Get out of comfort zone

Once, there lived a group of vultures in the abundance of a thick forest. The vultures used to fly around in flocks in large groups of 100-150.  One day, they ended up finding an island where they found a lot of food and a very favorable condition to live in. There were a lot of fishes, seagulls, frogs and all that the vultures could imagine. The island was very beautiful as well. The group of vultures got further assured that there is no other animal above them to hunt them down. So all of them desired to stay on the island. The youngsters among the pack were certain that they would stay on the island forever. 

A fews passed by, an old vulture observed that the other vultures are slowly losing their skills; they are no longer being challenged to use their potential, they merely fly. The old vulture summoned every other vulture and shared his thoughts. The old vulture said that they all should go back to the forest and hunt their prey and fly up like they used to be than to live by just eating and losing on their true skills. The young vultures who earlier decided to stay in the island forever quickly disagreed with the old vulture and said the old vulture has lost his mind as he is too old. The other vultures found the old vulture's thoughts genuine and they agreed. The old vulture said they will be flying back to the forest so anyone can join them. The young vultures stayed back and the rest left to the old forest. 

Weeks passed. The vultures who returned to the forest from the island wanted to know how the rest are doing back in the island. So they decided to pay a visit to them. Upon reaching the island the vultures were shocked to find the corpus of the vultures and only a few among the pack were left and even they were wounded. The vultures wanted to know what happened on the island. One among the wounded spoke about the mishap. A ship anchored near the island and in the ship were cheetahs and the cheetahs were set free on the island. The cheetahs' initially didn't attack the vultures but soon they discovered that we are overweight and cannot move quickly or fly away.So they began to feast on us and most of us ended up as meals to the cheetahs' and the remaining are injured as you can see. We made a mistake by choosing to stay.

We must challenge ourselves to become a better version of us

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
