Sopanam - November 2012 3

Diwali has come and passed by. Soon we enter the pious Mandala Masam, where lakhs and lakhs of us take penance in prayer and devotion to Lord Ayyappa. It truly a blessed month with so many important festivals converging at the same time.

There was a time when some religions refused to accept science and this almost brought about their downfall. Today we see the same mistake being done by science in disowning religion and suffering from the sorrows of its own creations. Both of them cannot survive without each other. It is bare truth that scientific inventions and religion by themselves have not been able to provide any perfect solutions to the imbalances we see in the society today. It is essential that both work in harmony, For the effect of our scientific advancement can only be felt if our

society is made of perfect individuals without selfish motives and with a holistic approach to see the world as one large community. We hope all the well well-wishers of SevaDarshan Kuwait provide their dull support of the upcoming mega event supporting our VIKAS school initiative.

This has been the underlying principle of our nation and society. Creation of wealth alone cannot be an individual’s primary concern. We must learn to give back to society what it given to us in terms of relationships, experience and knowledge. Excessive wealth creates craving for more. A well experienced individual with the right understanding alone can withstand this immense thought. Our salutations to Shri.Naryana Murthy for his thought proving speech in Kuwait.

In media, investigative journalism has a position above all. But at the same time when it becomes a witch hunt for vested interests, this becomes abusive. And it becomes oppressive when the accused is not apologized to, when the truth is revealed. As a infant in the field of journalism, Sopanam magazine hopes our media friends realize this journalistic dharma while they report. Likewise all ideologies have their viewpoint that needs to be respected by all. Blind criticism leads us to irrational decisions and actions. We welcome Shri. Mr. M. R. Venkatesh to Kuwait for his speech on India’s affirmative role in the World today.

We wish all our members a month of pious devotion and sacrifice and all of you performing the Sabarimala pilgrimage a safe journey.

Indians have always lived in harmony with the nature. Nature is very closely associated with our daily like, our culture and our religion. From time immemorial we have been careful to protect and respect the nature around us, from animals to green life, we have prayed, respected and been thankful to nature for everything it has provided us.

This thought comes to our mind when we closely watch the Government of India’s recommendation to curtail the flow of pilgrims to the Sabarimala temple. For so many years thousands of people come to Sabarimala to pray to Lord Ayappa. The devotees respect the sacredness of the eighteen hills, take penance and perform their pilgrimage to Sabarimala. The Government’s argument is that the pilgrimage conducted once in a year endangers the tiger reserve in the state. The State government has sought and exemption to the recommendations of the National Tiger Conservation Authority arguing it would hurt the religious sentiments of the devotees. It would come as a surprise to many that this government would take a crucial step without some vested interests. Reducing the number of devotees will bring a shortfall in the massive income the temple generates yearly for the government coffers. Moreover, the Sabarimala temple and its surrounding don’t come within the core area of the reserves. The devotees have been undertaking this pilgrimage for many years now. At the same time, we need to take notice that the government has not been able to provide proper infrastructure in the area for the devotees and this has led to environmental degradation in these areas. The Sabarimala Master Plan clearly outlines steps to be taken to keep the Pamba and surrounding areas of the temple clean. Experts have pointed out that the extensive concrete constructions in the area are increasing the risk of landslides and other disasters. Pollution is not caused only by waste thrown by devotees alone but also by noise which upsets and animals within the reserve. Pilgrims need to realize this and agree to steps taken to reduce this,

What every devotee expects is a clean and hygienic atmosphere to conduct his prayers after a dip in the holy Pampa River. The large number of pilgrims is putting a pressure on the temple surroundings. But it is the duty of the government to undertake development in the area preserving the environment and surroundings.

