THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A HORSE

  Hello friends ! My name is Tori , and i am a horse .As i am getting old, i m thinking to write my autobiography to live life again   Now that i am getting old and stiff in the joints, i like to mediate while grazing in this pasture,on my foal days. I think that was the happiest part of my life. I had no work to do, and could not run about after my mother, who was a fine white Arab mare, without any restraint  . Most of my time was spent in the fields, where i nibbled the tender grass and capered about,while my mother was steadily grazing But that could not last forever.when i was old enough,the trainer came and , to my great indignation ,fastened a long rope to my head and then began me drive round and round in circles with his long whip.

On my birth i was placed on the lap of my mother , The Federal Bank . Frankly , my brother, Lira , my sister and my extended family members like the Deutsche Mark and the Yen were quite jealous of me . I know my worth. I reveal this secret of mine . I am a form of money held or traded outside the country , in whose c...

They opposed the sacrificed religion of the Vedas and taught Ahimsa. They were called Nastika religions for  they denied the existence of a Universal soul or God, the creator and believed in the naturalistic origin of the world.  Both the religions were founded at almost the same time in the 6th century B.C.                                                               Jainism was founded by twenty four Tirthankars,the last of whom was Vardhamana Mahavira.
