This is a mythological characters series wherein I have included few names from our ancient history in a chronological order. In part one, you can read the names from the characters A to G and in the second part, from the characters H to K. The names which I have included are still well known in 21st century. Here you can imagine the height of the aura of these personalities.
| Alphabet | Details |
|---|---|
 | Lakhan or Laxman - The Laxman was the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He was the younger brother of Lord Rama. Laxman joined Lord Rama and Goddess Sita in their exile of 14 years. He devoted these years in guarding and supporting them. In Ramayana, it is mentioned that Laxman didn't sleep for 14 years because Laxman's mother Sumitra told him to guard them with full dedication. |

Mandodari the queen of Ravana. She was a nymph and it was mentioned in Ramayana that Hanuman also mistook her as Sita. Mandodari always showed the right path to Ravana, specially when he abducted Sita. Mandodari was the mother of Meghnada, the most powerful son. Mohini- Another avatar of Lord Vishnu. When the Asura and Dev churning the ocean, then amrit came out. That amrit was not for demons so Lord Vishnu took the avatar of Mohini , a beautiful apasa who took the pot of Amrit from asur and gave it to Dev. |

Narasimha: An avatar of Lord Vishnu. He took this avatar for stopping the evils of King Hiranyakshipa. This avatar is of half man and half lion. This was the fourth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. King Hiranyakshipa got boon that he won't be killed by neither weapon nor supernatural weapon, cannot be killed by any man or animal, neither on Earth nor in sky and neither in the morning nor at night. That's why Lord Vishnu's avatar Narsimha killed Hiranyakshipa in his lap during dusk and with his big nails. Narsimha was neither a man nor an animal. With all those features of a character he was able to kill King Hiranyakshipa. |
 | Omkar - It is sacred sound which gives you peace of mind and also help you to meditate. Apart from this, Lord Ganesh also known as Omkar. |
I believe that when we inculcate good knowledge in our kids then later it help them to think out of the box. Knowledge is not bound with any school or class. Gaining knowledge is just like doing mental exercise.
