Blessings!


Hearing auspicious words spoken by Rām, Shiva said following beautiful words-O Rām! The lotus eyed, long armed, broad chested, annihilator of enemies & excellent among those who uphold the cause of virtue. I congratulate you on achieving the task of killing Rāvan. Fortunately, the fear born due Rāvan’s atrocities which increased severe darkness for the entire world, has been removed by you on battlefield


You should now comfort depressed Bharata & the illustrious Kausalya as well as Keikeyi and Sumitra. You’ve now got the sovereignty of Ayodhya, bringing delight to your friends, glorifying Ikshvaku clan & getting opportunity to perform horse-sacrifice & to grant riches to Brahmanas. King Dasaratha, you father in this mortal world, a highly venerable person is seated on an aerial car. Having been delivered by you, the glorious king obtained abode of Indra. You can now offer your respectful salutation to him along with Laxman


Hearing the words of Shiva, Rām & Laxman offered their humble obeisance to their father, who was seated on an aerial car and was blazing in his own splendor, clad in brilliant garments. King Dasartha was filled with excessive delight to see his son, who was dearer to him than life. Placing him in his lap & embracing him in his arms, he said-O Rām! Separated from you, the heaven is not a liking to me, nor the respect given by celestials. I am telling truth


Today, as I see you, it’s a great joy for me to know that your enemies have been destroyed & you have fully gone through the period of exile of 14 years. O Rām! The words uttered by Keikeyi to send you into exile, is still imprinted in my heart. Today seeing you in fine fettle with Laxman & embracing you, I now stand rid of my sorrow, as the Sun is freed of mist


O great souled son! I’ve been redeemed by you. I recognize you now to be the Supreme person, duly enjoined here by rulers of celestials like Brahmā, Shiva & others. Kaushalya will indeed be blessed to see you when you would return home from forest


Blessings are so transformational. When we receive blessings from others, if we count them and its potency, then we feel enriched. We should receive blessings with an intent to pass it on to others, we ourselves should become blessing for others


Whatever we have got is all by the mercy of the Supreme Lord and thanking him for that brings humility & gratitude. We are chosen to get it with the purpose of inner contentment & outward contribution. By our habit to seek blessings from all, we see good in others & appreciate even a small help from them. Even the wrongs done by others are blessing in disguise for our upliftment


Count your blessings & discount them on others

  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...
