Just when Shakru was about to make another prediction to Mukesh, suddenly the little secretary Priti came to report in a panic but with great joy: "Boss, boss, the guru is here!"

"Guru? What guru?" Shakru realized that he had said something wrong and quickly changed his words: "Which guru is here?"

"Meenakshi's guru has come." The Swaminarayan in Priti's mouth refers to the Meenakshi temple in the center of Madurai, one of the seven holy cities of Hinduism. The most prestigious Hindu temple in India is also an outstanding representative of South Indian architecture, sculpture, painting and other arts. Pilgrims flock here from all directions every day. Hindus believe that worshiping at Meenakshi Temple is as sacred as bathing in the Ganges.

However, Shakru was still very puzzled. Why did this South Indian monk come to find him? Although he was confused in his heart, he did not dare to lose his etiquette on the surface. He looked at Mukesh and said, "Since Meenakshi's guru is here, let's go out to greet him!"

Mukesh nodded and said: "Well, this is natural, but why did he come to you? Do you have any dealings with them?"

"I am also wondering about this matter. Let alone having any dealings with them, I have never been to Madurai." Shakru complained.

When he arrived at the door, Shakru discovered that although it was indeed a monk from the Meenakshi Temple, he was not a guru. According to Buddhism, he was just a knowledgeable person who was responsible for the external affairs of the temple. , but this intellectual named Chitra is very enthusiastic. As soon as he saw Shakru, he took the initiative to greet him: "Are you Shakru, Mr. Pandit? It's really an honor for me to meet the successor of the ritual divination that has been lost for hundreds of years!"

Shakru hurriedly said modestly: "Master, that's really a compliment. I only know a little bit about it." Although Shakru knew clearly that Chitra was not worthy of the title of guru, he still had to use the honorific title.

Sure enough, Chitra waved her hands as soon as she heard the word "guru": "I can't be called a guru, but I am here at the instruction of guru Tanquier."

Shakru still knows the name of Master Tanquier. His status is equivalent to that of the abbot of the Meenakshi Temple, but he rarely does anything. He only occasionally shows up during some major ceremonies. But the question is, what does this great monk want to do with him?

Seeing that Shakru was in a daze, Mukesh quickly smoothed things over and said: "Let's not just stand at the door and talk. Guru Chitra, please come inside." Then he ordered Priti: "Priti, go Prepare fragrant tea and snacks." (Guru is an honorific title for a Hindu monk, but it is one level lower than guru.)

After being reminded by Mukesh. Shakru then came to his senses and welcomed Chitra into the office. After drinking tea and exchanging pleasantries, he asked, "I wonder what Master Tanquier's orders are?"

Chitra did not answer but asked: "I wonder which sect Mr. Pandit believes in?"

Let me briefly explain here. Although more than 80% of people in India believe in Hinduism, in fact Hinduism is not unified. It does not have a pope who has been passed down from generation to generation in the Vatican like Christianity, or like Tibetan Buddhism. That way there is a sum that can be reincarnated indefinitely. Hinduism is actually extremely chaotic internally, with numerous sects. They criticized each other endlessly.

One of the main reasons for this is that there are too many main gods in Hinduism. Unlike other sects, Hinduism is a religion with multiple main gods. There are three largest main gods, namely Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. These three shoulders are even on one side. , regardless of top or bottom. But there is a difference in folk beliefs. Some people think that Shiva is very powerful, and he can shoot out the Ganges River with one shot. How amazing is that? He once deceived the devil to go to hell; some people think that Brahma is the most powerful.

As a result, Hinduism is roughly divided into three sects, namely Brahma sect, Vaishnavism sect and Shiva sect, and then each major sect is gradually divided into several small sects. For example, the Shiva sect is divided into seven major branches: the Sacred Shiva sect, the Kashmir Shiva sect, the Shaktism sect, the Beast King sect, the Mercury sect, the Lingayada sect, and the Kapalika sect. For example, Xingli sect is divided into left Taoist sect and right Taoist sect. In short, they are extremely numerous and chaotic.

But the three most powerful sects at present are Vaishnavism, Shiva sect and Shaktism sect which is independent from Shiva sect. Meenakshi Temple is a standard Shiva temple. (It is said that this goddess Meenakshi is the wife of Lord Shiva, and they also gave birth to two children.)

Although Shakru is a Hindu, neither the current Chinese soul nor the young Shakru is a devout believer. The reason why he believes in Hinduism is mainly to enjoy the treatment of a Brahmin, so he has never joined at all. No matter what specific branch of the sect, Shaklu's father followed the path of asceticism. He only focused on cultivating himself and did not interfere with little Shaklu's choice at all.

So Shakru replied: "This, there is no specific sect yet, I believe in all three major gods."

Chitra said oh, then looked at Shaklu with deep meaning and said: "This morning I received a call from Master Tanquier's direct disciple, saying that he wants to accept you as his disciple, and that you can practice at home. I wonder if you are willing, Mr. Pandit?”

This news was like thunder on the ground, shocking both Mukesh and Priti. You must know that famous masters like Tanquier rarely accept disciples. Many people have broken their knees to get such a thing. Opportunity, but now he has personally said that he wants to take Shaklu as his disciple, and actually allows him to practice at home. This is like pie in the sky!

Just when everyone thought that Shakru would definitely agree in a hurry, Shakru shook his head and said: "Thank you Master Tanquier for your favor and love, but I think such a major life event still needs to be carefully considered. Then I will make a decision, so please, Guru Zirat, can you wait for me for a few days and then give you a reply?”

Although he was a little surprised by Shakru's reply, Chitra, who is well versed in the world of people, still smiled heartily and said: "It should, it should. How can such a major life decision be made at once? Then I will go back and wait for Pan." Good news for you, Mr. Dieter!"

ps: Everyone can take a guess, why did Tanquier accept Shaklu as his disciple?
