šŸ™‹‍♂️Bravery!


As Vānaras saw demon Dhumraksha coming forth on battlefield, they roared with joy to start war again. A highly tumultuous battle ensued between them & they slayed each other with uprooted trees, lances & maces. Enraged demons paralyzed Vānaras with sharp frightful arrows piercing straight as wings of eagle. While being torn asunder with maces, spears, hammers & tridents, mighty Vānaras fearlessly accomplished their tasks with an excitement born out of anger


Vānaras roared aloud & harassed valiant demons, crushing them with rocks & tearing them with their teeth. Some demons were perturbed with their standards crushed; their swords snapped & chariots overturned. Crushed by big rocks thrown by Vānaras, the earth was scattered with corpses of great elephants & horses with their riders. Vānaras rushed upon demons, flinging themselves upon them with great force & scratching their faces with sharp nails


Demons fell on ground with blows of fists, feet, teeth & uprooted trees by Vānaras. Seeing his army routed, Dhumraksha in anger started bloodshed with his spear & axe & mighty battle assumed most awful proportions with destruction all over. With bowstrings as the tuneful lute, neighing of horses as a measure rhythm & trumpeting of elephants as vocal music, whole battle resembled a symphony. Dhumraksha wielding a bow in his hand, laughed at battle-front, made Vānaras run away to all quarters by shower of his arrows


Seeing his army thus attacked & tormented, Hanumān was enraged & turned towards him, taking a gigantic rock in his hands. Equal in strength to his father(wind-god), with eyes inflamed with anger, he flung the rock on the chariot of Dhumraksha. Seeing the befalling rock, Dhumraksha lifted his mace hurriedly, jumped down speedily from chariot & stood on earth. Shattering his chariot with its wheels, its pole, its crest along with banner & bows, that rock rolled down to ground


Hanumān after breaking the chariot, destroyed demons with trunks of trees furnished with their branches. Driving them away, Hanumān broke off the peak of a mountain & ran towards Dhumraksha, who in turn lifted his mace & ran towards Hanumān. Dhumraksha with an outrage, brought down that mace studded with countless spikes on the head of Hanumān, who endowed with an energy like that of wind, was in no way disturbed by that blow but in turn struck Dhumraksha on the middle of his skull with his rocky peak


All limbs of Dhumraksha were shattered & he soon fell on the ground like a mountain crumbling. Seeing Dhumraksha killed, the surviving demons were frightened & left to return to Lankā


Bravery is the audacity to be unhindered by any circumstances. We all need to be brave, take risks & see the unexpected happen. When one knows & is convinced about the purpose of his actions (& the consequences of his inaction), he would extend himself beyond his limits with fearlessness


Our fate lives within us,we only have to be brave enough to see it

  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...
