Mangala Chapter Fifteen: War in Heaven

Kaccana Bhikkhu

January 31, 2010

Endlessly, and mostly patiently, Dusaka responded to Krishna’s questions. Although it seemed that, for every perplexity he cleared up, along with each answer came another dozen mysteries. The current hottest area of interest had, ironically, been stirred up by Rama. While he had ironically been named after one of the deified heroes of legend – the husband of the virtuous and beautiful Sita, after whom Kamanita’s first wife had also been named – he was the most ardent of scientific types within the group of youths and he vigorously opposed the idea that people such as his namesake had ever existed. He was even more keen to launch into argument if anyone even so much as mentioned the names of any gods or goddesses, or spoke of devas, spirits or other invisible realms of any kind.
