When the Earth Was In Danger 6
When the Earth was in danger 6
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.
Part 6
Spring Goddess was stunned and speechless for a while,
When the Earth noticed something new in Urvashi*
Even the enchanting magic of spring too,
was wondering with eyes wide open,
The fall of Urvashi* may lead to an end,
of everyone’s hopes and dreams,
The only thought hovering on their mind was that
the end of Earth was inevitable.
Because the last of their hopes to save the Earth
had fainted with the fall of Urvashi,*
Everyone had started in their mind,
the beginning of the reverse counting.
They feared because of the fall of Urvashi,*
which had stopped the Tandava* dance of Lord Shiva,
The cosmic destruction of the Earth and the Universe would start,
Any moment from the third* eye of Lord Shiva. 23
By then, Urvashi* and the goddess of spring
had created an unprecedented intoxication in the air,
The entire earth was under the effect of that wonderful wine of Nature,
The enchantment had started mildly effecting Shiva,* and
it had even started cooling down,
the fire of anger burning with in Lord Shiva.
The dance effects created by the magically dancing Urvashi * and
the season of spring were in their full bloom,
while unknowingly touching the mind and steps of Lord Shiva,
The dancing steps of Urvashi* and the floating aroma of the
Goddess of spring had started creating by then,
a chain on the steps of Lord Shiva.
The lava of anger in Shiva’s third eye Trinetra,*
had started cooling down by then slowly. 24
