🤔 The Struggling Priest's Dilemma
This paragraph introduces the story of a kingdom named Shuram and its king, Vishnu Vardan. The focus is on the priest, D Sharma, who excels in astrology but struggles to support his family due to his lack of motivation to perform his duties. His wife urges him to earn a living, but he remains steadfast in his belief that astrological blessings are imminent. Despite his daily presence at the king's court, he refrains from praising the king like other priests, leading to no financial reward. The king eventually takes notice of D Sharma's consistent presence and inquires about his intentions.
😕 The Unfolding of Fate and Misfortune
In this paragraph, the priest D Sharma is granted a sum of 200 gold coins by the king, but his life does not improve as he believes in the inevitability of his astrological fate. He hides the money, which is subsequently stolen by thieves. Despite this, D Sharma maintains his faith in astrology, leading to further financial assistance from the king. The king, skeptical of D Sharma's beliefs, challenges the power of fate by giving him a thousand gold coins and ensuring his protection. D Sharma, however, loses the money again, this time to a crow that pushes it into a well, illustrating the continuous cycle of misfortune that he attributes to his predetermined fate.
😇 The Triumph of Faith Over Fate
The final paragraph concludes the story with a twist of fate. Despite the priest's repeated losses of the king's gifts, his unwavering faith in his astrology eventually pays off. After several months, the tree where he hid money is uprooted, revealing the lost gold coins. Similarly, the gold coins from the well are discovered during construction work. The king, now convinced of D Sharma's good fortune, allows him to keep all the money and live a prosperous life. The story ends on a positive note, with the priest enjoying happiness and contentment, attributing his success to his faith in God and astrology.

Transcripts
once upon a time there was a kingdom named shuram in that Kingdom there was a king named
Vishnu vardan who had a priest named D Sharma who was very good at astrology even though he
was good at astrology he did not have time to spend and he did not have enough motivation to
perform his duties he would spend most of his days worshiping his God one day his wife looked
at him in anger and said this to him if you spent your whole day just worshiping God and doing Puja
for the god who's going to feed us with food why don't you try to earn a living and make money for
all of us she kept nagging him every single day but he was very snch in his beliefs he looked
at her and said this to her please be patient my wife according to the astrology I should be
getting a great blessing soon in my life until then nothing works in my life please please be
patient and we shall finally reach our goals but until those blessings come our kids are going to
start without eating food why can't you go and do service for the king and make some money for us
in the meanwhile there are several people that are using the king's privilege to make money it is not
wrong for us to wait but it is very wrong for us to not work I a man who prices the God I do not
need to use my tongue to price a king then that is your wish I cannot help you for any more with
this the priest finally listened to what his wife said and he goes towards King's place over there
he sits with another priest and he tries to talk to them since most of the priests are brahmans
they all were praising the King after seeing them he thinks to himself I seriously don't understand
what does the king gain from having these people constantly prising him every single day I don't
think I can ever stood so low like this I think I must just tell the king that my situation is very
bad and I must get some money to feed my family I don't know how it can get any better of this after
meeting over the king gave out money to all the people who praised him but the king did not give
any money to D Sharma after a while Gods took D Sharma and sent him back to his home D Sharma
then reached the home after reaching the home his wife came and she asked him like this what
has happened as the king not given you everything you went there and you did what you could do but
why haven't you gotten paid for anything yes they gave a lot of money to everybody but since I was
far away I couldn't get what I want if you would have just stuck to the plan and stayed with them
and praised the king like you were supposed to you could have gotten a lot of money but now we both
don't have any money after listening to what his wife said the priest was very upset and sad but
he still did not give up he kept going to King's place and standing there but he did not get any
money whatsoever as he kept doing this for weeks One Fine Day King noticed him and was confused who
is this priest I have seen him almost every day he comes here everyday morning but he doesn't do
any of the pricing that all these other priests do and he also doesn't get paid for anything yet he
keeps coming back again and again I really want to know what has happened I'm very curious the very
next day the King was about to give them money he called his gods and said this to them listen to
me there is a man who is standing right aside all of them without ever interacting with me he is a
Brahman man he wears a green cloth I want you to bring him to me I'm very curious to see what he
is up to as the other priest was getting paid for the service Gods spoted DEA Sharma and they took
him towards the king DEA Sharma also went with the Gods as soon as the king saw theya Sharma the
King was very surprised to see the priest he then looks at the priest and say this to him priest may
you know what do you want why do you keep coming here every day and going empty-handed may you know
what you're looking for after listening to what the king said priest was quite scared to answer
but he answered my king I'm very poor man I come here every day hoping you would give me something
so that I can feed my family not willing to do what other priests are doing after listening to
what the priest said the king immediately takes some money that he had which was 200 gold coins
he put it in a bag and gave it to him here keep this money with you this will help you solve all
the problems that you have financially this will help you do what you like and make the best use
of it after receiving the gift from the king the priest thought of himself that he was one of the
most luckiest men because all the astrology about his future were right and no one can stop him what
he already predicted see I told you if you would have gone there and got this earlier we wouldn't
be struggling so much but it is fine now that we have the money we can take care of our children
and we can live a good life after listening to what his wife said the priest looked at her and
said this this is all because of my God Ganesha he had made this happen at the night priest wife
takes out the money and hides it in a place but the middle of the night a bunch of Thieves came
and steal the money take some of the jewells that they already have the priest wife was
very upset and she was heartbroken but priest himself was very very calm why are so worried
about this my wife I didn't I already told you that this is nothing but my future that I have
already predicted in this astrology this is what will happen and there is nothing that can stop
my future are you serious a bunch of Thieves will come and steal our money from our house
what is what is the connection between them and astrology I want you to go back to the king and
tell everything that had happened and get us back our money lxmi said like this the next day priest
