When Indra Came Out!

So it was! A queer situation! In a even Queerer time. Indra was tensed, confused, and afraid. He was having this strange feeling!

'Why me?' 'Why not Varuna, or his boyfriend?' 'Why not Rudra or Vishnu?'

Thoughts like these were floating in his mind. He had a reputation. A reputation of Warrior, Brave and Mighty.

'How can these strange feelings develop in a man's heart?' thought Indra.King of devas, Lord of men, Indra is invictus, never lost, then? he was loosing himself.

"These feelings, are they proper for a man?" He said while drinking soma. "I've destroyed so many cities which came in our way, Conquered the unconquered. Even the great Vrita couldn't stand in front of me. This day, I couldn't stand on myself!"

Indra honor was at stake, or as he thought so! They call him Thunder, what will they call him now? These feelings for Yuvanashva's New born, which had erupted like lava from the volcano heart of his, If expressed he will surely loose his status! Indra was afraid, for the first time. He never thought that his great fear is not any enemy,but something within.

"Why me, why nature has chosen me! Nature?" Indra saddened, " How can this be natural? This never happened before! Then why these new strange feelings are born in my heart?"

This indeed was a new thing, but once everything was a new-thing! And what happened in the world this time is also unique. Never before a man gave birth to a baby. Now Yuvanashva did it. But why Indra has to participate in this strangeness.

"This surely is a work of Brahmins, they can bind us to do what they want." thought Indra " But why they will do this? Is this a revenge for killing brahmin Vrita? Or they do this for amusement? Oh you brahmins of earth listen to Brihaspati your fellow brahmin and amuse yourself with materials on earth and not us!"

----------------------------------------

While Indra was having these thoughts, Agni entered,"what happening there?", Indra asked Agni reported,"Yuvanashva came to senses after delivery!" 

"and?"

"Its a boy as said the royal doctor"

"Is he healthy?" 

"Yes and the same inquired the father. 'He is born of a great person my king' saying this entered royal brahmin' He surely is healthy!' 'But hungry', The doctor said.'And we do not have anything to feed a new born', said brahmin, ' If nothing is arranged, we have to feed him with honey''Had he born of a woman', grieved the doctor ' He surely have got his deserved milk"

Agni was experienced reporter beyond any doubt.

-----------------------------------------

Listening all this Indra became uneasy.

"No" He shouted, "Nothing matters now" He was furious like Varuna.

"My feeling are genuine, natural, and not imposed!"Indra then wept like Rudra, sobbing he murmured "I've won territories, haven't I Agni! You people respect me and love me as a King, brave and strong. But i'm week Agni! Surely I'm week!"

Agni shouted, "How dare you say that! We believe in you, your are our brave warrior, our great king. Mighty lord! How dare you question our belief!"

Indra smiled, "You say that only because you are unaware of my feelings!"

"What feelings?", inquired Agni for the first time."Leave it", said Indra, " None of it matters now, let us go to Yuvanashva place!"

and so they left

--------------------------------------------

"Look" Shouted Agni, "They are about to feed boy, stop!"

"who is this?", asked the royal brahmin furiously, "You Agni-deva! How can you come without being ignited (invited)?"

"Sometimes as brahmin myself, I'm self ignited" Answered Agni, further he said "and welcome our lord, Purendra!"

"Welcome lord! what bring you here?" The brahmin doubted.

"Love" replied Indra, turning towards Yuvanashva, lord questioned, " How can you let your child feed like an orphan?"

"I have no choice Lord, I'm not woman enough to produce milk!" excused Yuvanashva. 

"But I'm" Saying this Indra, the epitome of manhood took the child in his hand, and put his fingers into the mouth of the baby, "mama dhati" he said.

The doctor was amazed, "Wonderful Nature, see how baby suckle Indra's hand, No need for water or honey or anything, the lord himself has produced milk! Amazing!"

"Indeed amazing", Said Brahmin, " Just now we have seen King giving birth, and now we see Lord feeding him like mother! Wonderful indeed, even what seemed very rare and strange is, let the men know from now, is surely natural"

Agni said, "I do not get who is more satisfied, the baby or the lord. Look at the face of lord! It is glowing like of Soma."

The Lord Indra was looking at baby as he sucked milk. "This indeed is a great feeling" thought the lord, "I don't know why was i so afraid? This feels good. It doesn't matter what world thinks of me! I'm good the way I'm! The truth is I'm true to myself, self alone is truthful!"

Yuvanashva felt awkward, "Brahmin you called Indra 'like mother', while you used 'father' for me. I gave birth to my baby!"

"So you think mother is sweeter a word than father king?" bahmin asked while Indra came out loud, "Think not this king, I'm surely his mother as I've fed him. You surely is his father as you gave birth to him. But a father too feeds his son and mother too gave birth. I here proclaim that I shall ever be known as the one who suckled his baby, Yuvanashva never be embarrassed by this strange incidences for this birth is divine indeed."

