Control your anger


A sage lived with his family in a forest.

The sage’s name is Jamadhagni, his wife’s name is Vasuki and he had four sons. The fourth son’s name is Parasurama.

Sage Jamadhagni used to teach Vedas and Sastras to a number of disciples. All the children will stay there and study in that Gurukulam. (That is like boarding school) Even the princes also will stay and study along with other children.  Whether the teacher or king, they will not think about ups and down. All were treated same. Parasurama also one of Jamadhagni's disciples in that Gurukulam. Parasurama was being very smart, attentive and diligently studding student. Very soon he learnt all the Vedas and shastras taught by his father. Parasurama was extremely obedient son to his father. But he had a very wroth natured man

Vasuki the sage Jamdagni’s wife, she was very devoted to her husband. She will take great care to all the students like her own children in the Gurukulam.  She won't show any partiality between her sons and the students. She was very kind hearted women. Every day early in the morning she used to go to the river near by their hermitage, she will have bath in that river, and after her bath she would make an earthen pot from the wet sand and fetch water in the same pot for sage's puja. (Which means every day she used to make a pitcher in wet sand, and she will be fetching water in that same pitcher). It was her regular practice.

One day after her bath, when she was making the pot, at that time a 'Gandharva' (celestial beings) who passed over her head on the sky. She saw his mirrored appearance in the river water, and just for a moment she amazed by his handsome appearance. (in the ancient days a lady if she just sees and appreciate others except her husband, it will be considered that lady is dishonest to her husband.) As the result, however much she tried, could not make the pot. It broke every time she shaped it. she could not bring water for her husband's puja. Because of this reason Vasuki was very afraid to go home, so she stood on there itself. Jamadagni was waiting for water to do perform puja, but she did not bring water for puja. Sage Jamadagni sensed this through his mental powers and rose angry, and wanting to punish her.  So, he called his elder sons each one, and he talked about his wife's action and ordered to kill her. But they refused to do this sin action. So, finally he told Parasurama about his wife's action and ordered to cut off her head and kill his elder sons. As soon as he heard the news from his father, he rosed very angry on his mother and his brothers, so, he immediately killed his mother and his brothers as his father's word.

See how anger was work?  Anger does not think any good thing that has happened before and it won’t think any sympathy. When anger arises, it will destroy everything. That is why the great  scholars said about angry, the anger nature is a morally ambiguous emotion, it is a dangerous force, it can destroy the relationships, overturn social order, and it will destroy the universe itself.  The doctor’s opinion is if one has angry character his blood pressure level will be rise, and will get the dangerous heart attack. Even though Parasurama is one of Vishnu's Incarnation, he had angry, and killing tendency as an animal. So, he is an incomplete incarnation in the evolution.

So, this incarnation, is giving warning to the people, angry nature is very bad and also cruel nature to a man. If a man has this kind of cruel nature, his own conscience itself will kill him. So angry is very dangerous and powerful weapon. So, all the human beings should avoid Angry.

This story is based on the Tamil poet Avvaiyar's Aatthichoodi. This is the second song “Aaruvathu sinam"

In the winter season the sunlight will be less, it is universal canon. During this season all plants and trees will be losing their color and leaves, yet the pine trees are greener than other trees and they won’t lose their leaves and color in all four seasons.
