Some of the Powerful but Lesser-Known Warriors of Covid-19 Vaccine and Covid Battle! We need to Bow Down our Head for their Sacrifices! Who are They? Read this Interesting Perspective!!

Dear Friends and Students

Today I was reading an article in Asianage named “The True Heroes in Covid-19 battle”! After reading this article, I honestly feel, we appear selfish if we don’t spend a minute saluting these heroes and thank these little creatures in our hearts!

The whole world is gearing up for Vaccination and fight against Covid Virus. However, remember, these vaccines were tested and administered first on mice, rats, rabbits, monkeys, and Syrian hamsters. These animals were given the first Jab of the vaccine. These animals develop immunity closer to human bodies. After all the tests and studies, they would go to sleep forever! They make ultimate sacrifice to save human lives! It is a difficult task for the scientists to put them back to regular health after these tests. Most of the time, they are put to sleep in the most humane way possible! Let us all salute these lifesavers in developing Covaxin or Covishield or any other Vaccine in the world!

While reading this article, it reminds me of the story of Barbarika, the son of Ghatotkach and the grandson of Bheema. He is one of the lesser-known warriors of Mahabharat! He learned the art of warfare from his mother, Maurvi. He received 3 powerful arrows upon Tapasya. However, he has to use these weapons to fight for the weaker side in a battle. When Lord Krishna asked how many days it would take them to finish the war. Bhishma said 20 days, Dronacharya 25 days, Karna 24 days, Arjuna 28 days, etc. However, Barbarika said 1 minute!! Lord Krishna astonished! Lord Krishna asked Barabarika, which side you are going to fight for. Barbarika expressed his desire to fight for the Pandavas as they were the weaker side. (as promised to his guru).

Here is the twist! Lord Krishna revealed the paradox of Barbarik’s impossible promise: The power of the 3 arrows makes him the most powerful warrior on the battlefield, whichever side he joins, it would make the other side weaker. Eventually, he would switch sides continuously, destroys everyone! Lord Krishna gives a benediction to witness even after his head was severed from his body, his head would be in a conscious state. It would be placed on a hill overlooking the battlefield so that he could witness the whole war.

Barbarika, being a true warrior and disciple of Lord Krishna, readily agreed and severed his own head and witnesses the whole battle!!

End of the battlefield, Pandavas asked Lord Krishna, who won the battle? Lord Krishna suggested that Barbarika should be allowed to make that decision as he was a neutral witness to the whole war. To this, Barbarika concluded that it was Lord Krishna alone who was responsible for the Pandava’s victory: his advice, presence of mind, and game-plan were the most crucial!!

Friends,

Who is responsible for Covid Vaccine? To me, these tiny mice, rats, rabbits, monkeys, and Syrian hamsters are lifesavers! They are like Barbarikas of Covid 19 battle!!

Thank You, Creatures! We, humans, are indebted to your sacrifice!!

Your Well-wisher
