Q2               Whatis the incident – a saint was given a loin cloth tearing 
her saree by Draupadi?

A2                That morning Draupadi went toYamuna to take bath. While 
bathing, her eyes fell on a monk bathing somedistance away.

Therewas only one loincloth on his body. The other loincloth was kept aside 
forchanging. But a gust of wind came and the other loincloth flew away and 
gotswept away in the water. Unfortunately, the wet loincloth also got torn at 
thesame time because it was old. There was a problem in covering the body also.

Thelight had started spreading. The crowd of people taking bath was 
increasing.The monk's confusion increased. How could he stand shameless? He hid 
himselfunder a small bush growing at some distance. He intended to go to his 
place inthe dark when night fell.

Draupadisaw the whole scene and understood the difficulty of the sage. She  
thought of helping. She  did not have another Saree.  So, she covered her body 
somehow by tearing itin half and took the other half with her and reached near 
the bush where thenaked monk was hiding.

Draupadisaid- Father! I have understood your difficulty. I have torn half my 
saree.Cover your body with this cloth and  gohome. Half of my work is also done.

Tearswelled up in the sadhu's eyes. He took the piece of cloth, wore it and 
went hermitage.He  kept blessing in my mind that may Godalways cover her shame.

Thematter become very old. Pandavas lost Draupadi in gambling. Dushasan was 
readyto strip her naked in front of the gathering. He had the same idea to 
takerevenge for Draupadi's abusive words.

Draupadi,in the dire crisis, called out to God, who was sleeping on the 
remaining bed.Narad woke him up and said - listen to the call of the devotees. 
Arrange for herhelp!

Withsleepy eyes the Lord said - "Neither do I help anyone, nor do I surprise 
anyone.Everyone enjoys the fruits of their own deeds. Find out if Draupadi has 
anyprevious virtues. If she has any virtues, she will be rewarded."

Naradlooked at the account book and came to know that Draupadi had torn half of 
hersaree and donated it to a saint. That piece has now become the size of 
agrowing bundle with interest.

Godsaid - Why will we not give the reward of someone's good deeds on time?

Mountedon Garuda and carrying a bundle of clothes, he reached near the 
gathering ofKauravas. Dushasan kept pulling her clothes. God kept fulfilling it 
from above.The puller got tired. The clothes continued to grow, Draupadi's 
modesty wassaved. She got thousands of yards of cloth in exchange for half the 
saree.

Soif a man has not done anything of his own, then even the Creator himself 
cannothelp him.

My note- Ejanma sukrutham.

Q3               Whydoes everyone say to take your children to the doctor when 
they’re sick if thedoctor can’t do anything when they catch a virus?

 

A3                Steven Haddock,LL.B. degree, 25years in litigation, 
administrative law, collections, bankrupty andprofessional regulation4y

Becausemoms and dads aren’t medical professionals who can provide a 
definitivediagnosis.

Herein Canada, we’re about to have a second trial for a couple who ignored 
theadvice of everyone they spoke to take their kid to a doctor. The kid was 
sickfor weeks but the illness would wax and wane, but eventually the child 
diedwithout ever seeing a doctor. The child had bacterial meningitis and could 
havebeen treated if it had been brought to a doctor in time.

Yes,little Bobby may just have a simple self-resolving illness. Let a doctor 
makethat call. If it’s something more serious they can get Bobby to a 
hospitalwhere he can be treated properly. 

Q4               Apartfrom humans, are there other animals that can be 
considered vengeful?

A4                Animal Health Tips, Feb 22

Thisguy.He may look like a cow, made in your worst nightmare.He isn't called 
theWidowmaker for nothing. He kills an average of 200 people per year, much 
morethan lions. The Cape buffalo (and his other buffalo relatives) are regarded 
asextremely dangerous. There have been several cases of hunters wounding a 
buffaloand the buffalo will stalk and kill the hunters. The heavy horn on their 
headis made up of thick keratin, effectively making it bulletproof.

Awounded, but still mobile buffalo, will head into thick bush and woe 
betidethat naive hunter who will follow him into that bush. The buffalo will 
ambushthe hunter inside the thick bush and show him he isn't called a 
widowmaker fornothing.

Thelast face you'll ever see

Asidehumans, the only animal likely to attack a buffalo are lions and 
crocodiles,usually with the lions eating the dust in such encounters. Smart 
lions andcrocs go for weak buffalo and calves.

Unlikemost prey animals, buffalo will attack sleeping lions as a group and 
attempt totrample them to death. They will also come to the aid of threatened 
(or caught)family member and often succeed in driving the predators away.

Woooow!2000 upvotes. Thanks guys. Let me add a few more facts about the 
AfricanBuffalo

    African buffalo can run at speeds of up to57 kilometers (35 miles) per 
hour. The world's fastest man runs at a miserly 27miles per hour. Good luck 
running away from a buffalo on a revenge mission.Unless you're The Flash, and 
you're not being chased by a herd ofsuper-buffalo.

    After resting, herds of buffalo seem tohave a unique system of choosing in 
which direction to move. They vote. Theanimals stand up and face the direction 
where they want to move and thedominant female leads them in the direction 
where most of the animals arefacing. So you've pissed off a herd of democratic 
animals.
