Gomantaka
‘Why’s that the path of Dharma is always laborious?’ mused Krishna lying on his grass bed in the remote Gomantaka Hill of Sahyadri Ranges. It was one of the dark new moon nights during dark times of Aryavarta. Krishna was revisiting his life for the past few months wherein the due course he was on a run along with his brother Balarama to escape the wrath of the Emperor Jarasandha, having slain their maternal uncle Kamsa, who happened to be Jarasandha’s son-in-law. How guided by Parshurama, they had found asylum in the unscalable but abundant Gomantaka, which was occupied by the Garuda tribe. Worrisome thoughts passed through his mind since Jarasandha and army reached the foothills of Gomantaka and camped there. He was fully aware that, though Gomantaka had steep, unscalable slopes and literally two men on the hill, could hold back an army for days, Jarasandha would find a way around.
His thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a loud screech from one of the young Garuda.’ What’s the matter?’ Krishna enquired sitting up.
‘They have set fire to the grass on the slope. We will be reduced to ashes!’ exclaimed the Garuda. The slopes of the hill right up to the top were covered with dry grass. Jarasandha and King Damaghosha brainstormed over this fact and decided to set fire to the dry grass from the foothills.
Led by the Garuda, Krishna-Balarama rushed to the edge of the Plateau. A strong breeze was blowing and the approaches to the hill were enveloped in a terrible conflagration. Cries of distress rose amongst the distressed populace of the Garuda Tribe. They started pleading with Krishna for help since they believed that Krishna possessed magical powers. Apparently, they were right!
‘Come with me all men and women with your torches and weapons like clubs, plows etc. We will quench the fire! ’Krishna commanded. Everyone followed him to rear part of the hill facing the sea which was roaring beneath them at high tide, awestruck by the divine transformation he underwent. He led them to two ridges which were actually man-made dams. A little scraping uncovered the walls of unhewn stones. Under Krishna’s instructions, everyone applied himself to breach the wall. With some efforts, breaches were made on both the walls thus allowing the sea to reclaim the land it had lost once.
Krishna did not spend all these months on Gomantaka in Vain. He had surveyed and explored the Hill thoroughly. One of his explorations uncovered these ridges/dams which had opened up the possibility of making Gomantaka still more invulnerable if needed. Ages ago, evidently, Gomantaka was a sea-girt hill. The ancestors of Garuda found it difficult to cross over to the mainland. They had, therefore, built dams of unhewn stones to keep the Sea back on both the sides and as a result, the hill was assimilated into the mainland causing a depression around the hill, which was on fire. Finally, it was being reclaimed by sea quenching the fire. This superhuman resourcefulness of Krishna eventually elevated him to a divine status who could command the sea to quench the fire.
Indian stories are allegorical in nature and this story is no exception. We have covered walls within us, holding back the sea of knowledge/wisdom. We need to uncover and breach them the way Krishna did it.
A war broke out between two parties with Krishna, Balarama, Garudas on one side and Jarasandha with his army on the other side. Krishna orchestrates the war brilliantly, defeating Rukmi and killing a warrior called Gonard while routing the army of the Emperor. A duel broke out between Jarasandha and Balarama in which Balarama had an upper hand. Eventually, Balarama prevailed over him and while he was about to smash Jarasandha’s skull, Krishna arrested his mace in mid-air and said ‘Let us not kill the emperor in a personal fight. His time has not come as of yet.’
I have taken some creative liberty to express Krishna’s musings in the beginning.

Carrier
The Female Eagle takes about 12 km over her chickens. The number of people who fly above the plane and the female eagle takes 7 TO 9 minutes to determine the distance.
Tough exam of that little chickens starts here.
He will now be told what you are born for?
What is your world?
What is your height?
Your religion is very high
And then the female eagle leaves her from her toes.
About 1 km from the top of the earth, the chickens do not realize what is going on with him.
After the arrival of 6 km, the wings of the chickens that are chained to the kanjaine, start opening.
After about 8 km, their wings open all. This is the first round of life when the eagle's child flutter the wings.
Now he is about 1000 meters away from earth, but he has not learnt to fly right now. Now comes close to the earth from where he can see his ownership.
Now his distance is only 700/800 meters from the earth, but his wings are not so strong that he can fly.
About 400/500 meters away from the earth, it now seems that his life is probably the last journey. Then suddenly a paw comes to him and takes him in his grip and takes him in the midst of his wings.
This paw is of his mother, who is just flying over her, and this training continues continuously until she learns to fly.

Vedas and Garuda
the Veda Purushan, is seated on Garuda, who is in the form of Vedam.
Sthoman is the Sama Vedic passage dealing with Sama. This Sthoman is
the Atma of Garuda. The eyes of Garuda denote the Gayatri Saman.
Note: It is recommended that the Ashtakshara Mantram be recited
upon completing the recitation of the sacred Gayatri Mantram. This
is indicative of the fact that the powerful Gayatri Mantram leads one to
the path of Lord Narayana. In a similar fashion, it is pointed out that
worship offered to Garuda confers the boon of AdhyAtma Vidya
(realization of Lord Narayana).
A case in point is the Anugraham of Bhagavan Hayagriva to Swami Desikan upon receiving Upadesham from Garuda. Garuda's head denotes the Trivruth Saman. His name is verily
Yajur Vedam. Garuda's limbs (hands and feet) denote the Gayatri Chandas. Garuda's body is the Vamadevya Saman. Of his wings, one forms the Bruhat Saman and the other forms the Radantara Saman.
Thus various parts of Garuda's body denote the Vedas. The Vedas exemplify Dharma and Garuda embodies the Vedas. Therefore, Dharma Swaroopi Garuda paves way for all victories.
