When the Earth Was In Danger 7

Prelude This story is based partly on the Indian mythology and partly on my imagination. The story theme is anger, which can destroy even the entire Earth, but if controlled it can also be converted into creative energy. The incident is from the mythology of Hindus, which speaks, how Shiva the supreme God of Hindus started one day his Tandava Nritya * or the Dance of destruction and how it was controlled …..What was the cause of this anger would be explained in the concluding part of this epic. When the Earth was in danger 07 By then the new foliage of spring had began to smile, on the branches of every tree, All the buds of the flower plants had started blooming, in that new swing of season, Fragrance coming from the sandalwood forests, was flowing in the air all around, intoxicating everyone and everything, All the insects, animals and birds, which were not conscious about this sudden change of season, Began to dance in sweet pleasure, after tasting the intoxication flowing in the air. 25 Even the Koyal* started its sweet spring singing, in her most melodious voice during that time, which she had never sang before. The peacock also started its most colorful and fascinating dance. The Rivers too began to flow with the most pleasing sound, as if they were singing a song. The sky had opened in those moments, its fabulous treasures of alluring colors, to charm the entire universe. The Sun rays coming from behind the hovering colorful clouds were spreading on the earth, a magical scene which no one had ever witnessed on Earth. Such was the grandeur and wind of attractions, everywhere on the earth, that even Gods too got completely lost, what to say of human beings. 26 Embodiment of Shiva* the Neelkantha* which use to fly often high and low in the air, were today dancing like a Peacock, while spreading their blue wings in the air. What had happened to the Earth, why everyone was lost in the realm of a different world. All the inhabitants of Earth and even of the heaven, were keeping a silence only with folded hands. As they were either praying to Shiva or were silently praying to their favorite Gods to save the earth.
