KAKKA- THECROW PART 2 Dearfriends, This ispart 2 of the posting about crow.Part1 has been published on 16-2-2011.I amthankful for all the members who respond to my postings.
Sincerely, Gopalakrishnan 17-2-2011. Reposted on 20-2-2021 after editing andupdating information.R. Gopala krishnan 10. Origin of Kaveri the river. Once sageAgasthia was coming through south. Not able to get separated from wife Lopa mudra , he changed her towater, and poured in Kamandalu and wascoming. Lopa mudraalways desired to be come a river. It was time for sandhya, sage kept Kamandaluon a rock, went to a small water pond near and started performing sandhya. Lord Ganesha took the form of a crow. He came near the kamandalu. He tilted it. The lid got opened, waterstarted flowing as a river. This is the origin of river Kaveri. 11. Lord Saneeswara and the crow. LordSaneeswara hold a crow in his hand. It is told to ward of evils if any occur during Sanidasa, sani subperiod, or Kandaka sani or ezharasani, to feed crows. WhetherSani dasa is there or not it is good to feed crows. It is good to give themwater to drink. Now having multiplex buildings, no cleaning of vessels outsidekeeping with water, they really become thirsty without getting water. Once ourmember Sri Srinivasa raju iyer suggestedthrough his postings to keep some water on terrace in a flat pot withoutfalling in summer . They would come and drink water. Following the suggestion,last summer I kept a small bowl every day filled with water. The crows startedeating biscuit bits dipping in water. Rarely drinking water without biscuit bit. I haveseen many times crows sitting in the overhead water tank overflow pipe, todrink excess water while falling waiting for falling. Many days I have run themotor for flowing water, not one crow , two or three crows I found drinkingwater flowing down through the pipe. 12. Cawling and guests. In pastwhile crows crawl, it was usual to say an indication of guests or some letters.70% this used to be correct. This was there in the response by Sri Venkitaraman on 19-2-2021 also. Now a daywe hear crows caw in the early morning. Hearing it mostly my wife wake up. Afterwards they are mostly silenttill evening. Evening again they caw while going to nests. Nowadays a lot of crows caw meanssomething has occurred to one among them. Whilefinding good food, they caw, but limited. Probably they have also changed theirpattern of living. I forgotto say- The crows more like other eatables like biscuits , pappadam, vada etc.I have tried. if we keep rice and near some biscuits , crow first take biscuitsand not rice. Further they estimate the quantity, caw once or twice. Stop cawingafter wards. Silently as in a que, they take biscuit bits and fly. Some taketwo in the beak if they are more hungry. Update- I am not sure how the pattern has changed. Nowadays in the earlymorning they like rice left over previous day intendedfor cows. After seeing they are eating from it, smallquantity of rice is kept in the gate now. They eat partially. I will continue in next posting. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
