The Dog's Tail : Tenali Ramakrishna

The Dog's Tail

                  One day Sri Krishnadevaraya came to the court early and want to participate in the discussions of the Ashtadiggajas.The King was in a very happy mood that day.One poet raised a topic that "Man's behaviour is like Dog's tail".All said their views about Man's behaviour.All poets agreed with the he first one except Raja Purohit.

      Raja Purohit : "Who said that Dog's tail won't be straight?.In this empire all is possible so,Dog's tail will be made straight".

                The King heard the words of Raja Purohit and want to make something new and adventurous.

      Krishnadevaraya : "Only discussions on this topic is not enough.We will try that practically and afterwards we see what will happen.What about you Tenali Ramakrishna !"

     Tenali Ramakrishna : " Ha ... you are right Maharaja.... you are right.What we have do for that Maharaja?"

      Krishnadevaraya : "Four members of our court are to be selected.Each have to grow a Puppy for six months.In these six months they will be tried to make those puppy's tails straight.Lets see they will become straight or not". 

       Tenali Ramakrishna : "Maharaja! who were the four people that took care about a puppy and will try in making its tail straight".

       Krishnadevaraya : "One puppy will be brought up by Kotayya(assistant of Raja Purohit)".

                                     "the next one will be brought up by Raja Purohit". 

      Raja Purohit : "Maharaja! Give one chance to the brilliant Tenali Ramakrishna.He will definetly do it.I have total confidence on him".

      Krishnadevaraya : "Ok Raja Purohit ! one will be brought up by Tenali Ramakrishna."

     Tenali Ramakrishna : "Maharaja ! Its ok I will brought up one.Maharaja! why don't you try the remaining one? you are so brilliant than me so....".

      Krishnadevaraya : "ok I brought up the last puppy.I will try my own practical in making straight the puppy's tail".  

                     The King ordered the soldiers to bring a puppy for me and all the poets left for home talking about the task.All the four members with the puppies tried their own ways to make the puppy's tail straight.

                     Kotayya tied the puppy's tail to a stick with a strong string and thinking that "I think in six months it will become straight and Maharaja will be a big reward".

                     Raja Purohit tied a heavy weight to the tail of his puppy and thinking that it will be the correct method for that.It will definitely become straight in six months.

                    Krishnadevaraya took a cylindrical rod and kept the puppy's tail in it and it will be the enough method to make the puppy's tail straight.

                    Tenali Ramakrishna made his puppy to eat less food daily.He will put a little food to his puppy.The puppy becoming week day by day.

                    They tried their best to make the puppy's tail straight for six months.The time for the judgement came and everyone was in the court with their puppies.First Kotayya came and loosen the string of the puppy's tail tied to the stick.After loosening the thread the tail became straight for just 2 seconds and it became curvy.Thus Kotayya failed in doing this and all his expectations came to end.Secondly,Raja Purohit's turn he came and released the string between puppy's tail and the heavy weight.The tail becomes curvy as soon as he released the weight and everyone started laughing in the court.Krishnadevaraya also tested his luck by removing the cylindrical rod around th tail of his puppy.It became curvy again.

      This is the turn for Tenali Ramakrishna.Tenali Ramakrishna brought his puppy which was spending his last days likely.Tenali Ramakrishna's puppy's tail was straight because the puppy doesn't has enough energy to make his tail curvy and the puppy was in a critical condition.The king became angry on what Tenali Ramakrishna did to puppy.Tenali Ramakrishna said "Maharaja! i took special care about puppy for not going things wrong"."I keep the food required for the puppy to live only so,it became very skinny and doesn't have enough energy to lift his tail or to make his tail curvy".

                       Krishnadevaraya asked about the meaning in Tenali Ramakrishna's doing to puppy.

     Tenali Ramakrishna : "Man's behaviour is like dog's tail.If man have lot of grieves and sorrow,His behaviour is like my puppy's tail or straight or not being so proud.he will be in his limits.".

     Tenali Ramakrishna :"If all the things goes well,Man also behaves rude and becomes proud and crosses his limits like the puppy's tail curve ".

                 Krishnadevaraya and his fellow members are inspired by the words of Tenali Ramakrishna and praised him a lot for his brilliance and ordered soldiers to take care about the skinny puppy to make it as before.

                 

The Colour of Diamonds :Tenali Ramakrishna

The Colour of Diamonds

                     One day,Krishnadevaraya was very happy with the sarcastic and intelligent discussion by Ashtadiggajas in his court.He too involved in the discussion and enjoyed.During discussion a man named "Ramayya" who directly entered into his court.Soldiers caught him an started beating him for illegally entering into the court.The King ordered his soldiers to leave the man.The man thanked him for the words of The King and started explaining  his problem.

       Ramayya : "Save me My Lord! Please save me from my owner My Lord!".

       Krishnadevaraya : "What happened ?"

       Ramayya : "My owner cheated me My Lord!"

