             In every society, there are mythological stories about universe creation. Maori mythology states that the primal couple Rangi and Papa originated the world/universe.
                There are many stories in Chinese mythology for creation the universe as Pangu separated world egg like Hudan the primordial chaos into heaven. There is also Chinese mythological story that Yin and Yang (female and male) are founder of world.
     In earlier Egyptian mythology, the Goose came out of Milky Way and became source of universe creation.
 Finish mythological epic Kalevala states that universe was created from an egg laid by divine duck on the knee of limatar –the goddess of air.
   Greek mythology speaks that in the beginning there was chaos, an amorphous void encompassing the entire universe and surrounded by an un-leading water stream ruled by god Oceanus and then god created  Gaia (Mother earth)  heaven etc.   
         According to Norse Mythology, Fire and Ice Meeting is cause of universe creation.   
In Philippine mythology, supreme God created world and earth. In one mythological story of Philippine tells that the universe was mad because of struggle among many forces.
 There are mentions of universe creation in Vedas, Upnishads, Purans and other Sanskrit classics or later stage the Buddhist and Jain literature.
                         Garhwali-Kumaoni Mythology for Universe Creation
       In Kumaoni -Garhwali folk literature as in Upnishads there is discussion on Universe as in Dhol sagar. There is also discussion on cross fertilization in Garhwali –Kumaoni folklores or in Garhwali folktales as in Champa dali.  The Srishti Nirman Gatha discusses the universe creation and importance of cross fertilization together.

  The above Garhwali folk prose song is starting paragraph of universe creation. The further story about universe creation is as follows
  In the beginning there was void and there was no earth, no sky and no water. The Goddess Parvati was bored by aloofness. Parvati requested God to create universe. Nirankar or formless created female eagle from dirt of his right thigh and created male eagle from the dirt of left thigh. The Name of Female eagle was Soni and male was Jambu. Shiva was shocked as he wanted to create human beings. 
  When Jambu (male eagle) became young he offered to marry Soni. Soni the female eagle became angry as they were brother sister. Jambu started weeping.  Soni  (female eagle) felt sorry for Jamboo (male eagle). She took tears of jambu (male eagle) and drank those tears. Soni (female eagle) became pregnant. Jambu (male eagle) went away from Kailas (where Shiva and Parvati live). Soni (female eagle) left kailas in search of  Jambu (male eagle) and at last she met Jambu. Soni eagle soothed Jamboo. Soni asked the place of delivering eggs. Bothe searched the place but could not find suitable place and came back to Kailas. Soni asked ‘Where to lay egg?” Jambu spread his wing and Soni laid egg on wing. However, the egg broke down. The upper white portion of egg became sky and lower egg portion became earth. The ocean was created by white portion and land by yellow yolk.  This way Nirankar created universe.

                                        By: Bhishma Kukreti

            The present story is related to brave Bhad Madho Singh Bhandari who dug the tunnel to bring water canal up to his village Maletha. Usually, Bhad Madho Singh Bhandari of Garhwal army and Bhad Madho Singh Bhandari of Maleth village are said to be same. However, the history does not match with folk sayings for two great personalities being same.

 मलेथा की कूल:  समाज सेवा गाथा
(Tal-Thadya Geet)

धौळि का छालु पल्ले किनारो,
उंच माँगे मलेथा क सेरो,
सैणु छ, स्वाणु रौंतेलु गौं च।
एक दिन छ्यू भूखो मलेथो,
आज सि पाणि सेरो कुल्यांदो,
तै दिनों छैयु नि स्यो मलेथो।
कोटू गत्थूक गाँव छया,
धान नि नौऊँ कु होंद छैया,
दूर बटी सारि मुंडा मुगैई,
लांद छै पाणि पीणा कु तैइ ।
तब की बात तख रैंदु छयो,
माधु भंडारी मासूर छैयो।

