Padma-asana

Padma or lotus is the symbol of purity. Its seeds sprout in the dark and murky bottom of a pond while the beautiful flowers bloom above the surface, unspoiled by the muddy water. The lotus also inspires Yoga, which cleanses your mind, body and soul. While some consider it a very spiritual experience, everybody agrees itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly incredible. www.incredibleindia.org contactus@incredibleindia.org

Hon’ble Mr. Narendra Modi, A sea of yoga mats covered Rajpath. http://www.ndtv.com/photos/news/top-10-pm-modi-performs-yoga-with-thousands-at-delhisrajpath-20000#photo-256714

From the Ambassadorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk: Dear Friends, This is my last message to you before I depart Cambodia for my next posting. It has been an excellent three years communicating with you and I shall carry fond memories of my time here in Cambodia. In this issue we focus on Yoga, which is already widely prevalent in Cambodia and which, hopefully, will become much more widespread after the highly successful holding of the International Day of Yoga on June 21, 2015. The proof of the success of International Day of Yoga was when the Government of Cambodia announced that it is setting up a Yoga Federation to better coordinate and to set standards for practice of Yoga in Cambodia. Given that the youth make up more than 70 per cent of the population in Cambodia, it is heartening to see how well they are accepting Yoga as a means for better health as well as for reducing stress and tension in their lives. This issue will also give an overview of the North-East of India which is our gateway to this region and which will soon only be driving distance from Cambodia. I foresee greater interaction between NorthEast of India and people of Cambodia in the near future, particularly as there are many cultural similarities between these two regions. In the past three years, I have witnessed increased economic and commercial interaction between both countries. This issue highlights some of the more successful investment and economic cooperation that have taken place between the two countries in the past few years. I wish the readers of India Digest the four blessings of Buddha and wish them all success in the future.

Vipar Auto, distributors for Bajaj Motorcycles in Cambodia

Till 2011, Cambodia motorcycle market was dominated by Japanese brands like Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki with fierce loyalty amongst Cambodians. The motorcycle market mostly comprised of biker enthusiasts for 400cc and above. But this market entirely depended on used motorcycle market, due to Cambodia’s proximity with highly developed neighbors like Thailand and Malaysia. In 2011, Vipar Auto established its office in Cambodia and launched the Pulsar Brand of Motorcycles. Bajaj Pulsar literally created the male biking culture amongst young teens in 135cc and 200cc segment and has sold over 2200 street motorcycles in its first year of operations resulting in exports to Cambodia to over 6000 units till 2014. It is important to note that in the mass market Cambodians preferred the step normal 50cc to 120 cc moto’s with no fuel tank in the centre, due it’s multi tasking abilities which doubles up as work horse, ride to work, unisexual appeal. Cambodians were unaware of Indian brand like Bajaj or Pulsar, and quality benchmarks were unknown. Pulsar positioned it’s bike as male rider’s bike with 360 degree communication program on above the line and below line activities like roadshows, advertising, launching showroom, social network page. Pulsar’s edgy design, unique chassis, and brand name instantly appealed to Cambodians, some even perceived it to be Italian or Japanese brand. Not taking success to it’s head Vipar Auto has further invested in a $4 million assembly plant to consolidate

it’s position in Cambodia. It is also expanding Bajaj’s product portfolio, into Boxer brand of workhorse motorcyle, LPG powered three wheelers.There are 40 units currently undergoing market feasibility studies. Vipar Auto also provides financing plans to customers with low down payment and best in class interest rates. The Pulsar Power Club meet events are held every few weeks, where food / drink and t-shirts are sponsored by Vipar Auto.

