The Karn ataka (kar nataka) Story

The Karn ataka (kar nataka) Story

Translated from Somewhere  byP.R.Ramachander

Few people know this, but the legendary battle between Karna and Arjuna once happened near to the Chola Kingdom, close to current day Bengaluru!

 

That morning, Karna had sworn:

“Before the sun sets today, I shall defeat Arjun!”

 

Confident and fiery, he climbed onto his Rath, the horses neighing like they were ready for Formula 1.

 

Arjun wasn’t far away—just across what today would’ve been a couple of junctions.

 

Karna thought, “Piece of cake. I’ll be there in minutes.”

 

But little did he know, he was about to face the true test of Bengaluru. Not celestial weapons, not divine warriors, but something deadlier: roads and traffic.

 

First came the endless wait at what looked suspiciously like Silk Board.

 

“Why are we not moving?” Karna barked.

 

His driver Shalya replied, “My lord, this is peak hour. Even gods avoid this route.”

 

Then came the diversions: Metro work, service lanes that ended in cows, and Maps shouting “Recalculating!” every two minutes.

 

Still, Karna pushed on, sweat dripping, the sun inching west. He could almost see Arjun in the distance, calmly drinking filter coffee and laughing at memes. Victory was so close!

 

And then… destiny struck. THUD!

The Rath’s mighty wheel sank deep into a massive pothole. No force could pull it out. The more they pushed, the deeper it stuck. Karna’s heart sank—the curse had caught him.

 

In helpless rage, he shouted to the heavens:

“Let no wheel in this land ever move smoothly! Let every traveller taste the pain of being stuck!”

 

And that’s how the land came to be called Karn-ataka—the place where Karna got ataka (stuck).

 

To this day, when you’re stranded in Bengaluru traffic, remember—you’re not late. You’re just part of Karna’s curse.

Family deity according to Maha Periyava

 

Family deity according  to Maha Periyava

 

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

 

Worship  of family deity-Why should we  worship  family deity? What  is the benefit?  -Maha  Periyava    Explains

 

Hindus  have  several Gods-Some  people worship Shiva, Some Vishnu , Saome Sakthi, Some  Muruka and some  others Ganesa, Some people  worship  Sun God  whom we can see

 

Adhi Sankara joined all these sub sects  and made  Sanathana Dharma,Higher  than worshipping all these  is the worship of Family God,-Family God is the God of our family members  who were  born before us but  what  we here refer is the male line of our family-that  is father-grand father -great grand father  and so on

WE  refer this as Gothra-our lineage from a saint

 

Our forefathers always  would  have married Ladies from other  Gothras

They would  have done namaskara (salutations) before family deity, Would  have  given their hair , Would have punctured  their  ears before  their  family deity

 

They would have  gone  to many temples But before we know  what is devotion , our parents would have taken and made us salute before  our family  deity , If we think about it  , we were made  to stand in a huge queue of our ancestors before our family deity

(from  https://kalkionline.com/lifestyle/spirituality/why-should-we-worship-the-family-deity-maha-periyava-explains)

 

Recently  someone  has written face book

 

Family God

 

See  properly the temple  of our family God

Daily  light  the lamp, All problems would run away

If Family deity is decorated and shines ,

Our family  itself will shine

 

Gothra  is a steel chain  that  never has been cut

For all children born in the  familu,

The  giving of hair, the boring of ears were  done here

 

If we  decide  that  the God who protected our forefathers

Would protect  us also, that is very  great  blessing

 

If we  visit the temple  of  family  God

And perform  all recommended rituals there

All our draw backs would  vanish,

Even if there  are thousand Gods

They  will not be equal to family deity
