There are so many qualities like love, compassion, or anger, which are in him that you ca...

...enotes faith. Without faith in your existence, you cannot live even for a moment in the world. Truth, sacrifice and righteousness constitute humanness. Truth is neti (morality), dharma is reti (code of conduct), and sacrifice is khyati (reputation). The combination of all these is Manava Jati (human race). One cannot be called a human being based on one’s form. One has to adhere to truth, uphold dharma and develop the spirit of sacrifice to deserve the title of a human being. Visualise the unity among all beings, and conduct yourself with compassion in your heart. With intense yearning contemp...

... very life itself. People have forgotten the basic principles of the culture of Bharat and are following and adopting Western culture today. Bharatiyas are not aware of the greatness of their cultural heritage just as a mighty elephant is not aware of its own strength. (Telugu poem) Human Beings Should Imbibe Human Values The sacred land of Bharat, which was once highly reputed for men of sacrifice, is witnessing a sharp decline in moral values day after day.

Man is so designed that he can derive Ananda and maintain it only through association with his kind. To divest oneself of all contacts with others and tread a lonely path is a sign of weakness, of fear—not of courage. Lively association alone produces morality, justice, compassion, sympathy, love, tolerance, equanimity, and many other qualities that toughen and train character and mould the personality of man. Culture is the consequence of the comingling of hearts and heads. A group of individuals who are charged with hatred or contempt of each other cannot produce any beneficial effect on any...

Select stories from the scriptures of all faiths to interest the children in the values of good life. Speak to them of the moral heroes of all lands, the Saints of all faiths. For, they are all of the same stamp. No scripture enjoins violence or lays down untruth as a way of life. All religions extol Truth, Righteousness, Peace and Brotherhood, and Love.

...ffer once again a thousand prostrations to the sage’s ire, for affording me this beneficent opportunity! "As the final moment draws nearer and nearer, my yearning centers in the joyful quaffing of the sweet narrative of Krishna’s sport. It intoxicates me. It makes me ‘Insane.’ Give me, who is burning with that desire, the cool comforting drink, throughout the few hours that are left of the allotted span of my life." Parikshit, the King, fell at the feet of Shuka, overwhelmed by the burden of devotion in his heart, and prayed for more stories of the Boy Krishna. The spring of compassion in the ...

...he truth, no father will come forward and say that his son speaks the truth and protects the truth. In this context, we should really try and understand the deep significance of the father addressing the son and telling him that he had always spoken the truth and protected the truth. But unfortunately, in the books that we read and the cinemas that we see, Krishna is depicted as a cunning and tricky person. The picture of Krishna formed in this manner is not correct. This is not what is contained in the Mahabharata. People write such stories in order to make money and make their stories more a...
