"OKA CHINNA KATHA” One Little Story - Heart to Heart Collection

"Oka Chinna Katha" — when Bhagavan intercepts the speeding current of His Discourse with these three Telugu words, meaning, “One little story” all ears are alert, all hearts are a-quiver. For, the story that follows is a flash that illumines, a shower that cools, a joke that tickles, a “tablet” that alleviates, a peep into epic grandeur or pompous absurdity, a poetic parenthesis, an exhilarating prick, a lilt that enlightens, a sugar-coated pill of profundity, a disarming repartee, a volley of raillery on religious rigmarole! It may be a tonic tale of the past or the report of a contemporary comedy. It may be a thrust on theological disputation or a dear little dig at some egoistic dignitary.

The Chinna Katha , if only we ponder over its relevance, is an effective instrument in Bhagavan’s educational process. When He is discoursing , these parables and stories , ever on the wing, hover in flocks in the firmament of His Love. He lets a few fly into our hearts and nestle there, until we fondle and foster them and make them part of our thought and behaviour patterns. Here is a charming, fragrant Chinna Katha, for our delectation, meditation and inspiration…
