Compassion!


Hearing the words of Rām, Vibhishana entered the gynaecium in haste & communicated his presence to Sitā thro’ other women. He then went to see the divine lady with his palms joined over his head & humbly spoke to her as follows-O Sitā! Anointed with charming cosmetics & adorned with beautiful jewels if you please mount the chariot, your husband wants to see you


Hearing Vibhishana’s words, Sitā replied-O king of demons! I wish to see my husband even without taking bath. Vibhishana humbly said-You ought to do the bidding of your husband, as he has enjoined you to do


Hearing the words, the virtuous Sitā, regarding her husband as divinity & endowed as she was with devotion to Rām, said-So it be!


Sitā after auspicious bath, put on costly robes & adorned herself with valuable jewels. She then ascended a shining palanquin, covered with exceedingly valuable cloth & guarded by numerous demons. Vibhishana then respectfully escorted Sitā & brought her to the presence of Rām


Approaching the great souled Rām, who was absorbed in thought even after coming to know that Sitā had arrived, Vibhishana offered his obeisance & with great joy announced that Sitā has arrived


Hearing that Sitā had arrived after living long in the abode of a demon, Rām was filled with joy, indignation & also felt miserable, all 3 emotions at the same time. Feeling unhappy on considering with deep thought, the coming of Sitā on a palanquin, Rām said to Vibhishana-Let Sitā duly seek my presence quickly


Vibhishana acting on propriety began to disperse the crowd assembled there to give privacy. Few demons carrying staff walked around dispersing all warriors. Crowds of bears, Vānaras & demons were dispersed from near the palanquin. As they moved away, a great sound erupted


Rām seeing them dispersed on all sides, stopped them out of kindness & said to Vibhishana-Why disregarding me are these people harassed by you? Stop this exertion. They are my own people


Compassion is not helping others with an air of superiority but dealing with a feeling of affection. When we treat others at par with ourselves & help others not by judging them and making them feel bad but treat them with genuine empathy, then we connect without alienating them. No one likes to be looked down upon


Let’s focus morally & connect spiritually seeing the true equality of all living beings in both happiness & distress

  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...
