The Dawn of the Sattvic Era – Sattvasaurus

 

 

The Dawn of the Sattvic Era – Sattvasaurus

Author: Dr. Prabhakar Belavadi

Anxiotic Chaos

It was a typical day. Grandpa performed his morning pooja and had breakfast, then relaxed on the sofa while watching the TV news channel. All of a sudden, the screen flashed alarming headlines: “Mild quakes in the Western Ghats,” “Cracks appear in the valley,” and “Dinosaurs emerge from beneath the earth.” Grandpa was thrilled.

In the nearby village, a shepherd gathered his flock and ran, shouting, “Alert! Awake! Strange monsters have emerged!” Grandpa, overwhelmed with curiosity, dashed to the cricket ground where his grandson, Tanay, was batting.

“Tanay, come quick! Stop playing cricket!” Grandpa yelled breathlessly.

Tanay frowned, “Why, Grandpa? I’m batting. Can’t leave now!”

“Your favorite dinosaurs have emerged in India! Run—the TV is flashing the news!” Grandpa exclaimed, straining his voice.

Hearing “dinosaurs,” Tanay dropped his cricket bat and sprinted home, leaving his teammates baffled and Grandpa gasping.

Panic gripped the population as dinosaurs, mysteriously revived, roamed free. Families huddled in their homes in fear, while news channels reported rising tension. But Tanay, instead of being paralyzed by fear, felt a peculiar sense of wonder.

From his TV screen, he watched these creatures closely. Amid the chaos, he noticed something extraordinary—a giant herbivorous dinosaur gently clearing a path for frightened animals to escape. It struck him: these dinosaurs weren’t inherently hostile—they were simply misunderstood.

Drawing inspiration from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous eras he’d read about, Tanay felt a new age had dawned: the Sattvic Era. Unlike the destructive monsters of legend, these dinosaurs, emerging from Patala loka, were humane and peaceful.

Tanay murmured to himself, “Like Newton’s apple, I’ve been prepared for this moment.” With torn pages of dinosaur books and countless documentaries etched in his memory, Tanay was confident in his understanding of this remarkable species.

 

Imagination and Innovation

Tanay was no ordinary 10-year-old. His room was a miniature museum of dinosaurs, housing over 100 models of various shapes and sizes. From towering Brachiosaurus to fierce Velociraptors, Tanay could name each one instantly, almost as if he had lived among them.

His simple logic was: “People believe in the unseen past; they must also believe in the unknown future.”

Determined to act, Tanay rallied his ever-supportive family: his father Bharat, an expert in Artificial Intelligence; his mother Jayashree, a blend of philosophy and digital wisdom; and his vigilant sister Dhriti, a skilled violinist. Together, they formed “Dino Dreamers,” a secret group dedicated to finding ways for humans and dinosaurs to coexist.

As Tanay dreamed big, his ideas sparked innovation. He imagined dinosaurs clearing debris, ploughing fields, towing ships, and even aiding in search-and-rescue missions. With Bharat designing blueprints and Dhriti refining their approach with meticulous observation, the family created groundbreaking solutions.

Their work caught the attention of a compassionate palaeontologist, Dr. Shilpa, who believed in youthful innovation. Together, they established Dino Haven, an experimental sanctuary where humans and dinosaurs thrived in harmony.

Tanay poured his imagination into his treasured notebook, visualizing dinosaurs helping humans in unimaginable ways. With gentle herbivores aiding farmers, aquatic giants towing ships, and winged dinosaurs delivering rescue kits, the possibilities were endless. Tanay’s dreams demonstrated that dinosaurs weren’t relics of the past but partners in creating a better future.

 

Dinosaur Harmony in Motion

The sanctuary blossomed into a vibrant hub where dinosaurs and humans worked side by side. Tanay marvelled at the sight of Brachiosaurus irrigating fields with their tails, Triceratops restoring storm-damaged forests, Mosasaurus towing cargo ships across oceans, and Pterosaurs carrying rescue kits to flood-stricken areas.

Each dinosaur seemed to embody qualities from Indian mythology, as though history and legend converged. Flying dinosaurs resembled Hanuman and Garuda, aquatic giants mirrored Koorma and Matsya, while land dinosaurs were named Bheema and Ghatotkacha. Strangely, their behavior aligned with their mythological namesakes, further enchanting the community.

