” Mekala and Ramasoon ”

When clouds thunder and lightnings flash over the sky in Thailand, a Thai child looks up and spreads her tiny hands and shouts: “That is Ramasoon’s axe and Mekala flees with the help of her crystal ball!”

Mekala, a very beautiful nymph, was born in the frothing white foam of the sea. She was young and blessed with bewitching eyes, black locks of hair and a gay poise. She could fly at her will and she often sported in the air and in the clouds with her crystal ball in hand. The crystal ball was her weapon of protection. If she willed and turned the crystal ball, it shot out fearful flashes of blinding light.

As Mekala had a rather quiet time in her palace, she would frequently slip out, fly through the layers of clouds high and higher through the sky and flit about. Often she would be alone. She loved this sport. At other times, she would fly about with her friends of the same age, sparkling with jewels and in bright and colorful clothes. Mekala had the crystal ball at all times, concealed within her clothes.

The soft beauty and charm of Mekala attracted Ramasoon, born in the storm clouds and with rain as his cloak. The greatest friend of Ramasoon was Rahoo, the god of Darkness. Ramasoon always carried his axe as his weapon. If Ramasoon so willed, he called upon Rahoo to create thick darkness all around.

Ramasoon had the evil desire to capture Mekala and carry her away to his den.

One day, Mekala was frolicking amongst the fluffy clouds that lay in clusters high above the sky. Suddenly, there was a thick layer of black and ominous clouds rolling towards her. It was Ramasoon who was rushing to ensnare the lovely nymph, and Mekala understood the look in his greedy eyes. She rushed up to meet the wicked Ramasoon as he kept himself concealed under the cloak of thick clouds, for she could see through his cover with her celestial eyes. She lost no time bringing out her crystal ball and willed that the ball should send out its blinding flashes.

Ramasoon threw his deadly axe to injure Mekala so that she could not flee, and there was a thunderous crash of clouds and deafening sound. But Mekala’s crystal ball did not fail her; the blinding light had made Ramasoon miss his mark. After each flash of blinding light came the sound of the axe’s crash as it missed its mark and slipped down in the layers of dark clouds. Finally there came the heavy rain at Ramasoon’s will and under the cloak of pouring rain Ramasoon withdrew.

Mekala returned to her beautiful palace, undoing her dripping black locks of hair to dry them. The crystal ball was carefully put away.

Despite the danger, Mekala remained undaunted. She continued her sport, but always with her crystal ball. Ramasoon could never give up his infatuation for the beautiful nymph. He often tried to trap Mekala and lame her with his deadly axe. Always, Mekkala escaped with the help of her crystal ball and its blinding flashes of light.

That is why we in the world of men see the flash of lightning when Mekala’s crystal ball flashes blinding rays into Ramasoon’s eyes and hear the deafening crash of thunder as his axe misses its mark. And the rain falls heavily as the defeated Ramasoon withdraws, denied the object of his desire.
