Bhagavan and the little wild boar

The cubses and Spotty were playing near Bhagavan when they thought it would be fun to be elephants.



"Om Om Om, let us be elefinks!" they said together. This time, it worked at once, for all of them.



After a while Bhagavan's attendent hinted with his eyes (not letting Bhagavan see) that it was time for Bhagavan to have a little rest, so they wandered off in search of adventure. In a clearing they came upon a number of other elephants who welcomed them. Ganesha was there too.



On their way home they heard a sad little cry coming from a ferny area. They investigated and found a little wild boar, badly hurt, lying on his side, unable to get up.



Just as they were trying to figure out how to get the little boar to Bhagavan, one of the big elephants they had met up with earlier came along and offered to carry the baby to Bhagavan. The big elephant bent low and the elephant-changers nestled the baby boar between his ears. The big elephant held his ears high so the baby could not roll off.



They set the baby on some soft straw at Bhagavan's Feet.



Immediately the little boar stopped crying. There was a little silence. Then they heard the wild baby boar ask in an amazed voice, "Am I in Heaven?"

"Yes," said Arunacub. "This is the Heaven of Bhagavan's Feet."

Soon the little boar was up on his feet again. All traces of his wound were gone. He squealed with happiness and his little sisters heard him and rushed to greet him.



"Come and meet the Lord," said the baby boar, delighted his sisters had shown up for the happiest time of his life.

Spotty just loved this post. So offen he says he has surrendered some pain or ache to Bhagavan, and it just vanishd.

I too sometimes put a little blessed vibhuti on my tongue for healing.

Did you give the boars a few idlis before they left ? they sortanly don't look like "wild" boars, unless thats just a name. they look really nice and sweet.

They haven't left! Omcub is just serving them some steaming idlies right now. They were having so much fun they would not eat till now. Their official name is "wild boars" but the only wildness we have seen from them since they arrived at Bhagavan's Feet is wild joy.
