maadhav Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 In kutch, bharat, there is a village with a small temple out of the vilalge in the middle of small hills that are like desert. at this temple every day rice is cooked and served at the roof top which is not much high compared to the ground. the cayotees and jackals from around the hills come regularly to eat this rice every day. how the temple was made? why feed rice to cayotees? a few centuries ago, a saintly man was travelling on this path when there was no village nearby. at the evening he sat down to eat his dinner - rice. a hungry cayotee came to him and sat in front of him. the man saw that the animal was hungry. knowing that these animals are meat eaters, and he does not have meat, the man cut his hand and served it to the cayotee. what a compassion! the cayotee however, did not eat or even smell it, and just sat there looking at the rice. so, the man served some rice to it. the cayotee ate it happily, and went away. that was a vaishnav cayotee! yes, some animals are vaishnav too, in the devabhoomi. when the people of the area knew this, they realised that the area has some vaishnav animals. so they built this temple at the spot where this cayotee ate the rice. ever since then the temple serves the rice to the cayotees. oh hindus, that is our devabhoomi! such are the reasons why god choose to incarnate there many times. the name of the village is gandhi gaam. but it has another name before gandhians stole the glory of this vedic village by changing its name to gandhi gaam. why not call it chaitanya gaam? if you could find the original name of this vilalge, please share it here.

krishnadasa Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Nice idea to change the name into Chaintanya Gaam. Unfortunately very few or might be none of the politicians are true follower of Vainshnawas, they just use it for the political purpose. All fools and rascals as Srila prabhupada put as Hari hari bol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
