Reading Notes: 7 Secrets of Vishnu, Part B






Matsya’s Secret:
  • Secret mar of vishnu is on the head
  • Save me from the big fish and I will save you- Big fish story
    • Law of the fishes
    • Vishnu takes form of a fish to interact with human kind and draw attention to jungle law 
      • No rules in the jungle
      • Only the fir survive 
      • Humans judge uaniamls but they are driven by a need to survive
      • Only humans can imagine a world where might is not right
    • Men interfere with nature which has its roots In empathy
      • We fear the fear of the little fish and do something to allay it. 
  • Story of river goddess who is requested to go to the kings place so he doesn’t have to go to the river every time he wants to bathe. The goddess gets mad and the king has to be aggressive in order to force her to come back with him. 



Two story ideas come to mind. First, I could tell a story as the beginning of creation with everyone living in a jungle style, and then an animal I can name Manu, discovers that there is more to life and a sense of empathy which separates himself from the animals. This would represent man being different from animals. The second story could be a retelling of the river goddess story, but instead of her refusing to help the king she would help him come up with a better idea that can benefit him and her.

Hello there!! My name is Briana (Bri-aw-nuh), but to keep it simple you can call me Bri! I am an Entrepreneurship Major, and I LOVE it.

Its collaborative friendly and encourages team work for pretty much every assignment. I went into my major blindly, but I can't imagine studying anything else.  Since we just got done with summer break I think a lot of who I am is summed up by what I did this summer! I got the amazing opportunity to live in the mountains of Colorado investing into the lives of 16 year olds while walking through scripture with them. I basically got paid to pretend like I was in high school again, and got to do fun things like hike, zip-line, bowl, and so many other things. To change things up a bit I'll provide my summer video that I compiled!

Week 6 Story: Sleeping Aurrie

Once upon a time, in another land far far away was a king named Hubert. King Hubert was one of the greatest men alive. Not only did his people adore him for his kingship, but they also adored him for his selfless, king hearted mentality. King Hubert was a great king and husband, but he knew he'd be an even greater father.  For years him and his wife were trying to conceive, but time after time they were unable to. King Hubert refused to accept defeat. In the middle of the night he snuck away to go visit Mal, the witch of the kingdom. Mal had nappy, greasy black hair, a wart the size of a tomato on the side of her nose, and her skin was a slight tint of green. When king Hubert arrived Mal knew there was something up, the king barely even acknowledged her most days. The king began to explain his and his wife's troubles and Mal grew angry inside. She knew where the conversation was going and thought to herself: "How dare this man expect anything from me when he has neve
