Chapter-3 IMMORTALITY

At night, RISHI VISHARVA was thinking about ACHARYA SUKRACHARYA's words that, "I have seen the future of demons in your son one day he will become the most powerful king of the world and I have seen that he have the power to take DEVAS heads on his feats."And that time he realizes that his son DUSHGREEV was calling him.

"Yes son, why you are shouting". Acharya said.

"Sorry BABA but you are not hearing my voice, that's why I am shouting like this". Boy said.

"Oh… sorry I was thinking about something." Acharya said.

"About what you are thinking BABA?" boy asked.

"This is not the right time to talk about it". Acharya said.

"You have said that you will give me a lesson on immortality". Boy said.

"Oh… yes yes, so listen carefully that, about 3000 years ago DEVAS decides to do SAMURDRA MANTHAN to gain the AMRIT but there is a problem that if they want to gain the AMRIT than they needs the help of ASURAS because MANTHAN is not possible for DEVAS without ASURAS, if they both will do the MANTHAN with each other then the MANTHAN gets successful and they will get the AMRIT. So INDRA decides to meet ASURAS , but they needs someone who could convince them, And there was only one person who could convince them for this work ACHARYA SUKRACHARYA".

"The same Acharya whom I met in the morning BABA"boy said.

"Yes, ACHARYA SUKRACHARYA is the guru of ASURAS.GOD INDRA sent him to persuade the ASURAS.After few days he came back to devlok and said that "I have convinced the Asuras but they have one condition".INDRA asked "what does they want"?

ACHARYA said, "They also want immortality".

But INDRA said angrily that "this is not possible, If they gets immortality then they will ruin the trilok".

"But DEVRAJ if they doesn't not help us, then SAMUDRA MANTHAN will not be completed"ACHARYA said.

After thinking for some time Indira said "Tell them that we are ready to accept their condition".

"Then one day there was a gathering of gods and demons at the Mandar mountain for the SAMUNDRA MANTHAN, they wrapped great snake VASUKI around the Mandar mountain. The ASURAS held the head of the snake, while the devas, its tail. The MANTHAN went on for a 1,000 years. The force of the MANTHAN was so great that the mountain began to sink. Lord Vishnu then took the form of a huge turtle (Kurma avatar) and, like an island, supported the mountain on his back. The ASURAS turned pale due to the fumes and coming out of the mounths of Vasuki, the snake (as they were closer to the head). Then, a terrible poison came out from the ocean. Lord Shiva swallowed the poison and his throat turned blue since then".But when the ASURAS were ready to take AMRIT, The devas then appealed to Vishnu. He took the form of a beautiful woman, Mohini, and distracted the ASURAS. Volunteering to distribute the AMRIT to all of them, she gives some AMRIT each to each of the devas. RahuKetu, an asura, took the form of a deva and joined the line of the devas receiving the nectar. He gets a sip. Vishnu immediately cut off the head of the demon, but it had become immortal in two parts – Rahu, the head, and Ketu, the body. Rahu swallows the sun and the moon at regular intervals, causing eclipses.By the time the rest of the ASURAS realized what was happening, and that the beautiful Mohini was actually Lord Vishnu, the AMRIT had been distributed to the devas.LORD Vishnu knew that if ASURAS became immortal, they would enslave all beings and cast the trilok into an endless darkness. So you see, son the Gods saved us all".

"You're wrong BABA" boy said angrily."The ASURAS kept their words why were they denied their fair share".

"Son, the AMRIT is entitled to those who can use it properly"Baba said.

"How can you say that Baba, When you know that our mother belongs to the Asura clan".

Yes I know DUSHGREEV, but you don't understand--, but the boy cut his sentence and said, "No you don't understand Baba If the gods had not cheated us we would have been immortal today.We have to take revenge for this, I will take revenge" and after saying that the boy started running towards the KUTIA.