Tanay was inspired by Krishna’s flute and the ancient art of snake charming
. Practising day and night, he composed soothing melodies that herbivorous dinosaurs responded to with gentle affection. For tougher breeds, Dhriti’s violin proved magical, taming even the most stubborn dinosaurs. Together, they discovered that soft music fostered tranquillity, leading to the creation of a Dino Haven Opera, where instruments like the flute, violin, and keyboard calmed visitors and dinosaurs alike.

Though challenges arose—such as opposition from sceptics and logistical hurdles—Tanay persevered with the guidance of his father and the support of his community. Combining ancient traditions and modern science, he bridged gaps and fostered harmony between humans and dinosaurs.

 

A Global Legacy

Tanay’s sanctuary became a symbol of innovation and unity. His heartfelt speeches and ingenious inventions inspired even the most sceptical minds, proving that imagination and empathy could transform the world.

As demand for trained dinosaurs soared, hybrid Sattvasaurus were created, tailored to meet diverse needs. Philanthropists poured their resources into these wonder projects, advancing global collaboration.

Tanay’s achievements earned him widespread acclaim. Recognizing his extraordinary contributions, the Indian government awarded him the highest award at an age when most children were still exploring their potential.

Standing before an awe-struck audience, Tanay humbly said, “This story isn’t just mine; it’s ours. It’s the melodies of Krishna’s flute, the wisdom of our traditions, and the unwavering love of my family that made it possible.”

As the sanctuary thrived, Tanay and his family watched with pride as humans and dinosaurs worked in harmony. His dreams, born from childlike wonder, reshaped the world—and reminded humanity of the boundless potential of imagination.

A WHISPERED EXTENSION OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA:

 

A WHISPERED EXTENSION OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA:

(Rephrased by Copilot)

Title: “The Unspoken Dilemma”

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden hue on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Lord Krishna stood beside Arjuna. The chariot wheels had churned the earth, and the air was thick with anticipation. Arjuna’s fingers trembled as he held his bow, the Gandiva, aloft. His mind wrestled with doubt, and uncertainty hung heavy in the air.

Arjuna turned to Janardana; his voice barely audible. “Oh, revered one,” he whispered, “I am unnerved by the presence of those Gurus who molded me into a renowned archer—the elderly figures who held my hands from my childhood. And your warriors, whom you sent to fight on behalf of the Kauravas—will not their souls curse me if I kill them? There are siblings of my cousins, my childhood friends, elephants, and horses that I fed with my own hands. The widowers will curse me for the brutality with which I kill their husbands.”

Krishna’s eyes held both compassion and unwavering resolve. “Arjuna,” he said, “you stand at the crossroads of duty and compassion. The battlefield is not just physical; it is the theatre of your soul. Your duty as a warrior is clear, but your heart is torn. Remember this: The soul is eternal, and the body is but a vessel. You are not the destroyer; you are the instrument through which destiny unfolds.”

And so, Arjuna grappled with the unspoken dilemma—the clash of loyalty and empathy. The chariot waited, the horses restless, and the world held its breath. In that moment, the epic battle transcended mere conflict; it became a crucible of the human spirit.

Title: “The Unspoken Loyalty”

The sun dipped low, casting a warm glow on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. The clash of armies had paused, and Arjuna’s heart wrestled with doubt in that stillness. Lord Krishna stood by his side, a pillar of unwavering resolve.

“Arjuna,” Krishna said softly, “look beyond the physical forms. These warriors—your teachers, friends, and kin—are bound by duty. Their loyalty lies not with malice but with honor. They fight against us, obeying their dharma.”

Arjuna nodded, his mind a tempest. “But,” he whispered, “what of Draupadi’s oath? Her hair, soaked in Dushyasana’s blood—”

Krishna’s eyes held galaxies. “Draupadi’s vow was born of pain,” he said. “Yet, consider this: Your brother Bheema vowed the same. And Shakuni, that master of deceit, manipulated the dice to snatch our kingdom. Do you think they would spare your son Abhimanyu or Bheema’s son Ghatotkacha if the opportunity arose?”

Arjuna’s grip tightened on the Gandiva. “Their loyalty,” Krishna continued, “is not to be underestimated. They are here, bound by fate, seeking release from their karmic burdens. You, my beloved disciple, are their liberator.”

Krishna’s command echoed through the ages: “All is fair in love and war. Demonstrate your duty, Arjuna. You are not the destroyer; you are the instrument of cosmic justice.”

And so, Arjuna grappled with loyalty—the silent allegiance of those who stood against him. The chariot waited, the horses restless, as destiny unfolded beyond mere battle—a struggle of souls seeking redemption.

