Why India / Bharata is greatest and most sacred place | Why God / Bhagavan takes birth only in India / Bharata | Does earth has sacred and non sacred places?

First we should know that anything and everything is under the control of Bhagavan Sri Hari / Sri Krishna / Sri Raama.





Sri Hari is the supreme, he knows everything and anything. We shouldn't be having any doubt about this. Only in Bharatiya Sanatana Dharma, there is someone who has accepted himself as Bhagavan / Ishvara / Parabrahma / God. In all other religions, no one has accepted that he / she is God or as "I am the God".





Sri Hari is present everywhere, it may be a particular sacred place or country, similarly, it may be a non sacred place or country. Sri Hari is present in every anu / atom and there is no doubt in this at all. This is been very well explained in Hindu Shaastras.





We should note that if Bhagavan is present in a particular thing, it doesn't mean that particular thing will be pure. If Bhagavan gives purity to that particular thing, then only that particular thing will get purified.





Just like, when gold is found in mines, the color of that gold would be black in color. But after lots of polishing and other processes, that gold turns into a pure gold, that is yellow metal.





This means, when the gold was black in color, that particular material was still a gold, but it was not a pure gold. Only after the polishing and other processes, that particular material has become a pure gold.





The antaryaami (Bhagavan - means the Bhagavan who is inside of anything and everything) of Kali (read as Kali and not as Kaali) of this Kaliyuga is also Bhagavan, but Kali would never become an uttama jeeva (better person). This would never happen, as Kali is one of the most "kalankita" / worst jeeva of the universe. Can we respect this Kali? Can we give salutations to this Kali? No, right.





Just if we imagine, since Bhagavan (antaryaami) is present in anything and everything means, this doesn't mean that all the jada padartha (passive materials / raw materials), chetana padartha (things with life) are one and the same. This doesn't mean, that all has the same respect or quality. If everything have equal respect means, then why we show more bhakti to Ganga Devi than any other river on this earth. This is because, svayam Ganga Devi is having more anugraha of Sri Hari, than any other river on this earth. Ganga Devi take birth from the feet of the Sri Hari, later Ganga Devi will be placed in the kamandala of Sri Brahma Deva and again later same Ganga Devi would go and sit on the head of Sri Shiva (thus Sri Shiva is known as Sri Gangadhara). Thus anything and everything have it's own respect according to the yogyata (qualities) of that particular padartha (material).





Similarly in every paapa Karma (bad Karma) Sri Hari is involved and also in every punya Karma (good Karma) Sri Hari is involved. There is nothing where Sri Hari is not present. He is there in anything and everything.





If someone is doing some good & great work means, Sri Hari is involved. Similarly if someone is doing some bad & worst work means, Sri Hari is involved. Sri Hari knows, what should be given to whom. What good things needed to be given to whom and what bad things needed to be given to whom, Sri Hari knows everything.





Let us take one more example, in earlier days we used to have a round shaped stone which was used to make the paste of the spices / masala. This stone is also a stone itself and also the stone which we worship in Tirupati as Bhagavan is also a stone. There is no difference when we see it as a stone. But is it true? The stone which is present in our house is just a mere stone, whereas the stone which is present in Tirupati we worship it as Bhagavan. Because, the stone which is present in our house doesn't have that qualities of sacredness, whereas the stone which is present in Tirupati has all the greatest sannidhaana / qualities of svayam Bhagavan. The stone's sannidhaana of Tirupati is having unlimited and greatest amount of qualities. Both are stones itself, but we give greatest respect to the stone which is present in Tirupati as Bhagavan, whereas the stone which is present in our house is a mere stone. This means the stone which is present in our house is used to make the masala / paste of the spices, and whereas the stone which is present in Tirupati has the greatest respect as that stone is worshipped by all the Devatagans, starting from Sri Mahalakshmi Devi, Sri Brahma Deva, Sri Rudra etc etc etc all worship that stone.

Why this happens? This happens because the sannidhaana of svayam Sri Hari is present inside the Tirupati stone. Sri Hari is the antaryaami of that stone and thus the greatest respect is given to the Tirupati statue stone.





Again I am repeating, just because Sri Hari is present in bad and worst things means, that particular thing doesn't get purified. This is present only because Sri Hari is there inside it. But if anything is getting respect or been worshipped means, Sri Hari is showing anugraha on that particular thing or material or whatever it is.





We should always keep in mind that, if anything has to be get purified means, that particular thing or material should be liked by Sri Hari. Sri Hari should be happy for that particular thing or material.





The Karmas, materials, places, living beings etc which are liked by Sri Hari means, those Karmas, those materials, those places, those living beings etc will become uttama (good, better, best) according to Sri Hari's anugraha.





Similarly, the Karmas, materials, places, living beings etc which are not liked by Sri Hari means, those Karmas, those materials, those places, those living beings etc will definitely become adhama (bad, worst) according to Sri Hari's anugraha.





Sri Hari is the "kaarana karta" (cause) of anything and everything. Sri Hari knows anything and everything.





Now we may start to think, "if Sri Hari has created something means, how can that particular thing, place or living being become a paapistta padartha (sinful meterial)?"





