Part 25

Govind--Eklavya Meets Dron--Nand In Varunlok

Krishna Wandered Aimlessly In The Forests Of Vrindavan, When He Turned Around Suddenly With The Voice Of Indra Behind Him. "Shri Krishna, I Am Truly Sorry For All My Deeds. My Pride On My Position Had Blinded Me. I Did Not Recognize You, Believe Me, I Wouldn't Have-"

"So You Would Have Done This If I Wasn't There ? Seems Like You Still Have A Bit Of Vanity Left In You ? Indra, Learn To Respect Your Subjects ! I Had Placed These Humans Under You Only Because I Trusted You, And Your Abilities. No Matter However Much I Joke About This With Dau, I Am Truly Disappointed With You. In Fact I'm Thinking Of Replacing You With King Bali Just Now !"

"No Sir ! Please ! I Apologize ! Please Give Me Another Chance ! I Will Make Sure That I Give Rain To Every Corner Of The Earth ! Please !"

"I Know, You Wouldn't, At Least So Soon. I Had Stopped Your Worship Only To Rid You Of Your Pride. Don't Get Me Wrong. I Haven't Any Personal Grudge Against You." Krishna Smiled.

At The Moment, A Divine Cow Named Kamdhenu Descended From The Heaven And Said That Brahma Had Sent Her To Bathe Krishna With Her Pure Milk. She Said, "Shri Krishna, I Am The Mother Of All Cows, And We Are Elated To Have You As Our Caretaker And Protector !" Indra Ordered His Divine Steed, Airavat, The Elephant With A Thousand Trunks, To Gently Shower The Holy Waters Of The Celestial River, Aakaashganga On Krishna, As Kaamdhenu Poured Her Milk. Indra Took A Beautiful Crown Decorated With Sweet-smelling Flowers Of Different Colours And A Peacock Feather, And Placing It On Kanha's Head He Said, "From Today, Sir, You Will Be Known As Govind, The Indra, King, Of The Cows. Oh, How Minute I Am In Front Of You-I Am Just The Indra Of The Gods, While You Are The Indra Of All Animate And Inanimate Objects." Krishna Was Listening Intently To Indra, When Suddenly Mother Yashoda's Voice Rushed Through The Air, "Kanhaiya, Where ARE You Darling ?" Krishna Let Out A Sigh, "Coming, Mom." He Bid Adieu To Indra And Kaamdhenu, "So, As You Heard, I've To Go Now, And Yes, Thanks For The Name, I Like It ! Bye, See You Soon !"

Dron Sat Sharpening His Sword When A Boy Of Arjun's Age Came And Fell At His Feet. Dron Looked At Him, Startled, "Who Are You Son ?" "Sir, I Am Eklavya, The Son Of The Nishaad King Hiranyadhanush. Please Accept Me As Your Student And Servant." Dron Stood Up, And Said, "Nishaad ? You Mean You Are A Shudra, And You Touched Me ? No Way. I Appreciate Your Courage That You Actually Dared To Come Up To Me But I Can't Teach You Anything. I Only Teach Kshatriyas, Whereas You Are A Shudra, And Not Even A Vaishya, Who's Proposal I'd Even Think Of Considering. Now Get Out Of This Place Before Your Mother Mourn The Death Of Her Son !" Eklavya Let Out A Sigh, "As You Wish Sir."

There Was Someone Else Too, Who Let Out A Sigh. It Was Krishna, Now A Handsome Thirteen Year-old. He Had Been Following The Incident Through Meditation. But He Didn't Get Anymore Time To Reflect On It, As He Heard A Loud Noise Outside. He Was Shocked At What He Gathered From The Screams. Nand Had Drowned In The River. But In The Next Moment He Smiled, It Wasn't So Simple. Nand Was A Champion In Swimming. He Meditated For A Moment, And It Was All Clear. He Called Out To Balraam And They Rushed To The Riverbank. The Boys Entered The Waters And Reached Varun Lok In A Second's Time. Varun Dev Came Rushing To Touch The Feet Of Krishna. "Sir, I Apologize, My Servants Have Unknowingly Abducted Your Father ! I Truly Meant No Harm. Please Forgive Me And Bless Me With The Opportunity To Worship You !"

"Fine, If You So Wish Then Go Ahead."

Varundev Escorted Them To The Shores, But Not Before Have Had Worshiped And Fed Them Properly.

"Practicing Hard, Eh ?" Arjun Replied Calmly, Struggling To Keep The Smile Intact, "I Think You Should See For Yourself, And Not Ask Me The Same Question Every-time I Start, Brother Duryodhan. And Don't You Start Now, Karna, I Agree, I'm Proud, I'm Vain, I'm Haughty, I'm Everything, But I'm Not Even A Bit Patient With You And Your Grammatical Skills. So, Leave Me Alone, Before I Seriously Start Showering My Vanity And Brother Bheem's Mace On You !" "Karna Retorted, "Fine, I'm Leaving, Come On Prince Duryodhan, No Point In Wasting Our Breath On A Self-centered Boaster." They Left A Fuming Arjun Behind. He Felt A Familiar Touch And He Turned, "Now, Brother Lets-Forgive-Eveyone, Will You Please Let Me Practice In Peace, Or Should I Start Shooting Arrows Randomly At All Of You ?" Yudhishthir Was A Bit Taken Aback, He Hadn't Expected So Much From His Usually Even-tempered Brother, "Bheem, Nakul, Lets Go There, I Can Explain Today's Lesson If You Want." Sensing The Heat, Bheem Agreed, And Much To Gurumaata Kripi's Surprise, Bheem Sat Quietly Under The Tree While Yudhishthir Explained Certain Shlokas To Him And Nakul.