goes and stands in front of the king like he always does but the king looked at him and he
thought to himself like this what is this didn't I give this man a lot of money yesterday why is
he still here and he is still wearing the same Tor outfits in front of me the King was very surprised
to see the priest he then looks at the priest and say this to him I thought I gave you money
yesterday and you were still right in front of me with your poor clothing what is that you want and
what has happened to you what did you do with my money it is written in my astrology that no matter
what I do or what I have everything will turn into dust so until I reach the point where I might have
a good life I request you to kindly help me with a small amount of money for me to survive for my
family because nobody can prevent the bad faith that is happening to me please understand my state
my king after listening to what the priest said the king did not have any belief in all the talk
that he had about the faith and astrology King said this to him listen priest I don't believe
in any of the things that you are saying if I want to I can make you the richest man there ever is I
shall do everything in my power to keep you rich and let us see how your astrology affects you
after this the king immediately takes a bag and puts thousand gold coins into the bag and he will
handed it over to the priest the priest realized that it would be wrong to disagree with the King
again so he takes the money and he's on the way to home priest thinks like this to himself if I go
back now I will not be able to protect my money so I shall not go to my house right now I shall keep
it in a safe place in order for me to protect it because the good time in my life will only start
after 6 months so he goes to the God's Temple and he sees a tree nearby the temple he goes towards
the tree and he decides to hide it over there he finds it very safe he thinks to himself like this
this tree looks like the perfect spot for me to hide this money if I hide it here no one will be
here able to take it from me I shall keep it here and I pray to God that nobody takes this hopefully
my God can give a chance of H to the thieves who wish to steal money from me again so now I decide
to hide it here I'm sure it will be safe after putting the money in the tree the priest walks
away and Minds his business the king also thinks about him once in a while the king then calls his
guards and and he says like this to the gods do you remember that poor man who used to come and
visit us once in a while I had given him a huge sum of money do you know what he is up
to and what he is doing right now the king asked him like this from the day the priest came there
one of the soldiers were witnessing the priest I told him what is happening yes my king I had
seen him recently even though you had given him a lot of money his property is still not gone and he
does not visit the palace anymore are you trying to tell me that he has lost all the money that
I gave to him the second time we are not sure of that my king but one thing we are very sure
is that he hasn't used the money that you have given him the king immediately ask the soldiers
to bring the priest right away the priest shows up at the palace with the same old tone outfits
the king looks at the priest and says this what has happened to you D Sharma I gave you so much
much money and you still haven't used it yet may I know what problems you are facing has it been
stolen or have you lost it my king you have to understand that until my fate reaches its
Destiny I would not be able to change it so I have hidden the money after 6 months only will be able
to use the money safely therefore I have hid it in a tree filled with snakes after listening to
what the priest said the king got really upset I chose to give you so much money so that I can
change your life why did you hide the money into the snake infested tree what you did is
very wrong I cannot accept this the soldiers go by the King's Command to bring the money from the
tree the soldiers go towards the temple and they find the tree as soon as they find the tree they
came back to the king and they said like this to him I searched the entire tree my king all of us
dead but unfortunately we weren't able to find any money over there my king what is happening
DEA Sharma are you telling me the truth did you really hide the money over the tree yes my king
but it is still there you do not need to worry about anything I had prayed to my God and he will
definitely answer my prayers he has definitely kept my money safe with him and you do not have
to worry about anything after my fate reaches its destination the King was really annoyed to hear
him talk about gods and astrology and fate all the time he hated the fact that he kept losing
the money that he gave him so how long is it going to take for your good days to start may I
know that after listening to what king said priest calculated and said this to him in order for my
good days to begin there are still 6 months left we would have to wait that long the king thinks
about something and he sees this do not worry I shall turn you into one of the richest men in the
span of 6 months let us see what your God can do against my will and my power as a king the king
immediately appoints one of his ministers to to bring a huge pot of gold coins and he gave it to
the priest listen to me D Sharma I'm handing you over all these gold coins so that you can spend
it and make your life better I will send you few soldiers so that your coins do not get lost or
stolen if I get to know that you are not spending your money I shall punish you severely the king
Wars them seriously the priest goes back to his Temple and he finds a well nearby he he keeps
the gold bow on the top of the well and he takes a shower while he is taking a shower Crow comes
and pushes the bowel of gold coins into the well after he finishes the showering he searches for
the gold coin bow but he was unable to find it he was then confused the priest D Sharma says
this to himself oh no what has happened I'm not be able to find my gold Co anymore I think this
is God's Will and it is Our Fate if the king finds out about this I will be in huge trouble I don't
know what to do he then looks at the soldiers who were standing nearby he then goes to them and says
like this please go back there is nothing for me to protect I want you to leave immediately I don't
have anything to steal or save when the guards and soldiers left back to the Palace they went and
told the king what happened the king immediately called the priest to visit him the king asked like
this what has happened D Sharma have you lost your gold coin what has happened this time I told you
before my king only when the good times of my life will arrive I will be able to enjoy all the goods
after listening to the priest this time the king decides to himself he thought to himself and said
this all right I Shall Believe you but if in case your good times begin and you are unable to find
the money that I have given you I shall punish you with the death penalty the money that was stolen
by the thieves the money that was hidden in the trees and the money that is lost now will all be
found again trust in my God my king D Sharma says like this and leaves the king's Palace after a few
months of waiting the tree gets uprooted and they find the lost gold coins too after a while people
were digging something in the well they also find other lost gold coins the king is really glad and
he invites the priest to his Palace and says this to him it seems like your good times have begun I
want you to take all the money that I've given you and live a good life from now onwards the
king says like this to the priest from that day onwards the priest had a very pleasant and happy
