Narada – Visit our World





The title may look funny to you right

Today when we speak about this great person people laugh at us because their perception is that he is the creator of problems, but nobody knows the truth that what he is.  

NARADA = Naara - Wisdom   DA – Giver


We read stories of Ramayana, Mahabharata where in our parents always taught us to be like RAMA – like a good boy, but we always miss these kind of short but important characters in the stories as we do. But he is the person who always finds about the lives of people and looks for welfare of the people. Let me put in this way to explain his importance and how his presence can bring the change in the world around we are living and we hope a bit of good, kindness,ethics,values can be added in to this world

Yesterday, my tuition kid asked me to explain his first lesson in Telugu (Narada Mahima) where in the story goes like this, There is a man in forest ,who is a highway robber, he used to rob people after killing them. Once, the robber tried to rob the divine sage Narada for the benefit of his family. Narada asked him if his family would share the sin he was incurring due to the robbery. The robber replied positively, but Narada told him to confirm this with his family. The robber asked his family, but none agreed to bear the burden of sin. Dejected, the robber finally understood the truth of life and asked for Narada's forgiveness. Narada says RAMA RAMA and he walks away, robber stared chanting the word as NARA NARA and he meditated for long years, where in ant hills grew around his body, finally one day when Narada was passing by, he listened chanting form one of the tree as RAMA RAMA, he was surprised and happy to see the robber and bestow him with name “VALMIKI”: "one born out of ant-hills". He is revered as ADI KAVI.

A Robber becoming a great writer, isn't it surprising,we are praising Valmiki as a great writer today, but the change was actually brought by NARADA,if Narada wouldn't have corrected him,he would remind as robber,and we would have a missed a great writer,also would never know the story of Ramayana.

Lot of sins happen around us, but we simple look at it and ignore,we look at them and starts gossiping because in today’s world people need these sort of topics to full their tummy.We never put forward our step to correct what is happening around us, rather we ignore it or we enjoy by gossiping.


People are not looking for the welfare of the people, nor worried about what is happening around,because they are busy with their own personal life’s, leaving aside the world,making a comfortable room for themselves and living in it.People are not correcting if something is going on wrong around them rather encouraging directly or indirectly.

Pity on us, that we are living in such a world and we never want to become Narada.

Oh! God please send Narada back, may be could change this world, tell him to have a short visit to our world and understand what is happening around.