Often government initiatives to prepare for the pilgrimage season starts only at the last moment and often left uncompleted when the season starts. Instead providing basic facilities for the pilgrims at Pampa, the government tends to see it as a business opportunity and often allocate shops at high rates forcing the traders to charge high prices to make revenue. These traders are least bothered on environmental cleanliness and they tend to be reckless and contribute to the polluting of the area. Despite the fact that many Hindu organizations have come forward to provide these amenities and small charges and at times free of cost, the government is not willing to accommodate them. What the devotees need is good sanitation and proper drinking water rather than high rise buildings. The large scale construction destroys the sanctity of the environment in Sabarimala. Currently all the filth in the area is pushed into the Pampa River increasing the danger to the flora and fauna in the area. Often recommendations to move base camps away from Pamba to reduce the rush at Sabarimala have been dis-regarded by the government. Many suggestions like check dams and fireplaces to dispose of waste is being ignored every season.

The courts recommendation to spend a portion of the revenue from the temple for local area development is a welcome proposal considering the fact that the state government has been using this revenue for other purposes so far. It has often neglected in its duties and has been over charging for the facilities it provides to the pilgrimage center despite receiving huge revenues from the offerings made by devotees. The courts need to differentiate between tourists and pilgrims. Pilgrimage is not a tourist venture. When you lack the perspective to differentiate between the two, you encroach into the beliefs of the devotees who visit the shrine.

It is essential to bridge the gap between environmental groups and religious bodies for this matter. While the government wants to argue for the destruction of forest land in the name of development for the devotees, the environmental groups fail to see the religious significance of the temple and its devotees. We would have to consider the fact that with the economic advancement in our country people now have the facility and economic power to make the annual pilgrimage in large numbers. The shrine attracts millions of pilgrims from all over the world. The government represented by the Travancore Devasom Board is solely responsible for the effective development and proper usage of the resources available in the vicinity of the temple area. We need to take a more scientific and rational approach in development of any kind.

It was month of June and Delhi, the capital city was getting fried in intense summer heat. I was lazing in my chair, enjoying the cool breeze from the room-cooler, after an extended tutorial session with undergraduate medical students when Ram Lal, the departmental peon slipped into the staff room unannounced. “Saab, Aaapko ek badiya chitti he, sayad”(You seem to have an important letter, sir) he commented vaguely in colloquial hindi with a wry smile, while handing me a brown, dirty-looking envelope with a faint governmental seal on it. What could this be? I murmured to myself while casually examining the letter. It was hardly a month back that I had attended an interview for a French Government Scholarship at the Ministry of External Affairs at Shasti Bhavan, but the intimation about it cannot come so soon, perhaps, I wondered! It was with lot of trepidation and excitement that I hurriedly tore open the envelope.

While glossing over the contents, I thought I was in a reverie, and felt like jumping up and down with joy! Voila, I have been selected for the French Government Scholarship for Doctoral studies in Paris University! I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was not dreaming. As if to reward

the messenger of the great news, I pulled out a 10 rupee note from my wallet and stuck it in Ram Lal’s palm and hurriedly ran out of the room to announce the great news to Professor Bagga, my boss and Head of the Department. I rushed too to break the news, without wasting any time, to my Keralite friends, Chandran, Gopinath and to non-keralite colleagues in department, Dr Asha , Dr Chitra and Dr Niveditha. Needless to say, all were unanimous in appluading me for the achievement and honour conferred by a foreign government, after a protracted evaluation process.

I did not forget too to run to meet Professor Lal, my mentor and guide and Principal of the College then. It was him who had goaded me to apply for the French Government scholarship and provided me address of Professor Maurice Panigel of Paris University and it was largely due to these contacts that the personnel at French Embassy, New Delhi found it appropriate and suitable to select me for the coveted scholarhip.

Professor Lal was elated to hear of the news of selection of his favorite master student and colleague and much, to my surprise and despite his military, no-non-sense style of functioning, got up from his chair, came over to the other side and embraced me warmly. I was literally in a trance and it must have

taken quiet some time for me to feel the feet firmly on the ground. With scholarship offer in hand, it did not take long to draft the resignation letter, and promptly submitted it to the College authorities.

Since telephone facilities and telephone usage were rudimentary and since phone charges were exhorbitant, I was unable to contact my family back home in Kerala, to announce the great news. Further, telephones were an unknown commodity in my village (Vallachira) in Trichur too. Though I thought of wiring the hot news home, since telegraphic messages were usually sent those days to announce serious accidents or other terse messages, I thought it wise not to put my family members through an avoidable undesirable shock, albeit of a few seconds!

