Rudradeva Shankara (Lord Shiva)
CHAPTER NO:- 01
Nights couldn't be so flicking so times but it was so in Kashipur, small town in Uttarakand. The beauty of this holy region embraces the beauty of Its Rudradev.
"It was a calm night. The sky was stormed with black clouds. There were little but not less noise heard. I was walking through the empty roads of th Street, where roads where seeped with dry leaves and little tears of raindrop. Suddenly a air passed by me in figure of a man whispering "Namo Namo Ji Shankara Bhole Nath Shankara", and passed by me as if shadow went into its illusion. I walked a bit and thought better to take shelter in the straw padded roofs and Molten brick house. There remained the auspicious temple of Lord Shiva. To my concern, I heard a little girl crying", exclaimed old Babu ji Chowdhury.
"Next what exactly happened bapa????", asked Avanti.
"Do you really have the means of intention, dear?", asked old bapu ji.
"I think so", said Avanti.
"So let's continue. I sweeped through the tiles and so do climbed upstairs to find the whole temple turned into such a look as if thunderstorm had warned Kushipur vasinda that He has something to say", claimed bapuji.
Little do Avanti interrupted. "Is that what you people think; For its superstitious", said little girl.
"If you get into what I say you mean really well what Bhole Shankara wanted", said Chowdhury
and blushed a little.
"What happened next?", asked Avanti.
" I saw a little glimpse of something lying on the feet of Shankara. I turned on the torch and found a strawberry sweeten cheeks, cute pink lips and shadow shimmery eyes of a little baby girl, left on the footsteps of God in order to protect her. I was left wondering how deepen does the society even at this date thinks that a daughter is a load in th family, afterall she is the one who is worshipped as Durga maa, Laxmi maa, Saraswati maa, Ambe mata🙏", said Old Bapuji with grief
"So that's where I was born Bapa????", said Avanti.
"You are a god-giffted sensation dear. Avanti we brought you up as little Shankara's boon. And You are such a sweet flower of hope and wisdom", Said Mrs Chowdhury who was sitting next to the man and girl, Doughing the ata.
"But I am an orphan", said Avanti.
"Your are god gifted miss 'nti' huh!!", said Apatai Chowdhury, son of the old Mr Bapar Chowdhury, earlier introduced as Old bapuji.
"I have a wish therefore", said Avanti.
"As long as it's inside the margins of dharma, I shall fulfill it", said bapuji.
"I want to make a statue of Shiva with my own hands and establish it in Kashipur.", Asked Avanti, little do her hopes reflected in her eyes.
"We can allow you to do so but in 1 condition", said Apatai.
What???
"Marry first and then", replied in a coarse voice to make Avanti realize that he was being serious.
Mrs Chowdhury or Nitin mashi for Avanti also nodded her head on Apatai's words.
"Do you want so?", asked Bapuji.
"No.........I want to establish my own sector to make everyone believe that not all females and orphans help the society to move back word.
Bapu..... Please no. I strongly oppose Apa's and Nitin mashi's decision", cried Avanti.
"But this is not so educated society to accept you as a bachelorette.", said Bapuji.
"Then I will sit and count days in hope of this new renovated society until I become old like you and tell the further generation that still the society isn't that much improved to accept orphans, girls and bachelorette.", replied Avanti.
"You are not getting what we are really saying to you", said Nitin mashi.
"Such a fool!!!!", replied Apatai.
"You people can exit.", said old bapuji.
So, the three left when suddenly bapuji scrolled and said "Avanti, Live you life to the fullest".
Beaming brightened face and Avanti laughed and jumped and shouted and such iconic moment she could resisted herself from running to the temple.
Everyday, Avanti wakes up at 5:00 am. She takes bath and barefoot she walks to the temple and pray to Shankara whom she has always idolised from a very young age.
Moti Brahman, the old priest of the shiv mandir loved Avanti, whose spirit of enthusiasm was more than even his own daughter although Avanti was an Orphan.
Avanti ranned upto him and said Moti dadan
Bapa finally gave me my freedom. I will preach Lord Shiva. And help making a new statue for his major establishment.
Moti Brahman replied,"Only your family had given the permission not the society. You have a long way to go for establishing your own importance. Better not let the world see you will you succeed secretly in your aim".
"But my dream is not only to establish Shankara statue but also prove that we can do anything we want, giving no response to those uneducated dim superstitious minds out there", said Avanti.
"Well that's not an easy task. I pray for your well-being child", said Moti Brahman and went inside whispering and chanting bhajans.
"Not so easy but also not impossible", exclaimed Avanti with a determination firm and resolution contact.
