Description
Once, Akbar declared that whoever will be able to read the other person's mind and voice his thoughts properly will be awarded five thousand gold coins. Astrologers and noblemen from all across the country came to undertake the test but the ministers of Akbar's court would deny the reward for everyone. They will change their mind at the last minute and even if someone guessed correctly, they would reply "No, No! I was not thinking about this. This is wrong"   Finally, a Brahmin who was an expert in this decided to take on the challenge. He has understood the tricks of the ministers that they did not want anyone to win. So he went directly to Birbal for help and Birbal gave him the task of making Birbal's astrological chart just by looking at his face. The Brahmin was exemplary great in his skill and completed the task effortlessly. Birbal was very pleased and decided to help him out.    The Brahmin then went to the court and accepted Akbar's challenge. When Akbar asked what’s going on in the mind of each nobleman there, Brahmin said," All the ministers are thinking of Akbar's long life, protection of his throne and well being of the kingdom." Everyone had to agree to his answer as no one dared to demean the king. Akbar was very pleased with the Brahmin and asked him a second question. The boy again answered with intelligence and Akbar happily offered him five thousand gold coins.   www.chimesradio.com  FB: https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChimesRadio
