I have read in some magazines that Devarishi Narada, a Chiranjeevi, was cursed once by Lord Brahma that he could not spent more than one a half hour continuously at a place as he had disrupted Brahma's creative process once.
A few days before, I had a chance to meet the Devarishi at a Kalyana Mandapam in Mylapore. He was there to attend a marriage. I introduced myself to him and he requested me not to disclose his identity to anybody else there.
A doubt arose in my mind that why he has come over there. He could not be an invitee to the function. Maybe, he might have planned to create some chaos at the function within his allowed one and a half hour's stay there, as was his practice.I thought it was wise to wait and see the happenings.
An hour lapsed without any hitch and Narada remained quiet chanting Narayana Mantras within himself. I took a deep breathe of relief that nothing untoward happened till then and only half an hour remained for Narada to quit the place, within which nothing could take place and I sincerely wished that nothing could happen marring the marriage ceremonies.
Then, I started hearing some quarrels from the Bridegroom's room in the Mandapam. The groom's mother had picked up a quarrel with the Bride's father over the purity of the gold ornaments which the bride was adoring. She wanted to check whether the ornaments were of pure gold to which the Bride's father refused, as he is an honest man and didn't want to cheat anybody. Other relatives of the Bride and the groom joined the quarrel and utter chaos prevailed over there and the marriage function ended abruptly.
From all the happenings there, I read out that the Devarishi has played his part well there also. I searched for him in the Mandapam and could not trace him. I could make out that one and a half hour has already lapsed since I met him and he might have left the scene as per the curse.
The story goes like this. Narada approached the bridegroom's mother in the guise of a relative to the bride and advised her to check the purity of the gold ornaments the bride was wearing, since the bride's father has cheated his elder daughter's in-laws by giving them gold covered jewelry. The in-laws came to know about it only after a long time and since then his elder daughter was staying with him only. But the truth was that the elder daughter's in-laws used to harass her and had taken all the jewels from her. When she could not tolerate their deeds, she returned to her father.
Whatever be the true story, Devarishi Narada of the modern age played his part well and disappeared, leaving others to fight each other.
He has chosen the right person(Bridegroom's mother) and the right property (gold) to enact that drama. May his tribe decrease.
