When Tenali Raman was Blessed by Goddess Kali, Sanaatan Tales
🚩 In the village of Tenali, there lived a very poor yet carefree boy named Ramalingam or Raman. One day a wandering Sadhu saw him wasting his time and chided him.
🚩 The Sadhu taught him a Mantra and its practice to appease Maa Kali. Blessed with a razor-sharp intellect, Raman easily learnt the Mantra. That night, Raman chanted the Mantra a hundred thousand times and Goddess Kali appeared before him.
🚩 She was magnificent with huge expressive eyes, a dark complexion, a thousand heads and two hands raised in blessing. However, instead of asking Her for anything at all, Raman burst out laughing. The Goddess was not amused and demanded to know the reason for his mirth.
🚩 Raman told Her that with two hands he found it hard to manage one running nose; he was wondering how She would manage Her thousand noses if She ever had a cold! The Goddess could not help but smile at his childlike innocence and imagination.
🚩 She addressed him as a ‘Vikat Kavi’ (a jesting poet) and blessed him with the power to be able to make people laugh. She presented two cups before Raman. A golden cup with the milk of learning and another sour curd of wealth appeared in Goddess’s hands.
🚩 She asked Raman to choose one. Quick as a flash, Raman gulped down both the milk and the curd. The cups were empty and the Goddess was furious. But Raman had prostrated himself before Her. He closed his eyes and praised Her with songs in childlike innocence.
