Explanation:
Sitting here on the banks of the Holy River Ganga, I recollect my life in retrospect. It’s been a long journey right form my birth in the south where I was born near the Holy place of Rameswaram Temple. It was early morning when my mother brought me to life. I couldn’t understand then, how painful it is to give birth to a child, but now I realise myself after giving birth to 5 young ones. My childhood was beautiful as we were living close to the Shiva linga built by Rama himself. My mother used to narrate various heroic stories of Rama and his wife Sita. Listening to these stories, there grew a deep desire to meet Rama and worship him but my mother told me that Rama is Shiva and Shiva is Rama himself. So I started going to the Shiva linga every day and I quickly realised that I had an advantage. Unlike humans, I did not have any barrier to worship the Shiva linga, I did not have to wait like humans and could go inside anytime and touch the Linga and worship him. Life went by and I was growing in Rameswaram, listening to my mother reciting the Vedas. As destiny plays its part on everyone, I too had a loss when my father passed away to heaven. Soon after he left us, our beautiful house on a very old banyan tree got demolished by humans because someone wanted to live there. I couldn’t let go off that feeling of being homeless as it was very dear to me where I used to play with all my friends around that tree, but my mom consoled me saying she will build a new one for me. Soon the entire jungle was getting demolished as humans started to occupy to set up their own houses.
Our fellow friends decided to leave the place and go to the west and see if they could settle near the Triyambakeshwar Temple.
On our westward journey, we stopped at a lake to quench our thirst. As we were drinking water, think what you may, either because of our past bad karmas or destiny, my mom while drinking was eaten alive by a cruel crocodile, and I couldn’t do anything but watch as God didn’t give me much strength to fight such a large animal. My friends consoled me and we quickly left the place to save ourselves and reached the Holy place of Triyambakeshwar. Soon after reaching the place I went and touched the Shiva linga and offered my blessings to God and asked for a place in heaven for my mother. We managed to build a new house there but it wasn’t as great as the old one. Life went by and as my youth thrived, I mated with a fellow friend and gave birth to 5 beautiful children out of whom, 4 immediately died and I was left with one son only. I gave all the love to him and used to recite the Vedas which my mother taught me. When I needed my partner the most he left unannounced with someone and went out of my sight. Humans seemed to become more and more selfish and greedy. The water bucket hung to a tree in our neighbourhood disappeared because someone else started living there and they didn’t think it was important to keep that bucket, let alone keep it full of water. We had to face the same situation again and humans seemed to start occupying most of the places where we could live peacefully. All our friends had left us and relocated to different locations and I was left alone with my son. I decided to go to the Himalayas and settle there. This was a very emotional decision for me but I had to take it for the sake of my son. The journey was tiresome and life-threatening but past experiences had taught me to be aware of threats and be safe. Somehow we reached the north and as we were reached the holy temple of Kedarnath, there arose a flood which was approaching us. We quickly flew upwards and stood still in the cold air and were witness to thousands of people dying. I can now think that we have something which the humans don’t, that is Wings, because of which we have been saved today. I bow down to that Great God Vayu who has blessed us with wings to fly so that none of the natural calamity can outrun us. We could not see the effects of nature’s fury on humans. My son asked me who has done this and I replied it was human’s greed and selfishness that was responsible for it. Quickly we flew to the banks of Ganga River and took refuge under a shade and let my son take rest for a while under my wings.
