Gulp!

 

Lord Krishna and his cowherd friends would take the cattle to graze in the forest everyday. One day when they had gone to the forest with their cattle, they saw a huge crane. As soon as the crane saw Lord  Krishna, it picked him up with it's sharp beak and swallowed him! Shocked at this sight, the cowherd boys fainted. This crane was none other than Bakasura, a friend of Kamsa. Then Krishna from within the throat of the crane created a ball of fire. The crane couldn't bear the heat in it's throat so it immediately spat Krishna out. When the crane attacked Krishna again, he tore the crane apart! Soon, all his friends regained consciousness and were happy to see Krishna alive again!

Why Tulsi Is Not Offered While Worshipping Ganesha

  Once upon a time Tulsi, the daughter of Dharmaraj, was visiting all the holy places reciting the name of Lord Vishnu in order to get married. Once, in her journey on the banks of the Ganges she saw a handsome man with a charming smile on his face wearing yellow silken garments and sandalwood paste on his limbs and wearing gem-studded ornaments. He was meditating on Lord Vishnu as well. This handsome man was none other than Lord Ganesha. Tulsi immediately fell for him and asked him who he was. But, Lord Ganesha did not respond. She then poured some water on him and pushed him with her forefinger. Though Ganesha's meditation was disturbed, he smiled and asked her who she was. After giving her introduction, she asked him to marry her. Ganesha objected saying he was a celibate and not interested in worldly matters. Tulsi got angry and cursed him saying he will have to marry a wicked lady. In turn Ganesha cursed her saying she will turn into a plant and will marry a demon named S...

Story Of Andal

  Vishnuchithan was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. He was childless and hence prayed to the Lord for a child. One day Lord Vishnu answered his prayers. He saw a girl child under a tulasi plant in the garden of a temple. He adopted the girl and named her Kothai. She was an incarnation of Bhudevi. But, Vishnuchithan was unaware of this. Everyday Vishnuchithan used to make a garland of flowers and offer it to the Lord. Kothai grew up devoted to Lord Vishnu as well. Each day her father made a garland of flowers to the Lord, she used to wear the garland on herself and dreamt to be married to Lord Vishnu. She was just a 5 year old girl! Vishnuchithan did not know about this. But, one day when he was about to offer the garland to the Lord, he noticed a strand of hair in it! When he found out the truth, he scolded Kothai.  So he made a new garland and offered to Lord Vishnu which was not worn by Kothai. But, it fell down on the ground. Vishnucithan was puzzled at this. That night, Lo...

Origin Of Samudrika Shastra

  Once upon a time, Lord Murugan, was creating the characteristics of men and women. At that time, Lord Ganesha obstructed it. At this, Lord Murugan got angry and broke one of Lord Ganesha's tusks and was ready to fight with him. Then Lord Shiva appeared before them and asked the reason behind their fight. Lord Murugan explained that when he had finished writing the characteristics of men and when he was ready to write the characteristics of women, Lord Ganesha obstructed him. Then Lord Shiva calmed Lord Murugan down and smiled. He then asked Lord Murugan what was his characteristic. To this, Lord Murugan replied, that Lord Shiva would be known to the world by the name "Kapali". Hearing this, Lord Shiva got angry and threw the book into the ocean and then started to meditate. Later, Lord Shiva summoned the ocean and told it to protect the characteristics of women. Then the ocean told Lord Shiva that the book will be known by the name: "Samudrika shastra" and wha...
