On the day of Maha-Shivratrai, let's have a
look at the family of Bhagwan Shiv which gives a beautiful example of
co-existence.
In the Shiv family, there exits Snake and
Mouse together, which are otherwise considered as predator and prey
respectively. Snake being the ornament of Lord Shiva and Mouse being the
vehicle of Lord Ganesha.
In Indian mythology, if we look close enough,
we will find different trees and animals associated with different Gods, which
on one hand connects Indian mythology and it's followers to the nature and
teaches them to respect it; on the other hand, it also gives beautiful examples
of how different species, being however diverse, can co-exist in a peaceful
environment.
India, being such a diverse country has lived
upto it's mythology to an extent, but have a narrow, bumpy road to traverse
ahead.
