Shabari
Shabari ((サンスクリット:शबरी)) is an elderly woman ascetic in the later versions of the Hindu epic Ramayana. She is described as an ardently devoted woman who received Rama's darshan and blessing due to her Bhakti to him.
== Story ==
Shabari was a hunter's daughter and belong to the Nishadha tribal community. The night before her marriage, she saw that thousands of goats and sheep were brought by her father, which were going to be sacrificed for the marriage dinner. Moved by compassion, during the early hours of the morning, she renounced the world and ran away to meet a Master. After days of traveling, she met Sage Matanga at the foot of the Mountain Rishyamukha and accepted him as ''guru'', serving him with devotion.〔 When her guru Matanga was about to die, Shabari—now an old woman—says that after serving him throughout her life, she wanted to reach the same "abode of peace" which Matanga reached.〔 Thereupon, the sage said that by the virtue of her ''seva'' (service), Lord Ram shall give her ''darshan'' and asks her to wait for his arrival. Saying thus, the sage sitting in lotus posture attains ''Mahasamadhi''. As per her guru's words, Shabari waits for the arrival of Ram.〔
Everyday Shabari would go out of her ''ashram'', with the help of a walking stick and pluck berry fruits for Lord Ram. She would pluck a fruit, first taste it, and if it was sweet she would put it in her basket and discard the bitter ones. She wanted to give the good and sweet fruits to Ram.〔 The thought never came to her that she should not taste it before it was offered to a deity. Traditional writers use this narrative to indicate that in ''bhakti'', faults are not seen by God. Thus collecting a few fruits, Shabari went back to her ''ashram'' and eagerly anticipate Ram's arrival. Shabari is commonly used as a metaphor for an endless wait for God.
