Once upon a time Lord Indra was
holding a court. He found that a divine person
with radiating light (Embodiment of Spirit) was
just walking towards his court. Seeing him
Indra’s arm guards gave up their weapons; they
prostrated to that Embodiment of Spirit. Gods
and Goddess started to adore him. In the
utmost surprise of all even King Indra also came
down from his celestial throne and requested
that supreme personality to come and occupy
the throne.
Indra was puzzled. He didn’t know what to do then! He sought the advice of his guru, the great Prajapati who asked Indra to go back to that Embodiment of Spirit and serve him. Indra served sincerely year after year and after a long time one day he enquired, “O Indra, what are you seeking?” Indra respectfully replied, “Oh Adorable One, I want to know about the power you possess, because of that without having any weapon like Astra, Sastra, or Army you are able to control Bhuh, Bhuvah, Swah, Mahah, Janah, Tapah, and Satyam Lokas.” “Oh Indra it’s very small matter; it’s only due to my character and virtues! I am very happy with you; I want to give a boon to you; please ask anything other than Indra’s kingdom or Indrasan”, declared the Embodiment of Spirit. Indra humbly requested; “If so, please give me your character and all your virtues.”
Embodiment of Spirit said, “So be it to you!” With great sound and shock one after another, five bright rays of light came out of his body and entered in Indra’s Body and with that he (Embodiment of Spirit) was thrown out of the Indrasan. Last ray declared that you have given your character and virtue to Indra. Where there are character and virtues, there lie power, wealth and wisdom!
