Danku Ratnakar and Devrishi Narad stories of the best

 Danku and Devrishi Narad 

A long time ago, there was a fear of a very dangerous dacoit in some state. The name of that dacoit was Ratnakar. He along with his companions would rob the travelers passing through the forest and would even kill them if they protested. Once Devrishi Narad was also going through the same forests chanting God. When they reached the dense ravines, they saw some people running in the opposite direction.


When Devrishi asked them the reason for doing this, everyone told them about the presence of Ratnakar on the way. But despite this Devrishi started moving forward.


“Don’t you feel scared?” , the people running away asked after seeing them doing this.


“No, I don't believe that there is anyone else here besides me, and I always feel afraid of someone else, not of myself. “Saying this, the sage stepped forward.


After going some distance, Danku Ratnakar came in front of him along with his companions.


Ratnakar – Narad, I am Ratnakar, Danku Ratnakar.


Narad said smilingly – I am Narad, Devrishi Narad, your guest and I am fearless. Are you fearless?


Ratnakar – What do you mean?


Narad – I am neither afraid of my life, nor of failure, nor of tomorrow, nor of stigma, do you know any other fear? Now tell me, are you fearless?


Ratnakar – Yes, I am fearless, I am neither afraid of my life, nor of failure, nor of tomorrow nor of stigma.


Narad – So why do you live here hiding in these dense forests? Are you afraid of the king?


Ratnakar – No!


Narad – Are you afraid of the people?


Ratnakar- No!


Narad- Are you afraid of sin?


Ratnakar – No!


Narad – Then why do you stay hidden here?


Hearing this, Ratnakar got scared and started staring at Devrishi.


Narad – I will answer. You sin and are afraid of sin.

Ratnakar- Don't provoke me so much that I kill you, Narad. I already know that the definition of sin and virtue is always decided by the powerful and they impose it on the weak. I have seen the expansion of empires, by murder, by force, by deceit, I have seen the expansion of commerce, by fraud, by injustice, by unrighteousness, was that not a sin? I was a soldier, I also protected evil and ruthless businessmen… wasn't that a sin? What did I do when I killed the soldiers who treated the women of the defeated people like animals? Have I become a sinner? I have become the culprit of the king, the army and the commander. Was that a sin?


Narad – The sins of others cannot justify one's own sins, Ratnakar.


Ratnakar screamed – I am not a sinner.


Narad – Who will decide? Those who are or are not with you in this journey? Is your wife, your son, with you in this sin?


Ratnakar – Yes, why wouldn't they be with me, whatever I do, I do it only for their happiness. So let those who are with you be the judges. Go, ask your wife, your son, your father, your close relatives, is what you are doing not a sin, and are they all with you in this sin? Are you a partner in this sin?


Ratnakar – Okay, I will go and return now.


And after instructing his companions to keep Narad tied, Ratnakar goes straight to his wife and asks her – “Is what I am doing a sin?” Are you my partner in this sin? ,


The wife says, “No sir, I have sworn to support you in your happiness and sorrow, not to be a partner in your sins.” ,


Ratnakar is stunned to hear this. Then he repeats the same question before his blind father, “Father, is what I am doing a sin?” Are you my partner in this sin? ,


Father says, “No son, this is your earning, how can I share it?” ,


On hearing this, it seemed as if Ratnakar was struck by lightning. He becomes extremely sad and walks slowly back to Devrishi Narad.


Narad- Your friends have left me alone, Ratnakar. 

Ratnakar said laughingly – Narad, you cannot confuse me with these words of yours. I am neither afraid of sin, nor of virtue, nor of gods, nor of demons, nor of the king, nor of the state, nor of punishment, nor of the law. I have betrayed the state, I have betrayed the society, that is why I live here in these ravines. This is my revenge.


Narad – What was the sin that you are afraid of?

The leader of the pigeons was worried that the strength of the pigeons' body was decreasing. It was necessary to get some grain soon. The young pigeon was flying lowest among the pigeons.

Activism is necessary Jackal and Lion stories

     Activism is  necessary   Once upon a time, a thorn pricked the leg of a lion in the forest. There was a wound in the paw and it became impossible for the lion to run. He limped and walked with difficulty. For a lion, it is necessary to run to hunt. Therefore, he could not hunt for many days and started dying of hunger. It is said that a lion does not eat a dead animal, but everything has to be done under compulsion. The lame lion started wandering in the forest in search of some injured or dead animal. Here too luck did not favor him. Nothing was found anywhere. Slowly, dragging his feet, he reached near a cave. The cave was deep and narrow, just like the dens of wild animals. He looked inside the den; the den was empty, but everywhere he saw evidence that animals had settled in it. At that time the animal had probably gone out in search of food. The lion crouched silently so that if the animal living in it returned, he could catch it. Actually, there ...

farmer and rock stories

In the middle of that field, there was a part of the stone protruding above the ground due to which he had tripped and fallen many times and who knows how many times the farming tools had also been broken after colliding with it. Like every day, even today he reached for farming early in the morning, but the same thing happened which had been happening for years, once again the farmer's plow broke after hitting a stone. The farmer became very angry, and he thought in his mind that whatever happens today, he will take this rock out of the ground and throw it outside this field. He immediately ran and called 4-5 people from the village and with all of them he reached near that stone. “Friends”, the farmer said, “Look, this part of the rock that has come out of the ground has caused a lot of harm to me, and today we all have to pull it out by the roots and throw it out of the...
