✓ Narottam Arjun: Soul of the Sage

t h r e e - c h h a p a d

"Chhapad?" Arjun looked confused, what bee keeps it name "bee"?

" Change your perspective Arjun, just because you see something, doesn't mean that it's true. View beyond that, try to view the truth." Chhapad, the bee said.

Arjun fell in the array of thoughts, just now he saw a huge bee and assumed it to be Demon? The place as monstrous, why? It could be some sages doing penance as well.

Just because the bee came in his vision at night, doesn't make it evil.

"Arjun, you have learnt a lot at Kailash, but there are things you couldn't and would never have learnt there.
The world is made of Evil and Good, it's made of people with both evil and good inside them."

"Chhapad Bee, your words are true. Forgive me for that," Arjun said respectfully.

"You do not need to apologize Arjun,that is what I'm here for, to teach you those things you haven't learnt at Kailash," A gorgeous smile appeared on Chhapad's face, a smile too familiar.

"Mahadev?" Arjun recognised his teacher. "In this form?"

"Yes my dear student, I have taken the form a Bhramar bee to vanquish your brahm  illusions." As a teacher, Mahadev knew that there were a few things Arjun hadn't learnt, and it was his responsibility and right to teach him.

"Do not view ones actions, view ones intention.
On Kailash, everyone looks the same as they are, but, here, not everyone looks the same.
They appear different than they are,"

Arjun nodded, he did notice, Dron looked perfect teacher, until he asked for education. Fighting Takshak seemed petty until the Gods arrived.

"One's action could be killing an innocent tiger, but intention could be of a mother trying save child.
One would see them as killer of an animal, but truth was different.
Similarly, if someone is sweet doesn't mean good, and just because someone is bitter doesn't make them bad."

Seated on his knees, Arjun realised, that this was not meant for him to learn before but only after he had left Kailash, to know more away from it.

Arjun, for Mahadev was not only his ansh and student, but also a brother of Narayan, dearer to Krishna than his life.

Arjun, wasn't just a name, but a reason of his smile. Over years, Arjun's presence in Kailash was warming for him.

He knew Arjun in and out, not because he was a trikal darshi, but because he understood him.

"Arjun, you have learnt what I came here for, it's time for me to return," Mahadev said, still in the form of a bee.

"Mahadev, please, without your presence, I shall never be do anything, I request you to stay here," Mahadev smiled, how could he deny Arjun's request?

"Tatastu, I shall always reside in this place in the form of Chhapad," Mahadev said, he closed his eyes and disappeared, but a part of him stayed back in a ling.

"Mahadev ka ye Chhapad roop adwitiya hai, alaukik hai, aur iss roop ki puja sansar Chhapadeshwar Mahadev ke naam se karega."
Arjun said.

"Chhapadeshwar Mahadevaay Namah," Arjun prayed.

"Parth," Krishna walked in.
He had been searching for his friend since dawn, hearing the loud voice of Arjun attracted him here.

But ARjun's attention was somewhere else, "Forgive me Mahadev, I did not recognize you, it was foolish of me Prabhu, this is form that resides you Maa Uma's Bhramari Devi form.

Shiv Shakti are not two, but one. And hence all your forms are together.
Mahadev Mahadevi;
Gauri Shankar;
Mahakaal Mahakali;
Maatang Maatangi;
Chandrashekhar Chandraghanta;
Kameshwar Kamakshi;
Bhuvaneswara Bhuvaneswari;
Chhinnamasthaka Chinnamasta; and now
Chhapad Bhramari;"
