LIFE IN BHULOKA

Implementing the advice to the letter, they led an exemplary life, following the four-fold asrams, as enjoyed by the scriptures. 

Realizing that Brahmalokaprapti can be attained through penance, the Vysya munis cleared the thick forests and made convenient hermitages for doing devotional activities. They won the appreciation and camaraderie of great Rishis, like Kasyapa etc. who had settled down there earlier. In order to attain emancipation, they performed penance fed on air and light - vayu and tejas for long. Highly gratified with their austerities. 

Lord Maheswar descended in His Ardhanareeswara form and asked to name their desires. Humble to the core and divine in spirit, they asked only for Sivasannidhya that confers mental solace and blissful existence. 

Elated at their divine simplicity, the Lord took them with Him to Kailas forthwith and arranged for the fulfillment of their ennobling aspiration. They continued to live there devoting life and time to Saivaaradhana.
