People around me are not so Good?

Often we blame to the people around us they are not so good and how can we tolerate them? But if we are good then this world also looks good just we have to see with glass of compassion, tolerance, devotion, faith and trust.

Here is one small incident I am going to share you from the Ramayana. Vibhishana the younger brother of Ravana the demon king of Lanka was a great devotee of Lord Rama and he always used to chant Lord's holy name and remember pastimes of the Lord all the times.

In Lanka people were full of demonic nature and they were fully involved in meat eating, intoxication, gambling and illicit sex, except Vibhishana.

Even Tulsidas Baba has mentioned the citizens of Lanka in Sri Rama Charit Manas:

लंका निसिचर निकर निवासा। इहाँ कहाँ सज्जन कर बासा।।

Once news spread-ed all over Lanka that Vibhishana is writing the name of Lord Rama on his wall and when Ravana heard about it he personally went to see Vibhishana. After seeing Lord Rama's name on wall Ravana became so angry and shouted on Vibhishana, "How dare you to write the name of my enemy on wall in my own kingdom?"

Vibhishana with folded hand replied to Ravana, "My dear brother, how can I dare to write name of your enemy and your enemy is my enemy, you see it properly I am writing Rama, Ra-means Ravana, Ma-means Mandodari, I keep writing name of beloved brother and your wife to please you."

Hearing this Ravana became very happy and returned back to his palace.

So, here we can see although Lanka was very miserable place to live a person like Vibhishana but he was happily living over there just because he was under protection of Lord's holy name and we see how Hanuman Ji met Vibhishana and helped him to meet Lord Rama.

So, whoever people stay around us does not matter if we keep focused on Lord's holy name then definitely Lord will protect us from all the bad qualities. Instead of blaming people we should focus on our own improvement.

Lotus is the most beautiful flower but it grows in the mud, so be like lotus although people around you are not so good but if you keep yourself happy you will always be most happiest person in the world.

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...

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 ...

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...
