१ गुणांचा गौरव
About an artist in Greece who, being a slave, risks execution if discovered creating art.
................................................................................................
................................................................................................
Concepts of charity and selflessness taken to this extreme are horrifying; on the other hand, these ancient legends are evidence of knowledge of transplants common to ancient Indian medicine system, Aayurveda.
................................................................................................
................................................................................................
Heart rending on one hand and extremely infuriating on other, this story very like that of the later great classic film Do Bigha Zameen, except for the woman striving alone as a widow with children.
................................................................................................
................................................................................................
Did Rajshri Productions make a film based on this, circa '60s or so? With Bhaaratbhushan in the role of the sailor who returned years later? Taqdeer, 1967?
................................................................................................
................................................................................................
Story of British occupation of India told as a parable about a virtuous mother in a village.
................................................................................................
................................................................................................
When the she goat runs for freedom, she's certain to be devoured by a wolf, is the lesson in short. It isn't clear why it had to be a female goat, unless the lesson is pointed exclusively at females. As per the note in the book, the story is by Dr Zakir Hussain, and included here with stories told by Sane Guruji because "he" who wrote the note liked it. Was that Sane Guruji, is unclear.
................................................................................................
................................................................................................
Heart rending story of a child who takes his mother's scolding to heart, to death.
................................................................................................
................................................................................................
Story made up to depict congress as exclusively reasonable, it's fraud has been exposed over decades since independence, if not before.
Reading at his, one risks losing love and respect for the author, which one may hsve had due to his most famous work, biographical about his mother. This story is so filled with hatred for the majority of India, and so fraudulent in pretending to balance the two sides!
................................................................................................
................................................................................................
When one meets someone from a known to have been dangerous community, does one do wrong in being cautious, or worse, have fear?
Sane Guruji preaches it's wrong when so expressed by a Hindu towards a Muslim, which reminds one of a young German one met an route to Paris from Germany, who complained that when she met Jews they were friendly but only until they discovered she was German; she wasn't even born during the Nazi era, she said, expecting us to agree and comment about how they behaved badly. She subsequently proceeded to point out of the window at French countryside, commenting about how France had empty land while Germany was so crowded and short of land!
In a recent film, a tourist guide in Himaalayan heights was shown kneeling face to face when he finally saw a Himaalayan leopard, and communing for several minutes.
Would Sane Guruji still question the fear if it were expressed by the other side, against his own relatives? Judging by the hatred he expressed profusely in the previous story, no, one may bet he'd blame his own relatives; official Gandhian doctrine, followed faithfully by congress ever since, except the blame is always with majority of India according to congress, or with smaller minorities, never with those that inherit the mantle of invaders and occupying colonial rulers of last millennium and half.
This is taken to extreme when recent murders of holy men by a mob are pushed under the rug with the excuse of a misunderstanding, which isn't possible, since they were garbed in robes of Hindu monks. But murder of a foreigner of pale visage, by a lone guy, is blamed on the whole Hindu society, excepting those who are ashamed thereof, of course; this is so even when the said foreigner was indulging in illegal activities, secretly, and deliberately so as far as both went, not unknowingly. He, like hundreds of his ilk, had arrived knowing his intended activities were illegal, and was conducting them at night in forests, while pretending he was indulging in charity by using that as a cover.

This story has always been around as far as one can recall, and it's unclear if he wrote it or found it somewhere. About a mother's love for her progeny surviving the ghastly end wrought on to her existence by a son out to satisfy the demand of a lover, it simultaneously demonises young females in a ghastly way. Abrahmic origin?
................................................................................................
................................................................................................
True fragrance in a gift is from heartfelt emotion, over and above perfume ascending it.
................................................................................................
................................................................................................
When justice is lost, poor and innocent may suffer, but truth eventually comes to light, except it might be too late.
................................................................................................

................................................................................................
................................................................................................

................................................................................................
................................................................................................

The parrot who would rather starve to death than abandon the tree that fed him.
................................................................................................
................................................................................................
Iron cuts stone, fire melts iron, .... strength is of spirit that gives in such way the left hand knows not what the right hand gives.
................................................................................................
................................................................................................
About a smart king who manages to tell real flowers from artificial ones at a distance. This story might sound imaginary until one has seen the museum at Harvard exhibiting wax flowers.
