from The Long Thread - Ancient Stories For The Present Moment. · host Ashvee Kanwar

Barbarika had three arrows blessed by Lord Shiva.One to mark every enemy.One to mark every ally.One to destroy everyone marked.He could end any war in one minute.On his way to Kurukshetra a Brahmin stopped him on the road and asked him to prove it.Barbarika released one arrow to mark every leaf on a great Peepal tree.The arrow marked every single leaf.Then it stopped.And began circling the Brahmin's foot.Barbarika looked at him calmly."There is a leaf hidden under your foot. You should lift it."The Brahmin revealed himself.It was Krishna.And he had one request.New story every day.Follow so you never miss one.
