Solar Eclipse and Story behind it

Modern science believe that when moon planet overlap Sun planet then it is known as Eclipse but as per our Vedic scriptures there is one invisible planet Rahu which covers Sun planet then it is Eclipse.

There is a story behind it when Demons and Demigods agreed for churning the Ocean for nectar. 

Lord Vishnu in the form of Mohini (Lady) appears to distribute the nectar and She gave nectar only to demigods and there was one demon changed his form to demigod sits in between Sun and Moon.

While distributing this demon received the nectar from Mohini but immediately Sun God understood he is not demigod but demon and informed Mohini.

Lord Vishnu appear in his original form and cut his head by Sudarshana but meantime Rahu drank nectar and his head portion got immortal.

Lord Brahma declared Rahu as planet, since Sun and Moon informed to Vishnu about him, he takes revenge from them when he get chance.

Because of his demonic nature when he cover Sun it's rays become poisonous and negative energies spread all over the world.

This is the time when we can chant Lord holy names and ask for help of Sun God, we should not go outside as this rays are very harmful for skin and eyes. 

We should not eat anything and eatables should be properly  covered. After eclipse gets over we must take bath to remove negative energies.

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.

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...
