VII Poem : Anger hampers success !!

Kopamunanu Ghanata Konchamai Povunu

Kopamunanu Migula Godagalugu

Kopamadachaneni Korikelu Neederu

Viswadha abirama Vinura Vema

Telugu Version :

కోపమున్నను ఘనత కొంచమై పోవును ,

కోపమున్నను మిగుల గోడగలుగు ,

కోపమడచెనేనిఁ కోరికలు నీడేరు ,

విశ్వదాభిరామ వినురవేమా 

Meaning : A Person with impulsive  and highly aggressive nature, would not be appreciated and respected. Despite his intellect and knowledge, one needs to pay the brunt of his anger because his anger pushes him to trouble. Where as a person who can control the anger can achieve success.

Brughu Maharshi :   Once Brughu Maharshi had decided to visit all three Gods Brahma,Vishnu and Maheswara as he wanted to test the Trimurthis.(Brahma ,Vishnu and Maheswara are called Trimurthis)First he entered Satyaloka where Virinch(Brahma) was so engrossed in the Veena recital of Sarawati Devi that he didn't pay heed to the presence of Brughu Maharshi which irritated Brughu and infuriated Maharshi had cursed Brahma saying" Since you didn't respect me you will never be worshipped by any human beings"!(That's the reason there is no temple for Brahma for worshipping)He entered Kailasa with the same anger and became more angry when his presence was n't acknowledged by Lord Shiva as Shiva and Parvati were enthralled in a Shringara Tandava(the dance of the couple)Brugha Scornfully cursed Shiva " You will not be worshipped in your original form by any human being but will be worshipped in the form of linga".Having said this quickly moved to Vaikuntha where Vishnu murthy and Lakshmi Devi were absorbed in romantic mood which enraged Brugha all the more and which made him hit Vishnu on his chest with his legs.Lakshmi was very furious but Lord Vishnu quickly apologized the sage and very softly responded that "Pardon us revered Sage ,Your leg might have pained by hitting me ,let me soothingly press it to reduce your pain"! Having said this Lord Vishnu pressed his third eye which was at the lower part of Brugha's feet.The moment the eye was pressed all his anger,vanity and pride disappeared and he realized the mistake that he had committed by     hitting Vishnu.He pleaded for mercy.

This story tells us that despite one's knowledge and intellect one should be humble and respect everyone.Brugha became very proud of his knowledge and disrespected and cursed Trimurthis hence paid the brunt of his mistakes.