Fist Indian Education Fair In Cambodia Students from Cambodia were able to learn about a host of educational opportunities at the First India Education fair hosted by Sape Events & Media Pvt Ltd a leading education fair organizer of South EastAsia in association with Indian Embassy, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The Fair was inaugurated by H.E. Samedy Sivathana Under Secretary, Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport, Royal Government of Cambodia and H.E Mr. Dinesh K. Patnaik, Ambassador of India to Cambodia. India has always been the most sought-after education destination for foreign students. The trend rose further after the advancement in the academic system with the initiation of formal education several decades ago. There has been enormous progress in the Indian education system in the last two decades, establishing itself as a leading education hub in Asia. Both the government and the private sector have made huge investments in research, laying emphasis on educated workforce with a commitment to lifelong learning. India leads the world in production of world-class Information Technology (IT) and management professionals, having the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second largest education network. Colleges like National Institute of Technology (NIT) and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) are considered among the best engineering institutes in the world. Besides expensive private colleges and universities, there are also relatively low-cost public universities for the low-income group. India is a very diverse country and its people and their culture vary with the change of states. It also attracts thousands of students across the globe providing opportunity to study in a multicultural classroom. Interacting with the people from different cultures teaches tolerance, acceptance of diversity and helps to build close cultural connections which consequently helps in promoting teamwork and confidence. A world class education system with strong government monitoring makes India a popular destination for foreign students pursuing higher education. The first India Education fair provided Cambodian students the opportunity to explore and evaluate courses ranging from academics, professional and vocational ones. The fair offer students with the opportunity to directly connect with a wide range of undergraduate, graduate and professional institute, exhibitors from India all under one roof. Students ask

questions about how to apply, what to look for in a programme, and how to find the programme that matches their interests. They were able to learn about programme requirements, compare programmes to find the one that meet their requirements and gather materials on a wide range of options. For many students, a visit to the India Education Fair marked a new phase in their life. This is where they made their decisions not only on the choice of their program, but also the education institutions to help them build their future. For others education Fair was a place for them to gather information to make an informed choice for their educational needs.

Yoga Makes Us Healthy and Releases Stress His Excellency Dr. SOK An, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister in charge of the Office of the Council of Ministers stated that simple but regular exercise can make us healthy and reduce stress. The statement was made on the occasion of attending the Opening of “An Interaction with His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on Promoting Ethics in Business, Personal Growth and Happy Stress Free Living and Launch of the International Yoga Day” at Koh Pich Hall Phnom Penh on 26 March 2015. DPM Sok An highly appreciated the art of living foundation, especially His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar who initiated this event allowing students and public to participate. He stressed that “Given their rich content and overarching goals, I think that the programs offered by the Art of Living are critically important for the people of Cambodia and the world alike, especially in the context of today’s society, characterized by a rapid pace and a primary emphasis on performance, competition and perfection.”

awareness and self-discipline are crucial. Amongst the many approaches, a simple, but regular exercise has been proven to be effective one to improve one’s health, in general, and to reduce stress, in particular”, he continued. “There are various kinds of exercises you can do, but I personally like swimming. To combat stress, people may turn to meditation or other mental stress reduction tools like yoga. Yoga became popular as a system of physical exercise, but it also has a meditative and spiritual core. Yoga is an ancient Indian philosophy that dates back thousands of years. It was designed as a path to spiritual enlightenment, but in modern times, the physical aspects of yoga have found huge popularity as a gentle form of exercise and stress management” he added. Art of Living Organization in Cambodia is originated from India. His Holiness founded the Art of Living Foundation as a non-profit organization promoting yoga to help people reduce stress. Exercise including mediation of Art of Living is recognized by many countries. Until now there are 153 countries including Cambodia, who practice yoga.

