sparrows wherein the mother sparrow was cuddling her younger ones. Vyasar began to pine for family life and he entered into deep contemplation.
Naaradha, who came there at that time, advised him to pray to God Parasakthi for progeny. Vyasa did so by doing penance. Kruthasi, an apsaras, appeared in the form of a parrot and tried to distract him. Vyasa, who saw the beautiful parrot, realised that it was really an apsaras, and fell in love with her. A child was created out of his intense passion and not born out of a womb. The child was Sughar (suka: means parrot in Sanskrit.)
Apart from Sughar, who became Vyasa's disciple, the ashrama had other famous disciples like Vaisambayanar, Soodhar and Jymini. Vyasa's ashram attained popularity and many more joined to learn under him. Sughar married and after sometime left his wife and father in the ashram to do penance on Mount Kailash.
At the end of the penance, he obtained Bhrama gnana and attained mukti. Meanwhile, his disciples, having finished their education, left the ashram. Vyasa felt lonely and longed for his son. He left the ashram and searched for Sughar everywhere. Lord Shiva finally appeared and consoled Vyasa.
A mollified Vyasa returned to his ashram
