Reading Notes: Karmic Revolution Part B

Son of the Sun: Durvasa the sage came to where Kunti was. Most people were afraid of him because he would put curses on people he didn't like. Kunti however befriended him and had great talks with him. Before long, it was his time to go. Before leaving, he told Kunti a mantra that would allow her to summon any god she wished.

After he left, she decided to test the mantra. She looked into the sun and spoke the mantra. The sun god then appeared standing in front of her. She reached out and embraced him. After she stopped, she noticed that a beautiful child was in her arms, and she felt that he was destined to be great. She, not being married, felt that she could not in good faith keep the child as her own. So, she wrapped him up, placed him in a basket, and sent him down the river.

I really like this story and I feel like there's a lot of potential here to modify it into something else.

Growing up, I had always been very close to my Dad and I looked up to him in many ways. He was a very hard worker and an entrepreneur. His most successful business was, and is, a custom home company named J Taylor Custom Homes, named after me (also check us out at JTaylorCustomHomes.com ). As I ...

Week 5 Story: Hanuman's Leap

Hanuman was having a largely peaceful afternoon surrounded by his fellow monkeys. Having just stopped his chaotic brother Vali from antagonizing Sugriva, he deserved it. Shortly after, Sugriva fetched Hanuman and told him that two strangers were approaching and that he should go check them out to make sure that they aren't coming to cause trouble. He then met Rama and Lakshma who said that they wanted to speak to Sugriva. Thrilled that they weren't dangerous or evil, he carried them on his shoulders to meet Sugriva. Rama and Sugriva agree to help each other and they go off to kill Vati. Later, Sugriva is crowned king of Kishkindha. It was now his turn to hold up his end of the deal. Sugriva gathered Hanuman and the monkeys and sectioned them off into groups. He sent the groups into the four directions to look for Sita and report back. Hanuman went to the south along with Angada, and Jambavan. Hanuman and the southern search party soon reached the beach. They were all very up...