“I believe that individuals basically can take a proactive approach to improving their health, for example, by adopting a proper diet and exercises. While there are various ways to improving health, one’s

Let us adopt Brand Yoga

Yoga is practiced across the world today. With its roots in Indian mythology and scriptures, yoga is incorporated in the lives of every race and society of the modern world. Literature on yoga is available in every language and forms an integral part of the global health and wellness industry. I start my journey into exploring Yoga, at Bangkok’s heritage hotel Nai Lert Park that embodies the philosophy of its founder, Nai Lert, on environment, nature and conservation. The hotel’s managing director Naphaporn Bodiratnangkura (Lek) is Lert’s great granddaughter - a disciplined yoga practitioner with a chain of yoga studios in Bangkok. As Lek shares her photographs performing advanced yoga asanas, I can see the face of modern yoga emerging. The secret to her positive outlook is good food, good sleep and a daily dose of yoga. Little wonder the worldwide business of yoga is, at present, valued at $27 billion ( .1.62 crore) worldwide and can be divided into three Ps of yoga: Practice, Publishing and Products. Practice being the core driver, Publishing the knowledge driver and Products the business driver. All three are interdependent and necessary to form a strong yoga environment. Good examples for each would be Bikram Yoga with over 5,000 yoga studios around the world for Practice; Yoga journal, a US-based magazine since 1975 that boasts a readership of 1.3 million for Publishing, and Lulu Lemon, a yoga apparel store chain with revenues of over US$ 1.3 billion for Products. To develop a strong yoga brand, you need the right environment, one that protects the business of yoga. The core of yoga is non-propriety with its origin thousands of years ago but intellectual property protection is a must for modern-day Brand Yoga. One reason yoga has developed a world footprint is its ability to change with time, region and society. Yoga is also flexible, not only in the asanas but in the environment. The present-day business environment demands innovation, research and product development in yoga to be protected under its copyright laws. Only then will the laws of business bear fruit to Brand Yoga. Brand Yoga is a gift the world has only previewed. It has immense potential for leading the wellness and health industry, to employ thousands to achieve a more content world. But beware of the utopic dream that yoga is to be only practised as it was in the past and that any change would dilute it. Yoga has evolved and that evolution has created its mass following. Any rigidity would stunt its growth. Let’s embrace the current brand and business environment to create Brand Yoga in the 21st century.

India: From “Looking East” to “Acting East” After coming into power last May, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reshaped and emboldened India’s foreign policy to become more proactive and pragmatic. Modi’s ambition is for India to become a pillar providing peace, security, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region. India’s bilateral relations with all major powers have been advancing since, particularly with the US, China, and Japan. Bilateral partnerships with Southeast Asian countries have gained new momentum. At the India-Asean Summit last November, Modi revamped India’s “Look East Policy” to “Act East Policy”. India has shown stronger interest and commitment in deepening economic relations and building closer strategic and security ties with Southeast Asia. “Asean lies at the core of India’s Act East Policy and at the center of our dream of an Asian century,” Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said last month at the Delhi Dialogue VII. “Since the launch of our Look East Policy in the early 1990s, we have matured from being Sectoral Dialogue Partners to being Strategic Partners.” Road and Port Links between India and Asean Infrastructure developments and links between India and mainland Southeast Asia have improved, particularly under the framework of the Mekong-India Economic Corridor and India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway. In addition, India financed and constructed the $120 million Sittwe Port in Myanmar as part of the Kaladan Multi-modal Transit Transport network. Economic Cooperation and “Made in India” Campaign Deepening regional economic integration and connectivity between India and Asean serves India’s economic development strategy and its trade promotion policy. The “Made in India” strategy is the core economic policy initiated by Modi. Asean, with its population of more than 600 million and a total GDP hovering around $3 trillion, is a potential market for Indian products and services. In 2014, bilateral trade volume was around $80 billion. It is expected to reach $100 billion this year, and $200 billion by 2022. Investment flows between India and Asean have increased over the years. Asean investments in India over the last eight years amount to $27.9 billion while Indian investments in Asean reached $32.4 billion.

