Stories of the Rishis by Nalini Sahay - HTML preview

Narada

Narada was regarded as the messenger of the gods. By some sources he is considered Brahma’s son and a Prajapati,one of the first fathers. He was a meddler in people’s affairs and to this day someone who is a busybody is called NaradaMuni. He was responsible for placing a curse on Dakhsha’s sons so that they could have no children. He informed Kansa of Krishna’s approaching birth and that led to the mass slaying of male infants. Thereafter he became a devotee, friend and companion of Krishna. He was the creator of the Veena, which is a musical stringed nstrument,delightful to the eye and the ear. He was very vain about his ability to create music. One day Krishna placed his Veena in the paws of a bear. The bear started playing it and it produced even sweeter strains than Narada. Narada was duly silenced by this celestial show.
