Compounding that fear suddenly, there was a need for his Mother to leave him at home and travel to her native place for a week..
When he mentioned his fear meekly..
The eldest brother said,
“Don’t worry! I am there for you!”
The other elder one said,
“I am without that fear. Why don't you try to be like me?”
The dad smilingly said,
"Don't worry, dear! I am there for you and you will be alright!"
But his Mom by his side alone knew all that turmoil in him 100%. One day before her departure, as soon as her son returned from school, she gave him the evening mini meal to his satisfaction, made him relax for few minutes and said,
“Dear! When I am away for a week, daily you will be alone for about 2 hrs in the house in the evenings till your bros return, isn't it?”
The boy instantly responded to her saying, ‘YES’ without his own knowledge..
“I know you are afraid of heavy thunders and lightening. In case a heavy rain comes in that time, you are worried, isn't it?”
She mentioned.. The boy suddenly found a great interest in his Mom’s approach..
“Also, at night when your bros are sleeping, if the same lightening and thunders come up, you are again worried, isn't it?”
She asked..
Yes! she exactly touched his problem.. The boy was totally at ease with the solace he got from the menacing problem troubling him..
“I’ll give you the best solution..
What our Epic Story says is that the Devas’ King Indra, the Lord of Rain God as he travels in the Sky in his Chariot, the constant rubbing with the clouds produces the lightening and thunders. So if you please Devas' King Indra, he definitely takes care of you..
And you know Prince Arjuna is the son of Indra. So praise Prince Arjuna, Indra is pleased with you and instructs the Rain God to go soft without making such a blinding lightening and loud thunders..
I tell you a Sloka, by-heart this one and repeat the same in your mind whenever the thunders and lightening strike!”
The loving Mom instantly made him learn the famous Sloka..
“Arjunah Palghunah Paarthah Kireethih Swethavahanah
Bheebhastuh Vijayah Krishnah Savyasaachih Dhananjayah!”
(A sloka of praising Prince Arjuna bringing out his own Identity and Achievements)
“Now you are safe.. The lightening and thunders can do nothing to you!”
Said the Mom with a smile patting her son..
The boy was totally relieved of the hidden menacing fear with him as he found the right solution to his problem which none else could give him. He instantly felt very strong and highly capable. No doubt to say..

- He by-hearted the Sloka in no time,
- Happily bid bye to his Mom the next day and
- Was all ready to wage a war if weather showed it’s fury..
A man of no fear was just born in him with a determination to help out the world in general!