              One day, Bhad Madho Singh Bhandari returned to his village from court. He was tired. Bhad Madho Singh Bhandari asked his sister in law for meal. His sister in law offered him bread without vegetable. Unhappily, he asked vegetable. Sarcastically, his sister in law tells that there is no water canal in his village that the villagers would enjoy vegetable a s spinach, onion, garlic and other green vegetables.
                          Madho Singh Bhandari felt insulted. He tells his sister in law to dig canal. She tells that it is the job of men to dig canal.
            Second day, Madho Singh Bhandari reached to court. The court men insulted him that there is no water canal in his village.
              Madho Singh Bhandari took vow to get water canal in his village.
                There was a hill in between Chandrabhaga River and his village. Bhandari performed necessary rituals. Bhandari took necessary appliances and started digging tunnel to get Chandrabhaga water to his village Maleth. Slowly, slowly he started to cut hill for making tunnel. After watching his hard work, villagers also came to help him.
            One day, he took his son Gaje Singh with him.  He and villagers were busy in cutting the hill for making tunnel. In the mean time a stone ascended on the head of Gaje Singh.  Gaje Singh died there only. He completed the work of tunnel making work on the same day.
              Water started reaching to Maleth from Chandrabhaga River.
              Now Maletha village was able to grow various types of vegetables and rice.
 कसो छ भंडारी तेरो मलेथा ?
गौं मूड़ को सेरो मेरा मलेथा।
गौं मथे मेरा मलेथा।
ऐ जाणू रुकमा मेरा मलेथा।
पाळिङ्गा की बाड़ी मेरा मलेथा।
लासण की क्यारी मेरा मलेथा।

             Madho Singh Bhandari is one the great Indian personalities who showed the world about taking cause till it is finished.

                                         By: Bhishma Kukreti

                        Krishna’s activities are nearer to common man. Therefore Krishna influenced every society and Krishna became hero of every society. In Garhwal-Kumaon, Lord Ram is worshipped as ideal person, therefore less folk literature is created about Rama. 
               There are many folk songs, folklores, folktales and folk saying about Krishna in Garhwal, Kumaon and Haridwar.
   One of the religious or ritual folk songs (Jagar) about Krishna is his winning to Kaliya Nag. The story has clear local color that Krishna advised Kaliya Nag to shift from Gokul to Uttarakhand.

चल ग्वाल बाल भायो , तुम खेला गिंदुवा,
सोना  का गिंदुवा मेरो , विष्णु पटन मढ्यु छ।
सोना का गिंदुवा , चांदी का घुँघर।
हे प्रभु सोबन गेंदुवा तेरो हाथ नि लियेंदु।
भ्वां नि धरेंदु।
तब खेलण जांदा सब कुञ्ज वन मा,
कुञ्ज वन मा खिल्यां बार भांति फूल।
अनमन भांति की औंदे फूल की वासनी,
भौंरा छन गुंजणा , ग्वारी रूणाणी छन,
कि अनमन भाँति की केसर लेला।
सारा कुञ्ज वन मा खेल गेंदुवा।
छट छुटी गेंदुवा जमुना मा पडि गे।
वीं गैरी जमुना मा माछुने घुऴयाळे।
तब विष्णु भगीवान धै लगौंदा।
ग्वाल बाल सब ड़्यार बौड़ी ऐना,
जिया को बाळ जमुना छाल छुटिगे।
तब जिया जिया जसोमति इन बैन बोदी-
सबूका बाला घर ऐन, मेरा कृष्ण नि आयो।
जागदी रै गये सया राणी सत्यभामा।
काली नाग रैंदो तैं गैरी जमुना,
हे मेरा कृष्ण नाग डसी जालो।
कृष्ण भगीवान इन रैन बली,
गाडी दिने गेंदुवा , साधी लाइन नाग।     
                  There was a great snake Kali Nag in Kalidah tank into Yamuna. He had sixteen hundred queens. Once with his shepherd friends, Krishna was playing ball. The ball fell into Kalidah tank. Krishna jumped into Kalidah tank. His friends were afraid and ran away to village. Krishna’s mother Jasoda started weeping madly.

            Krishna reached to court of Kali Nag. He played his flute. The sixteen hundred queens were attracted to beauty of Krishna.
              All snake queens advised Krishna to return back as Kali Nag was very angry snake. Krishna told the queens he would go back only after taking gold ball with silver rings. The queens informed that the ball is into s mouth of Kali Nag who was sleeping. Queen snakes advised him that Kali Nag would flow his deathly poison on him. Krishna did not listen to snake queens. He put his hand into Kali Nag mouth and got the ball out. Kali Nag awoke. The great snake started stirring his fifty two mouthed hoods. Krishna rode on snake hood. Krishna won over the great snake kali Nag. Krishna started dancing over snake hood.
                 Kaliya nag reminded Krishna that he helped his father Vasudev crossing Yamuna when Krishna was born. Kali Nag reminded Krishna that he covered child Krishna by his hood. Krishna advised Kaliya Nag to leave Gokul and shift to Uttarakhand. Krishna blessed Kaliya Nag that Kaliya Nag family would flourish in Uttarakhand and Nag would be worshipped by people there.     
 
             The villagers with Nand and Jasoda came to Yamuna bank. They saw that Krishna was dancing on snake hood. Krishna came out of tank. Everybody was pleased.   
  Kaliya nag shifted from Gokul to Uttarakhand and flourished here. He is our God.
