lessons

Some lessons:

Dhruva did not hate his step-mother for rejecting him and causing him to run away from the palace.
He did not hate his half-brother, who stood to gain the throne and the kingdom.
He went to war with the Yaksas (demigods) because one of their kind killed his brother, who went hunting in their hunting grounds.
Though he was the king, his heart's desire was not for material wealth but to keep the remembrance of Vishnu in his heart, mind, and soul all the time.
When he was taken to Vishnu's abode by invitation, he did not forget his mother and wanted to take her with him.

left for Visala forest near the modern Bhadrinath. Dhruva was aware of the ephemeral nature of the world. He took dips in Ganga, performed Pranayama and meditation and lost consciousness while in deep Samadhi. Dipping in Ganga is to wash off all the impurities of the five sheaths of his body. All his Indriyas (senses and sense organs) became pure. There came a dissociation between his sense organs and their objects.

This universe bears the form of the Lord and therefore he worshipped the universe as Vishnu. When he was in Samadhi, the memory of the universe, his body, ego, and the I-ness receded into oblivion and the Vishnu's form took its place.

Two attendants of Vishnu, Sunanda and Nanda, came in brightly lit aerial car. They eulogized him and his devotion to Vishnu from the tender age of five and invited him to board the car for the abode of Vishnu, which was not even attained by his forefathers.

He paid his obeisance and bid farewell to all the Gurus and Mahans. As he was preparing to board the car, Death came in time; tabors, kettledrums and the like played on their own accord; Gandharvas showering flowers sent him on his way to Vishnu's abode (Vaikunta).

Suddenly a thought came to his mind: his mother. What about her? Shouldn't he take her with him? Knowing his mind, the two deities showed him the second aerial car with his mother aboard. Gods showered flowers at every stage in his journey, shouting praises and applauding him. He went by one planet after another on his travel. He went past the three worlds (the earth, the intermediate zone, and the celestial sphere), and the realm of the seven Seers. He reached the abode of Vishnu way above all worlds. It shines on its own effulgence, which the three worlds reflect. Only they who perform service to others, are of calm, collected, tranquil and fair-minded disposition and regard other devotees of Vishnu as his brother can go to the eternal abode of Immortal Vishnu.

He thought about the impermanence of

his kingdom,
his wife,
his progeny,
his friends,
his army,
his wealth,
the gynaeceum,
the playgrounds,
the hunting grounds,
the sea-girt world.

Narayana

Dhruva washed his hands, sipped some water and sent a shower of arrows to the Yaksas from the bow designed by the divine Sage Narayana.
The Yaksas sent arrows back which came like angry hooded serpents attacking Garuda. Dhruva attacked the Yaksas, tore their limbs, body, and head and sent them to Satyaloka, the abode of Brahma

Kalpa

Vishnu Purana states the following. Four ages (4.32 Million Years = One Maha Yuga = four Yugas, BG08 ) are the lifetime of some celestial beings; some live for the duration of the of a Manu (308,571,429 years); you (Dhruva) will live for the duration of a Kalpa (4.32 billion years).

Station

Vishnu Purana states the following. Your station is above

the moon, the sun, the Mars, Mercury (the son of Soma), Venus, Saturn (son of Surya),
all other constellations and the Mandala (domain) of the seven Rishis and
other aerial-car traveling celestials.

Before Dhruva could claim the highest station (Sthana) in the universe, Lord gave him the anugraha (benefits, favor) to rule this earth and enjoy its pleasures for 30,000 years.