Freedom of the Seas India proactively promotes a maritime doctrine called “Indo-Pacific Security.” Here India intends to expand its maritime power in both the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Strengthening security and strategic ties with Japan, US, Australia, and Asean underline this new doctrine. Maritime security cooperation is a core element in building strategic partnerships between India and Asean. India intends to play a more active role, through both bilateral and multilateral dialogues and mechanisms, to maintain freedom of navigation in both the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Regarding India’s position in the South China Sea, Shri Anil Wadhwa, Secretary of India’s Ministry of External Affairs, stated last year: “Our position has always been that India stands for freedom of navigation on the high seas. We would like to ensure that all countries in the region adhere to the international conventions on the Law of the Sea in this issue.” Ways Forward Under the current leadership, India has shown greater commitment to engage Southeast Asia and the Asia Pacific. Bilateral ties with Asean constitutes significant factors in realizing India’s regional power projection guided by the Indo Pacific doctrine. India and Asean need to work together to further deepen their strategic partnership. Meanwhile, they should also consider working together to realize the United Nations Development Goals focusing on eradicating poverty, addressing inequality, tackling climate change, achieving a more sustainable lifestyle, building strong, inclusive and resilient economies, and promoting peaceful societies and strong institutions.

Secrets of seven sisters Each of the seven states in North East India has its distinct culinary history and ways of cooking but the underlying principles remain the same- organic, wholesome and uncomplicated Text: Purabi Shridhar

Hot Chicken and Mushroom Steamed With Bamboo Shoot from Arunachal Pradesh

Cooking in all seven North East states - Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura - is seasonal. What is available during the seasons is what you find on the dining tables. And what is left over from the prevailing season is preserved in most states. The core culinary secret, if you can call it that, is waste not; want not. If anything is edible in the North East, it is so in entirety. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no part that is wasted â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from roots, stems, leaves, buds, flowers of plants to everything of fish, fowl or cattle barring the waste, hooves, horns, scales and feathers.

North East Cuisine is not exotic; it is simple, slow cooking minimum use of dried spices, more use of fresh herbs, less oil. Top dishes from each state

On cursory look, the seven North East states, popularly known as the Seven Sisters, might seem like just any other family, although quite different from the other “mainstream” Indian families in terms of physicality, maybe personality and certainly lifestyle ... But a closer look will reveal that this family is truly Indian in its basic culinary essence - grow, produce, hunt and forage the available resources, live with and respect nature and above all, don’t try to better or tamper too much with nature when it comes to food ingredients. Exotic is one term that is regularly heard when it comes to the North East - its region, its people and its food. The term, mostly, is intended to connote the ‘unknown’ and not the unusual. The application is totally wrong when it comes to food habits of the region. It is not exotic; it is simple, slow cooking, minimum use of dried spices, more use of fresh herbs, less oil - Mizoram and Nagaland are states which I suspect are not the favourites of cooking oil producers. It would be incorrect to lump all North East cuisine as one. Each state has a distinct and individual culinary history and ways of cooking. And sometimes each state has its diverse way of producing the same dish with the same ingredients as in Nagaland where different tribes - 16 major and several sub tribes - do. Or in Meghalaya where there are evident nuanced differences in Khasi and Jaintia cooking. The pork dish Doh Khleh from Meghalaya and the Pork Bhata from Tripura might look somewhat similar, but the taste tells the subtle difference. It is the same with every sister state.

Secrets of seven sisters

Putting aside physical boundaries and the inherent individualism, there are core principles tying North East cuisine together. It is at heart about balanced diets and simplicity. The region experiences five distinct seasons - spring, summer, monsoon, autumn and winter. As the seasons progress so does the availability and usage of produces. In spring when the cold begins to recede the diet changes accordingly; in summer when temperatures begin to ascend to quite a high in the plains the dishes on the dining table undergo another change - in Assam the alkali rich Tenga Mas (sour fish) and Khar (enriched with the natural bio-antacid Khar, a liquid made by mixing the ash obtained by dry roasting the peel of Bhim Kol, seeded banana or bark of banana plant with water) help maintain the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s mineral balance and temperature. Summer is also when there is plentiful of salads passed around with organic produce like tomato, fitweed and greens. During monsoon, when the downpour can be endless, the dietary habits change likewise. Autumn is when the states abound with rich harvest and produce resulting from the rains, when the tinge of russet begins to peep out from the verdant greenery around and fruit baskets overflow. During winter, quite acute in hill states, it is body-warming food from the fatladen duck in Assam to the pungent black sesame-based Tungrymbai in Meghalaya redolent with local ginger, Makhir. In Nagaland, the rich smoked pork rib is a great antidote to the cold as is the sweatinducing mouth-burning Naga chilli, Raja Mirch. In Tripura, the hot soup with dried fish Chakhwi Twi, slur ped by itself or with hot steamed rice, is guaranteed to drive away all colds and aches. The festive seasons and the fares laid out best demonstrate what North East cuisine is all about - simple, healthy and delightful.

