Garuda Garva Khandan !
GARUDA GARVABHANGAM
One day Lord Vishnu tells Garuda to go for and
accompany Hanuman back, who was meditating on a mountain.
Garuda Joyed by the order of Vishnu to accompany
Hanuman back as Garuda was delighted on having the opportunity to have all the
stories which we heard about hanuman coming to reality as we as going to meet
Hanuman, as hanuman is the GREATEST DEVOTEE of LORD RAMA
Garuda fly’s without delay to the Mountain where
Hanuman was chanting the Lord’s Name while meditating .Garuda went and stood
behind him, and made small sounds and then leisurely touched Hanuman with his
wings. Hanuman without any movement stood still as if nothing was touching him.
Garuda touched Hanuman again and there was no acknowledgment from Hanuman
Garuda starts getting frustrated by the annoyance of
hanuman and touches him again bit harder this time. Hanuman remains rock solid
in his mediation. On the other hand Garuda
gets himself hurt by touching Hanuman Harder and using force against the mighty
Hanuman.
Garuda being self righteous and proud of being king
of all Birds and the fastest to fly to places than anyone else Infuriated by
Hanuman’s in- responsiveness, Garuda Gathers his energy and Lashes hard on
still lying Hanuman.
Garuda before he knows what had happened to him was thrown away far back and his wings badly hurt with pain. This made Garuda more angrier, with all his might he jumps again over Hanuman. and Garuda was thrown away far off like a speck of dust.

hard, Garuda ended up hurting himself both physically and mentally were his ego
was hurt, and decided to return back to Lord Vishnu
Post reaching lord Vishnu narrates him the sequence
of incidents that took place, lord Vishnu with smile, advises garuda to be
polite this time and asks him to go back to hanuman yet another time and asks
him to inform hanuman on Lord Rama wanting to see him.
Obeying to the Lords instructions Garuda Re-traced his path to Hanuman without his sense of self and not being proud of his unmatched strength. Garuda standing before hanuman with folded hands, tell hanuman that Lord Rama and Sita wanted to see him, the minute Hanuman Listens to the names of Rama and Sita wakes up from the meditation and jumps to Garuda asking him to whereabouts of Lord Rama and Sita.
Garuda Replies to Hanuman that Lord Rama and Sita Devi were in Vaikuntam waiting for Hanuman and he would transmit Hanuman on his back. As he was the king of birds and was the only one who can carry Hanuman to Vaikuntam .and Hanuman will not be able to make his way to Vaikuntam. But Hanuman instructs Garuda to go ahead and he would reach Vaikuntam all by himself.
Garuda without
reacting to Hanuman , left and goes on his way to vaikuntam as soon as
his wings could take him at the gate
of Vaikuntam Garuda instructs gate
keepers to allow Hanuman inside without
confronting him. To Garuda’s Surprise ,the Guards informs him the Hanumanji was
already there in vaikuntam and were
instructed to arrange for his refreshment as would reach tired .
.
Garuda by now learnt that there are many people stronger than he was and cover distance faster than the king of all birds. Garuda with all his Ego cracked up melted and dissolved and learnt the lesson of not being self righteous and proud . offered his salutations to the Lord Vishnu and Hanumanji.and descended to his place.

Of all Lord Krishna’s Wives; Satyabhama was considered was most
beautiful and belonged to Royal ancestry and offspring of Satrajith, and sole
owner of Symantakamani (Jewel of prosperity) natural to her Lineage she was
considered to be self-important and conceited, on the other Hand Rukmini was virtuous wife and know for un-ending love and devotion towards
Lord Krishna.
One day to stage the drama, Sage Narada descended to Dwaraka and
while visiting the royal palace, met Satyabhama whilst she was getting ready in
her royal attire. Narada in his usual mischievous and acting ignorant tone
asked Satyabhama, whether Lord Krishna lover her more than other Wives and in
process tells her of Lord Krishna loving Rukmini more than Satyabhama even if
she was more beautiful, richer and younger than Rukmini and insists that she deserves more. Styabhama
shocked by what Narada was claiming, pulled herself back and pleaded Narada for
remedy to get back Lord Krishna to lover more than anyone else.
Sage Narada Waiting for the indication narrated her of a religious
practice of Handing over and swear Lord Krishna as a slave to Narada and
Re-claiming Lord Krishna by weighing equivalent Riches like gold and jewels of
Lord Krishna’s Weight , and claimed that Lord Krishna would be pleased of
knowing that you are ready leave your riches for him. Listening to the she
agrees Narada and arranges for Shree Krishna Thulabharam.
The Next day, this was announced in the city Dwaraka that Lord
Krishna will be affirmed as a slave to Narada and Re-claimed by weighing equivalent riches , the word spread
across the city every one gathered at the palace to see what’s to be Staged.

Thulabhar (weighing machine) was called for, to be able to equivalent weight of
gold and jewels to re-claim Lord Krishna, As Lord Krishna Sat in one of the Pan
of Weighing Machine, Satyabhama started putting all her gold and jewels
equivalent to Krishna’s weight, to everyone’s surprise Satyabhama finished all
her riches including Syamantakamani, on the other pan was unable to weigh
equivalent weight.
Narada in his usual style seeing all this was staging the drama to
its climax and was being adamant, of not returning Lord Krishna until
Satyabhama weighs equivalent riches.
Satyabhama not being able to do so was worried and seeking help, in the
process she went to Rukmini and explained her incident.
Rukmini understanding the situation, came up to Scales and asked
to remove ,all the gold and jewels and she placed a single Leaf of Sacred
Tulasi , to everybody’s astonishment , Single leaf of sacred basil weighed more
than Krishna’s weight and Lord Krishna re-claimed back from Narada

There are many such examples all through the Mahabharata explaining
the concentration level of Arjuna, one such famous example quoted is of
Concentration of Arjuna towards dummy bird on Tree
Bird’s Eye on Tree: [Arjuna’s Target on Bird’s eye]
One fine day when Pandava’s & kaurava’s were being
trained under their guru Dronacharya
[Dronacharya was the common Guru for both Pandava’s and
Kaurava’s]
Master Dronacharya placed a Dummy bird on one of the top
last branch of the Tree to test the concentration power of his students, post
placing the dummy bird
Dronacharya Called the eldest one among the Kaurava’s the Duryodhana
asked what he can see on the Branch of the Tree other than Dummy Bird,
Duryodhana replied I can see the Sky Master!
Disappointed with answer given by Duryodhana, Guru Dronacharya
asked Duryodhana to leave the bow and arrow at the same place and asked him to step
aside and with the hope karna will answer better
Guru Called Karna and asks the same what he has asked
duryodhana and Karna Replies I Can see the Tree and leaves
Dronacharya further disappointed with the answer of Karna
and asks him to stand aside and called Arjuna and asked the same question on
what he can see apart from the bird.
Arjuna Answered stating “I can only the See the eye of the
Dummy Bird” [i.e. TARGET]
