“You have come to me seeking the greatest, I’ll give you shelter” Sage was firm in his decision. “But other rishis in the forest are not happy about you taking me as your disciple” says Shabari Sage Matanga told Shabari “Oh my daughter, stay in my Ashram, clean the place, take care of the chores, serve, it will do good to you.” Sage Matanga welcome her and took her as his disciples, other rishis and yogis condemned him for taking an outcaste as the disciple, they criticized him, called him fallen, impure. She went to many teachers and asked them to take her as their disciple and teach her ‘true wisdom’ (Brahma Jnana), all the teachers rejected her because she was of a low caste and wasn’t worthy to learn Brahma Jnana. She couldn’t bear to see those animals being killed, so she ran away into the forest in the early morning to avoid the killing of those animals. Before the day of her wedding she saw 1000s of goats and sheep that her father had brought to sacrifice, as it was a custom among the hunters of that time.
She wasn’t a good looking woman, but her heart was pure gold.
There was an young woman named Shabari who was a daughter of a hunter.
