Mrityunjaya's P.O.V.

"Here all! Yadav shreshth Vasudev Krishn is making his entrance!" yelled the gatekeeper and Mamashree Krishn entered the dining chamber

"Parihar!" ordered Jyesht Pitashree, all the guards Das and Dasis left the chamber

"Keshav, you here without any message?" asked Pitashree Yudhisthir

"Dharmraj, I'm here to discuss about the Mayavi Sabha, Rajsuyyajna and... Gurukul." we all were shocked when Mamashree Krishn said Gurukul

"Gurukul, Madhav?" asked Pitashree Arjun

"Yes, Parth. It's time for the Rajkumar to go to Gurukul. I myself have requested Bhagavan Parshuram to teach them along with Pradyumn." said Mamashree Krishn

"Gurudev Parshuram?" asked Jyesht Pitashree

"Yes, Danveer. And he has agreed to it. The Rajkumar must leave tomorrow dawn. And will gain knowledge in Gurukul for thirteen years" said Mamashree Krishn

"But, Madhav why do I get the feeling that isn't the only thing you want to talk about?" asked Pitashree Arjun

"Yes, Parth. That isn't the only thing I'm here to talk about. I want to talk to you all. But I don't want the children to listen." said Mamashree Krishn he looked at Dharmveer, Drikarn, Janavijay, Tejveer and Sarvag

"you go start packing for the journey." said Mamashree Krishn, Dharmveer, Drikarn, Janavijay, Tejveer and Sarvag nodded and left Mamashree Krishn looked at me and gave me a nod

"Er... we'll help them." I said standing up 

"Thank you, Jaya." said Mamashree Krishn, I took Prita, Jagmohini, Vasiya and Madvita out

Two hours later

Mata Tara, Mata Draupadi, Mata Prishti, Mata Sita, Mata Mandvi, Mata Urmila, Mata Vijaya and Mata Saraswati were cooking when Prita, Jagmohini, Vasiya, Madvita and I entered

"Mata." I called they all looked at Prita, Jagmohini, Vasiya, Madvita and me and smiled they walked to us

"Mata, you all make such tasty meals." I praised Mata Tara, Mata Draupadi, Mata Pirshti, Mata Sita, Mata Mandvi, Mata Urmila, Mata Vijaya and Mata Saraswati smiled

"We too what to learn how to make tasty meals." I said, they smiled wider

"Avashya, come sit." said Mata Draupadi, we all sat at a floor table

"Putri, there are three kinds of meals Rajsik, Tamsik and Satvik. Our deeds and thoughts depend on our meals." said Mata Urmila

"How, Maa?" questioned Madvita

"Tamsik Bhojen, are made by killing animals, and this kind of meal consists of violence." said Mata Sita, Prita, Jagmohini, Vasiya, Madvita and I nodded

"And when people eat this meal it doesn't give them happiness and peace." said Mata Vijaya

"Satvik Bhojen, are made not with killing animals but with greens, grains and vegetables, and this kind of meal gives us, satisfaction, happiness and peace. By eating Satvik Bhojen our heart too is Satvik." said Mata Draupadi

"Mata Taru do you know more?" asked I asked, Mata Tara smiled and nodded

"Tamsik Bhojen, this type of meal suits those who have a crude nature and a rough character, and are favoured to be, quarrelsome and intolerant. So, this type of food is not recommended. Satvik Bhojen, this type of meal is cooked with the least amount of spices and without much seasoning. The food is fresh, attractive and healthful, and is cooked in a simple way. So, this type of food is recommended." explained Mata Tara

"Today you five will be cooking." said Mata Prishti

"Oh oka- WHAT!" yelled Prita, Jagmohini, Vasiya and Madvita they glared at me

"Why? Didn't you want to learn how to make tasty meals?" asked Mata Prishti the four of them continued glaring at me

"Actually I was the only one who wanted to learn." I said

"Well, you all have to make it now. Don't worry we'll help you five." said Mata Saraswati
