The brilliance of your children... -Sahana Harekrishna

The brilliance of your children starts sprouting from the day you stop comparing them with each other.

Translation in Hindi:
आपके बच्चों का तेजस उस दिन से बढ़ना शुरू होता है जिस दिन से आप उनके भीतर अंतर करना छोड़ देते हैं |

Translation in Kannada:
ಎಂದಿನಿಂದ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಕ್ಕಳ ನಡುವೆ ಹೋಲಿಕೆಯನ್ನು
ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸುತ್ತೀರೋ
ಅಂದಿನಿಂದ ಅವರ ಏಳಿಗೆ ಆರಂಭವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ ।

-Sahana Harekrishna

Faith of the Sparrow -Folklore

The battlefield of Kurukshetra was being prepared to facilitate the movement of mammoth armies with large cavalries. They used elephants to uproot trees & clear the ground. On one such tree lived a sparrow, a mother of four young ones. As the tree was being knocked down, her nest landed on the ground alongwith her offsprings, too young to fly, miraculously unharmed.

The vulnerable & frightened sparrow looked around for help. Just then she saw Krishna scanning the field with Arjuna. They were there to physically examine the battleground & devise a winning strategy before the onset of the war.

She flapped her tiny wings with all her might to reach Krishna's chariot.

"Please save my children,O Krishna," the sparrow pleaded. "They will be crushed tomorrow when this battle starts.

"I hear you," said He, the omnicient one, but I can't interfere with the law of nature."

"All I know is that you are my saviour,O Lord.I rest my children's fate in your hands. You can kill them or you can save them, it's upto you now"

"The wheel of Time moves indiscriminately" Krishna spoke like an ordinary man implying that there wasn't anything he could do about it.

"I don't know your philosophy," the sparrow said with faith & reverence. "You are the wheel of time. That's all I know. I surrender to thee."

"Stock food for three weeks in your nest then."

Unaware of the on going coversation, Arjuna was trying to shoo away the sparrow when Krishna smiled at the bird. She fluttered her wings a few minutes in obeisance & flew back to her nest.

Two days later, just before the boom of conchs announced the commencement of the battle, Krishna asked Arjuna for his bow & arrow. Arjuna was startled because Krishna vowed to not lift any weapon in the war. Besides, Arjuna believed that he was the best archer out there.

"Order me, Lord," he said with conviction, nothing impenetrable for my arrows."

Quietly taking the bow from Arjuna, Krishna took aim at an elephant. But, instead of bringing the animal down, the arrow hit the bell around its neck & sparks flew.

Arjuna couldn't contain his chuckle seeing that Krishna missed an easy mark.

"Should I?" He offered.

Again ignoring his reaction, Krishna gave him back the bow & said that no further action was necessary.

"But why did you shoot the elephant Keshav? Arjun asked.

"Because this elephant had knocked down the tree sheltering that sparrow's nest."

"Which sparrow?" Arjun exclaimed. "Plus, the elephant is unhurt & alive. Only the bell is gone!"

Dismissing Arjuna's questions, Krishna instructed him to blow his conch.

The war began, numerous lives were lost over the next eighteen days. The Pandavas won in the end. Once again, Krishna took Arjuna with him to navigate through the ruddy field. Many corpses still lay there awaiting their funeral. The battleground was littered with severed limbs and heads, lifeless steeds and elephants.

Krishna stopped at a certain spot and looked down thoughtfully at an elephant-bell.

"Arjuna," he said, "will you lift this bell for me & put it aside?"

The instruction, though simple, made little sense to Arjuna. After all, in the vast field where plenty of other things needed clearing, why would Krishna ask him to move an insignificant piece of metal out of the way? He looked at him questioningly?

"Yes! This bell!" Krishna reiterated. "It's the same bell that had come off the elephant's neck I had shot at."

Arjuna bent down to lift the heavy bell without another question. As soon as he lifted it though, his world changed forever.

One, two, three, four & five. Four young birds flew out one after another followed by a sparrow. The mother bird swirled in circle around Krishna, circumambulating him in great joy. The one bell cleaved eighteen days ago had protected the entire family.

