Once upon a time an angel Narada(devotee of Vishnu) saw a couple's home, while wandering in the sky. He came down to their house and asked something to eat. The couple as their habit did every thing to please him with good food and all. Narada was very happy of their service and asked boon. The couple had no child so they asked him to bless with child. Narada meditated and he visioned that they their destiny does not support them to have kids; He said the couple that he will pray to lord Vishnu to bless them with a child.
He went to Lord Vishnu and requested Him to bless the couple, but Vishnu replied that because of their past karmas, Couple didn't have luck for a child for not only this birth but the next seventh births. Narada went to the couple and told the situation, and said they can ask another boon like money and other facilities. The couple didn't want any other boon so Narada left them with very sad mood.
Mnay years passed and one day Narada again passed from the same place and amazed to see the seven kids were playing in couples in couple's lawn out side the home. He came down and wondered how this all happened???? The couple answered that one day, a Phakir( Sage, saint, devotee) came to their house, they served him as usual......the Phakir got happy and asked a boon, which according to Narada, they couldn't have in their seven births. The Phkir blessed them with seven kids, and Lo miracles happened, they had seven kids in seven years.
Narad got so embarrassed to listen the whole story that he immediate went to Vishnu and asked the question?? why you refused me and how they got seven kids now when they had no fate. Lord Vishnu answered that when they didn't have any fate of getting Kids you came to me, but when Phakir knew they had no fate, he blessed them with seven kids. I can not oppose my devotees' words so I had no choice left but to fulfill Phakir's boon.
The message is even the Lord respects his disciples' wish and if the Phakir' blessings, he can change the destiny.

Angel Guide
He is an angel named Narad meaning Wisdom giver. he wanders in the whole Universe has ascetic powers and gives spiritual guidance to the believers. He always chants with his musical instruments and his favorite mantra is ....Narayan Narayan..... This is an oil painting and Sage Narada is wandering in the Universe chanting Narayana Narayana............and the lotuses I made for two reasons....one is to balance the painting and the second is Lotus is a favorite flower of Lord Vishnu. we know the lotus stands for beauty, symmetry, whiteness and particularly it's ability, both real and mythical, to stand in the midst of waters without itself getting wet.............this fact of nature linguistically expressed in compound word which all Indian languages treasure. In Sanskrit the word Jal(water) rhymes with Kamal(lotus) and the expression JAL- KAMAL is the standard summary and repeated reminder in all religious books and all religious preaching of the essential attitude of devotion in the midst of waters of life..................."to be in the world but not of the world."
