Indra Loses His Kingdom

posted by medouri

Indra is the king of the cosmic gods. One time, pride entered into him because, while he was supreme in Heaven, he began to neglect Prakriti, who is Mother-Earth. Prakriti was so enraged that she cursed Indra. She berkata to him, “You will lose everything anda have—your throne, your kingdom, everything. Even your Guru, Brihaspati, will curse you.”

When he was cursed oleh Prakriti, Indra was so sad and depressed. He was literally sunk in despair. Who should come to him then but his own Guru, Brihaspati, who is the Guru of all the cosmic gods. Because Indra was so depressed, he did not tampil any...

Parvati Longs To Marry Shiva

posted by medouri

One day, when Parvati was only eight years old, her father, Himavan, took her to see Lord Shiva. From birth, Parvati had always been very spiritual. She always wanted to know about God, so she was thrilled to see Lord Shiva. But Lord Shiva was in a meditative consciousness and he did not pay any attention to the little girl.

After that first encounter, Parvati used to come every hari to see Lord Shiva. She would offer him fresh flowers, hoping that one hari he would open his eyes and speak to her. In the back of her mind, she had formed the idea that this was the man she wanted to marry.
