KATHA SRAVANTHI ( BEDTIME STORY 1/2/22):
After the war of Kauravas and Pandavas was announced at Kurukshetra, arrangements were being made for the war, by clearing the trees, and levelling the ground etc. Krishna and Arjuna come to inspect the battlefield in their chariot. Then,
A small Sparrow, comes to Krishna, and flapping her wings, circumambulates Krishna thrice and tells him that an Elephant knocked it's nest with her newly laid eggs, and shows him the nest. She then pleads that as the war is starting tomorrow, she is worried for the life of
Her kids, and asks Krishna to save her kids. Krishna then says that he cannot interfere with the laws of nature, and what happens should be accepted as fate. The Sparrow after a minute's silence says that she has faith that Krishna would listen to her prayers , and whether he
Saves or kills is his will. Saying so, she leaves and the whole day, she works hard and stocks up food for three weeks in the nest, with complete faith that Krishna will take care of everything else. Next day morning, Krishna and Arjuna arrive at the battlefield,and krishna then
Asks Arjuna for his bow and arrow. Suprised that despite Krishna taking a vow not to fight the war, was asking for his bow and arrow, Arjuna nevertheless hands him over the bow and arrow. Krishna then aims it at an Elephant, saying that this was the one, who was responsible for
The nest to fall, and shoots an arrow at the Elephant. The arrow hits the huge Bell worn by the Elephant, and the bell falls on to the ground. Arjuna says that he missed the target and asks if he needs to shoot, Krishna says never mind. The war continues for 18 days, and after
Pandava's victory, Krishna and Arjuna walk in the battlefield, and then Krishna asks Arjuna to pick up a Bell. When Arjuna lifts the bell, the sparrow along with her 4 young kids fly over circumambulating to Krishna. Amazed at what he just watched, Arjuna realises the power of
Faith. Faith is its own reward & never goes unanswered FAITH is accepting the will of Krishna while putting all efforts,and letting go of worries about things beyond our control. Faith is belief that paramatma knows what's better for us Faith is detachment to the results of Karma

Once Krishna and Arjuna were walking, when they come across a poor Brahmin begging for alms. Feeling sad for him, Arjuna gives a bag od gold coins to him. Very happy, the Brahmin, planning what to do with the money, walks home. Just as he
Was reaching home, a thief grabs the bag of gold coins from him and runs away. Crying and wailing , he reaches home cursing his fate. The next day when Arjuna sees him begging again, and knowing his story, gives a huge diamond out of pity. He safely takes the diamond home, and
Safely keeps it in a pot in the kitchen, and happily sleeps while planning what he would do with the money after selling the diamond. In the morning he finds the pot missing and frantically searching for it,sees his wife carrying water in that pot from the nearby river and coming

Once Indra was in his pompous sabha, while many great kings and rishis were offering obiesances to him. Meanwhile Deva Guru Brihaspati entered the sabha. Indra already filled with pride by all the power, didn't get up from his chair to
Welcome his Guru as required by him. Insulted with this, Brihaspati leaves Indra sabha and vanishes. As soon as the guru vanishes, Indra starts losing his Tejas, and all his fortunes start disappearing. Frightened with this, Indra's pride breaks and he rushes in search of
Brihaspati but couldn't locate him. Asuras knowing this, attack Devatas, who without guru's grace, fall defeated. They all along with Indra, run to Brahma . Brahma angry at Indra's deeds, says he cannot help find Brihaspati as his sin was Guru Apachara. Upon pleading, Brahma says

KATHA SRAVANTHI (BEDTIME STORY 30/2/2022):
Once Narada Muni visited Krishna in his Dwaraka. In the course of his conversation with Krishna, about Maya, Narada says as he is always indulged in Hari Nama Sankeertana, he is immune to Maya, and he says he feels pity for those who get
Entangled in Maya, and calls them imbeciles with a sarcastic smile. Krishna nods, and after some time, asks Narada if they could take a walk together. Narada becomes elated that sakshat Paramatma treats him like a friend and all this is because of his bhakti. They both keep
Talking and walking and loose track of time, and come far away from the palace. Krishna suddenly sits down, and tells Narada he is extremely fatigued by thirst and can't walk and urgently needs water. Narada panics and runs to see if he can find some water and soon finds himself

KATHA SRAVANTHI ( BEDTIME STORY 28/1/2022):
Long ago, at a place called MULABAGAL, a Narasimha Kshetra, a guru Sri.Sripada Raja theertha, was teaching his favourite disciple a word in sanskrit and gave 18 meanings to that one word, and asked him to introspect on that word.
Sanskrit is a complex language the words of which can be interpreted according to the level of intellect of the learner. Hence it is called Garbha bhasha or Guhya bhasha (This is being exploited by many today to misinterpret our scriptures and drive us away from Hinduism). The
Disciple then goes into a cave and starts meditating on the word, and loses track of time, and it gets dark. When one of the other students came in search of him, he sees that he's been entangled by a large cobra . He runs to Sripada Raja theertha and brings him to the cave

In SRIRANGAM, one day, Swami Ramanujacharya was giving a speech on Tirumala Venkateshwara, and suddenly his eyes filled with tears. His disciples rushed and asked him the reason for his tears. He then says that in Tirumala, where
Bhagawan is pleased with Pushpa kainkarya, there isn't any seva done properly to him as none are willing to go and stay in the dense forests of Tirumala. Then one of his disciples ANANTHA SURI says that he would go and do pushpa kainkarya to SRINIVASA if that would make him happy
Ramanuja pleased by his devotion says from now on you would be called ANANTHALWAR. ANANTHALWAR immediately leaves to TIRUMALA taking his pregnant wife and starts collecting flowers and making garlands for SRINIVASA , and does devoted pushpa kainkarya . One day he realises that
