Bharata - A Symbol of Unconditional Tolerance

In Ramayan, Bharata is the only character who tolerated more than required. People may say in this world, there is a limit of tolerance and up to one extent it is enough to tolerate. But if we see from the life of Bharata how much he tolerated, we see our tolerance is nothing in comparison to them.

When mother Kaikeyi asked King Dasratha for boons, forest for fourteen years for Lord Rama, and his son Bharata to be the King of Ayodhya. King Dasratha left his body because he was very much attached to Lord Rama and he was unable to bear the separation from Lord Rama.

When Bharata come back to Ayodhya and people of Ayodhya started doubting on Bharata he is the one who sent Lord Rama to exile. He is the main culprit. 

Bharata went to mother Kaushalya, mother Kaushalya refused to talk to him, he went to all sages they all turned their faces from Bharata.

They all thought he is the one who made plan to exile Lord Rama for kingdom. 

Now, Bharata thought there is at least one person who can understand to me, and finally he went to King Dasratha palace but there no one he found. 

He asked about his father, everyone says your father already told about you not to touch his body.

Bharata understood there is no one in this world who can understand what is in my heart except Lord Rama. 

He went to Lord Rama, Lord Rama already told Bharata without even saying Bharata something, "My dear brother, I know you are pure hearten person and there is no fault of yours what had taken place."

In eyes of Bharata tears were flowing continuously, he fell down in the lotus feet of Lord Rama. Lord Rama take Bharata and embrace him.

This is not even sufficient, when Bharata return to Ayodhya he took up a vow I will not stay in Ayodhya till the time Lord Rama will be back to Ayodhya.

He went to Nandigram and dig and make place to stay there, without eating foods and grains, he even did not like to show his face to others as he was thinking himself accused of Lord Rama.

Bharata is the character of Ramayana who teaches us a level of tolerance, more we tolerate more Lord reciprocate to us.


Jai Sri Rama!

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 ...

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.

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...
