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!

Life is a preparation, death is an examination

We participate in so many exams in our life, and get the results as per our preparation for that exams. But most of the exams we have option, whether to attempt it or not? But there is one exam in our life which we may ignore saying we will see when it would come in our life, but we all have to attempt we don't have any choice, whether we are poor,  rich,  educated or illiterate. Srila Prabhupada used to say, this life is our preparation how we are preparing our-self for coming exam.  Because that exam has no prior time table, no time period, no grace marks, and no cheat sheet allowed. And you may be surprise to know, all our activities are recorded by Yamduta for our each and every moments with evidence. Yes, Yamduta will show your answer sheet and you can review it, whether he has marked you in correct way or not? You are successful, if you are passed your exams but if you are failed then you don't know when you will have to reattempt that exam (it could be after 84 lac...

Real meaning of Success

In today's world everyone is looking for success and for that by hook or by crook they want to achieve it. After getting that achievement they need more and more and if they do not get they become frustrated. And we see more of the so called successful people at some level they are not able to tolerate the failure and end up their life. So, here we are going to discuss, what is the real meaning of success? First of all we must understand, Success is not a destination but a journey. In our life we may consider anything of success, but it means opportunity to implore our self more. Definition of success changed as per our situation and time as a child, think I will be successful if I get good marks in my exam and the same child after getting good marks started thinking I will be successful if I get a good job. So we can see it is not fixed at some point we think if we get that thing I may be successful but after getting it into our definition of success got changed. Success is...
