By: Promil Sequeira yogaschoolonline@gmail.com BHAMATI ? SELFLESSNESS AND DEDICATIONVachaspati Mishra was born in the Mithila Region in Bihar in the 10th Century. There are considerable disputes about his place and date of birth. Vachaspati wrote many important books, including commentaries on the Brahma Sutra, called Bhamati, as also a commentary on the Yoga Sutra. There is an interesting story of his marriage, his amnesia towards his marriage, his final recollection, sorrow and so forth. His guru affectionately gave the hand of his daughter Bhamati, in marriage to Vachaspati. The scholar absent mindedly had said "yes" to the proposal, but it remained at the back of his mind only. The day of the marriage, he found that the chants of the pujaris's was deficient in language, intonation, syntax and so forth and there and then he decided to read, edit and write on the various philosophical systems in India. When he finished writing the last line on the Shankar's work on Brahma-sutra, he wanted to rest and suddenly a beautiful hand started pouring ghee in the faltering dhiya/oil lamp. "Who are you please?" questioned Vachaspati. "Don't you remember, you married me 12 years ago, but since you were so deeply involved in your writing, that I remained in the background"? Vachaspati was desolate hearing this and he said to his dear wife, "I will dedicate my best work on the Brahma sutra, and put your name on it and call it Bhamati". Such was the high quality of married couple in those times, which could enthuse contemporizes, in the areas of selflessness and dedication. Promil J. Sequeira
