Mara (demon) / His Daughters
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mara_(demon)
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Mara+demon
http://www.slideshare.net/search/slideshow?searchfrom=header&q=Mara+demon
Mara employed his favorite daughters, Thanha (Cravings), Rathi (Lust) and Ranga (Dancer) to hoodwink Prince Siddhartha. Mara wanted his daughters to show Prince Siddhartha what he is going to miss in his life if he crosses the line of no return and achieve the enlightenment.
- Thanha showed money, wealth and power in a dazzling presentation. No one could resist the temptation.
- Rathi was exposing her best, real hot stuff enough to bring any man to his knees and ask for more. Lust and love, sex and sin bundled together to create a fantacyland.
- Ranga performed with ease to melt even the rock hard hearts of most ruthless men.

Women
When I heard the story of Gautam Buddha, my question was always about his wife and son that he left behind...this write-up by Vikram Bhattacharya touches that part of the story 😊

He left her in the middle of the night, the night their son was
born. When she heard the news
she was devastated.
born. When she heard the news
she was devastated.
Yet, she did not complain but her
life lost all meaning. The only
reason for her to live now was
her son. She wanted him to grow
up to be a man that the world
would look up to.

Her friends and relatives came
around and asked her to forget
about the man who had left her
and start life again.

They asked her to marry again
but she refused. She was young
& beautiful & suitors queued up
outside her door, but she refused each one of them.
but she refused. She was young
& beautiful & suitors queued up
outside her door, but she refused each one of them.
Then one fine day he came back !
He stood in front of her and she could hardly remember him as the man who had left her. “They call you the Buddha now?” she asked him gently.
“I hear they do,” he answered in
a calm fashion.
a calm fashion.
“What does it mean?” she further inquired.
“I think it means the enlightened one, a knower,” he informed.
She smiled and then a silence.
“I suppose we have both learned something. Your lessons O Buddha, will make the world richer in spirit, but my lesson will unfortunately remain largely unknown.”
she reflected deeply....

she reflected deeply....
“ And what lesson is that ? ”
The Buddha probed.
The Buddha probed.
Her eyes sparkled with unshed tears, “That a courageous woman does not need anyone to complete her.....
SHE IS COMPLETE ON HER OWN ”
SHE IS COMPLETE ON HER OWN ”
Saluting womanhood for the Yashodhara spirit. !!!
