Learning Lessons from Laxmana


Today I am going to share few qualities of Laxmana which most of the people are not aware of it. And If we try to implement few of it in our life definitely our relations are going to be perfect and we will be happy for sure.

When Lord Rama with Mother Sita and Laxmana were living in forest after their exile from Ayodhya, Laxmana promised to serve Lord Rama and Mother Sita and left Ayodhaya and His luxury. After some time when Sooparnkha came and proposed Lord Rama and Lord Rama refused saying I have taken vow to keep only one wife better you go to Laxmana and Laxmana also refused by giving his excuse that I am servant of My Brother so you will not get anything from me better you go and marry with Him only.

And this way Sooparnkha understood, these brothers are making fun of me and she run towards mother Sita and Laxmana cuts her nose and she went to Ravana and told about mother Sita and asked him to Kidnap Mother Sita and make his wife.

Ravana made plan to kidnap mother Sita with the help of his maternal uncle Maricha to become a golden dear and attract Mother Sita and this way Sita will ask to Rama to get this dear to me and you run.

Ravana's plan become successful and Lord  Rama runs behind golden dear and after chasing so much he thought let me finish her and he shot arrow and suddenly dear called with the name of Laxmana and Mother Sita. Mother Sita asked Laxmana to go and check your brother is in trouble. Laxmana told to Mother Sita, "My dear Mother you don't need to worry about Lord Rama it is some kind of trick to trap you." But Mother Sita started shouting on Laxmana and told go and check that's my order and this way Laxmana was confused whom order He should follow as Lord Rama has told to take care of Mother Sita and Mother Sita is telling me to go by leaving her.

But mother Sita told some words which Laxmana could not tolerate, so he left mother Sita and went to search Lord Rama. After seeing Laxmana Lord Rama started shouting on him, "Why are you here? Who is caring of Sita?" Laxmana told entire story why he left Mother Sita and come to Lord Rama, but Lord Rama got angry on Laxmana, "Why did not you follow my order, you have done a big mistake." and this way Lord Rama started chastising to Laxmana.

Laxmana was silently listening but did not speak a single word against Mother Sita and Lord Rama but accepted his mistakes even there was not mistakes of him.

This story we must have heard many times, but have we tried to learn lessons from this story and qualities about Laxmana.

If a person has left everyting for someone he loves and if that person blames even not for his mistakes, what do you think? Do you keep further relationship with that person?

Laxmana did not sleep for 14 years and was fully engaged in service of Lord Rama and Mother Sita and after that if Mother Sita and Lord Rama use bad words instead of giving awards, what do you feel? Are we not going to be angry and frustrate?

But Laxmana knew it, What Mother Sita did was also right because she loves Lord Rama and what Lord Rama did was also right because He can not live without Mother Sita. And in 14 years Lord Rama and Mother Sita has given me love of father and mother and if for one day if something happened wrong to me that does not mean they don't love me.

And after Killing Ravana when Mother Sita saw Laxmana she asked for forgiveness of her offend but Laxmana was even humbly said to Mother Sita, "My dear Mother, Mother can give punishment to her child so there is no offend in it."

So, from this story we can learn from Laxmana, if we want a loving relationship to be continued, we must forgive and forget and If you try to see one bad quality in a person then thousands of good qualities, you skip.

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...
