I was really confused today with life.. I could not make any sense out of it. I remember the doings of Naranathu Bhranthan which I read from a book in Malayalam, “Aithihyamaala”. My appa had bought that book during one of his travels, along with another book., “kathasaritsaagar”. In Aithihyamaala(garland of myths) there were stories about 12 children of Pandit Vararuchi. The most impressive one is that of Naranathu Bhranthan. Historically, he is considered a “Siddha”(a realized person), but the name Naranathu Bhranthan, literally meant the Mad person of Naranathu(place).
His routine.. In the morning, after waking up, he used to push a huge boulder up a steep hill. He used put a lot of effort in taking the boulder up mountain and by evening he will manage to take it on top of the hill. Once its on top of the hill, he wont waste a moment in pushing it down and laugh out loudly, while it rolls down. No wonder people used to call him mad and used to laugh out loudly. But little did they know, that Naranathu Bhranthan was laughing at them.
People still laugh at Naranathu Bhranthans.
Another story of Naranathu Bharanthan soon
