    Raja was a male lion, born and raised in the vast savanna. He was unlike any other lion, fascinated by the sounds of hippie culture, the rhythm of the tabla and the strums of the sitar. His family scoffed at his interests, pushing him to be more like a typical lion.

    Raja felt confined, his spirit yearned for more than just hunting and roaring. One day, he decided to venture out of his den, away from the peer pressure of his lion family.

    In his journey, Raja met a gazelle named Hari. Hari was no ordinary gazelle; he was a devotee of the Hare Krishna movement. His peaceful aura intrigued Raja, and he couldn't resist asking Hari more about his lifestyle.

    Hari preached about the Hare Krishna movement, about love, peace, and unity. Raja felt drawn to this philosophy. He decided to join Hari, embracing a new way of life.

    Raja started dressing differently. He wore an orange robe, shaved his mane, and wrapped a turban around his head. He even drew a bindi on his forehead, signifying his newfound faith.

    The lion changed his name to Raja, meaning king. It resonated with his spirit, making him feel connected to the god Narasimba, who was part lion. He found solace in chanting mantras and meditating.

    Dancing and chanting mantras became a part of Raja's daily routine. He felt more alive than ever. The savanna seemed more vibrant, the air purer, and his heart lighter.

    When Raja returned to his den, his brothers were surprised. They mocked his appearance, laughing at his turban and robe. But Raja remained calm, his faith unshaken.
