trapped.
Later on, Guna and Rajan were pressing Charan's feet, while Charan on the other side was scheming. Then afterwards Satya, Vinod and Shastri entered.
"Swamiji ki Jai ho."
"Swamiji, we have hired the boys you captured." Vinod said.
"Perfect." Charan smiled. "After they work on my anniversary celebrations, let them sign the contract."
"But Swami. I was thinking if we don't let them sign the contract. Because we will lose $7000 thrice!!"
"Oho! Vinod, why are you so-" Charan paused.
"So brilliant?! Vinod smiles.
"No. So foolish." Charan replied. "If they sign the contract, I can trick them into working for me for the rest of their lives."
"Ohh Waw Swamiji!"
"And also you can stop paying them at a certain point." Guna said.
"Oh yes, my favourite Guna." Charan stroked his head.
"Swamiii? Is this Guna your favourite?!" Shastri whined.
"You always praise him!" Vinod frowned.
"Tell us Swami." Satya asks.
"Yes he is. Because he's smarter than you all." Charan bluntly replied.
"But Swami, how are we going to get back at those four tricksters."
"Oh them. I won't spare them! And, this time, they will never help their friends. Hahaha." Charan added.
"What about the other two?"
"Hmmm. Meenakshi truly has Meena like eyes, while Ariadne is a precious jewel." He replied. "Soon I will have them. And marry them in front of Ganga."
"What a plan!" Shastri and the rest remarked.
"Good plan." Guna remarked.
"Thank you Guna."
"You did it again, Swami!!"
"Did what?! Now move from my sight! Go and clean or something. You may stay, Guna."
"All four tricksters seem so capable of everything." Charan thought. "But the biggest trickster there, is Vasudev. He always confuses people with his words."
Narayan however speaks a different way to the Asuras and other Rakshasas in order to outsmart them. However, he also does it for fun, when he's with his friends and associates.
It's night, and Charan and Ganga's first celebration were in full swing. Also, Lakshman, Aniruddh and Akshobhya were there in the kitchen. Charan's five followers didn't want them to recognise him, so they separated the darbar with an opaque ochra cloth.
Also they have told the other devotees to cheer jai RishiMaharaj instead of Charan's name.
Speaking of celebrations, Charan plans to have his parties for 18 nights, where the 18th will be his actual anniversary.
So before he made his entrance, he have gifted Ganga something.
"Here dear."
"Waw!! Silver jhumka earrings!" Ganga smiled.
"Studded with diamonds. For my diamond." He put them in her ears.
"Swami."
"Tell me devi."
"You haven't changed. You still love me." She blushed. "And you're still romantic. At first I was beginning to think that you don't honour women. But now, I believe you do."
"Yes I do, my Ardhangini. And I honour you. Come, let's go outside. They're waiting for us."
"Sure Swami."
So in the first half of the darbar, Charan and Ganga took a seat on a fancy throne, which was ordered on Ebay of course. Then thereafter, everyone began to sing and dance in glee and enthusiasm! Also there was entertainment, like Bharatanatyam and Odissi.
"Enjoying the entertainment?" Charan asks.
"Yes Swami. Their bliss is so pure." Ganga turned to him. "Nath, I'm so happy that I'm enjoying with you."
"Me too."
"Nath, I'm sorry for insulting you the other day. It was due to sadness, as our sons are still in jail."
"It's ok dear. I still love you." Charan smiled.
"I love you too." Ganga continued to look into his eyes. But then her earnings began to glisten, as the light was reflecting off the diamonds and the pure silver nature.
"Here Swami." An attendant handed him a brass cup of milk.
And like Ganga's earrings, the light reflected off the cup.
On the other side, Vishnu furiously woke up from his Nindyog state. Then, when he made his Sharang dhanush appear, he aimed and shot his arrow. That arrow however broke through the glass of their dorm house, scraped the sky, knocked down the cloth and later knocked off one of Ganga's earrings. Then when Vishnu shot another arrow, it knocked the cup from Charan's hand.
"Oh no!!" Some devotees screamed
"Oh my!!"
"My earring!"
"Quickly! Hang up the cloth curtain!!"
"Yea!"
"Who shot this arrow." Charan growled.
"Sarvanash Swami!! What just happened!" Ganga cried. "The spilled milk! My earring is knocked off?! What is really happening!! I feel it is Sarvanash!! Hey Bhagwan, save my husband."
"Relax Ganga! I'm Bhagwan!" Charan demanded. "Why are you so superstitious. What if the milk had spilt. And I can just put back on your earring."
