Just before going to “Why India is greatest (best) (most sacred) country in world | Why God takes avatar (birth) only in India | Does earth has sacred and non-sacred places?“, let us have some brief information.
First we should know that anything and everything is under the control of Bhagavan Lord Sri Hari / Lord Sri Vishnu / Lord Sri Krishna / Lord Sri Rama.
Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is the supreme, he knows everything and anything. We shouldn’t be having any doubt about this.
Only in Bharatiya Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism), there is someone who has accepted himself as Bhagavan / Ishvara / Parabrahma / God, that is, Lord Sri Krishna (Vishnu).
In all other religions, no one has accepted that he / she is God or as “I am the God”.
Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is present everywhere, it may be a particular sacred place or country, similarly, it may be a non sacred place or country.
Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is present in every anu (atom) and also he is present in Himalayan mountains and there is no doubt in this at all. This is been very well explained in Hindu Shastras (Texts).
We should note that if Bhagavan (God) is present in a particular thing, it doesn’t mean that particular thing will be pure.
If Bhagavan (God) 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, turns into 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 antaryami of Kali (read as Kali and not as Kaali) of this Kali Yuga is also Bhagavan (God), but Kali would never become an uttama jeeva (better person).
[Here, antaryami means Bhagavan (God), that is, the Bhagavan (God) who is inside of anything and everything.]
This would never happen, as Kali is one of the most “kalankita” / worst being of the universe. Can we respect this Kali? Can we give salutations to this Kali? No, right.
Just if we imagine, since Bhagavan (God) (antaryami) 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 (devotion) to Ganga Devi than any other river on this earth.
This is because, svayam Ganga Devi is having more anugraha (blessings) of Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu), than any other river on this earth.
Ganga Devi take birth from the foot of the Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu), later Ganga Devi will be placed in the kamandala (a type of pot) of Lord Sri Brahma Deva.
And again later same Ganga Devi would go and sit on the head of Lord Shiva (thus Lord Shiva is known as Lord 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) Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is involved and also in every punya Karma (good Karma) also Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is involved.
There is nothing where Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is not present. He is there in anything and everything.
If someone is doing some good & great work means, Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is involved.
Similarly if someone is doing some bad & worst work means, Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is involved.
Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) knows, what and how much should be given to whom, when and where.
What good things (auspicious) needed to be given to whom and what bad things (inauspicious) needed to be given to whom, Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) knows everything.
Let us take one more example, in earlier days we used to have a round shaped stone (grinding 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 (God) Lord Sri Balaji (Srinivasa) (Venkateswara) 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 (God), that is, as Lord Sri Balaji (Srinivasa) (Venkatewara).
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 sannidhana (divine presence) / qualities of svayam Bhagavan (God).
The stone’s sannidhana 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 (God), 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 Devatas, that is,
starting from Goddess Sri Lakshmi Devi, Lord Sri Brahma Deva, Lord Sri Rudra, Goddess Sri Parvati, Lord Sri Indra Deva, etc. etc. etc. all worship that stone.
Why this happens? This happens because the sannidhana (divine presence) of svayam Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is present inside the Tirupati stone.
Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is the antaryami of that stone and thus the greatest respect is given to the Tirupati statue stone.
Again I am repeating, just because Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is present in bad and worst things means, that particular thing doesn’t get purified.
This is present only because Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is there inside it.
But if anything is getting respect or been worshipped means, Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is showing anugraha (blessings) on that particular material thing or spiritual 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 Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu).
Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) should be happy for that particular devotee or material thing or spiritual material.
The Karmas, materials, places, living beings, etc. which are liked by Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) means,
those Karmas, those materials, those places, those living beings, etc. will become uttama (good, better, best) according to Lord Sri Hari’s (Vishnu) anugraha (blessings).
Similarly, the Karmas, materials, places, living beings, etc. which are not liked by Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) means,
those Karmas, those materials, those places, those living beings, etc. will definitely become adhama (bad, worst) according to Lord Sri Hari’s (Vishnu) anugraha (blessings).
Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is the “kaarana karta” (main cause) of anything and everything.
Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) knows anything and everything of this Multiverse (Unlimited Universes) as he present everywhere.
Now we may start to think, “if Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) has created something means, how can that particular thing, place or living being become a paapistta padartha (sinful material)?“
Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) has his own likings, that is, Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) wants somethings to be a paapistta padartha (sinful materials).
And thus Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) has created the paapistta padarthas (sinful materials) according to that padarta’s (material) earlier Karmas.
Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) wants us to be in this samsara (sansar) (materialistic engagements), and therefore we are in this samsara (sansar).
[Note : Samsara (Sansar) is different and Parivar is different. Samsara (Sansar) means from birth to death. Parivar means whole family.]
Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) 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 Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) and until we don’t understand about himself (Lord Sri Hari ‘ Vishnu), we won’t get mukti / moksha / freedom / liberation.
For this reason on this earth, Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) had created Bharata (Bharat) Bhoomi (India) for the sadhana (for achieving Godly things).
For luxury / enjoyment Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) has created Kimpurusha Bhoomi and for all the paapa karyaas (sinful acts),
Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) has created few of the other places / countries like mleccha deshas.
The place which is punya pradesha (divine / holy place), there people should make the sadhana (to achieve Godly / spiritual things).
The places which are stoical (Kimpurusha Deshas), one should never go to such places.
