Is crow a time traveler ?

 A time traveler crow of Hindus !


  We all know that after dying a Hindu, there was a ritual to observe by his relatives called 'pind-daan'.
In this ritual Hindus feed their dead relative or parents soul by feeding crows.

 Do you know why crow among so many birds ?




 In a famous Hindu scripture  named "Rāmacaritamānasa" , there was a character tales the story of 'Ramayana' to 'Garuda' in a form of a crow his name was 'Kakabhushundi'.


 'Kakbhushundi' was originally a member 'Sudra' class of 'Ayodhya'. He was a great devotee of Shiva' but for some disrespect to lord Vishnu he got cursed. A sage called 'Lomasha' a pure admirer of lord Vishnu, cursed 'Kakbhushundi'
to turne into form of a crow and see every Avatar of lord Vishnu for multiple time. He can't recover from the curse until he respect lord Vishnu and understand 'Vishnu-maya'. So it means after seeing every Avatar of lord Vishnu 'Kakbhushundi' go to the past and see again and again. In 'Ramacaritamanasa' 'Kakbhushundi'said that he seen Ramayana 11 times and Mahabharata 16 times. So its basically time travel .

      Let's come to the first point about feeding crows .

   Hindus believe that still now  'Kakbhushundi' can't recover from his curse so he still with us and waiting for lord Vishnu's next Avatar, and they fed the crow because they think after seeing after seeing all Avatar the crow go to the past and feed their dead relative or parents when they were alive .
