Gurukul - A Life Changing Twist In Four Lives

Part 33 - Meeting with Acharya Chanakya

Bandana's POV
"Iski Maa ka naam poochte h" I said. We went to him and asked his mother's name. "Subhadhrangi" He replied. "Thank God woh wala nhi h" Siddharth said. "Varna vaat lag jati. Chandashoka, kisiko nhi choda tha usne...I hope hame kabhi mile na" He continued. "Sorry Dude, yeh wahi h" Sumedh said. "What nonsense? Uski Maa ka naam Dharma tha!" Siddharth said. "Siddharth shaadi se pehle Subhadhrangi tha, Samrat Bindusara use Dharma kehta tha" Samaira said. "Shaadi nhi hui to yeh kaha se aya? Aur agar hui h to ise kese nhi pta k iski Maa ka naam Dharma h?" He asked. Nobody aswers. "Mere paas samay nhi h vyarth krne k lie" Ashoka shouted. We nodded and went to him. He took us to an old temple. A man was standing near Lord Shiva's idol. "Woh rhe Acharya, ab mujhe aggya dijiye" Ashoka said and went from there. We went in the temple.

We were nervous. The Great Acharya Chanakya was standing infront of us. "Confidence ki dhajjya ud gey yaar" Samaira said. We were pushing each other to go and talk to him. "Tu Ashoka jesa dikhta h na, to tu hi ja!" Sumedh said to Siddharth. Finally we went to him. "Acharya Chanakya?" Siddharth said. He turned.

He was wearing white clothes, maybe that's what Acharyas wore. As he looked at us we started sweating by nervousness. We calmed ourselves down. "Ji?" He said. "Acharya hame aapse boht zaruri baat krni h" Siddharth said. He looked at us in the same way as Ashoka did. He started laughing. "Ashoka, putr ye kese vastra dharan krke ae ho tum? Aur aap teeno bhi?" He said. We were shocked. Not really for Siddharth but why did he say 'aap teeno bhi!?".

"Acharya me Ashoka nhi hu. Me Siddharth hu. Ye mere dost h. Ham 2016 se ae h" Siddharth said. "Ashoka yeh tum...???" He asked.

"Acharya hamari baat dhyaan se suniye. Ham jaante h k hamari baat pe vishwaas krna mushkil h, lekin yaha aap hi h jo hamari madad kar sakte ho" Sumedh said. He noticed that we were nervous. He made us sit down and gave us some water.

"Acharya ham 2016 se ae h. Jaha ham rehte h us samay me, boht saal beet chuke h. Hamne itihaas padha h. Ham sab jaante h k yaha kya hone wala h" Sumedh said. "Ham jaante h k is waqt yaha Samrat Bindusara ka raaj h; kucch saal baad Ashoka raaj krega Magadh pe, aur yeh baat aap bhi jante h" Samaira said. "Parantu yeh kese sambhav h? Koi itni saal piche kese aa sakta h?" He asked.

"Acharya hamare...school...vidhyale me hamare guruo ne ek...ek...yantra bnaya tha. Us yantra se ham saalo me piche jaake itihaas dekh sakte the. Usko istimal krne me kucch galti ho gey aur ham yaha aa gey" I said. "Ham yaha se wapas nhi jaa sakte jab tak koi adhura kam, jo itihas ko badal de, poora na ho" Siddharth said. "Me aapki baato pe vishwas kar sakta hu, parantu koi praman h aapke paas, ki aap 2016 se ae ho?" He asked. We thought for sometime.

"Ji Acharya" Sumedh said. He asked Siddharth to show him the Time Machine. "Yeh dekhiye Acharya, yehi woh yantra h" He said. Siddharth pressed that button again and the Machine became big again. Acharya was shocked. Luckily we had our mobile phones. We showed him what technology is in 2016. We showed some pictures. Finally he trusted us. "Thik h. Me aapki sahayta karunga" He said. We took a sigh of relief.
