Thank you for the patience, Loke. These ten stories are rather long. I have shortened them to the best of my ability. It is also rather strenuous to write long poems. Thanks again. God bless

A great informative poem about the incarnations of Lord Vishnu. All Hindus know it but for a non-Hindu it's a work that helps them to understand Hinu mythology. When we start understanding each other we start learning the lesson of coexistence.

Thank you so much Akhtar Sahab! You are a great human being! To know each other's religion and respect them is a quality rare. Most important in life is to co-exist with plenty of love and peace.

I am intrigued with poetry from various cultures, the phrases and settings accompanied with beliefs both old and new add a versatile spice that I adore, I think this makes poetry rich and encourages creativity for those who are willing to read beyond their own style....thank you for posting this.

Lifted the Vedas were from the bottom of the sea, above the turbulent waters and this act was done by the great Lord in incarnation. Deeply compassionate and empathetic moment was felt by sages. This beautiful song of Jayadeva was very sweet at that time as it is today. Interesting and beautifully presented poem is shared.10
