The Boatman's Song 12/ Many

The Boatman’s Song   			12/Many

The Princess made an excuse before her father 
So that her step Uncle may not know 
That she had started planning  
To tackle all those, who were making a conspiracy 
Against her father 
About which, she had come to know only that day
But her step Uncle was not knowing, that she had just heard
About his treachery to kill her father and to remove her 
So that he may capture her kingdom  

She knew that any moment, her step Uncle would be here 
And suddenly she saw, another horse coming towards them
On which was a man much younger in age than her father
Her Uncle was quite stout with a face full of cheating and cunning ness             
And his mind was busy, in creating some deeper designs
But this was known only to Princess YogMaya*
Who had overheard accidentally, how he was planning to kill the King

YogMaya came near her father, who was although a King
But was looking like a helpless ruler, because of his age
And because of the curse, of not being blessed by any Prince 
As a Prince could have very well looked after the King and Queen
As well as, the young Princess YogMaya  
Whom her father used to call lovingly by Many names 
Her father’s favorite YogMaya the princess was too young
To tackle the treacherous conspiracies, which were being hatched
In the absence of strength in the arms of her father 
And the needed sharpness which is required in a King’s mind   
Her father was too old now to act as an effective king

Note: The story contains many imaginary characters along with the
Gods, Goddesses from the Indian Mythology and from the golden era 
Of Ancient Indian History. To make this epic drama interesting I have tried to
Cover only those things, which are based on the true Indian culture and 
Hindu religion as per Vedas, Upnishad’s and Gita etc. which are the foundation 
of our true Hindu religion and Indian philosophy and which says that entire 
universe is our family. “Vasudeo Kutumbukum*”.  All faiths leads towards that one 
Omnipresent, only the paths may differ, respect them all.  As and when historic characters 
would be taken I will let the readers know, in order to appreciate the entire Drama in the 
light of Hindu Mythology, Indian philosophy and Ancient Indian History.