                      Yesterday afternoon i and my owner was going to buy some ration.The cold winds were breezing on the way.So we brought an umbrella on the road and we were moving.Suddenly a big rain poured,our umbrella became wet and worned out.we started worrying and seeing around for some shelter around.At some distance we saw a temple.We immediately ran into the temple to hide out.The rain lasted for  many hours.We went into the temple in search of any human living there.We found no one there and the temple is full of dust.We decided to relax there for some time.We have to leave the temple as soon as the rain stopped pouring.

                     My owner relaxed at the entrance and i started searching for some place to get relaxed.In search of the place i found a red bag tied its mouth with a tight string.I get it to my owner and we opened the bag loosening the string.We were shocked seeing into the bag There were diamonds, a lot of diamonds.We too became very happy and decided to share the diamonds.But i had a thought that they were the temple's property.If the information leaks we will get punished.

     Ramayya : "Boss! we will give it to The King,because they are the Temple's property".

     Owner : "No Ramayya! these are very costly diamonds".

     Ramayya : "Boss! If the information leaks we will be in great trouble"

   Owner : "Ramayya! if we share these diamonds.Our family will become rich upto next four generations".

                  We both accepted to share.But my owner told me to give my share of diamonds after we went home.If we share now,If anyone sees our plan will be ruined.So we will share these after getting into the house.After sometime the rain stopped and we both went to homes happily.The next day I went to his home happily to take my share of diamonds.But my owner rejected to give my share of diamonds.

    Ramayya : "Sorry! My lord! I want share because of my selfishness.I hear his words and i lost a lot by his words My Lord! Please help me My Lord!".

                   The King order his soldiers to take Ramayya's owner to his court.After sometime the soldiers brought the Ramayya's owner to the King's court.The King asked about the diamonds they found in the temple.

    Owner : "By God's grace all things are going well for me.I didn't had any debts too.what i have to with his share of diamonds.I gave them to him.My Lord!"

    Owner : "I gave all the diamonds to Ramayya and said to submit all the diamonds to The King".

    Ramayya : "No My Lord! he is lying My Lord!.He didn't gave any diamonds to me".

    Owner : "My Lord! I have a doubt on Ramayya that all the diamonds was taken by him itself and playing games in front of you My Lord!".

    Krishnadevaraya : "Raja Purohit!  who was the culprit according to these opinion"

    Raja Purohit : "My Lord! I think Ramayya is the culprit.Take Ramayya into custody and leave his owner.I think he is innocent".

    Tenali Ramakrishna : "My lord! now we have to think a lot and take the right decision My Lord!".

    Krishnadevaraya : "Thinks and sais Is there anyone have any proof among yourself".

    Ramayya : "My Lord! I have no proof".

   Owner : "My Lord! I have two witnesses while i was giving diamonds to Ramayya My two workmen saw my giving to Ramayya"

    Krishnadevaraya : "Soldiers! get the two witnesses to the court.

    Witness 1 & 2 : "We saw our Owner gave the diamonds to Ramayya".

    Tenali Ramakrishna :"My Lord! I want to talk to you secretly Please give me a chance".

                  Krishnadevaraya accepted the Tenali Ramakrishna's proposal and they two went into a secret room.

    Tenali Ramakrishna : "My Lord ! I think  we will examine the two witnesses seperately".

    Krishnadevaraya : "Ok Tenali Ramakrishna ! ".

                     The King ordered his soldiers to bring the Owner first.

    Tenali Ramakrishna : "What is the colour of the diamonds you gave to Ramayya?".

    Owner : "I gave white colour diamonds to Ramayya". 

    Krishnadevaraya : "Ok Mr.Owner Please be aside". and ordered his soldiers to bring witness 1.

   Tenali Ramakrishna : "Witness 1! what was the colur of diamonds that your owner gave to Ramayya".

    Witness 1 : "the colour ... the colour of diamonds was Green.My Lord! They were shining too".

    Krishnadevaraya : "Ok witness 1, Please be aside". and ordered his soldiers to bring witness 2.

   Tenali ramakrishna :"Witness 2! what was the colur of diamonds that your owner gave to Ramayya?".

    Witness 2 : "The colour of diamonds was Red My Lord!".

                    Then Krishnadevaraya came to conclusion that Owner was lying and ordered his soldiers to take Owner and his Witnesses into custody.The King collected all the diamonds from the Owner and gave reward to Ramayya for his bravery against his owner.The King also gave reward to Tenali Ramakrishna for his brilliance in tackling the case well. 

The Beginning of Tenali RamaKrishna

The Beginning of Tenali Ramakrishna

                       Long long ago,There was a kingdom name "Vijayanagara".It is located in southeast of India.It was ruled by "Sri Krishna Devaraya".There were eight poets in his kingdom named "Ashtadiggajas".One of the poet in ashtadiggas was "Tenali ramakrishna".Tenali RamaKrishna became very famous around neighboring kingdoms because of his Intelligence and Tackling power.He came from a village named Tenali and his name was RamaKrishna,But all the people of vijayanagara called him as Tenali RamaKrishna.He has a great talking power.