"But Swami?! Where did that arrow come from?!"
"I don't know! It's maybe someone's prank. Everyone, get back to dancing."
"Someone's prank." Ganga thought.
"Hey, Lakshman . Have you felt that rush of heat?"
"Yea Akshu."
"I think the air conditioning have switched off for a second." Aniruddh adds. "I'm no sure. But it actually felt like the sun had descended in the room."
"Narayan! What happened?" Buddha ran in. "I have heard a crash."
"And the window is broken?" Shiva discovered it.
A darshan of Shree Ram had just Illuminated from Narayan's body.
"Narayan, what is this?" Jesus asks.
"Something had just reminded me of my Ram avatar." Vishnu added.
"Did Ram break a window?" Buddha covered his face with his hand.
"No Sakyamuni. That Charan is enjoying himself while still plotting to to harm our devotees. Just like when I have reached to Lanka. I had discovered Ravan celebrating, despite still having my Sita captive in his Ashok Vatika." Vishnu explained.
"Ohh."
"I think I feel to give him a message in person." Vishnu says.
Thereafter, Charan and his wife were still sitting and enjoying themselves, until a person came with a bow.
"Have anyone seen my stray arrows? I was practising for Ramleela." Vishnu asks. "Oh gosh! Ramanandji is going to kill me for losing these props."
"Hey! Who are you?! And how dare you come here!" Charan exclaimed.
"Oh me?"
"Yea you!"
"Old man, I'll tell you my name later. Just tell me if you saw my arrows." Vishnu said. "The head and the choreographer of the Ramleela committee will fire me if I lose the props."
"Why did you call me an old man! Have some sort of respect."
"Well you're a man." Vishnu chuckled. "And you don't look too young."
"Aaggh!!!!"
"What kind of Raag is that? Are you a classical singer? Can you teach me to sing? If I get fired, I have to become Sonu Nigam to put food on the table." Vishnu asks. "Or was something stuck in your throat. But I understand. It's common in your age, as mucus will build up more."
"I'm not old!!"
"But you're not young. It's called middle aged, uncle Charan." Vishnu smiled.
"Say Charan baba." Charan demanded.
"But you must call your elders uncle and auntie. Despite how old they may be. Ok ok I will call you, Baoji." Vishnu chuckled.
"Nooo, baba! Like the synonym of Prabhu, Pita, Pitashri, Swamiji, Prajapati," Charan adds. "Gurudev."
"Ohh. Pita? Pitamah." Vishnu smiled. "Yea, you look older than Pitamah Bhishma."
"What??"
"But don't worry, you're young compared to him."
"Yes, I know I'm young. And you're just mischievous."
"You know, that sounds like what my uncle Kans might say." Vishnu laughed.
"Baapare! Forget this. Now who are you."
"I'm Vishnu, who else do you think I am." Vishnu replied. "I'm acting as Shree Ram in Ramleela. And I won't be Ram anymore because of your carelessness."
"How was I careless?! You're the one who had lost your arrows. And caused a ruckus here."
"But then one thing, uncle Charan. On a normal basis, you are very careless." Vishnu stroked his chin. "How can you let someone who wasn't invited come in and save his friends? You won't have any devotees left, if he does. And the contract will be useless. Uncle Charan, that's wasting paper and ink! Think of the trees and animals!"
"Vasudev!" Charan growled.
"Yea old man, that's one of my names." Vishnu said. "You're learning so quickly. Now you must learn to give up these evil intentions and follow the righteous path."
"I'm the creator of the righteous path." Charan said.
"Non of us had. The righteous path is just when the divine guides us to Him. And I'm that divine." Vishnu replied. "We should always uphold and preserve that dharmic path."
"Haha. This child is claiming he's divine!" Charan laughed.
"You had claimed yourself as the divine, so why can't I. It's a free world." Vishnu added. "Now listen, uncle Kans. I mean uncle Charan. I'm giving you one chance to change your life! And if you don't, you will meet your Karmapal. I take your leave."
"Oh my! But young man, have you found your arrows?" Ganga asks.
