Chereads / Vishnu's Successor / Chapter 2 - The Beginning

Chapter 2 - The Beginning

"Really this is The End, sorry mummy and bhai."

While Kunal closed his eyes suddenly a blinding light fell on his body.

Kunal found himself at a dark place. He tried to look around and found a blinding light at a distance away and he tried walking towards it however he couldn't walk and tried to look at himself but there was nothing there. It shocked him however he came to a conclusion that this is the so called afterlife and the scenes about his death flashed in front of him and he remembered how he died.

And once again he felt extreme anger against those unknown assailants.

He thought if he could get another chance and finds them he will make them regret for even being born.

Suddenly the light at the distance shone brighter and it attracted Kunal's attention once again and he heard a mysterious and devine voice in his head.

"Kunala, you have still that anger in yourself like earlier."

Kunal thought did it get his name wrong. His name is Kunal not Kunala.

"No, I didn't get your name wrong. Kunal and Kunala is the same. Kunala is the name with which you were known earlier and going forward you will be known by this name again."

Who is this crazy person, who is saying that his name should be Kunala. Is there something which I don't know and why I am in this darkness.

And how I am able to hear his voice without my body. Have I gone crazy because of the earlier attack.

"You are at my divine realm Baikunth*. You should know whose divine realm is Baikunth. There are many things which you don't know about yourself and your destiny."

Baikunth???

Am I talking to Shree Vishnu???

Oh my God!!!

Kunal was extremely shocked. Shree Vishnu the protector of universe, who is running the world along Shiva and Brahma.

"Kunala, I was waiting you to turn 25 so that I could guide you towards your destiny. However those henchmen of Rakshasas found you before you turned 25. So I had to intervene to save you. Since I have already intervened a little bit earlier let me guide you towards the destiny which you should have completed a long time ago. However things always happen at their destined time. I know you must have many questions about these sudden incidents and the destiny which I am talking about.

Putra* you will get your answers at the correct time. Now you should go back and start living your life the way you should have been living. And yes their will be many things you will find new."

Kunal was having hard time understanding all these things and sudden talk about Rakshasas and this destiny thing.

Before he could think about anything else the light shown brighter than before and all the darkness vanished and he lost his consciousness again.

However before losing his consciousness he heard, " May this time you attain what you couldn't earlier."

When Kunal's consciousness vanished, the darkness suddenly disappeared from the space where he was earlier and an ocean was there and a huge snake with 100 heads was floating. This snake was so huge that if one looked at it from top or bottom, one wouldn't find the end.

This snake is Shesha Naga the king of Nagas as well as supreme devotee of Vishnu while Shesha Naga was looking at the point where Kunal's consciousness was earlier suddenly he heard a voice

"Swami*, was it right to meddle in it before time?"

The voice from Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, good fortune, happiness, youth, and beauty. She is shapely woman dressed in exquisite garments and precious jewels whose beauty looked otherworldly and if Kunal would have seen here, he would have thought that her beauty was otherworldy and he wouldn't have been able to define her beauty. She is the wife of Vishnu who is god of Preservation, the great maintainer of the universe or multiverse. He was resting on Shesha Naga and Lakshmi was sitting besides him while looking at her husband worryingly.

When Vishnu felt his wife's gaze on him he opened his eyes. Vishnu has dark blue skin, his eyes and lips are a pleasing shade of red. His eyes looked like it can see through one' s soul if you will look into them.

"Priye*, 2500 years ago he should have already achieved his destiny however I was not able to help my friend at that time and he perished while fighting Rakshasas* who took everything from him. While he did achieve the Godhood his life was already coming to an end because he didn't get Amrita* and when he was taking his last breath, I offered to share my powers with him. However he denied that saying that he didn't want to be my successor. He wanted the Trimurti* to become Charmurti* and transferred all his powers to me and asked me to share his powers with him again when he turns 25 in his next reincarnation. And the powers which he shared with me were enough to bear the burden for my action today."

He smiled at his wife,"There's nothing to worry. The time has come that Kunala takes his powers and brings balance to this world otherwise Shiva will destroy everything and I will have to work overtime in helping Brahma to create a new universe again and already there are many universes there."

Hearing his words Lakshmi laughed," Who would have thought that the supreme protector Vishnu doesn't want to work overtime and just want to laze around."

Vishnu just smiled and closed his eyes again.

At a distant place on Kailasha*, a mountain in Himalayas. Shiva, the god of destruction who was meditating when heard Vishnu's words his eyebrows twitched and he opened his eyes looking at Baikunth's direction. Shiva said, "So this is the beginning of Charmurti and that lazy guy wants to laze around more."

Hearing this Parvathi, the goddess of love, devotion and fertility and his wife asked," So Kunala, has already reincarnated?"

Shiva just smiled and nodded and went back to his meditation.

*Baikunth - The divine realm of Vishnu.

*Putra - Son

*Swami - Husband

*Priye - Honey

* Trimurti - Trinity gods( Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva)

*Kailasha - Divine realm of Shiva
