Krishna the Hero

Krishna was really mischievous when he was kid and many people didn't like his mischievous behavior.  But his mother who always protect him from everyone and she somehow knew that Krishna is special.  I get to listen to so many of his stories when I was five or six years old and there was cartoon made on him which I watched everyday.  I was really interested in history and things that were related to gods, who came down to earth to defeat evil demons.  They are not demons but humans who are acting like demons and Krishna who is reincarnation of Vishnu.  I would like to know what he did and how he defeat those demons.

Hanuman

In a way Hanuman is a Monkey God and he was a reincarnation of god Shiva who came down on earth to help Rama who is reincarnation of Vishnu.  Rama was a human and Hanuman was born so he can protect Rama and there are many stories about him.  I really like Hanuman and nobody has the power to stop him and he will only listen to what Rama tells him.  He devoted his entire life for Rama and he was strong as well as intelligent,  so he will find solution to whatever problem he is facing.  I really like that he never let anyone do injustice and always stay with justice and I want know more stories about Hanuman.

Karma

I really like the stuff about reincarnation and how the karma effect your life.  Based on Karma if will determined what you will be doing in your next life and how your life going to be.  You will never know what you will be in next life but it will based on karma,  I like karma because it is what you do like doing right things you will have good life and doing wrong things will have bad life.  I believe in karma that if I do the right thing than I will have good karma similar to that everyone has to face karma.  There was a story about Krishna death in Mahabharata is based on his karma from Ramayana.  I really like this type of story.

Rama and Sita

Goddess Kali

I really like Goddess Kali and it is Goddess Paravati who transform into Kali if someone doing evil things.  Goddess Paravati is wife of Shiva and mother of Ganesha and Karthika who has this power to transform into different forms.  She took many forms to defeat evil demons and the form I like the most was Kali.  I would like to know more stories about her because I have only heard few stories but I heard and read that she would never let injustice happen.  Once she turn into goddess Kali than it is hard for everyone to calm her down because her rage is out of control unless someone can calm her down than she will turn back to goddess Paravati.

Feedback Thoughts

I really like when someone tells me what I am doing wrong and how I can improve on those things.  I receive so many of papers with the feedback and even went to professor's office so I can learn what I am doing wrong.  After that I have understand and did my paper again, after that she told me that this is right.  It is not a bad thing to receive feedback just make you more understandable and from next time you will do what you need to do.  Getting feedback means you will learn more and your learning growth has not stop there.  Learning more is not a bad thing actually it is good thing that you will also be able to use that knowledge and give someone else feedback.  Don't be afraid of feedback and learn from what others have given feedback.

Week 2 Story: Wild Dog and A Boy

Once upon a time there was a wild dog and a boy. The boy name was Jake.

When Jake was little he like puppies because they were cute and he can could play with them.  One day Jake asked his mom "Why can't we have puppies like the one I usually go play with in our backyard in afternoon" and his mom said "never go play again with the puppies."  Jake started wondering why his mom said not to go play with puppies, he didn't know what to do but he still went to play with them. 

One day Jake's mom caught him and took him inside the house.  His mom said "go take a shower those puppies never take shower and you can get sick with the bacteria they have on their body."  Since that time Jake haven't gone to played with puppies and started staying away from puppies and dog.  While coming from his friend’s house he saw there was a dog who was sleeping on side walk.  Jake had known that all the dogs are wild at the place where he is living so nobody would take them as a pet and they became wild dog that will bite anyone.  The dog was sleeping that's what Jake thought and he was trying to walk as quiet as possible but the dog woke up and started barking at the boy.  The boy became really scared and the dog started running at him and Jake ran back to his friend's house.  Jake was safe since he reached his friend’s house and from that day he started hating the wild dogs.

Since that incident Jake started throwing rocks at the wild dogs just like everyone.  Whenever there is a dog that pass by with no owner he gets scared because of the experience he had during his childhood. He only like the dog that are trained and don't bite people.  Jake want's a puppy or dog that are trained but he doesn't want to take care of them so he goes play with his friend’s dog.