Through a travel agent based in Barakamba Street, I was able to procure a railway ticket to Trichur, the main station closest to my home. Thought of buying an air ticket to Cochin for dashing home was not an option since the fare was too much for a person earning a meager monthly salary of about 700 Rupees and considering the logistical complications of tedious journey to the airport.

Although I used to dread the thought of a tedious 48 hour-long rail journey homeward from Delhi, this time around my mind was so much filled with excitement of the imminent first-ever foreign trip and thought of sharing the joyful news with family members that time seemed to fly and I was lost in the clouds, enjoying an otherwise gruelling, never-ending train trip. As usual, my elder brother Sukumaran, lecturer then at a college near Guruvayoor, was waiting for me at the station and he too was overjoyed when I broke the news of my selection for the merit scholarship and imminent trip to France for the doctoral studies.

My father, Eacharath Narayanan Nair, an ayurvedic physician and god-like figure of our locality and reputed for his extra-ordinary

healing powers, as usual, maintained his hermit-like composure and murmured tersely, “it is good, but can’t you do all these researches in our country itself? Why go to a foreign land?” My mother, Moorkath Parukutty Amma, was delighted to hear the news of selection of her son for the prestigious French Award, but suppressed her excitement with the following motherly words, “so it might take some time for you to come home for holidays, isn’t it?”

I patiently outlined the advantages of the foreign assignment for my career and future as a whole and that I might be able to save some money from the monthly scholarship. That means, my trip to France will not jeopardize the continuing monthly money despatches that father may have been worried about, for smooth running of the family matters. Further, there was the added bonus of a free trip home and back from France after a period of 3 years and the possibility of scholarship extension for another span of 2 years. The scholarship amount of 1000 French Francs per month was equivalent to almost twice the salary I was earning at Delhi, I argued to cement my case.

My arguments seemed to convince a reluctant father who had only meager income from his ayurvedic practice. Further, his reluctance to insist on any type of consultation fee from parents or guardians of mainly young children, for his wonderful curative prescriptions or instructions meant that monthly contributions from the salary-earning sons and eldest daughter were crucial to ensure a decent living, commensurate with our status in the society. The need for money of my father, however did not prevent him from being a large-hearted philanthropist and I had witnessed many times in the past, his philanthropism extend even to beggars who seek his medical curative help for their ailments and get paid too for buying the required herbal medicines and potions prescribed for the affliction.

Kerala Mural PaintingsAt a glance

Mural paintings in Kerala originated from a distinct temple culture. The rock paintings in Anjanad valley in the Idukki district are probably the earliest evidence of Kerala Mural painting.Archaeologists believe these paintings belong to different epochs, from the upper Paleolithic age to the early historic period.

Kerala mural paintings which are decorative pictorial art form are close to Kalamezhuthu. In both art forms gods and goddesses are drawn with similar colors. But in Kalamezhuthu,we use coloured powder and the pictures are drawn on the floor by hand with powder.

As per experts, Kerala mural paintings are dated between 16th&17th century AD . The walls of temples , sree kovils and old palaces depicted gods , goddesses , mythological stories of Hindu through paintings. The churches of Kerala contain paintings which depicts characters and scenes from Christian mythology

The masterpieces of Kerala mural paintings with reference are :

1. Ramayana murals of Mattanchery palace

2. Mural paintings of Shiva in Ettumanoor temple

3. The”Gajendra Moksham” mural painting in the Krishnapuram near Kayamkulam

4. The mural paintings in the sanctum of Padmanabha Swamy temple in Thiruvananthapuram

5. Kottackal Murals-Kottackal has about fourty paintings which attracts our eyes because of its colors and fineness of lines.Some of the mural paintings owned by Kottackal are Garuda Shakti,Shiva and Mohini etc.

6. The paintings of virgin Mary in the Edappally

church

7. The orthodox Syrian church at Cheppad also have mural paintings

These paintings have been done by expert artists with great patience and purity of mind. Apart from these paintings there are many more temples having mural works in Kerala.