In spring when the cold begins to recede the diet changes accordingly; in summer the dishes on the table another change.

Secrets of seven sisters

VEGETARIAN FAVOURITE Auckland-based Baruk Feddabonn is of mixed North Eastern parentage. Bai, an all-time favourite stew-like Mizo dish, is what reminds him most strongly of home. ‘The aroma of Bai being cooked still takes me back to the sunset hour in Shillong, with Apu (grandfather) getting ready for evening church as we set the table for dinner.” Bai is a combination of random vegetables, water and an agent like fermented soya bean to pep up the dish. It is eaten hot with a nee meal and other dishes. The ingredients need not always be cauliflower, it can be any vegetable and greens and even fresh bamboo shoots. Bai can be had by itself, too, as a simple one-dish meal. The Bai liquid can be stored overnight and drank the next day, a perfect refresher for hot Indian summer.

Like all food, North East India food too is an acquired taste. More so because the taste scale can range from the subtle, pleasant, chilli hot to the overpowering, the pungent and to the what-on-earth-is this! While the Bhoot jalokia (literally Ghost Chilli) has acquired global fame, there are ingredients still unknown that take a whole lot of getting used to, ranging from fresh and dried bamboo shoots, dried meat, preserved greens to dried fish. One ingredient that can assault the olfactory is what the Khasis call Tung Tap and the Garos Nakhom in Meghalaya. It is a small scaly fish, salted and preserved whole. The smell it acquires is so intense, and as some may say offensive, that hours after it has been cooked or roasted it stays not just in the kitchen but travels quite a distance too!

Masters of the universe The world’s largest high-altitude and second largest gamma ray telescope, installed in Hanle region of Ladakh, offers a unique insight into the extreme phenomena of the universe

The telescope in making at Electronics Corporation of India Ltd. Hyderabad

Indian scientists have something else to cheer about - the country has indigenously developed the world’s largest high-altitude and second-largest gamma ray telescope. The giant 45 m high and 180 tonne telescope will enable scientists to closely study exotic objects like supernova remnants, active galactic nuclei and pulsars; offering a unique insight into extreme phenomena of the universe. It will help scientists gain

vital information on the universe’s origin and about cosmic rays that bombard space. At present, the world’s largest gamma ray telescope with a diameter of 28 m, built by a consortium of European nations, is operational in Namibia. The 45 crore mammoth Indian gamma ray telescope, installed in Hanle region of Ladakh, has been built indigenously

Masters of the universe

by Electronics Corporation of India Ltd in Hyderabad with designs supplied by Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and will be operational by early 2016. Once complete, the Major Atmospheric Cherenkov Experiment (MACE) will be the fourth gamma ray telescopes globally. The other two gamma ray telescopes that are in Spain and the US. The telescope, fitted with over 1,300 specialised diamond-turned mirrors, can capture gamma rays that hit the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s atmosphere from space more than 100 million light years away. These rays, in turn, are captured by a 1088-pixel camera located at the structureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tip to enable Indian scientists to study supernova rays, pulsar energy flashes and other unidentified sources of energy in space. The diamond-turned mirrors have been developed in India for the first time and will prove beneficial in strategic applications for the defense and space sectors. Additionally, the high resolution camera will also help in the healthcare sector. The MACE Telescope consists of a large tessellated light collector of 356 sq m, made up of 356 indigenously manufactured mirror panels. A high resolution-imaging camera weighing about 1,200 kilos for detection and characterisation of the atmospheric Cherenkov events forms the focal plane instrument of the telescope. The telescope is supported on six wheels that move on a 27m diameter track. It has an integrated imaging camera that contains 1,088 photo multiplier based pixels and all signal processing and data acquisition electronics. The camera communicates the acquired data to the computer system in the control room via optical fiber. Key features of the telescope include its safe and secure operation remotely from anywhere in the world. With this, India will join the elite scientific community working in the field of gamma ray study. The structure can operate in winds of up to 30 kmph and retain its structural integrity in winds of up to 150 kmph. Courtesy: India Perspectives www.indiaperspectives.in March-April 2015

