A village was facing
increased attacks from robbers. In search of ending this crisis,
villagers approached a Swamy who entered the village recently. After
a brief talk about the issue and its seriousness Swamy assured them
that he will perform a “Yagna” and requested every family of the
village to contribute Rs 5 towards expenses. He collected the amount
and left into forest.
After sometime, the Swamy
returned to village and said he is short of money for Yagna and asked
them to contribute Rs 10 for expenses. Suspecting this villagers
asked about the location where Yagna is taking place. Swamy answered
them by saying it is in the deep dense forest and left the village.
But the problem remained same.
Once again Swamy returned
to village and this time he demanded Rs 20 towards of expenses of
Yagna, which made villagers angry and they immediately went to their
homes and returned with weapons like swords, axes, sticks to attack
Swamy whom they suspect as one of the member of robbers gang. In high
pitched voice they threatened Swamy to kill if he failed to provide
full details of Yagna and its progress.
In this charged
atmosphere Swamy laughed and made them to sit and relax. Then he said
“Now, I have completed my Yagna,” and returned the total
collected amount. Villagers were surprised and questioned what does
it mean. Then Swamy explained by saying the entire village got united
to kill me, because you suspected me as member as robber, but you
were silent when real robbers were looting your village. He suggested
them to show the same courage and teach a lesson to robbers with
“Hara Hara Mahadev” slogans. Villagers realised this and acted as
advised by Swamy. After couple of incidents villagers were successful
in overcoming the crisis of robbers.
Power of energy is
sleeping in everyone, just we need to awaken it to get into action.