And similarly the places which has been completely banned (Mlechha Deshas) 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 Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi (India).
How can anyone can imagine of leaving this greatest place India and go & stay in some other place?
NEVER, EVER.
We have to do our Karmas here to get the mukti / moksha / freedom / liberation (A permanent place in Vaikuntha – Lord Sri Vishnu eternal abode).
Also materially talking only in Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi (India) all the jada padartha (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 Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi (India).
But, whereas all things which are available in Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi are not available in other parts of the world.
Starting from jnana / gyan / knowledge, water, sun shine, rain, vegetables, fruits, minerals, natural gas, iron, gold, etc. etc. etc. all are available in our greatest country India.
But there is no other country where all the jada padartha (raw materials) are available in one particular country.
Now let us understand the meaning of our greatest country name Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi and also let us understand from where the word Bharat (Bharata) came from:
Bharata (Bharat) meaning : In our Hindu Shastras (Texts) ‘भ’ / Bha means ‘भगवान’ / Bhagavan (God) and ‘रथ’ / rata means a chariot.
This means the place where svayam भगवान / Bhagavan (God) wishes to stay for ever and also he looks after anything and everything which is done on this bhoomi / place as a ‘सारथि’ / charioteer.
Also in our Sanatana Dharma ‘भ’ / Bha means jnana / gyan / knowledge.
This means, Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi is the place where only jnanis / gyanis / knowledgeable people take birth
and these people get the jnana / gyan / knowledge from svayam Bhagavan (God) Lord Sri Vishnu.
Here Bhagavan (God) himself acts as the ‘रथि’ / charioteer and give us the required jnana / gyan / knowledge as per our qualification / capability.
Since Bhagavan (God) Lord Sri Vishnu is the highest jnani (gyani) (knowledgeable) he is known as ‘भगवान’ / Bhagavan (God).
[Here, भगवान (Bhagavan) meaning is, someone who has the highest jnana / gyan / knowledge).
Similarly many of us know that Lord Sri Surya Deva (The Sun God) is also known as Bhaskara, as Lord Sri Surya Deva is highly jnani / gyani / knowledgeable.
Similarly other Devatas (Demigods) are also known as Bhagavan (God) as they are also jnanis / gyanis / knowledgeable according to their qualification.
[But we should remember that, Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is the highest jnani / gyani / knowledgeable followed by –
Goddess Sri Lakshmi Devi, then it is Lord Sri Brahma Deva, then it is Goddess Sri Sarasvati Devi, then it is Lord Sri Rudra Deva,
then it is Goddess Sri Tulasi Devi, then it is Goddess Sri Parvati Devi, then it is Lord Sri Indra Deva, then it is Lord Sri Surya Deva and so on.]
How we got the country name Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi:
For this several people have given multiple explanations.
Few people tell that the country name Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi came from one the ancestors of Arjuna, that is, from Bharat (Bharata) Maharaja.
Few people tell that the country name Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi we got from the Lord Sri Rama’s brother Bharat (Bharata).
Also few people tell that we got the country name Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi from son of Lord Sri Rishabha Deva, that is,
son of Lord Sri Rishabha Deva was called as Bharat (Bharata) and thus we got the country name Bharat Bhoomi.
[Note : Lord Sri Rishabha Deva is one of the avatar of Lord Sri Hari (Lord Sri Vishnu).]
As explained above, the meaning of Bharat (Bharata) is ‘jnana’ / gyan / knowledge.
This means, Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi is the place where only jnani / gyani / knowledgeable people are born.
And also this is the place where svayam Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) takes avatar and also Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) looks after the Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi’s people as a ‘रथि’ / ‘rathi’.
[Example – during the Great Mahabharata war, Lord Sri Krishna sat as the sarathi (charioteer) for the Arjuna,
here Arjuna was a ‘rathi’ and someone who drives the chariot is called as sarathi.]
Here we should note that Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is called as antaryami (present inside) of everything and in everybody. Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) is present in everything and everybody.
Similarly, it is svayam Lord Sri Krishna who is sitting inside Arjuna and making him to fight the Great Mahabharata war.
Thus, both sarathi (charioteer) and rathi both are Lord Sri Krishna. But it doesn’t mean Arjuna is same as Bhagavan Lord Sri Krishna.
Arjuna is a different entity, Bhagavan Lord Sri Krishna (Vishnu) is different personality.
In this unlimited universes, no two living or nonliving things are equal. But all have their own uniqueness and qualities (Duality is always present).
With this explanation we should come into conclusion that Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi is the place where jnanis / gyanis / knowledgeable people take birth.
And also the place where Lord Sri Krishna / Lord Sri Hari (Vishnu) stays permanently inside everything and everybody and helps us to grow (as both rathi and sarathi).
Also since great people like Bharat (Bharata) (ancestor of Arjuna), Lord Sri Rama’s brother Bharat (Bharata),
and Lord Sri Rishabha Deva’s son Bharat (Bharata) were all great jnanis / gyanis / knowledgeable people,
and they all were called as Bharat (Bharata) (read as Bharat / भरत and not as Bhaarata / भारत).
Let us stay in this greatest Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi (India) and make the sadhana (divine achievement) and let us all the get the mukti / moksha / freedom / liberation.
Now, can you imagine that if you don’t want to stay in this greatest place called Bharat (Bharata) Bhoomi (India)? Choice is yours.
