Achieve The Impossible !


Nala said to Rām, I’m capable of constructing a bridge across the ocean. I together with other foremost of Vānaras will start building the bridge across the ocean now

Agreed by Rām, hundreds & thousands of Vānara heroes jumped in joy on all sides & rushed towards the close-by forest. They broke rocks & trees & dragged them towards the sea. They started collecting all types of trees like Sāla, Asvakrna, Dhava, Bamboo, Kutaja, Arjuna & others. Vānaras with mighty strength uprooted elephant sized rocks & transported them with mechanical contrivances towards the sea. As they threw the boulders into the ocean, its waters soared up towards the sky & gushed back. The rocks & trees befalling on all sides, perturbed the ocean. Some Vānaras drew up long ropes to keep the rocks in straight line

Nala finalized the design & initiated building the monumental bridge in the middle of the ocean. Some Vānaras were holding poles for measuring the bridge & others collected material. Reeds & logs were fastened together to form part of the bridge. All Vānaras were running hither & thither to arrange & contribute

On the first day, 14 yojanas of bridge was constructed & all were thrilled to see the outcome of their efforts

On the second day 20 yojanas were constructed more with the mighty efforts of all

On the third day 21 yojanas of the bridge was additionally constructed speedily

On fourth day 22 yojanas were made &

On fifth day balance 23 yojanas of the bridge up to the shore of Lankā was built

Nala, the strong & illustrious son of Vishwakarma, excellently built the bridge across the sea as his father would have built it. That beautiful bridge shone brightly like a milky way of stars in the sky. With the desire to uphold the marvel, celestials along with Gandharvas, Siddhas & Sages came in droves & stood up in the sky. They appreciated the effort to build this bridge 10 yojanas wide & 100 yojanas in length

The Vānaras taking long & short leaps shouted in joy. All other beings saw that construction of the bridge across the ocean as unimaginable, impossible & wonderful, causing their hair to stand on end in amazement

A monumental task is speedily achieved when the participants are enthused by a higher purpose binding them together

It always seems impossible until it is done

Thoughts pls? #gameoflife

  Victory! It was early in morning as both sides awaited the rising of Sun, a brisk wind carried drops of water & thunder was heard, although not a cloud was seen in sky. After some time, the wind picked up so that not only was there a dust storm, but even small pebbles were blown here & there. Meteors fell from the sky & earth trembled. When the Sun rose, it lacked its usual splendor. And yet both armies looked magnificent & all warriors appeared jubilant in anticipation When Maharaj Yudhisthira saw the vast Kaurava army with Bhisma in its midst, he became disheartened & his face became pale. He said to his brother Arjun: I don’t think that we have a chance for victory. The vast army containing so many illustrious warriors appears impenetrable Arjun said: Dear brother, you must remain confident, knowing that even though we are inferior in numbers, victory is always with the righteous. You have forgotten that Lord Krsna is protecting us? Sri Krsna is the Supreme Per

  Principles to fight & die for! Arjun had Uttara halt his chariot at some distance from Kaurav army to survey the opposition. He thought that if he could simply vanquish Duryodhana, other Kauravas would automatically desist. But he noted that Duryodhana was absent. Arjun ordered Uttara: Avoiding the Kaurav army, take the road to Hastināpur so that we can overtake Duryodhana and retrieve the plundered cows   From Arjun’s course, Krpā could understand his intention & so he had ordered the entire Kaurav army to go & protect Duryodhana. Meanwhile as Arjun approached the army, he covered the entire sky with his showers of arrows so that Kaurav soldiers were thrown into confusion   Taking advantage of this, Arjun ordered the creatures on his flagpole to roar more loudly while he twanged his bow & blew his conch shell, causing the earth to tremble. At this time the Kaurav army was stunned with fear & so Arjun took the opportunity to make the cows turn back towards Virāta’

  Humble! Parasuram laughingly accepted Bhisma's challenge by saying: It is my good fortune that this opportunity to fight has come to me of its own accord. I can assure you that your mother, Ganqa-devi, will weep this very day seeing vultures eating your dead body Bhisma respectfully bowed down before Parasuram & went to inform Satyavati of the impending duel. After receiving his stepmother's blessings, he mounted his silver chariot drawn by white horses & set out. He was dressed completely in white & he wore a white crown. Overhead was placed a white umbrella & he was fanned by white camaras Bhisma & Parasuram soon arrived at Kurukshetra, eager to display their prowess. Seeing Parasuram coming before him, Bhisma blew his great white conch shell. At that time, he noticed how all the chief demigods & sages had assembled in sky to witness the battle. Parasuram was accompanied by numerous sages, & they surrounded the battlefield to watch Just as fighti