Indo-Cambodian Relationship Through Buddhism

Prof Baidyanath Labh, Head, Dept. of Buddhist Studies, University of Jammu, in his keynote address pointed out that historically the Buddha lived, preached and propagated his teachings during the 6th century BCE in India—especially in the northern part; which because of its delivery in the then lingua franca—Pali, with its very pragmatic approach towards day to day problems of life, discarded the elements of blind faith or conviction and superstition. He said that he looks at Buddhism as the Indian gift to the entire world including Cambodia, which has acted as the cementing force between Santana and Buddhist traditions.

H.E. Mr Dinesh K. Patnaik, Ambassador during the Seminar

Welcome address by Venerable Prof. Khy Sovanratana, Vice Rector,PSRB University, Phnom Penh

H.E. Mr Dinesh K. Patnaik, Ambassador, in his address highlighted that Buddhism, which originated in India, has disappeared from its land of birth, but has amazingly survived in Cambodia and today 97% of Cambodians are practicing Buddhists. He added that this seminar on “Indo-Cambodian Relationship through Buddhism” provides a platform for the international community of scholars to discuss the reasons behind the disappearance of Buddhism from India, the place of its birth, along with its continuing survival in Cambodia. He also urged the assembly of intellectuals, scholars and practicing Buddhists to create a roadmap for the active role of Buddhism in resolving of conflicts and the promotion of peace in the world.

an international conference under the theme: “Indo-Cambodian Relationship through Buddhism” with the Indian Embassy in Phnom Penh and Indian Council for Cultural Relation (ICCR), Government of India.

Ven. Prof Khy Suvanratana in his report said that today Preah Sihanoukraja University felt greatly honoured and privileged for the opportunity to jointly organize

Padamshree Sachidanand Sahai in his remarks at the conclusion of academic sessions said that India could learn a lot from the way Cambodians have kept the flame of Buddha’s teaching alive in dayto-day life, while the land of Buddha had forgotten the message of the great humanist. He further added that there was an urgent need to open Cambodian monasteries in different parts of India. This would not only provide opportunity for Indian people to have an intimate understanding of Buddhism as practiced in Cambodia, but also to give much needed visibility to its unique cultural and religious identity.

The Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs (MOIA) endeavors to further strengthen the bond with the Indian Diaspora, and create an enabling environment, in which Overseas Indians engage with, and benefit from, the opportunities in a rapidly developing India. To achieve this objective, MOIA has set up the Overseas Indians Facilitation Centre (OIFC) as the economic engagement arm of the MOIA. OIFC was established in 2007, as a Public Private Partnership between MOIA and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). OIFC provides the following services: a. Through its portal, OIFC provides updated information on India, emerging sectors, projects from State Governments open for investment. OIFC provides information on matters of economic engagement to Overseas Indians, through a portal www.oifc.in, query addressal (supported by its knowledge partners & domain experts), publications and webinars.

Mahabharata

ARJUNA SALVAGES FIVE NYMPHS. 1► From Manipur, Arjuna travelled southwards along the sea-coast. This coastal belt was beset with hermitages of sages and saints. Arjuna spent his time in their company hearing their sermons and holding discourses with them. During these discourses, he came to know of five pools that were full of the backwaters of the sea. These pools had been once very important as being holy where people bathed with deep devotion. But now even saints feared to go near them. The reason was that each of the pools was the abode of a ferocious crocodile. Whoever happened to go to any of there pools, could never come back as he was devoured by the crocodile at once.

