Chapter 3
first class
Under the scorching sun, hot and dry air, burning like a furnace, a car is parked in front of a person's house, another car comes and collides with that car quite lightly.
Then one of the people living there saw him. He comes out and picks up a stone and hits that person, but that stone hits the window of someone else's house. The people living there also come out of the house and they all start fighting. Within no time a large crowd of people comes there and starts fighting with each other.
After some time a person comes. Who is watching this whole drama with pleasure? He smiles and goes from there.
_
Bhairav becomes very worried in his mind and says in his mind,
"What have we done? Should not have followed Vedha's instructions. Again got entangled in the affairs of friends. Now if something happens to them, I go. I just wanted to teach them a small lesson but both of them fell straight into the ditch. Perhaps Bodha pulled his leg too forcefully with the help of that thread with his third hand. Now Guruji will not leave us. I will be thrown out of Gurukul on the very first day. Then how will I know my past? Now just make sure these two don't get hurt too much.
John and Millo are falling into the ditch. All his friends keep their buckets and start calling Guruji loudly, "Guruji, Guruji John and Millo have fallen into the ditch".
Then a water hand stops both of them from falling into the ditch. He brings them upwards with the help of that hand.
Bhairav feels the joy of seeing water in the desert and he says to himself,
"It is good that both of them survived and did not get hurt much, but now I will have to stay away from Bodha and Vedha."
His Guru Indra says,
"I had said that everyone will climb this mountain with strength. Then why were both of you in such a hurry?
John says,
"Guruji, our foot did not slip even though someone pulled our foot backwards".
"Well, everyone has a bucket in their hands, so how can anyone pull your leg?"
Millo says,
"But Guruji Vedha has three hands, so he can pull us."
Bodha says,
"But Vedha is walking behind, Guruji, so how will he pull them both?"
Guruji says
"You are right Bodha, Vedha's hand is not that long. He hasn't done anything and you John and Millo should now walk slowly. We will get some medicine upstairs to apply on both of your wounds".
Then a boy from John and Millo's friends appears. His name is Henry. He says to Bhairav,
"why are you showing so much attitude to us? It is only his first day and he starts fighting with John and Millo?
"What did I do? I don't know"
Ambu shouts loudly like an eagle, "We know who has dropped it. There is no need to use much intelligence."
Bodha says "Otherwise what will you do?"
"I will tell you right now what I will do. I will beat you so much that even Guruji will refuse to recognize you."
His words are adding fuel to the fire of Indra's anger. Quenching the flames of anger, he says, "Enough is enough. Stop fighting like children like this and focus on moving up."
Then his Guruji starts walking behind. Gradually they start reaching the top of that mountain.
_
They all see a very big Gurukul. There are not many trees there. Then first of all their guru takes John and Milo to that Gurukul. They all keep their buckets there. There some people lie down comfortably, some people are talking and some people are enjoying the view there.
Ambu says to his friends "You guys don't say anything here. Right now Guruji is there, we will see Bhairav, Bodha and Vedha at the time of eating.
Bhairav, Veda and Bodha all three were looking at that scene there.
Vedha says "We did not do good by messing with them. Now those people will harass us all the time".
Bhairav says in his mind "Vedha is right. After all this, now they are not going to sit quietly. Because of these two, here too I will have a fight with someone or the other. Don't know what will happen next?
Bodha says "Don't worry. We will also see them and you will enjoy this view".
Bhairav says "It is quite beautiful and everything small is visible from here".
Just as the fragrance of soil mixes well with the atmosphere during rain, similarly the cool breeze mixes well with the heat of the sun and a wonderful feeling occurs.
Vedha says, "Those people doing small tasks are showing another civilization. As if we are looking at another world".
Then both of them start laughing but Bhairav does not laugh. Then after some time his Guruji comes and with him comes Milo and John who have bandages tied on their bodies.
He says to all of them, "Everyone go inside the class and sit down. Your mantra class is about to begin."
¬_
Like the eight arms of a spider, there are eight doors and a small mysterious pillar in the middle. Out of those eight doors, only one door is open. They all start going inside that one door.
_
Then they all reach a corridor. They see that there are some rooms there too but only one of them is open. Then they all go to that room. There are many books kept in the corner of that room.
Bhairav says "What are these remaining rooms for?"
Bodha says "Even I don't know about this".
Bhairav thinks in his mind "Hey! How do I forget that I have to stay away from these two?"
Arun says to John and Miles "You are not badly hurt, right?"
"Guruji saved us, otherwise we would have died today."
David says "Hey! Don't say such inauspicious things. No problem, everything is fine now".
Henry says "Everything will be fine tonight".
Then after some time, a person with black hair on his head, slightly tall and wearing red clothes on his body comes with a book in his hand.
All the children there get up and say "Good morning Gurudev."
He smiles and says "Good morning to everyone."
This time, without asking Bodha, Bhairav says in his mind, "What will he be teaching?"
Then as soon as his teacher came, he said, "Wow! Today a new child has also joined us. My name is Ganpati. I will teach you how to chant mantras here".
"Why are you teaching us to chant these mantras?"
"This will be very useful to you."
"What will be useful?"
Then Ambu says, "You will be useful in singing lullabies."
Bhairav looks at Guruji with surprise and says "for real?"
Everyone starts laughing loudly at Bhairav and Ambu's words.
Ganapati says silencing everyone
"He is trying to make unnecessary jokes with you. Don't worry, gradually you will come to know everything. Come on, all of you, sit down and there are a lot of empty books kept behind you. Bring one book each from there".
Then Ganpati starts teaching him Sanskrit. he says
"I teach you Sanskrit grammar all the time. But today I will tell you how this incident happened".
Bhairav and Dhruv's group are ready with their books but Arun and Milon's group are ready with some gram in their hands. Ganpati starts reading and Arun's group starts chewing gram.
Ganapati says, "Once some sound was emanating from different parts of the body of Supreme Brahma. Like O, Oo, Ma and then all these sounds together reach their Riddhiya and form a word. That is the word Om. Then the entire Sanskrit grammar is made from this Om only. It is so important that it is recited at the beginning of every mantra.
Ambu says "Brother, give me some more grams".
Milo gives gram to Ambu. All of them are reading Sanskrit while laughing and eating gram. Then sometime before class, Arun tells Mills
"Are the grams finished?"
Then his teacher says, "Yes Arun grams is finish and so is this class. When will you concentrate on studying Sanskrit? This will be of great use to you."
Then everyone starts laughing at Arun. Arun beats Millo and John and says
"What are you laughing at?"
Bodha says excitedly, "Now the fight will begin. Our examination and also entertainment."
Jack tells Carlos "What a boy this Abhay is. Keep ignoring like girls. If you talk, he ignores you by not talking.
"That's why he doesn't have any group. He wanders alone like a wandering soul.
Both of them go away laughing.
A tall black boy whose blood is hotter than boiling water. His whole body is trembling with the embers and enthusiasm in his eyes. He is very enthusiastic about something.
He is wearing a kadaa in his hand. In which one head had the mouth of a lion which was holding the tail of the other head in its mouth. The whole kadaa looked like a lion.
Abhay says "Enough is enough. I wish I could have a fight with anyone today but that's it. It's been so long since I haven't had a fight with anyone. If only my luck works today and that green or that red fire comes and stops in front of me.