Title: “The Sacred Bowstring”

The sun hung low, casting a warm glow upon the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Amidst the clash of armies, Arjuna’s heart wrestled with doubt, and Lord Krishna stood by his side—a beacon of unwavering resolve.

“Arjuna,” Krishna’s voice was gentle yet firm, “this war transcends mere individuals—a clash not of coaches, gurus, or kin, but of fundamental principles: Dharma versus Adharma. Even if you abstain, Kurukshetra’s battle will rage on. Consider your mother Kunti, your wives Draupadi and Subhadra—what legacy will you leave for them? Will they be diminished by your hesitation?”

Arjuna’s mind churned. The weight of responsibility pressed upon him.

Krishna continued, “Look, Partha, you are bound by duty. This war isn’t just about you; it involves the reputation of all Pandavas. And see that sacred flag atop your chariot—the blessing of Lord Hanuman. Remember, Hanuman epitomized devotion to Sita and righteous Lord Rama. He followed their every word as sacred law. Today, I am Rama, and you are my dearest Hanuman.”

The analogy struck deep within Arjuna. He recalled a test from his Guru Dronacharya—the day they aimed at a parrot perched on a distant tree. Others saw branches, the bird, or its head, but Arjuna focused on a single eye.

Now, determination surged through him. His grip on the Gandiva tightened, hands steady. The enemy blurred; only duty remained. Even the horses felt the heat as Arjuna drew the bowstring. Kurukshetra quivered.

Krishna, beaming, pulled the strings alongside him. Arjuna set the arrows, and with unwavering resolve, he released. The battlefield transformed—a cosmic struggle of righteousness versus darkness.

And so, Krishna conquered Kurukshetra. It became Krishna versus Kauravas, and the valiant warriors fell, their deeds etched in history. But beyond battles, temples rose—dedicated not just to victory but to Lord Govardhan Giridhari. His Bhagavad Gita, born on this sacred ground, became a timeless guide—a beacon for humanity to tread the righteous path.

“Lessons from Kurukshetra: Recognizing Unsung Heroes”

Kurukshetra, beyond being a mere battlefield, reflects the resplendence of Lord Krishna. Temples dedicated to Him abound, and the Bhagavad Gita—His divine discourse—continues to be revered across generations. Krishna’s glory stands unassailable.

However, there lies a significant “but.” What about the valiant Pandava warriors and their steadfast supporters? Where are their temples? Who sings their praises? While a few folk tales and skits celebrate their gallantry, they lack the sanctuaries bestowed upon Krishna.

The lesson is clear: Life unfolds not only in victory and sacrifice but also in recognizing and honoring those who quietly thrive.

Certainly! History is a treasure trove of lessons waiting to be discovered. Let’s explore a few more historical insights beyond Kurukshetra:

1.  ****Unity and Dharma (Righteousness)**:

o   Kurukshetra teaches us about the struggle between dharma (righteousness) and adharma (unrighteousness). The Pandavas fought for justice, even against their own kin. This underscores the importance of standing up for what is right, even in difficult circumstances.

2.  Leadership and Strategy:

o   The Kurukshetra War featured brilliant military strategists like Bhishma, Drona, and Karna. Their decisions shaped the outcome. We learn that leadership involves not only courage but also strategic thinking and adaptability.

3.  Consequences of Blind Loyalty:

o   Duryodhana’s unwavering loyalty to his uncle Shakuni led to disastrous consequences. Blind loyalty without critical thinking can lead to downfall. We must evaluate our allegiances carefully.

4.  The Power of Words (Bhagavad Gita):

o   The Bhagavad Gita, spoken by Krishna to Arjuna on the battlefield, emphasizes duty, selflessness, and devotion. It teaches us that words have immense power—they can inspire, guide, and transform.

5.  Aftermath and Healing:

o   The aftermath of Kurukshetra was devastating. The Pandavas won but at great cost. We learn that victory often comes with sacrifices. Healing and rebuilding are essential after any conflict.

6.  Legacy and Remembrance:

o   The memory of Kurukshetra lives on through texts, art, and cultural practices. It reminds us that our actions echo through time. What legacy do we want to leave behind?

Remember, history isn’t just about dates and battles; it’s about human experiences, choices, and growth.

"Are women a challenge for men?"

 

"Are women a challenge for men?"

 

At this age, with my barren head shining, ready for the photo shooter to utilise, I have seen the women then and now. A battle is raging in my head now.

"Are women a challenge for men?"

But then when? If so, how? Let me sprinkle the torch rays on it and see if it is ‘nay’ or ‘Yay’.

