Be humble & Rise!


Laxman drenched in blood, felt rejoiced on having killed Indrajit in combat as a service to Rām. He offered salutations to Jāmbavan, Hanumān & Vānar chiefs and quickly came to Rām & Sugriva. Offering obeisance, he stood besides his brother & said in murmuring low tone about Indrajit's demise. Exuberant Vibhishana came forward & said in loud tone-Tormentor Indrajit’s head has been chopped off by great souled Laxman


Hearing this Rām was overcome with immeasurable joy & said-O Laxman, well done! I feel gratified. An arduous task has been achieved. The killing of Indrajit is steppingstone to our victory. Smelling the head of Laxman, who had augmented his fame & yet was feeling shy hearing himself being praised, Rām lovingly drew him close & placed him on his lap with affection, embraced & tenderly gazed upon him


Rām said-You’ve indeed severed right hand of Rāvan & I'd like to thank Vibhishana & Hanumān too for their support. In 3 days & nights, Indrajit has fallen & now Rāvan will indeed come forth now with a powerful battle-array for revenge. By encircling him, I’ll kill him as he comes distressed after death of his son. Laxman, with you as protector, neither Sitā nor this entire earth is difficult to obtain


Rām called Sushena & requested him to attend wounded Laxman. Let all arrows piercing his body be taken out. Also take care of all others wounded in battle. As commanded, Sushena healed Laxman & all & restored to their original disposition. All felt joyful!


Meanwhile Rāvan’s counsellors hurriedly reported the matter of Indrajit’s killing to him. O King! Your majestic son has been killed by Laxman with the help of Vibhishana. He who was unbeatable in combat, who conquered Indra, has been killed now. Hearing the news, Rāvan swooned & fell unconscious as if dead


Regaining consciousness after a long time, Rāvan confounded as he was with sorrow on account of his son’s death, lamented & said-Alas! My child of extraordinary might is dead, He was death personified but is now overcome by mighty Laxman. I’m sure all celestials & sages can now sleep comfortably & peacefully. Bereft of Indrajit, this entire earth seems so lonely to me. My son! where did you go, leaving Lankā, me, your mother, your wives & all of us? You should’ve done last rites for me but now it is reverse


Multiple lessons about humility, the king of values in one’s nature. While getting recognition & reciprocation for our efforts is a natural human longing, but we often in this uncaring don’t receive it. If we are dependent on it, which is beyond our control then we disempower ourselves to execute our responsibilities


The motivation to persevere in doing our part is humility, by which we connect to self & to higher powers, and be focused on serving. There is a sublime joy in having a positive service attitude by which we make huge contribution based on merit without any dependence on externals. Rise above by lying low

  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...

Real compassion! Duryodhana who was hiding inside the lake, became very depressed hearing the bitter words from Yudhisthira, but since there was no alternative, he finally made up his mind to accept Yudhisthira’s challenge & fight. He said: I’m only one, whereas you Pandavas are many. Therefore, pls do not demand that I fight with all of you at once. Kindly allow me to combat you one at a time. In that way I will be able to kill all of you & thus repay the debt to the great warriors who died for my sake   Yudhisthira said: O Duryodhana. It is very commendable that you have accepted my challenge. Now you can choose whichever one of us you would like to fight with the choice of weapons will be yours. If you are able to kill any one of us Pandavas, you will be given back your kingdom. Otherwise, if we kill you, you will attain a heavenly destination   Duryodhana said: You have amply displayed your noble character by allowing me to fight against only one opponent...
