curse of the gatekeepers

 Jaya and Vijaya were the two gatekeepers of  Lord Vishnu they were extremely devoted to him and  always followed his instructions. soon they began to have pride ` and became very arrogant to people. One day , the Sanant Kumaras  went to Vaikuntha to visit Lord Vishnu . That time Jaya and Vijaya refused to let them in . This Angered the Kumaras. They cursed them to be born as human beings.  Jaya and Vijaya fell at their feet  and begged mercy from them. The Kumaras told that it now up to Lord Vishnu to help them . So the two of them went to Vishnu . Vishnu  told them that the curse cannot be removed . He gave them two options . Either they can be born 6 times as his devotees or be born 3 times as his enemies . Jaya and Vijaya could not bear being away from their lord for 6 lives, So they agreed to be born 3 times as his enemies . Vishnu agreed and sent them down to earth. Jaya incarnated as  Hiranyakashyapu, Ravana, and Shisuplala who were killed by Lord Vishnu 's  Narsimha , Rama and Krishna avatars respectively. Vijaya was reborn as  Hiranyaksha, Kumbakarna and Dantavarka who were killed by Vishnu 's  Varaha  , Rama and Krishna avatars respectively.

 Have you tried dropping a steel bolt in a bucket of water ? If no, so here is what happens. The moment the bolt hits the surface of the water, it begins to sink.

Now you know the secret of the sinking  bolt and floating ship.
