INTO THE PAST WITH PAIN…290
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
(In heavens Lord Rama and Hanuman are seen strolling and talking. Laxmana is just behind them. All are well equipped with their weapons.)
Hanuman. Prabhu. To day is Ram navami, your birth day. We must celebrate
Laxman. True Bhai. We must do it.
Ram. Many birth days have come and gone. What is big about it?
Hanuman. No Prabhu. You shoud not say that. All devotees will feel bad.
Ram. It is OK. But before that I want to visit our land and see how people are behaving,
Hanuman. Jaisa aapki aagna Prabhu.
( The trio lands up at Ayodhya and at the cross roads in Ayodhya town )
Laxman. Hanuman. This place looks strange. Is it Ayodhya where Ram ruled.
Hanuman. Very much Laxman.
Laxman. But it is highly changed. I see some strange structures around here.
Hanuman. These are mosques, prayer places of Muslims.
Laxman. From where they came? They were not there during our time.
Hanuman. Brother Laxman. Mnay centuries are over since you left. You were in Treta yuga. Dwapara yuga is also over. Kali yuga is going on since 5000 years.
Laxman. Oh! I see.
Hanuman. Virtue completely collapsed in Kali yuga. People are completely virtueless. There are no ethics. Guys are corrupt, cheats, crooks, criminals, hoodwinkers, unscrupulous, .
Laxman. How bad it is. You said some thing like Muslims.
Hnauman. Yes. Islam is their religion. It was founded by Prophet Mohammed in Arabia in 6 th century AD.
Laxman. What is this AD.
Hanuman. It is an English callender. It is associated with Perophet Jesus who founded Christianity much before Islam.
Laxman. That means we lived long long ago.
Rama. Hanuman. There must be a place here where I was born.
Hanuman. Yes Prabhu. It is very much there. But it is in dispute.
Rama . Why. How there can be a dispute?
Hnauman. Prabhu. In Kaliyuga in 1527, a invader called Baber from Kabul attacked India and defeated Ibrahim Lodhi the ruler of Delhi.
Laxman. Where is this Delhi?
Hanuman. It is Hasthinapura capital of India. Babers general Mir Baqi destroyed temples in Ayodhya and he built mosques in their places. There used be a such structure called Babri Maszid that was built after destroying a Ram temple here.
Laxman. How he can do that? Is it still there?
Hanuman. No. It was destroyed by mobs few years ago who were fed up with court delays.
Laxman. That means some legal systems are there in this country.
Hanuman. Yes. But they take ages to decide things. Babri case was filed in 1948 and still has not been decided. I do not think it will be decided.It will go on like that.
Laxman. What type of govt is there here?
Rama. Laxman, Hanuman said this is Kaliyuga.Only evil will flourish now. Rascals rule everywhere. As stated there is no virtue. Rakshasas a re reborn everywhere.We destroyed most of them during our time. Lord Krishna again destroyed many. Kaliyuga is still very long and this evil rule will continue till it is destroyed by me some day.
Hanuman. Prabhu. Can you make it early?
Rama. No. I should not do that. It is against nature.
Hanuman. That means we have to keep watching these evils.
Rama. Yes.
Laxman. I want to see Babri maszid area.
Hanuman. We shall go there.
( The trio start walking towards Ram janma Bhoomi location. After some time they are stopped by some police men. A crowd collects immediately. Gandhi, Patel and Nehru are also are in the crowd)
Police man. You guys. Who are you? Why are you carrying these bows and arrows. This man looking like an ape is holding such a large mace. What for? Are you from a drama company performing Ram lila.
Hanuman. Shut up. Behave yourself. Have you seen this ( He shows the mace). This is not hollow or made of paper or bamboo. This is solid iron.
Police man. How arrogant you are with us. I shall show you.
Laxman. Bhai. Relax. We want to see Ram janma Bhoomi. We are Ayodhya princes.
Police man.. Look man. There are no princes now. They were finished in 1947 after we got independence.
Laxman. Do you atleast that Lord Rama ruled here?
Police man. That is what people say. I have not seen. Neither others have seemn. It si all written in books. It is belief.
Laxman. Good. I am happy you know atleast that.
Laxman. Do you know Hanumanji.
Olice man. Who does not know him?
Hanuman. I am Hanuman.
( From the crowd Gandhi emerges and bows to hanumanji.)
Hanuman. Aayushman bhava.
Gandhi. Thank you Hanumanji. But I can not have any aayush. I am already dead shot dead by Godse.
Hanuman.That means you are a dead guy. What are you doing here?.Have you completed your term in hell?
Gandhi. At present I am in heavens. Souls go to the place first where they have to spend less time.
Hanuman. That means you committed more sins.
Gandhi. God knows better.
Police man. You guys. Enough of discussion. Go from here. I can not allow you further.
You guys appear not straight. You are carrying weapons.
Gandhi. There is nothing to see at Ram janma Bhoomi except rubble and a make shift temple.
Laxman. Then why go there and waste time.
Rama. True. Is there anything worth to see around?
Gandhi. Nothing Bhai. We can see only see these police men everywhere holding weapons.
Hanuman. Prabhu. Give me order. I shall smash all these Khaki clad guys into pulp.
Ram. You should not do that. Control yourself. Time only will solve this problem.
Police man. Thanks for not creating problem.
Ram. Hanuman and Laxman. Let us go away from here. Let Kali have its evil dance bare and naked. Finally they will be doomed one day for their evils.Those who do ram bhajan with devotion will have some good life in future.
Hnauman. Jai jo Prabhu. Let us go
( The trio vanishes )
Gandhi. Patel. Do you believe these guys were real Rama , Laxman and Hanuman.
Patel. How can I say? Why worry Bapu. I am feeling hungry. Let us go. Where is Jawaharlal?
Nehru. I am here sitting under a tree. Let us go.