In mural paintings of Kerala the gods and goddesses have stylized body , postures,and facial expressions with wide eyes, elongated lips, neatly exaggerated eyebrows. Our mural paintings resemble the paintings of Ajanta in fullness and roundness of equisite shading . The backdrops of the mural paintings are usually filled with flora , fauna and

some decorative patterns (specially used in mural paintings).

Mural paintings in Kerala are done with five colours (panchavarna). The colors are yellow ochre, red ochre, green, black and white. Yellow ochre and red ochre are important colours in mural painting.black is used for the outlining purpose in mural paintings.

Earlier the paintings were done with natural colours made up of vegetable dyes. Experts of mural painting say that yellow and red colours are mixed from minerals(arsenic sulphide and mercuric sulphide) ,green from the juice of a plant called Eravikkara .Black from the soot of oil lamps, white, the base prepared with lime. The colours are mixed in a wooden bowl with tender coconut water and glue from neem tree.

For past some years mural paintings are also done with acrylic paints and oil paints retaining its texture and value.Mural paintings for past some years are done on sarees , set mundu, shirts etc also. High quality fabric paints are used for this purpose. Lady artists who were not encouraged doing paintings on temple walls diverted their skills of doing Mural paintings on canvas and clothes. Now lots of ladies have come in this stream of art, enjoying and painting with the purity of body and mind.

An adorable change has occurred in this field of art. Kerala Mural paintings on huge canvas done with acrylic paints or oil paints are seen in 5 star hotels ,resorts and with highly rich art lovers. Acquiring huge mural paintings has become a status symbol. Kerala women have craze towards mural

painted sarees and churidaars. Large number of artists earn their living through this art form.

The genius of Kerala mural painting who have saved our traditional art from getting extinct are mentioned below.

1. Sri K.K Warrier--- A noted mural artist and teacher has done great mural paintings for temples including Guruvayur temple .He is the director of Indian school of arts Ravipuram, Kochi .

2. Sri K U Krishnakumar --- Principal of the institute of mural painting in Guruvayur .

C D Dileep, KK Sasi, Asha ,Suresh Muthukulam and Prince Thonnakkal are some of the few names in this field .

Some of the famous institutions that offer training in mural paintings in Kerala are mentioned here ..

Aaranmmula Vaasthu Vidhya Gurukulam , Sri Sankaracharya Samskrutha University Kalady

Guruvayur Chithrakala Kendram Indian School of Arts Ravipuram and Mahe Kalagramam etc.

Mr K.K sasi the principal of Indian school of arts ,Ravipuram say that the children of today should know our culture and tradition through art also. Mural paintings which depicts hindu mythology should closely be taught to our upcoming children. We should enjoy this art not only because of its decorative beauty but also because of the story and the meanings depicted in the painting. Sri K.K sasi the mural artist himself also said that mural paintings and thanjaavur paintings should be taught in fine arts collages also. Kerala mural paintings should be added in fine arts academics . we should not think that art stops with European art .

In conclusion I would say that an artist does paintings for self satisfaction and self realization but the mural painting art is much diviner art form that the person doing it should be both physically and mentally pure.One should know the divine epics of our mythology before it is put in the form of picture.There are lots of youngsters already in this divine field of art.But more of us should come in this art field and spread this divine art form to the upcoming generation.

LEGENDARY

ENTREPRENEUR

“I believe that we have all at some time eaten the fruit from trees that we did not plant. In the fullness of time, when it is our turn to give it behooves us in turn to plant gardens that we may never eat the fruit of, which will largely benefit generations to come, I believe this is our responsibility one that I hope you will shoulder in time.”

Above are the thought provoking words of iconic Shri.N.R.Narayana Murthy, a successful Entrepreneur who placed India on the world IT map and also a humble philanthropist who has improved and enhanced the quality of million Indians.

Shri. N.R.Narayana Murthy is the founder of Infosys, under whose leadership, Infosys was listed on NASDAQ in 1999. Mr. Murthy articulated, designed and implemented the Global Delivery Model which has become the foundation for the huge success in IT services outsourcing from India.

Shri.Murthy is an IT advisor to several Asian countries who has served or still serving on the boards of HSBC, Ford Foundation, UN Foundation, Unilever, Wharton School, Singapore Management University, INSEAD(Paris).

