RAM ON RAM SETHUThe Lord RAM surveyed the Ram Setu and said "Hanuman, how diligently andstrenuously you and your vanara sena had built this bridge several
centuries back. It is remarkable that it has withstood the ravages of the climatic
and geographical changes over centuries. It is indeed an amazing feat
especially considering the fact that a bridge at Hyderabad built by Gammon usinglatest technology collapsed the other day even before they could stick theposters on its pillars."Hanuman with all humility spoke "Jai Sri Ram, it is all because of your
grace. We just scribbled your name on the bricks and threw them in the sea
and they held. No steel from TISCO or cement from Ambuja or ACC was ever
used. But Lord, why rake up the old issue now."
Ram spoke "Well, Hanuman some people down there want to demolish the
bridge and construct a canal. The contract involves lot of money and lot of money
will be made. They will make money on demolition and make more money on
construction. " Hanuman humbly bowed down and said "Why not we go down andpresent our case"
Ram said "Times have changed since we were down there. They will ask us to
submit age proof and we don't have either a birth certificate or school
leaving certificate. We traveled mainly on foot and some times in bullock
carts and so we don't have a driving license either. As far as the
address proof is concerned the fact that I was born at Ayodhya is itself
under litigation for over half a century, If I go in a traditional
attire with bow and arrow, the ordinary folks may recognize me but Arjun
Singh may take me to be some tribal and, at the most, offer a seat at IIT
under the reserved category. Also, a God cannot walk in dressed in a
three-piece suit and announce his arrival. It would make even the devotees
suspicious. So it is dilemma so to say."
"I can vouch for you by saying that I personally built the bridge."
"My dear, Anjani putra, it will not work. They will ask you to produce the
lay-out plan, the project details, including financial outlay and how the
project cost was met and the completion certificate. Nothing is accepted
without documentary evidence in India. You may cough but unless a doctor
certifies it, you have no cough. A pensioner may present himself
personally but the authorities do not take it as proof. He has to produce a
life-certificate to prove that he is alive. It is that complicated. "
"Lord can't understand these historians. Over the years you have given
darshan once every hundred years to sai nts like Surdas, Tulsidas, Saint
Thyagaraja, Jayadeva, Bhadrachala Ramdas and even Sant Tukaram and still
they disbelieve your existence and say Ramayana is a myth. The only
option, I see, is to re-enact Ramayana on earth and set the government records
straight once for all."
Lord smiled "It isn't that easy today. Ravan is apprehensive that he may
look like a saint in front of Karunanidhi. I also spoke to his mama
Mareecha, who appeared as a golden deer to tempt Sita maiyya when I was in theforest and he said that he won't take a chance of stepping on earth
as long as Salman Khan is around."
