“Now, it is my turn to ask”, smiled
the Yogi. “Why did you choose me?”
“Although God is one, His attributes
are different in His different manifestations. Your form held a particular
appeal for me. I was awed both by your appearance and character. Here was a
lord, with no kingdom, no material acquisitions, no riches, nothing, yet he was
bestowing gifts upon others. Here was a God sitting serenely in meditation, a
technical God? Someone who loved his wife and children, and was so much at ease
with Nature. Someone who loved the forests and the hills, the rivers and the
springs and all the beings, that lived in them. I loved the way you let your
hair hang loose, and was intrigued at your informal attire. I was particularly
taken in by your spirit of sacrifice. It is said, that once all the Gods and
demons, realised that there was ambrosia in the Ocean. But they had to churn
the Ocean for this ambrosia. Casting their differences aside, they made teams,
and using a mountain for the churner, and Vasuki, the largest snake available,
as a rope, they churned the Ocean. All was well, till they realised, that as a
result of production of ambrosia, venom would also be produced, in sizeable
quantity, by the vomiting of Vasuki, after such an ardous task. This too, had
to be disposed by consuming, in accordance with the laws of Nature. No one dared to consume their little
portions of the venom. Everyone was interested only in the ambrosia. You
stepped forwards and consumed the whole of the venom, because it was of prime
importance to you, that all must get ambrosia, even if it meant your death.
Thereafter they realised, that you were ‘Mahadeva’ Lord amongst lords.”