The Economist ranked Narayana Murthy among ten most-admired global business leaders in 2005 and has topped the Economic Times list of India’s most powerful CEOs for three consecutive years from 2004.

Shri.Murthy has been awarded the Padma Vibhushan by the Government of India, the Légion d’honneur by the Government of France, and the CBE by the British government. He is the first Indian winner of the Ernst & Young World Entrepreneur Of The Year award and the Max Schmidheiny Liberty prize, and has appeared in the rankings of businessmen and innovators published by India Today, Business Standard, Forbes, Business Week, Time, CNN, Fortune, and Financial Times.

Today, Infosys has an annual turnover of 7 billion USD and a market value of nearly 40 billion USD. However, it is not the billions Infosys has earned that has made Shri.Narayana Murthy such an icon, but the way it was accomplished. It was the vision he set for his company that it should strive tirelessly to gain respect from clients, employees, authorities and the society by doing the right things that made him an entrepreneur of different kind. The aim was to create wealth in an ethical and legal manner.

Entrepreneurial Development

Shri. N R Narayana Murthy delivered an eye-opening speech on “ENTREPRENEURSHIP” on 9th November at GUST (Gulf University for Science and Technology) auditorium, Mishrif.

Shri.Murthy started his speech requesting youngsters to remember the trust placed on them by Kuwait and to be loyal, hardworking and sincere towards the country which gave them scope to work and earn money for a better living. Then, his speech scrutinized the subject “Entrepreneurship” in a 360 angle.

First, he stressed the importance of entrepreneurship and the way it transforms the society by citing examples of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Fred Smith who transformed the world to a better place by their entrepreneurship in their respective fields.

For defining an Entrepreneur, he quoted the words of Robert Kennedy to dream of things that were never there and ask “WHY NOT”. A Entrepreneur thinks out of the box and produces products that have never existed before.

Shri.Murthy then highlighted the four main attributes an entrepreneur must have.

01. Better Communication – The idea should be conveyed in a simple way. Major failures occur when there is no clear power of idea. A best teacher conveys a complex idea in a concave manner.

02. Market Acceptance – Market atmosphere must be ready to accept the idea.

03. Team Work – No single individual can form a large company. The power of complementary strengths is important for the success of a company.

04. Investment – Financial groups always support better ideas . And it is better to delay the acceptance of financial assistance as the valuation of the idea increases.

Finally, Mr.Murthy spoke on “SOCIAL CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY” i.e to serve the society and especially the less fortunate.

To summarize , let all of us follow the ideology of this true patriotic Indian who has uplifted and transformed enormous dormant corpus callosum in to prospective ones with his hard work and sincere dedication and always ensures to bring smiles on every face he come across.

The world has seen many great entrepreneurs. Undoubtedly, Shri.Narayana Murthy takes a lead among them. But what makes him different from others is his boundless social responsibility. We understand his greatness, when he humbly serves the nation to show his gratitude to the society which gave him everything and made him reach great heights. Here is a global humanitarian, a living example of a successful entrepreneur and true philanthropist, serving this planet to be more peaceful and harmonious.

State Bank of India (SBI) today said it will from January 1 accept only those cheques which conform to new standards. The step has been taken as per the direction of the Reserve Bank of India. To meet the objective, SBI has asked all its branches to issue only with uniform features conforming to CTS 2010 standard cheques to their customers.

All other banks including private sector and foreign banks have also started the process of phasing out of non-CTS cheques for migration to this system. For standardisation and enhancement of security features in cheque forms and its migration to CTS 2010 standard, all branches of the bank will now issue only CTS 2010 standard cheques to their customers, SBI said in a public notice.

"Non CTS cheques will be out of circulation with effect from December 31, 2012 and will not be acceptable in clearing system also," it said. All the customers of the bank are requested to contact their

branches immediately to submit their requisition for issuance of CTS 2010 standard cheques and surrender their existing non-CTS cheques for cancellation, it added.

The homogeneity in security features of CTS 2010 standard cheques will act as deterrent against frauds, and the fixed field placement specifications facilitate straight-through-processing at drawee banks' end through the use of optical or image character recognition technology.