                     One day Tenali RamaKrishna heard about the greatness of vijayanagara kingdom and he left Tenali for Vijayanagara.On his way to vijayanagara, he met two men one was the King's advisor and other was an assistant.The two men named as Raja Purohit and other Kotayya.Tenali Ramakrishna introduced himself to them.

Tenali Ramakrishna : "I want to work for Krishnadevaraya. Can you please allow me to enter into his court and work for him? Please !...". 

Raja Purohit : " I was a saint since 25 years thats why i got a work in the king's court.You came now and asking like this and I didn't heard your name from any one's mouth.So No Way......".

Tenali Ramakrishna : "I know that I am a small kid before you.But you are a big saint and you are liked by The King .I think you are the only one helping me to enter into The King's court." 

        

  and praised Raja Purohit then Raja Purohit said

 Raja Purohit : "Its Ok,I think you are a nice guy.I will take you to The King's court."  and Raja Purohit left. 

                     The Next day Tenali Ramakrishna came to the King's palace and waited at the entrance gate.Raja Purohit and his assistant saw Tenali Ramakrishan from the palace and ordered to one of the Guard that "I think,The man who was at the entrance of the palace was a Thief.Make him to leave the palace". The Guard came to Tenali Ramakrishna to said that " Leave the palace otherwise I will beat you".Tenali Ramakrishna left the place and roaming around vijayanagara and waiting for work in the King's court.One day just after the sunrise he saw Raja Purohit and his assistant were bathing in the river.Tenali Ramakrishna took the clothes of them from the bed of the river and went behind the tree and observing them.Raja Purohit and his assistant was worrying about the missing clothes.Tenali Ramakrishna came in-front of Raja Purohit and said "If you want the clothes.you want to take me to the King's court on your shoulders".Raja Purohit accepted the Tenali Ramakrishna's offer and get him onto his shoulders walking to the King's court.Everyone on the road were getting laughed at the incident that Raja Purohit was carrying someone on his shoulders.

                 The news came to the King's court and ordered one of his soldier to beat someone who was on the shoulders of Raja Purohit.At the entrance of the palace Tenali Ramakrishna said "My Lord ! you carried me from long distance this is the time for me to carry you to The King's court on my shoulders". The King's soldier was new to the King's court and he doesn't know the Raja Purohit,Just followed King's order and beat the Raja Purohit.Thus Tenali Ramakrishna entered into the court of Krishnadevaraya.

                 Tenali Ramakrishna was taken to the King's court by the soldier.The King asked Tenali Ramakrishna "who are you? why you came to me? why you are teasing Raja Purohit?".Tenali Ramakrishna what had happened before and said "My Lord this is happened and I am ready to face the music".The King saw the Intelligence,Obedience and Bravery in Tenali Ramakrishna,influenced with him and allowed him to stay in The King's court.Tenali Ramakrishna said "Thank you My lord! My dream came true now.Thank you My lord ! Thank you".Thus Tenali Ramakrishna entered into the court of Sri Krishnadevaraya.

He said "walk before me and be blameless".This was a call to Abraham to repent of his mistakes and walk before the almighty God,who had called him for a great purpose.The God changed the name of Sarai to Sarah(Princess).The son of Abraham and the Sarah was named "ISAAC".Abraham was hundred yers old,when God was able to bless him with hi son Issac,who would continue God's promise
                The God said to Abraham "I will bless anyone who bless you.I will put a curse on anyone who put curse on you"."Everyone on earth will be blessed because of you ". The God sees Abraham was busy in playing with his son and neglecting God.The God want to test Abraham.One day The God said to Abraham "Take your son Isaac to the hill named "MORAI" and there offer him to me".Abraham weeped a lot for the God's words and take his son Isaac along with a sword to give his son's life to the God.On the way to the mountain Isaac asked Abraham"father ! why we are going onto the mountain".Abraham said "The God commanded me".They went to the top of the mountain,Abraham prepared Altar for the offering.Abraham ordered Isaac to get onto the altar because "you are a lamb and God asked you as an offering".Isaac accepted God's words and laid on the Altar and closed his eyes.Abraham tied Isaac's legs and hands and prepared for the offering.Abraham says"My Lord! My Lord!" and he lifted his sword on Isaac.Suddenly words of God said "Abraham! Abraham! wait ! wait! you are truly faithful to me.Don't sacrifice your child to me.In your heart you have already done.Release Issac and drop him from Altar".Abraham leaned onto his knees and gave thanks to God.At a distance Abraham saw a lamb struck in the thorns and asked Isaac to take that at his way.Isaac done what his father ordered and Abraham gave the lamb as an offering to God.The God said to Abraham "Abraham! look at he stars and count them".Abraham said "My Lord ! My Lord !".The God said "I will make your descendants countless like stars and sand on the sea shore.".From that years have passed Abraham's people mount up over the land.His wife Sarah died.After some days Abraham too died on a good day in his old age.He lived for 175 years and burried by his sons Isaac and Ishmael.