"And hence forward the the baby would be called Mandhatri, Hence his name bear the greatness of the lord, the beneficent and ever loving", said Brahmin.

"Jai ho, Prince Mandhatri whose very birth is devine", hailed doctor, "and jai ho Indra, who like God quenched the thirst of baby. You indeed is Quencher and protector"

"Jai ho, Indra-deva, the lord of the devas, the lord of the men, the brave and mighty, thunder, quencher of thirst, protector and loving and ever beneficent", said the brahmin.

"Jai ho, Indra-deva, the lord of the devas, the lord of the men, the brave and mighty, thunder, quencher of thirst, protector and loving and ever beneficent", hailed everyone except Yuvanashva.

Three Idiots

Poorva Mimansa is more atheistic than both Buddhism and Jainism.


Let us see Jainism do not entertains concept of god and Buddha remained his silence both for god and deities.

Later Buddhist rejected god but not deities, Jainism do believes in deities. But in Jainism these deities are not Siddhartha and can only bestow material gains. In Mahayana even god can be believed, and in Hinayana and even in Theravada deities are not rejected although here not much importance is given. 

That, in Buddhism deities are symbolic is a modern interpretations or propaganda , a more traditional Buddhist believes in the ontological existence of deities. although deities are not so important in Dhamma.
In Poorva Mimansa, the earliest document we have is Sabara Bhasya, a commentary on Mimansa Sutra attributed to Rishi Jaimini. Here only, the ontological existence of deities is refuted when Sabara writes , 'the vedic gods are mere words and sounds ' and 'there existence is not outside of vedas ' .No modern propaganda , no atheistic interpretations done as done to Adwaita Vedanta. But the earliest resources itself is clear on its stark atheism. Later Mimansak remains doubtful over deities and Mimansak like Kumarila and Prabhakara wrote extensively to refute the concept of god but maintained silence over deities.

In a nutshell Mimansa was more atheistic in origin over  Buddhism and Jainism  Today Vedanta is more famous among Vedics and many too find Adwaita if they leave Buddhism and Jainism , more interesting than Mimansa, not that mimansa is lesser than any other.

Bhagvan Buddha

"Kamma is a failed theory and nibbana is an unproven hypothesis. These are speculation, there is no speculation of truth. One should relate to these as little as possible. The world is best explained the way its perceptible"

The philosophy often dealt with cosmology, existential and moral issue. Apart from touching the last part to some extent the Buddha remaining his 'arya chuppi' on all others, is one of the greatest philosopher of human history? You got to be kidding me! Can silence create knowledge?
Can you claim that some guy knows the 'theory of relativity', if you yourself do not have knowledge of it beforehand? This is a limited form of knowledge, isn't it applicable to 'unlimited' knowledge? How could Buddha ( Mahavira, Krishna ) be claimed of omniscience when no one else is omniscient! These people just became witty enough to tackle your question (as Mahavira ),  diplomat it with all possible answer ( as Krishna ) or even worst call the question itself 'un-worthy', and maintain there 'arya silence'.

Buddha ji enjoying kheer while all others are drooling! 

Everything happens with chance. The kamma theory is just non-conceivable bakwas. There is possibility that a killer will live a fantastic life. That is why we need law, police, spies and punishments. So the origin of universe is just by chance and probability. If we apply kamma, before existence there was no act, hence no consequences, then this world should never have originated. Even if kamma started acting after origination, then the world should have uniformity, which the world do not have.
We live for joy, pleasure and procreation. To make our life more joyous, pleasurable and happy we should work for it. With work we will get wealth, power and possession  With wealth and all and there rightful injunction we should have pleasure in varied sense With pleasure we achieve satisfaction, the true emancipation not nibbana.
"Will you stop eating wheat because it comes with husk?"
Being indifferent to pleasure and pain only means that one has gone crazy. Not everyone is born asexual buzz kill  Its true that one should not leave pleasure for a promised pleasure in heaven! Then how can we renounce pleasure, love and affection and start living like a stone for something 'nibbana' or liberation?
This 'nibbana' is too like a state of  stone. Then they say that you do not get it right, people get knowledge by sense organs, with perception. These speculation and levels are neither perceptible nor felt! How can someone claim that these senses evolved with nature can not perceive what they do? Is not this like saying 'I can smell with ears, or I can taste with skin'? This condition, level or state you promise is not pleasureful in finite sense how can one be happy in that? Are stones happy? One should avoid joy when it brings more pain or when avoiding it brings more pleasure, but is not he fool who gives away pleasure for some transcendental position. Are not Buddhist, Nirgranth, ascetics and Sanyasies deluded?