The Soul-Dragger -देवसुत

for all ye there

unkind

in what ye do

in what ye eat

in what ye say

there is a fiery rope

to drag thy soul

on the road to hell

scream or moan

with a fish hook

through thy neck

and nose

thee shall bear

the pain of all ye killed

or culled

for taste, tradition, fun, gain,

medicine, just or,

sham ignorance.

thy pleas

or bending knees

shall not be heard

or seen

for there are no ears

or eyes

of the

soul-dragger.

so shall be the fate

of all ye

unkind.

ஊக்கமும் பயனும் -subba

தாமஸ் ஆல்வா எடிசன் ஒருநாள் பள்ளியில் இருந்து ஒரு கடிதம் எடுத்து வந்தார்.
அம்மாவிடம் தந்தார்.
அதை படிக்க சொனார்.
அவர் அம்மா அதில் மகனே உனக்கு படம் நடத்தும் அளவிற்கு பள்ளியில் வாத்தியார் இல்லை என்று இருக்கிறது என்று சொன்னார்
சில வருடம் கழித்து எடிசன் மாபெரும் விஞ்ஞானி ஆனார்.
அப்போது அந்த பழைய கடிதத்தை படித்தார்.
அதில் அவர் பள்ளியில் இருந்து கொண்டு வந்த கடிதம் இருந்தது
அதில் உண்மையில் எழுதி இருந்தது இது" இவன் படிக்க தகுதி இல்லாதவன்" அவன் பள்ளிக்கு வர வேண்டாம்.

உண்மை அறிந்த எடிசன் கண்ணீர் வடித்தார்.தாயின் அருமை எண்ணி வியந்தார்.
தனி தஹி ஊக்க படுத்தியது நினது நன்றி கூறினார்.

ஒரு எதிர்மறையான கருத்தை கூட ஒரு தாய் நினைத்தால் ஊக்கத்தின் மூலம் மகனை மாற்றலாம் என்பதற்கு இது ஒரு உதாரணம்

வலியும் பரிணாம வளர்ச்சியும் -subba

உங்களுக்கு தெரியுமா?

பூச்சிகளுக்கு வலி தெரிவதில்லை.பூச்சிகளின் வாழும் காலம் குறைவு.
வலியானது குணமடைய நேரம் தேவை
இதற்கு நிறைய உடல் சக்தி தேவை
இதற்கு சக்தி செலவு செய்யும் நேரத்தில் உணவு தேடலாம்.
ஆகையால் பரிணாம வளர்ச்சியில் அவைகளுக்கு இயற்க்கை வலி உணர்வை கொடுக்க வில்லை

ஆனால் மனிதனின் ஆயுள் காலம் ஜாஸ்தி
மனிதன் சக்தியும் பூச்சிகளை விட அதிகம்
மனிதர்களுக்கு வலி உணர்வு ஒரு எச்சரிக்கை மற்றும் அபாய அறிவிப்பு சாதனம்
மனிதனுக்கு வலி யில் இருந்து வெளி வருவதற்கும் போதிய நேரம் உண்டு
ஆகவே இயற்க்கை மனிதனுக்கு வலி உணர்தல் அளித்துள்ளது

The Mango, the Lion and the Monkeys -Ira

There was once a monkey in the forest. He ate banana and mango. He had a friend monkey who also ate banana and mango.

There was a lion too, who came to meet the monkeys and saw them eating bananas and mangoes.

The lion said to the monkeys that he also wants to eat bananas and mangoes. But the monkeys laughed on him. Seeing this, the lion took some bananas and mangoes and ran away to his cave to eat them. The lion was very happy eating the delicious bananas and mangoes and said I will always eat bananas and mangoes.

The monkeys thought, what a foolish lion he is. But slowly, all animals looked at the lion and were very happy that he was not killing anyone anymore. Other animals also started following the lion and stopped killing other animals. And all animals lived in the forest without fearing each other anymore.

There was happiness all around.