"Mata. The arrows have three meanings. First, I have knocked down the cloth, the cup and your earring. Hence it have eliminated pleasure, pride and greed. The falling cloth symbolises that Charan is soon going to be revealed as the fraud he is!" Vishnu replied. "Second, I have given you a warning that this is a dharam yuddh, not a celebration. And third meaning, Charan. The mind is like an arrow travelling to it's target, and as I was following the arrow, I had innocently come here. It means, many innocent people have come here, following their minds to search for spirituality and wisdom. Yet they have gotten manipulation and false teaching. See, I came in here and asked for my arrows, and you have spoken rudely to me. Saying who are you! And on top of that, you have claimed yourself to be Supreme and equal to the divine. Huh! Call me baba, call me baba! Now I must leave. And surely return. And when I return, I'm leaving with my friends and the poor people you had brainwashed. Goodbye, Har Har Mahadev." Vishnu left.
At the end of the utsav, Lakshman and his friends were humbly cleaning up, until Vinod and Guna came to them.
"Oh hey!" Akshobhya smiled. "We will sign the contract when we're done with tidying, and sending these plates to the kitchen."
"Right, about the contract." Guna said. "As tomorrow will make two weeks since you're working for us, we will let you sign tomorrow instead."
"You three have so much prestige." Vinod remarked. "And our guru ji loves your food."
"Oh really!"
"And his wife does too." Guna adds. "Actually he's getting married again to--"
"To his wife of course!" Vinod covered Guna's mouth. "He want to remarry his wife on his anniversary."
"Accha."
"Vinod, what are you doing?" Shastri confronted them. "Since guru have given us authority to supervise them, I think we should let them go home for the weekend."
"Oh sure. You can all go for the weekend. But after that, you will always remain in the ashram." Vinod added.
"So you will sign the contract on Monday."
"Thank you. We're going to put away these aprons and hair nets." Aniruddh said. Then they walked off."
"What is wrong with the both of you?!" Guna asks.
"No! What is wrong with Shastri?" Vinod exclaimed. "If they sign tomorrow, they will become Swamiji's followers faster."
"You all, listen to me." Guna said.
"Not now Guna!!!"
"You two. We should give them a little holiday to see their drinks and family for the last time. And also we should make them comfortable." Shastri said. "If they are comfortable, then we'll win their trust."
"Oh right!!"
"Let me speak! Remember what happened to Swami earlier?!" Guna added.
"What had happened? We were busy checking our laundering records." Vinod replied.
"His enemy Vasudev came, and threatened him. So we can't let them out of our sight." Guna says.
"Lakshman and they have just left!"
"Oh! We're dead."
On the other side, Ariadne and Meenakshi were in their dressing room chatting about their success. Now as they have just came from a photoshoot, they were still wearing expensive lahengas. Then thereafter, Rajan and Satya entered.
"Hi girls." Rajan greeted.
"Hi." Meenakshi adds.
"We are your personal drivers. Your boss had requested it."
"Oh nice." Ariadne smiled.
"So I'm Satya. And this is Rajan."
"And we want to escort you to your last photoshoot." Satya said.
"But we only have about four photoshoots a day." Meenakshi says.
"Change of schedule. The manager haven't told you because her phone has died." Rajan adds.
"Oh speaking of phones. Our phones are dead, and there's no power sockets in our reach." Meenakshi stated.
"Don't worry. We will charge them for you." Rajan took their phones and placed it in their pockets."
"Thank you. You're very kind."
"Let's go quickly! We're getting late for the photoshoot."
Furthermore, when they were heading to the place, Satya suspiciously turned on the radio.
"Why is the tinting on your car windows so dark?" Meenakshi asked.
"I don't know." Rajan replied. "Sometimes I don't like it when people can see what is in the car."
"Sometimes they get curious, sometimes they get startled. And we don't want to get into that." Satya added. "Have you heard the news lately? Charan baba is out of jail."
"He is?!!!!!" Meenakshi and Ariadne almost caught a heart attack.
"Yea. What if he is? Baba is very compassionate, merciful and flawless." Rajan said.
"People are always trying to defame him." Satya stated.
"He locked us in a cell!!" Meenakshi complained. "And you're saying he's compassionate!! It looks like you're his followers! Well if so, then first Google the meaning of compassion and turn this car around!"
"We don't want anything to do with you two!" Ariadne adds.
"Baba has told us to carry you two to him, so we're carrying out his command."
"You're sick!!"
"How can you kidnap us?!!"
"My Bholenath won't spare you!! Every woman is a form of Shakti!! And Shakti is the wife of Mahadev only!"
"Charan is Mahadev himself."
"He could never be!" Meenakshi declared.
"I have to prevent them from spotting Lakshman, Aniruddh and Akshobhya." Satya thought. "Anyways Vinod said that they have gone home for the weekend."