4► “ My name is Varga and I’ m a nymph of Lord Kubera’s court. I lived in the Nandanavana (pleasure-garden) there. My four other friends are also crocodiles like me. They are Saurabha, Samichi, Lata and Budbuda.” 5► “How did you turn into crocodiles from nymphs ?” questioned Arjuna in wonder and with curiosity. 6► One day we were going from our garden to Lord Kubra’s palace. We met a Brahmana on the way. He was extremely handsome and a great scholar too. He was busy in meditation when we, out of mischief, chose to disturb him by virtue of our beauty.”

2► Arjuna went to one of the pools and walked fearlessly into it. Ulupi’s boon was with him ; so when the crocodile attacked him, he caught its tail, dragged it out of the pool and flung it down on the ground. In a flash, it changed into a heavenly nymph of matchless charm.

7► “As Soon as we went near the Brahmana, he opened his eyes. We started smiling with a view to trapping him in the net of our charm. But he had a marvellous control over himself. He got angry and uttered a curse on us . We got to the earth and became crocodiles for one hundred years.”

3► Struck with nymph’s beauty, Arjuna asked her, “Who are you and what is the secret behind your emerging from the body of a crocodile ?’’

8► When we felt sorry and ask for the Brahmana’s pardon, he remarked, “A virtuous warrior will fearlessly drag you out of the water and fling you on the

Mahabharata

ground one by one. Then you wiII get to your original forms. So, O Valiant Young Man! salvage my four friends as well.” 9► Arjuna agreed and complied with Varga’s question. All the five nymphs felt highly delighted. Thanking Arjuna, they depart to Nandanavana.

CHAPTER 17

ARJUNA WEDS SUBHADRA 10► Journeying along the west coast, Arjuna, came to a holy place, named, Gokanza, in Malabar. It believed to be associated with Lord Shiva. From Gokarna, Arjuna proceeded northward along the seacoast and soon entered the Prabhasa Kshetra (a holy region in the westernmost area of India). 11► Informed by his spies, Lord Krishna got the news of Arjuna’s arrival in Prabhasa. So, he went in a chariot to receive him. When they met, they talked over several matters at length. Then they visited the Raivatak Mountain and stayed there for a night. 12► Next morning, both of them made for Dwarka. Arjuna stayed there for a number of days as a royal guest of Lord Krishna. During the course of his stay Arjuna chanced to see Subhadra, Balarama’s real sister. She as an extremely charming princess and Arjuna fell in love with her at the very first sight. Krishna came to get wind of this fact. Smiling in his sleeves,

he said “Arjuna! you seem to be in the trap of some beauty. By the way she is my sister Subhadra.” 13► Feeling quite encouraged, Arjuna lost no time to say, “Then I can ask you to get me married to her.” 14► “A kashtriya never begs to win his lady-love. Either he wins her hand in a swayamvara or carries her away by force,” replied Krishna. 15► It was a clear-cut hint for Arjuna as to what he should do. So, he chalked out a plan. At the same time, he sent a messenger to Indraprastha to seek permission of King Yudhishthira . 16► Then Arjuna borrowed Lord Krishna’s chariot on the pretence of going into the forest for game. He had come to know that Subhadra had gone for worship in a temple on the Raivatak Mountain. So, he drove the chariot in that very direction. 17► When Subhadra was returning to the palace, Arjuna forcibly lifted her onto the chariot and drove away towards Indraprastha. Seeing this, Subhadra’s body-guards tried to prevent Arjuna. But when they couldn’t, they rushed to the palace and informed Balarama of what had happened. So, Balarama collected an army to chase and chastise Arjuna. After all it was the question of the honour of the royal house of the Yadavas.
