Grandmother of Brahma

I start this blog with a question. Who is the grand mother of Lord Brahma? Let us hear what a learned pundit says. This scholar who is known for his humour in delivering mythological stories was invited to deliver a lecture in Ram Mandir in Malleswaram.

A Hindu correspondent approached him and asked how much was the crowd and how they behaved, when he delivered the epic story? The pundit replied that only grannies attended and their behaviour was akin to 'stand and still'. The scholar quipped they were all Lord Brahma's grand mothers. The correspondent was in utter confusion and pleaded the pundit to explain in lay man's language. The scholar explained that Lord Brahma took his birth from the "Nabhi" of Lord Narayana. According to Prahalada Lord Narayana came from the "pillar". Hence pillar is the grand mother of Brahma. The pundit told the correspondent that no body came for the lecture, but only the "pillars" standing in the Ram Mandir heard his lecture.

Their behaviour was still in standing posture. The Hindu correspondent had the last laugh.
