YAYADI

YAYADI His father, an old man, wanted to enjoy life all over again; so he asked Yayadi to transfer his youth to the old man! So Yayadi became old and wise. Such behavior was not uncommon. Bhishmacharya remained a bachelor, to enable his father to marry Ganga Devi. There is nothing wrong in living long enough to fulfil our mission, but living only to enjoy life is disgusting. We must grow with the years. Childhood is enchanting, without the worries of youth. Youth is enjoyed in other ways. So too, old age has its charms. People respect you and come to you for guidance. Experience of a life time is very invaluable. Eternal life can be boring!
