GAYA 
The holy Pitru Kshetra

As people visited this place and worshipped in temples, they turned sinless in due course. In consequence, Yama, the God of Death found himself jobless and his personnel without routine duties - hell was deserted an absolute silence substituted the soul searing and ear-splitting cries of the sinners, during the process of torturous punishments. It was now for Brahma to restore the world to the old order; for then should not be light always; nor life without grief be worthy c ambition? Would not life find itself corroding, if there is righteous ness in surfeit. Man would vegetate, if ambitions are realised a mere volition.

Deciding to maintain equilibrium, Brahma embarked upon performing a great sacrifice. When searched for the place fittest Gaya Kshetra was found to be ideal and suitable in all respects. The humanist Gaya readily consented, when broached the topic b5 Brahma. Soon Gaya's body was laid out with his head pointing towards the North and feet to the South.
