 STORY : The Lord Krishna and the Lapwing's Nest  PAGE 1-10 35MIN

It is the battle of Kurukshetra. The white conch shells are about to sound the elephants
to march forward and the attack of the archers to commence. The moment is brief and
terrible. Banners are flying and the charioteers preparing for the advance. Suddenly a little
lapwing who has built her nest in the turf of a hillock in the midst of the battlefield draw the attention of the Lord Krishna by her cries of anxiety and distress for her young. "Poor little mother!"he said tenderly, "let this be thy protection!" And, lifting a great elephant-bell that has fallen near his place it over the lapwing's nest. And so, through the eighteen days of raging
battle that follow a lapwing and her nestlings are keep in safety in their nest by the mercy
of the lord even in the midst of the raging field of Kurukshetra.
