Recognizing and accepting mistakes is the key to Success

It is the story of Ramayana, when Ravana kidnapped mother Sita and Lord Rama and Laxmana was searching for mother Sita. They met Sugriva king of Kiskindha who was also in the same situation, out of his own kingdom and away from his family and he agreed to help Rama to find mother Sita.

And in Return Lord Rama promised Sugriva, I will give your kingdom and family back to you. Lord Rama killed Sugriva's elder brother Bali and returned Sugriva his empire with his family.

After getting his kingdom and family back, Sugriva forgot his promise to Lord Rama and started enjoying his life. After few months Lord Rama sent Laxmana to go and check why Sugriva had not yet come. Out of anger Laxmana told to Rama, "My dear brother who does not fulfil his promise must be punished, I will kill Sugriva". Lord Rama asked Laxmana,"My dear brother you just go and remind Sugriva for his promise and if he does not remember then you can punish him."

When Laxmana entered the Kingdom of Sugriva with his anger, all the monkeys started going away and seeing this Sugriva's minister went to Sugriva and asked about Laxmana's anger and reminded Sugriva about his promise.

Sugriva accepted his mistakes and ask for forgiveness from Laxmana about he failed in his promise and ask Laxmana to give up His anger. And Sugriva asked his ministers to go and make an announcement, from all the sides soldiers to join us very soon.

This is the story everyone knows it very well, but what lesson we can learn from it? That is most important. We can learn from Sugriva a big lesson in our life, If we commit mistakes, we must accept.

And there are few people who accept their mistakes, but most of them blame others for their own mistakes.

Accepting mistakes make a person successful.

Learning Lessons from Mother Sumitra

In this world mother and child relationship is above all the relations. The foremost responsibility of a mother is to place her child in a proper Krishna Consciousness environment by which he/she becomes pure devotee of the Lord. Often mothers blame for their children, they are not behaving well and they don't respect them at all but the reason behind this is how much we are doing for them. Being a parent means to sacrifice for children. In modern age mother has no time to care of her children and think they can give all kinds of facilities by just giving money. And when the child grows up and by the time he/she do not get the association of mother and teachings they become free to do what they want to do. Mother means to care for her children what they need and give love and teach them how to love and respect others. And if we think we just send our children to schools/colleges and they will be perfect in all so they cannot. Its the duty of the mother to give valuable time ...

Laxmana - The Hidden Hero of Ramayana

In our previous post we have already mentioned Ramayna is not an ordinary story but a complete learning lesson from each & every characters. Laxmana is one of the character of Ramayana, who was completely hide himself to glorify from others, and away from honor and dishonor. Laxmana teaches us how to maintain character, competency, selfless service, and equal in both the situation either you are praised or you are abused. If you have fixed your aim, then there is no question of disturbance what people say to you. But when we get into the deep of Ramayana and see the value of Laxmana, We see he was the hero after Lord Rama in the whole story. Laxmana represents  who carry out Laxmi with him and serve Lord Rama by his good will. Laxmana always eager to serve Lord Rama, when Lord Rama was about to go for exile for fourteen years Laxmana immediately stood up & ready to go along with Lord Rama although he was not asked to go to exile. Laxmana took vow, he will not sleep for four...

TIT for TAT OR Tolerate That

Many of the times we go through situations where we get confused what to do now? According to our Vedic Scriptures we should keep three things in our mind and accordingly react or respond on situations. If you can change it: Situations comes in your life or brought by some people and you know if it is completely against our religious principle, then you must stand against it and try to change the situations. When Hauman Ji reached in Lanka and Lankini the guard of Lanka tried to stop Him and because it was against the religious principle as his own master kidnapped others wife, Hanuman Ji punched on her mouth by His left hand and move on. Same way if you have power and know things are going against Dharma, you should change the situations else you have to suffer sinful reactions of it. If you can not change it: Sometimes situations are completely against us and we are not even able to change it then that time we must accept the situation and try to tolerate it.  You don't believe...
