Runa

Runa means repaying the debt. Runa is a very vast topic and cannot be covered in an article or two.
This debt (Runa) may be in the form of materials, deeds, feelings.

Generally we hear about
Maatru Runa: Debt of the Mother
Pithru Runa: Debt of the father
Annadaata Runa: Debt of those who have provided food
Ashraya Runa: Debt of those who have provided shelter
Nelada Runa: Debt of the motherland
Guruvina Runa: Debt of the knowledge given by the teacher
Neerina Runa: Debt of the water bodies which provided water

Repaying these debts may take place in this birth or next birth.
Runa is mentioned in Epic stories such as Mahabharatha. Runa is also mentioned in Vedas, Puranas and ancient scriptures which have existed since thousands of years.
In Mahabharatha, Karna repays the debt of his mother (Maatru Runa) by sacrificing his own life.
In Ramayana, the squirrel helps Rama to construct the bridge to Sri Lanka. Rama repays the debt by displaying love and affection (Preeti Runa) to the squirrel by petting its back.

Hence, having born as human beings we should constantly be aware of what we take and what we provide and try to repay the debts as much as possible in this life.
None of us can achieve Moksha unless our Runas are completely repaid.
Jai Gurudeva datta

She - A woman

A family where women were considered men if they had given birth to a male child. She received the portent and tried to impress them but, the only way to impress them was to starve and become lame. "I was not born for this" she thought. She was isolated for the rest of her life for she was a woman. Jahnavi.K.J written for Lillie McFerrin's five sentence fiction .

Zodiac signs

Zodiac signs' dictionary meaning is: "an imaginary area of the sky containing the positions of the sun, the moon and the main planets, divided into 12 equal parts, named after 12 groups of stars. It is interesting to see how these stars effect the life of each individual living on Earth. This study of stars is an ancient science which rises curiosity in everyone. The study depends on the date of birth of the individual in the western countries and on the birth star in the Hindu astrology. The zodiac signs plays a vital role in match making and other aspects in Indian arranged marriage. Some people have strong beliefs in the forecast of these zodiac signs. However I do not believe in the predictions of the zodiac signs :) Jahnavi Participating in A to Z challenge