The introduction of new cheque standards 'CTS 2010' was warranted on account of several developments in the cheque clearing namely growing use of multi-city and payable-at-par cheques at any branch of a bank, increasing popularity of speed clearing for local processing of outstation cheques and implementation of grid based CTS for image-based cheque processing etc.

Eating food with the hands in today’s Western society can sometimes be perceived as being unhygienic, bad mannered and primitive. However within Indian culture there is an old saying that, Eating food with your hands feeds not only the body but also the mind and the spirit .

In the Big Brother series some years back, an English participant complained about an Indian participants use of her hands during food preparations and her eating habits, They eat with their hands in India, don’t they? Or is that China? You don’t know where those hands have been. Within many Indian households nowadays, the practice of eating food with the hands has been replaced with the use of cutlery.

Have you ever thought of why previous generations in India ate with the hands? There is a reason for this. The practice of eating with the hands originated within Ayurvedic teachings. The Vedic people knew the power held in the hand.

The ancient native tradition of eating food with the hands is derived from the mudra practice, which is prevalent in many aspects within Hinduism. Mudras are used during mediation and are very prominent within the many classical forms of dance, such as Bharatnatyam.

The hands are considered the most precious organ of action. This is linked to the Vedic prayer

of Karagre vasate Laksmih karamule Sarasvati Karamadhye tu Govindah prabhate karadarsanam (On the tip of your fingers is Goddess Lakshmi, on the base of your fingers is Goddess Saraswati; in the middle of your fingers is Lord Govinda), which we recite whilst looking at our palms. Thus, this shloka suggests that all the divinity lies in human effort.

Our hands and feet are said to be the conduits of the five elements. The Ayurvedic texts teach that each finger is an extension of one of the five elements. The thumb is agni (fire) (you might have seen children sucking their thumb, this is nature’s way of aiding the digestion in children at an age when they are unable to do an physical activity to aid the digestion), the forefinger is vayu (air), the middle finger is akash (ether - the tiny intercellular spaces in the human body), the ring finger is prithvi (earth) and the little finger is jal (water).

Each finger aids in the transformation of food, before it passes on to internal digestion. Gathering the fingertips as they touch the food stimulates the five elements and invites Agni to bring forth the digestive juices. As well as improving digestion the person becomes more conscious of the tastes, textures and smells of the foods they are eating, which all adds to the pleasure of eating.

You may have noticed that elders in the family hardly ever use utensils to measure all the different type of masala, and would instead prefer to use their hands to measure the quantity instead. As each handful is tailored to provide a suitable amount for the own body. Overall there are 6 main documented forms that the hands take when obtaining a measurement a certain type of food ranging from solid food to seeds, and flour.

This is a prime example of how many things within Hindu culture may seem weird and unusual at first glance, but once a closer look is taken it is surprising, but a vast amount of knowledge is revealed.

Matha Amrithananda Mayi Devi, started the proj-ect Amala Bharatham Comapign (ABC), aimed at cleaning India's public places and national high-ways. Through this cleanliness drive, MAM hopes to raise social awareness of humanity's debt to our beautiful earth and nature. In this context, Mata Amritanandamayi Math deployed 3,200 volunteers for a two-day cleaning drive at Sabarimala Sannid-hanam (2,200) and Pampa (1,000) on the 3rd and 4th of November 2012. They included Ashramites, devotees and Amrita University students & staff. The cleaning was carried out in response to the re-quest made by the Kerala State Government.

Speaking on the occasion of inaugural function at SabariMala, Swami Jnanamritananda Puri said that “Amma teaches us that cleaning the environ-ment is worshiping the Lord. Sanatana Dharma sees all elements and aspects of nature as the mani-festation of God. To pollute nature is literally spit-ting on God’s face. He said the our mindset should change and lessons of environmental cleanliness should be imparted to the students from first stan-dard onwards. He lamented cleaning for cleaning’s sake is of no use and is in effect a futile attempt. He reminded that throwing and littering waste materi-als in and around Lord Ayyappa’s holy garden tan-tamount to throwing these waste matters directly on to the face of Lord Ayyappa and all concerned authorities should try to make an awareness among devotees regarding this.

