When competitors praise🎭


Rām said to Shuka & Sarana to carry his message to Rāvan that tomorrow at break of day I will cast my dreadful anger on him & his army, as Indra casted thunderbolt on demons. You are free to go now

Both Shuka & Sarana, thus receiving command from Rām, admired his justice & said-May you be victorious!

They reached the city of Lankā & spoke to Rāvan-O King of demons! We were seized by Vibhishana with the intention of killing us. But Rām, the pious minded & with immeasurable valor, saw us & set us free. Sarana said-where the 4 eminent persons who are equal to the protector of the worlds viz.
1. The valiant & skilled in use of weapons and of proven prowess namely Rām, son of Dasaratha,
2. The illustrious Laxman,
3. The great resplendent Vibhishana &
4. The Vānara King Sugriva, whose valor is equal to Indra,

are stationed at the same place, they can pluck the city of Lanka with its ramparts & arches and transplant it elsewhere, even if all other bears & Vānaras keep aloof

Such is Rām’s form & his weapons, that he can alone overthrow Lankā, with his other 3 companions on standby

The army protected by Rām & Laxman and Sugriva is unconquerable even by all gods & demons. The Vānara warriors too seem invincible. Make peace with them & not War! Return Sita to Rām & be friends with him. Apologize to him & he will pardon you for sure

Hearing these words from Sarana, Rāvan said-I will not return Sitā even if all celestials & demons attack me or even if there is terror from all the worlds. It seems that you were terribly harassed by the Vānaras & hence are thinking out of fear to return Sitā back

Which enemy can defeat me in battle? The illustrious Rāvan, the lord of demons, causing the world to cry, spoke harsh words and then from there ascended the roof of his palace which was shining white like snow and was equal to height several palm trees, with a desire to see the army of Vānaras

As he saw, Rāvan was stupefied with anger. He saw the ocean, mountains, forests & the entire land covered with Vānaras

One’s talent gets actual measure when his competitors praise him. One’s honesty & kindness gets actual measure, when his enemies admit it too. We do well for our team but when we are equanimous for others as well, that is the test of our disposition & character

Huge implication for us!

  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...