From the day Eve succumbed to the temptation of Adam or vice versa, the parity of the superiority of man and woman continues to rattle curious minds all over the universe. With the robust approach of men physically or mentally aided by nature’s favour, the scale always tilts in HIS favour. This tilt led to the allocation of duties. Men wandered in the open in search of food and the needy tools. Women worked in and around the four walls not that she was incapable.

Did this arrangement work in favour of the wily women? Certainly, she soon realised that these tiring men on their return were yearning for both food and sex. It was a Blessing in Disguise for her. The women capable of providing both slowly developed a grip over them. She tightened the noose. The beginning of WOMEN EMPOWEMENT. It’s  trivial if they were beaten or even abused often by men. They were the utmost exceptional cases. The women gathered at leisure times to master the skill of singing and dancing, despite learning new mouth-watering recipes. This enabled them to entertain the men folk once in a while. The men not to be let down, beat the drums and played rhythmic tunes through the musical instruments. Occasional festivals were born. Theatrical items were added wherein men dominated. So were the sports and games. Slowly boys started attending schools, and mastered literature, science, technology, medicine and whatnot. In the days of Maharaja and kings, women were mere subordinates (maids) or entertainers. They were even forced to please the kingly guests. In a few areas, women were made to watch the activities from covered windows. Even queens and princesses were not exposed.

‘Necessity is the mother of invention’ it is said. In certain inevitable circumstances in the kingdom, brave women took over. History is a testament to this. Battles were won and lost; lives were unnecessarily sacrificed just for the sake of an attractive lady. Memorials were built. Many kingdoms were doomed due to overemphasis by kings on enchanting dancing women in the courtyard intoxicated. The saga goes on with women-centered activities. Women were used as strategic tools to overpower brave warriors and rulers. Again, the women held the sway.

The school textbooks highlighted the stories of the accomplishments of these women. Slowly but steadily, the number of learning women boomed all over. Women believed they could do it. They can stand shoulder to shoulder with men. They were inferior to none. They realised that their only hurdle was freedom of action, confinement, and the prevailing barriers in the culture. One by one they crossed the thresholds. They excelled in literature, administration, science and technology, defense combats, oratory, law, sports and every other aspect of life where men dominated. Roads were filled with slogans by women towards gender equality. The men who dominated felt the pinch. Their domain was pierced. They realised only to yield, though marginally. Women conquered. They became Presidents, vice presidents, Prime ministers, Nobel laureates, Space scientists, legal luminaries, and astronauts and challenged the other coveted positions that men occupied. Women in a few instances outclassed the men folk. The barriers were broken.

Women proved that they were the best all-rounders. They could not only manage the realms of the households but also the nature of the jobs they held. They excelled in fields dominated by men. Slowly but steadily women dethroned men in all walks of life. Women became successful entrepreneurs. The highly reputed political thrones are now bestowing more and more women. From footpath vendors to the heads of the states the beaming ones are women. They proved that they were no longer showpieces or figureheads.

An amazing aspect that nature has blessed women is that they and only they can carry, care and mould the budding men from the womb, which art and skill we men may not master at all. In a country like India, if the husband dies, the wife manages the family as she is not supposed to marry again. There may be exceptions. But this is not true with men. If the wife dies, the husband marries again. He becomes a parasite.

In Britain, the Queen rules. Madam Curie won the Nobel Prize twice. Prince Diana earned more accolades. Jhansi Lakshmibai, Rani Chennamma of Kittur and the like, fought the British fiercely. The President of India is a woman. Many countries had and have women at the helm of affairs. Look at the statistics of a few countries. Women are shining and shining bright. The gender inequality is dwindling.

There is a saying, I quote,

“Behind every successful man, there is a WOMAN”

I unquote.

Let’s rephrase it as

“Besides every successful Man, there is a successful woman.”

Mention any activity in which men excelled. Women prove that they can challenge.

Is this not sufficient to nod the heads in favour of women’s superiority?

Men may say with a chilling voice ‘Nay’. They pretend. They do not wish to be offended. Their heart applauds. But their egotistic mind negates.

The world will collapse one day, without a woman. The concept of ‘To breed and to satisfy men’s greed’ is fading. She is not just a ‘baby boomer’. Her priorities have changed.

The United Nations Organization has a separate cell to foster GENDER EQUALITY. They aim to achieve it by 2030.

Men be aware, awake and alert. The women conquerors are after you.

I leave it to the readers. The question is still open. Challenge it if you wish.
