Enthusiasm!🙋‍♂️


Rāvan ascended his mansion & caught a glimpse of Lankā, with its mountains, groves & forests all covered by countless troops of Vānaras, waiting for war. Seeing the earth made all brown with innumerable screeching Vānaras, he reflected in great perplexity-How can these millions be exterminated? Pondering for long but regaining his confidence & with eyes widened by surprise, Rāvan gazed on Rām & his troops


Meanwhile, Rām delightfully progressed along with the army. He saw Lankā guarded on all sides & thronged with demons. Seeing city decorated with banners & flags, he remembered Sitā with a distressed heart & said to himself-Here is the daughter of Janaka, whose eyes resembles those of fawn, tormented with grief, with a bare ground as her bed & suffering here on my account. Reflecting thus, Rām speedily issued command to the army to destroy enemies forthwith


Hearing words of Rām, the Vānaras vying with one another filled air with their roars, resembling that of a lion. We shall tear asunder Lankā with mountain peaks or with our fists alone, resolved all army generals. Lifting up mountain peaks & huge rocks & plucking various kinds of trees, they stood prepared for the attack. In order to fulfill Rām’s cherished desire, those troops forming themselves in columns began to scale the heights of Lankā, while Rāvan stood gazing


The Vānaras demolished innumerable defensive walls & arches with blows from trees, mountain tops & bare fists. They filled the moats containing water with sand, mountain tops, grasses & logs of wood. The commanders scaled the walls of Lankā, taking with them battalions of Vānaras in millions. The started tearing up the golden arches, broke open the gates & hurled themselves forward springing, leaping & roaring. The shouted-Victory to the mighty Rām & valiant Laxman! Victory to Sugriva protected by Rāghav! and tore up defenses of the city


Generals-Virbahu, Subahu, Nala, Panasa took positions & formed an encampment of multitude divisions. Mighty Kumuda assisted by Prasabha, Shatabali, Sushena seized the east, south & west gates and Rām Laxman & Sugriva the north gate of Lankā. Dhumra & Vibhishana stood by the sides of Rām in protection with millions of others


Rāvan, filled with anger commanded the decamping of his entire army immediately resulting in a tremendous clamor among the demons. Beating with sticks of gold, the demons stirred kettle drums while thousands of sonorous conches blared forth. But the minds of some were muddled for future


Your enthusiasm should be so breathtaking & spectacular that the opponent should stand in awe. Nothing great is ever achieved without enthusiasm. Even with an average skill, if the intent to achieve is intense & the purpose is sacrosanct, the fervor and passion to sale new heights is multifold. It connects people to act as a unit & electrifies the rank


Enthusiasm is a state of mind & inspires action. It is the most contagious of all emotions

  Never Fall down!   Arjun released an Agni weapon that brightly lit up entire sky. Karna invoked a Varuna weapon that quenched the fire by creating clouds with a Vayavya weapon & then released a favourite weapon of Indra that made thousands of arrows issues forth from his G ā ndiva bow   While being pierced all over, Karna countered Aindra weapon with a Bh ārgava weapon & proceeded to kill many of the foremost Pāncāla warriors. Seeing this, Bhima’s anger blazed up like fire. He chastised his brother by saying: O Arjun, how can you allow these great warriors to be killed within your very sight? Please remember how Karna had insulted Draupadi? Give up your indifference & kill him without delay!   Sri Krsna said: Dear Arjun, you must exert your full prowess now, if need be, you can take help from my Sudarshan Cakra!   After momentarily considering the purpose of his appearance in this world, Arjun replied: Lord, with your permission as ...

  Make or break!   When Salya agreed to drive Karna’s chariot only on condition that he must be allowed to speak freely whatever he likes, Duryodhana and Karna readily agreed & thus a contract was made. Duryodhana flattered Salya by comparing him to Lord Brahmā, who formerly became Shiva’s charioteer at the time of destroying Tripura   Duryodhana concluded his long talk by saying: Dear Salya, Parasurāma delivered the entire science of weapons to Karna. Therefore, we must intelligently conclude that Karna cannot really be a sutā’s son. He must be the offspring of a demigod born in a Kshatriya family & then abandoned at infancy. Otherwise, why would Parasurāma agreed to instruct him in the complete use of weapons?   Salya replied: I have heard on numerous occasions the story of how Lord Brahmā became Lord Siva’s charioteer. You should not place so much faith in your plans, because even if Arjun is killed, Sri Krsna will exterminate the entire Kaurav...

Grudge-The heaviest thing to hold! Asvattāma hurriedly yoked horses to his chariot & set out, as Krpa & Krtvarma anxiously followed him. He soon arrived at Pāndava camp & saw a gigantic being with enormous head with flames emanating from his eyes, nose, ear & mouth   Asvattāma fearlessly attacked that awesome being with his celestial weapons but failed in all his attempt. He thought to himself: Krpa had warned me that persons who don’t listen to their elders must lament later. The frustration of my attempt must be due to its inherently sinful nature. I wonder who is this astonishing being that has defeated me. Obviously further exertion on my part will be useless until my destiny is favourable. Let me now take shelter of my worshipful Lord Siva & seek his guidance   Asvattāma got down from his chariot & fervently prayed to Lord Siva offering his body, mind & soul. Lord Siva personally appeared & smilingly said: Dear Asvattāma, there is...