Sri Hari has his own likings, that is Sri Hari wants somethings to be a paapistta padartha and thus Sri Hari has created the paapistta padarthas according to that padarta's earlier Karma.





Sri Hari wants us to be in this samsaara (materialistic engagements), and therefore we are in this samsaara. He wants us to get purified, he wants us to work hard (I am not talking about material works), he wants us to know about svayam Sri Hari and until we don't understand about himself (Sri Hari), we won't get mukti / moksha / freedom / liberation.





For this reason on this earth, Sri Hari had created Bharata Bhoomi / India for the saadhana (for achieving Godly things), for luxury / enjoyment Sri Hari has created Kimpurusha Bhoomi and for all the paapa karyaas (sinful acts), Sri Hari has created few of the other places / countries.





The place which is punya pradesha, there people should make the saadhana (to achieve Godly things). The places which are stoical, one should never go to such places. And similarly the places which has been banned according to our Sanatana Dharma, one should never ever go to such kind of places.





People who have done greatest deeds have been taken birth in this greatest Bharata Bhoomi. How can anyone can imagine of leaving this greatest place and go & stay in some other place? NEVER, EVER. We have to do our Karmas here to get the mukti / moksha / freedom / liberation.



Also materially talking only in Bharata Bhoomi all the jada padaartha (raw materials) are available:



There is no other country where all the raw materials are available in one single country. Anything which is available in other places are available in Bharata Bhoomi, but whereas all things which are available in Bharata Bhoomi are not available in other parts of the world.



Starting from jnaana / knowledge, water, sun shine, rain, vegetables, fruits, minerals, natural gas, iron, gold etc etc etc all are available in our greatest country. But there is no other country where all the jada padaartha / raw materials are available in one particular country.



Now let us understand the meaning of our greatest country name Bharata Bhoomi and also let us understand from where the word Bharata came from:



Bharata meaning: In our Shaastras 'भ' / Bha means 'भगवान' / Bhagavan and 'रथ' / rata means a chariot. This means the place where svayam भगवान / Bhagavan wishes to stay for ever and also he looks after anything and everything which is done on this bhoomi / place as a 'सा रथि' / charioteer.



Also in our Sanatana Dharma 'भ' / Bha means jnaana / knowledge. This means, Bharata Bhoomi is the place where only jnaanis / knowledgeable people take birth and these people get the jnaana / knowledge from svayam Bhagavan. Here Bhagavan himself acts as the ' रथि' / charioteer and give us the required jnaana / knowledge as per our qualification / capability. Since Bhagavan is the highest jnaani he is known as 'भगवान' / Bhagavan ( भगवान meaning someone who has the highest jnaana).



Similarly many of us know that Sri Surya Deva (Sun God) is also known as Bhaskara, as Sri Surya Deva is highly jnaani / knowledgeable.



Similarly other Devatagan / Demigods are also known as Bhagavan as they are also jnaani according to their qualification. (But we should remember that Sri Hari is the highest jnaani followed by Sri Mahalakshmi Devi, then it is Sri Brahma Deva, then it is Sri Sarasvati Devi, then it is Sri Rudra Deva, then it is Sri Tulasi Devi, then it is Sri Parvati Devi, then it is Sri Indra Deva, then it is Sri Surya Deva and so on).



How we got the country name Bharata Bhoomi:



For this several people have given multiple explanations.



Few people tell that the country name Bharata Bhoomi came from one the ancestors of Arjuna, that is from Bharata Maharaja.



Few people tell that the country name Bharata Bhoomi we got from the Sri Rama's brother Bharata.



Also few people tell that we got the country name Bharata Bhoomi from son of Sri Rishabha Deva (Sri Rishabha Deva is one of the avatar of Sri Hari), that is son of Sri Rishabha Deva was called as Bharata and thus we got the country name Bharata Bhoomi.



As explained above, the meaning of Bharata is 'jnaana' / knowledge, means Bharata Bhoomi is the place where only jnaani people are born and also this is the place where svayam Sri Hari takes birth and also Sri Hari looks after the Bharata Bhoomi's people as a ' रथि' / 'rati' (Example - during the Great Mahabharata war, Sri Krishna sat as the saarati for the Arjuna, here Arjuna was a 'rati' and someone who drives the chariot is called as saarati. Here we should note that Sri Hari is called as antaryaami of everything and everybody. Sri Hari is present in everything and everybody. Similarly it is svayam Sri Krishna who is sitting inside Arjuna and making him to fight the Great Mahabharata war. Thus both saarati and rati both are Sri Krishna.



With this explanation we should come into conclusion that Bharata Bhoomi is the place where jnaanis take birth and also the place where Sri Krishna / Sri Hari stays permanently inside everything and everybody and helps us to grow (as both rati and saarati).



Also since great people like Bharata (ancestor of Arjuna), Sri Rama's brother Bharata and Sri Rishabha Deva's son Bharata were all great jnaanis / knowledgeable people they all were called as Bharata (read as Bharata and not as Bhaarata).





Let us stay in this greatest Bharata Bhoomi and make the saadhana and let us all the get the mukti / moksha / freedon / liberation.





Now, can you imagine that you don't want to stay in this greatest place called Bharata Bhoomi? Choice is yours.
