The birds flying since 3800 years

1800 B.C.,somewhere in the forests of Mysore,India

Acharya Brahmvishmesh was immersed in deep contemplative mood. The forest around seemed to be lighted up due to the aura of his meditation. He was just about to reach a much higher level of consciousness when he felt a tickle on his belly. He opened his eyes in anger but the anger changed to a playful mood as he discovered that his three young daughters Saraswati, Laxmi and Kali were trying to have some light moments with their father. So he ran chasing them and the forest rejoiced at this sight, how a father who was full of affection for his daughters played with them and behaved like a  child.Brahmvishmesh loved the three more than anything in the world.


As time passed, the girls grew. They achieved great heights in different fields. Saraswati was dedicated for her education and music.This made her a great scholar in spirituality. She would practice day in and day out all in the worship of the creator of the universe. Laxmi was exceptionally intelligent in the art of trade and would earn huge sums of money using her skills but she never let her success make her egoistic, she rather kept all she earned at the feet of lord Bramha's idol and considered it to be his blessing. Kali was a great warrior, her precise technique of using weapons and a fierce agility made her a phenomenally skilled fighter and it was her firm belief that all  the ignited energy within belonged to the supreme energy of the universe and not her.


Fate had something different for the girls. Brahmvishmesh was old and sick, he was taking his last breath. The three girls were in tears as they listened their father's last words.
He said,"I want you all to go to the himalayas and meditate on the ultimate truth...om aim hrim klim chamundaye viche".His eyes closed and he left the girls all alone with an unusual but mystical desire expressed. The last rites were performed and the preparationd for the journey were made. It took them two years to reach the Himalayas. The journey was tedious and tested their patience every second, but they were finally there, surrounded by huge mountains.

Survivng in the cold climatic conditions was very difficult. The girls had to starve for days, Laxmi had a forstbite on her toe and there was constant fear of wild animals. The thing that remained constant was the sessions of meditation, they meditated for 10 hours at a stretch everyday focussing all their energies towards the inner light and during this time no power could create a hindrance in their spiritual progress;but the extreme conditions of the Himalayas continued to worsen.It was when the girls did not find anything to eat for 2 weeks taht made them severely ill. The temperature dropped and so they decided to move into a cave. Lack of food and warmth made them fragile and their health deteriorated.The three girls shivered and tears came in their eyes out of pain, a pain that was unbearable. In quivering voice they recited"om aim hrim klim chamundaye viche" and their eyes closed.


Present day 2019, somewhere in the himalayas,India

"Is anyone listening ? Help!!!!Help!!!!", Durgadas cried in fear and anxiety but no one heard his voice. He had come on an adventure trek with his friends a few days ago, unfortunately he lost his way and was left behind alone helpless and hapless. He was really afraid as he was without equipments and food. As he wandered alone he reached the entrance of a huge cave. His instincts said that his friends would have taken shelter there and so he entered the cave in their search. Unknown of the threats of entering a dark cave he took steps slowly and covered quite a long distance inside the cave.He was trapped within, a bigger problem he created for himself now.

All alone he felt distressed. If he tried to gather some courage the darkness of the cave would shake it.It was then that he remembered an incident. Something that had happened few years ago when his grandmother was alive-

Aaji(grandmother):what happened child?You look worried!

Durgadas:I can't explain it to you aaji...

Aaji:you do not need to give yourself this amount of pain.Remember whenever you are in trouble just focus your energy on sincere work and recite "om aim hrim klim chamundaye viche"

Durgadas:What does this mantra mean?

Aaji:It means that the voice of the universe(om) resonates with the powers of goddess saraswati(aim), goddess Laxmi(hrim),goddess kali(klim) and goddess who destroys evil(chamundaye) ;which is the ultimate truth and forms a shield(viche) around a true devotee who worships Goddess Durga with a pure heart.

Durgadas:Ok Aaji I will follow what you have said.

Without thinking  much he began reciting the mantra "om aim hrim klim chamundaye viche" in his loudest voice possible. As he recited the mantra continuously the fears within seemed to vanish and he felt much stronger. In the emotion his eyes closed and what followed next was a straight incessant 10 hours recitation of the divine mantra with the thoughts of just one person in mind, goddess Durga.

"Son..", he heard a soft yet firm voice. He opened his eyes and was filled with amazement for what he saw was truly celestial. In front of him was a lion on which sat a woman with an oil lamp in her hand. The woman's skin seemed to be made of a million scintillating stars. She was none other than Goddess Durga the epitome of fusion of the energies of Saraswati,Laxmi andKali.

The lion moved and Durgadas followed the light of the oil lamp Goddess Durga carried. Very soon he found himself outside the cave and much to his joy he could even see his friends at a distance of half a mile who were searching for him. Goddess Durga's lion turned and began its walk towards the cave again. Durgadas's throat felt heavy and he shouted "Maa....!", Goddess mother Durga turned her face towards him, he continued,"....om aim hrim klim chamundaye viche" ,Goddess Durga gave a smile and entered the cave again with her oil lamp.