As usual Raja Thatha was sound asleep. His pet grand children Maithree, Rohan and Goldy were getting bored of the vacation. So they took a twig and put it in Thatha’s nostrils. Poor Thatha woke up with a start. Though he was angry, when he realized that it was his grand children who woke up he was pacified. Maithree was already holding a steaming cup of coffee. Raja Thatha was pleased. He asked the children what they wanted.

Maithree replied, “Thatha, you told us lot of tories about our religion from Gita. Are there any other books? Are there any stories in them?”

Thatha replied, “Maithree, Rohan and Goldy, our religion follows four books called Veda. Veda simply means “Book of knowledge”. At the end of these great books, there is what is called Upanishads.”

Rohan got impatient. ”Today you are telling very difficult names. I understand about Veda being books of knowledge. What are these Upanishads?”

Thatha replied, “If you approach a teacher and ask him to teach you some thing, He would tell you first, “come and sit near me”.

Upanishad means “Come and sit near me.” The teacher first teaches something. The students ask questions, He then replies. This is Upanishad,”

Goldy spoke at last, “Thatha this is just like my nursery class. Only thing is, most of the students do not ask anything.”

Thatha replied,” That is true even then. These Upanishads contain few stories, I will tell you all some of them.”

Rohan, Maithree and Goldy who were impatient till then started shouting “Story, Story, and Story.”

Thatha understood that he cannot be further postpone and started telling a story.” There was a great king called Jana. He was very rich. But Jana was such a good king that he gave lot of what he has to every body all people in his city called him “Jana the great. Jana was very proud about this. One day some golden swans came to the garden of King Jana.”

Maithree asked, “Are there really golden swans Thatha?”

Thatha replied, “We do not have them now but old books all over the world tell about them. They were talking with each other. Jana the great knew the bird language” Rohan, “Thatha you are telling a lie. I have heard of several languages but never heard anything called bird language,” Thatha replied, “You are right, Rohan. But birds and animals are able to tell each other how they feel. Only thing is we do not know that language. But Jana the great knew their language.

One swan told the other swan, “Dear, do you see the person there? He is the greatest king; He gives a lot of money in charity.” But the other swan replied, “That is nothing compared to Raikwa-the cart driver.” Then without telling anything further, the swans flew away.The king

was very much amused. He could not imagine a cart driver doing more charity than him. Maithree said, “That is true Thatha.

The cart driver is a poor man and a king is a rich man.” Rohan told, “I agree with Maithree Akka. A cart driver will not be even able to give one rupee for a beggar.”Goldy asked, “Thatha, how much does a cart driver earn? What cart was Raikwa driving?”Thatha replied, “Be patient. Along with the king let us find out who Raikwa is? The king’s police searched all over the world for Raikwa.

At last they found him out in a small village near Calcutta. He was dressed in torn cloths but kept smiling. He seemed to be happy. The police approached him and asked. “Hey Raikwa, what type of cart do you drive? How much money do you earn? How much do you give to charity?” Raikwa replied. “I drive a horse driven cart. I earn daily 4 rupees. Of this, I give one rupee as loan. I give another rupee as repayment for loan. I give one rupee as charity and I spend the other one rupee on my food.”

The police were confused. They were not able to understand Raikwa. They went back to

the king and told him everything. The king also did not understand. He thought that he would help Raikwa to be happier by giving more money. So he went and met Raikwa along with lot of money. Raikwa politely refused and told the king he would be sad if he had more money the king asked him, “I could not understand how you spend your money. Can you please explain it?” Raikwa told, “I work hard and earn four rupees. Out of this I spend Rupee one towards looking after my parents.

This is because they have looked after me when I was a child and this like returning the loan. One rupee I spend to look after my children. This is like giving a loan. I spend one rupee on my food. The remaining money I give it as charity. Though I spend only one rupee as charity, it is one fourth of what I earn. After spending this I will not have any money left.” The king understood how Raikwa was far superior to him.

Maithree said, “I too understand Thatha. Charity is not how much you give but how much you can afford to give so much.”
