KUTTY STORY 18

Make choices that will benefit others as well
Once there was a man who was travelling through a desert. It was 3-4 days and he had run out of supplies. As it was a desert, he couldn't manage any sojourn neither he could find food or even water. The man kept on walking as long as could. 
He saw a small hut at a distance, In the first go he thought its just his imagination. As he moved further, he realized, he shouldn't have given the credit to his imagination because there was a hut after all. 
The man rushed to the hut and to his great surprise, he saw a hand-pump inside the hut. He was desperate to get some water and so moved the piston as quickly as possible but he got no water and he became more tired and lay on his back. As he lay down he saw a bottle of water hanging from above the hand pump. He grabbed the bottle without wasting any time. Once he had the bottle in his hand he saw a piece of note with it. In the note it was written ' The water in the bottle has to be poured into the hand pump and then pumped again, after you get enough water refill the bottle and hang it back for someone else who might need it in the future.' 
The man was confused. He was so thirsty that he wanted to drink the water as he wasn't sure of getting water from the hand pump. 
The man thought for some time and he decided to take the risk. He poured the water into the hand pump and moved the piston.  He couldn't get water initially, but in some time, he could hear the sound of water and slowly water started flowing from the tap. The man felt really happy.  He refreshed and drank as much as he wanted and filled some for his return journey as well. 
However, he didn't forget to refill the bottle as instructed in the note. He also added 'It works' to the note with the bottle to instill confidence into the next forlorn traveller to follow the instructions. He went his way happily thinking....
Sometimes we should give our decisions a second thought.
Our small effort may be a great favor to someone else. 


Keep others in your thoughts and prayers.

Kutty story #59

   God is within us through our journey of life. The story is about a baby boy who was about to be born into this world. He pleads to God not to send him to earth as it’s very chaotic and deceitful. God convinced him with his soft spoken voice and soft strokes, all about life and death. He tells him its very important for him to be born on earth for a reason. The baby boy finally gives in but asked for a promise from God in return. He asked that God be with him always as he wouldn’t want to go otherwise. So God agrees with a smile. The baby boy asked God “how will I know you are with me when we are on earth as I will not see you”. God replied with a smile “whenever you close your eyes and see you will see two footprints, one will be mine and one will be yours”. So the baby boy was born and life went on as any other baby. He grew into a kid and then into a young man, got settled in life and got really busy with life and its tensions. He had forgotten all about the discussion he had with

The bond Sudhama and Lord Srikrishna were great friends. Both of them were good friends since their days at Sandeepani Saints Ashram as disciples. The students were supposed to follow the instructions by the Saint also they were all supposed to help the master's wife by collecting wood for household purposes. The boys were in charge for collecting flowers for Pooja and wood for cooking.  One day it was ekadashi (the day for fasting) the wife of the master had kept two hands full of dry fruits for Sudhama and Lord Srikrishna as they had to go to the forest. Since it was the day of fasting the students were not allowed to go to the street seeking food from the villagers. However another sage walked into Sandeepani's ashram and asked for food. Sandeepani's wife politely replied they have not cooked anything as it is ekadashi and there is no food in her kitchen to spare for the sage. The sage meditated for a moment and with his inner eye he could see the two hand full of dry fr
