Ho Don't worry

Ho! Don't worry, originally uploaded by Madhav13.

This is Swati's creation. Lord Vishnu on the five headed snake Adisesha. Godess Lakshmi is at the bottom with Sage Narada - as per Swati - the long haired muni. A bhakta is under the spell of Narayana giving the message 'Ho don't worry'. The entire universe is behind.

She has written the message 'Ho don't worry' on her own and was never told about the message of Bhagavad Gita by anybody - 'Maa Shuchaha' which means don't worry.

Sarva dhamaan parithyajya maam ekam sharanam vraja|
Aham tvaa sarva papebhyo mokshayishaami maa shuchaha ||
- Bhagavad Gita - chapter 18 verse 66*

How did she ever write is something I can never imagine and I have not bothered to ask. Children the simple message with heavy import so very easily.

When are we going to be children?

* I was also reminded of a story of the great acharya Mukkoor Lakshminarasimhacharya. The story goes -

A lazy student wants to learn the crux of Hindu Philosophy.

The teacher asks him to read the vedas. The student says that vedas are unending and difficult to understand. So teacher him to read the Mahabharatha, where the teachings of all vedas are contained. The student says that it contains 100000 verses and difficult to digest. The teacher then asks the student to read the Bhagavad Gita, a part of Mahabharatha and the gist of entire vedas. The student says that even the 18 chapters of Bhagavad Gita are way too many. Then the teacher says that he can read just the eighteenth chapter. The student is lazy even to read the 18th chapter which contains the words uttered by the Lord Himself and asks the teacher to reduce it further. The teacher that he needs to learn only one verse - the 66th verse of chapter 18. The student then says that the verse contains two lines which are one too many for him. Then the teacher tells the student to learn just the two words from the 66th verse of chapter 18 which is a gist of Bhagavad Gita which is a gist of Mahabharatha which is a gist of all the vedas put together and the gist of the entire philosophy of Hinduism and those two words are - 'Maa Shuchaha' - don't worry. The lazy student goes back a happy man having learnt the the entire Hindu Philosophy.
