Flower From Heaven

I adopt the vow of Brahmacharya (study and meditation in celibacy). If I die sonless, I shall yet attain to regions of perennial bliss in heaven!'

"Vaisampayana continued, 'Upon these words of the son of Ganga, the hair on the fisherman's body stood on end from glee, and he replied, 'I bestow my daughter!' Immediately after, the Apsaras and the gods with diverse tribes of Rishis began to rain down flowers from the firmament upon the head of Devavrata and exclaimed, 'This one is Bhishma (the terrible).' Bhishma then, to serve his father, addressed the illustrious damsel and said, 'O mother, ascend this chariot, and let us go unto our house.'

Sahadeva responded to the offensive words of Shishupala, "If there be any king amongst you who cannot bear to see Keshava, the killer of the Keshi demon, as the first person worshiped, I will place my foot on his head." When Sahadeva lifted his foot, no king challenged him. Suddenly, a shower of flowers fell on Sahadeva and an unembodied voice exclaimed, "Excellent! Excellent!"

Human Life

One person entered  in to a forest,
Wild animals  started chasing him,
He was scared and then a very  ugly ,
Whom no body will like  embraced him
He some how  escaped  and started  running
He fell in a  well  covered by plants and grass,
He caught hold of a  climber and felt safe,
Then he saw a huge snake  below  him,
He wanted   to escape   and   saw  upwards,
He  saw an elephant there  with  six faces,
And twelve  legs and then  he also  saw,
Some black and white rats cutting away,
The plant on which   he was  hanging
Suddenly    drops of honey from a bee hive,
Started   dripping  in to his  mouth  and he enjoyed it

Strange  story  and you may think   that person very silly. Let us read  the story  once more  with  real implications


One person entered  in to the forest called his life  ,
Sicknesses started chasing him,
He was scared and then his old  age  ,
Whom no body will like  embraced him
He some how  escaped  and started  running
He fell in to his  body   covered by illusion ,
He caught hold of  hope  and felt safe,
Then he saw  death    below  him,
He wanted   to escape   and   saw  upwards,
He  saw  the  passage of time with six seasons,
And twelve  months and then  he also  saw,
Some day and night  cutting away,
The hope  on which   he was  hanging
The honey   drops   falling   on him ,
Was from the other sex and it was passion,
And come what may he  enjoyed  it
