Shabari

We all know the story 
Shabari : was a daughter of a tribe called Nishada. During her wedding thousands of goats sheep were to be slaughtered. 

She could not endure it. Ran away.  She found Matanga rishi at the foot of rishimukha mountain near the unusual Pampa river.  She served him.  Before samadhi he told her Rama will save her

She would daily set aside “bore” or berries, half eaten for him. In her old age, Rama visited her at the bore and saved her

There us another version where shabri takes a bath in Pampa lake, accused of polluting it. Rama tries to purify it by rinsing mouth but water becomes bloody. Finally Rama washes shabri feet and purifies the lake 

This is a beautiful story of life journey.  It is extremely yogic and describes a higher level of meditation
