The Story Of Lord Rama And The Squirrel
While the entire army of Lord Rama was full of enthusiasm for the fight with the army of Ravana and when the fire of revenge burned in their hearts, the fire also flashed in the heart of a squirrel as well. Most of the members in the army of Lord Rama were monkeys. All of them, standing at the shore of the sea, got instruction to make a bridge so that the sea could be crossed.
Each one of them, started picking up big rocks and setting them up in alignment with each other in order to construct the bridge.
The Agony Upon Sita's Abduction
Be it Hanuman, Sugreev, or others in the team, irrespective of their age or health, the zeal and dedication to save Mata Sita showed in all of them. The ocean was deep and wide, but the fire inside the hearts was deeper and wider too. It was all because they loved Lord Rama and Mata Sita and wanted to save her, in any possible way.
All Working Together In Order To Save Mata Sita
It was not just the monkeys and other people in the army, who were helping Lord Rama, but others from the nearby forests and villages had also come to support them. All knew that Lord Rama was the prince of Ayodhya who had come for serving the exile period. Sita Maiya, as they called her, was also one of the most respected and dignified ladies whose being captivated by king Ravana had invited the fury of many. All these, hoping to save her, were now working together to save the Goddess.
An Unnoticed Squirrel
Amidst the noise of the efforts and the chaos of all those present, there was one whose effort was being unnoticed. It was a squirrel who had been carrying small pebbles and fitting them wherever possible and thus helping in the making of the bridge. Though the size of the animal was too small as compared to the level of task and the ability of others in the army; her efforts could be called negligible. However, this was not sufficient to move her and it reflected in her confidence, with which she was working.
A Monkey Made Fun Of The Squirrel
However, one of the monkeys noticed this little creature putting in her efforts, while he was carrying a very heavy stone. Amused by the squirrel, he told her to get off from his way. He told her not to work since her contribution would be negligible and it wouldn't matter much even if she did not work. Hence, he advised her to go back and take rest. When the squirrel defended, one of the onlookers told about it to others as well, just to make fun of her.
The Squirrel Approached Lord Rama
Offended by this, the squirrel went to Lord Rama. She complained about those in the army and requested Lord Rama to punish them in return. Lord Rama asked all the people to assemble at one place near the bridge. As they all came in, Lord Rama, while pointing towards two stones which would have slipped and collided down, had they not been held intact because of a small pebble. He told them that the pebble was brought and put there by the squirrel.
The Pebbles Held Rocks Together
All
were
surprised
to
see
how
a
small
pebble
had
been
helping
to
keep
both
the
large
stones
together.
They
realised
that
no
act
was
small
or
big.
An
effort
made
with
honest
intentions
and
an
urge
to
contribute
to
a
righteous
and
virtuous
deed
is
always
good.
All
those
who
played
pranks
on
and
made
fun
of
the
squirrel
were
embarrassed
and
apologised
to
her.
It
is
said
that
Lord
Rama
then
patted
the
back
of
the
squirrel
in
appreciation.
This
left
the
mark
of
three
fingers
on
her
back.
It
is
one
of
the
mythological
reasons
often
stated
behind
squirrels
having
three
stripes
on
their
back.
