THE KAILASH FAMILY

Rudra loved all the birds and beasts that came to visit the mountains from the forests at their baseline. They were in absolute contrast to the people He had known in the city. Always natural, always spontaneous, always unabashed in their play, unlike the contrived displays in speech and gestures in the mannerisms of society. These beasts were exactly the kind of beings that would be termed ‘Uncouth’, He thought to Himself, but smiled because His own spirit resonated with them. “This is the way to be; in the lap of Nature itself, where one is natural,” He thought.The animals were very few, wild, beautiful and tenacious. Thinner, but much stronger than their cousins back in the forest, they shared the same quality of being unintrusive. It was here in their midst, atop snowy rocks that Rudra decided to meditate for hours each morning. They too, watched Him with widened eyes just like the forest friends. Sometimes it seemed they were just highly attained rishis in disguise!
