आदमीं भटकाव में जी रहा है। वह किसी दूसरे को भटकाने के ताव में है। और कोई उसको। आदमी एक असली चहरे पर अनेक झूठी मुखौटे लगा रखा है। यह तय करना मुश्किल है कि, असल में आदमी का असली चेहरा कौन-सा है? वह अपना चेहरा और मुह तो भिन्न-भिन्न लोगो के लिए भिन्न-भिन्न बना रखा है। थोडा सोचो! अगर परमात्मा तुमसे मिल जाये, तो तुम कौन-सा चेहरा उसको दिखाओगे? वह जो अपनी पत्नी को दिखाते हो? या, वह जो अपने नौकर को दिखाते हो? कि वह जो अपनी प्रेयेसी को दिखाते हो? या, वह जो अपने मालिक को दिखाते हो? या, वह जो दिन, दरिद्र या गरीब को दिखाते हो?  कि वह चेहरा जो कमजोर को दिखाते हो? या, वह जो अपने से शक्तिशाली को दिखाते हो? कौन-सा तुम्हारा असली चेहरा है, जिसे तुम परमात्मा को प्रस्तूत करोंगे? यह सारे चहरे तो बनावटी और झूठी है। इतने चेहरों का तुमने मुखौटा पहना है कि असली चेहरा कौन है, भूल ही गये हो। अपने से दिन, दरिद्र, गरीब और कमज़ोर देखते हो तो बरस पड़ते हो। और अपने से शक्तिशाली को देखते हो तो खुशामत में लग जाते हो। ऐसे झूठी मुखौटे और झूठी मुह वाले इंसान का अपना खुद का कोई अस्तित्व नहीं होता। अपनी झूठी शान-शौ...

The source of the Sarasvati River is still a puzzle for the scholars. Sarasvati river is very old river. Sarasvati river has also been mentioned in Rig Veda, the most authentic and ancient scripture of the Hindu. Later this river dried up or went underground, due to the dupe of the sand. The goddess Sarasvati was originally a personification of Sarasvati River, but later developed an independent identity and gained meaning.

She is generally shown to have four arms, which represent the four aspects of human personality in learning: mind, intellect, alertness, and ego. Alternatively, these four arms also represent the four Ve...

Shiva is Shava (corpse) without Shakti. Shakti is so valiant and vigor and has intense Tap , the power of penance, that only Shiva can confront her. Because, only Shiva possesses the power to pacify Shakti. Shakti impelled Shiva to involve in household. Otherwise, he is hermit lives in solitude place. No one can take risk to disturb His meditation. Shakti made him to come out from his intense meditation and made Him householder. Shiva became Shankar and Shakti became Parvati.

Our society has been divided into four categories or castes viz. Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas and Shudras. Our society did not get satisfied with this division of castes but went further and created various sub-castes as well. The society has tried their hard to divide the humans at sundry levels. The appalling things are that they forgot the primal dictation of the scripture, and started dividing the society and humans on the basis of birth not on the basis of Karma or quality or merit. Any authentic scripture does not suggest of the division of the human`s caste on the basis of birth or ones family background. Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas and Sudras are not the caste; these are the qualities humans possess. The quality and Karma differs from person to person. It is not necessary that the father and son possess the same qualities and the same aspiration for the life. Then at what basis, people of antiquarian took the decision to divide the humans on the basis of birth, which la...

एक सेठ बहुत ही धनाढ्य था। धन इकठ्ठा करने के लिए उसने बहुत ही मेहनत किया था।  अधिक से अधिक धन इकठ्ठा करना ही सिर्फ उसका लक्ष्य था। पैसा होने के बावजूद भी वह  पुराने और फटे कपडे से काम चला  लेता था। उसके ज़िन्दगी का एक-एक पल कैसे समाप्ति की तरफ बढ  गया, उसको यह कभी पता न चला। ज़िन्दगी की आखिरी पड़ाव मौत ही होती है, यह तो भूल ही चूका था। उसके सोच में तो पैसा और दौलत से सब कुछ पाया और ख़रीदा जा सकता था। मौत तो  अपने समय की पाबंद है। सेठ एक दिन बहुत बीमार पड़  गया। बड़े से बड़े अस्पताल में उसका इलाज़ कराया गया, लेकिन उसकी हालत में कोई सुधार न हुई। अपनी इलाज़ के लिए सेठ अब कोई भी कीमत देने को तैयार था । ताज्जुब  तो यह है कि मनुष्य पहले स्वास्थ्य खोकर दौलत कमाता है , और फिर अंत में दौलत खोकर स्वास्थ्य पाना चाहता है। सेठ का अंत समय आ चूका था। कोई दवा,कोई इलाज़ काम नहीं कर रहा था। यमराज के दूत सेठ के सामने आ गए, सेठ बहुत घबराया, और सोचा अभी तो मैंने अपनी ज़िन्दगी तो जी ही नहीं कि मौत सामने आ गई। सेठ समय के सामने एक प्रस्ताव रखा...

Maryada in not Dharma. T here is difference between Maryada and Dharma. Maryada is external and Dharma is internal. Obeying Maryada means obeying the norms, draconian tradition, codes and customs. Shri Ram never disregarded norms and traditions of the society even if it required him to banish his innocent wife. It was asked to Rama, if there would be other lady at place of Sita, would he be fought with Ravana and brought back that lady in the same fashion. He replied... It does not matter in change of lady, I would have followed the same path what I did for Sita. No matter what, I am not going to break my Maryada, the code and tradition. That is why, he is known as Maryada Purushotam.   Bali Vadh was the only occasion in which He overlooked his code of conduct for the sake of Dharma. Rama incarnation took place in Treta Yuga, at that time, norms and code and conduct were more pious than Dwapra Yuga, the time of Krishna incarnation. Dharma is moral conduct. Dharma meant abso...

  In the Mahabharata, Yudhishthira and his four brothers were the rulers of  Indraprastha . Being an elder of the Pandavas, Yudhishthira was a nominated king of Indraprastha and Draupadi a queen. Dhritarashtra's son  Duryodhana , the prince of empire Hastinapur, was frying himself in the pan of jealous with the fuel of Pandavas`s name, fame, wealth and Indraprastha. To drag the Pandavas`s status from the zenith to nadir, Duryodhana took the help of his maternal uncle Shakuni. Shakuni came with a sly plan to invite the meek Pandavas to Hastinapur and challenge them for the gambling. Shakuni was a skilled gambler, and Yudhishthira was a neophyte.

All the Pandavas were now the slaves of Kauravas. According to the rule, Kauravas could do anything with their slaves...

When we confront failure and bad times, we react, why it is happening with me. When we get a grand success in our life, we never ask why it is happening with me. This is the psychology of the human beings. The good days seems passes so fast that we never get time to realize it. The bad times seems passes so slow that every moment compels us to think about it. The failure provides us an opportunity to see the reality. The reality, illusion, hallucination, the right, and the wrong everything gets unleashed before us in the worst times only. It gives us an opportunity to differentiate the truth from untruth, action from inaction to avoid the similar worst situation take place in our life in future. All the successful persons have confronted the fiasco in their life. The debacle is for learning more, analyzing and realizing our self. Failure and success, both are inevitable in our life; it comes and goes like weather. Both are equally important. Bhagavad Gita 2:14 suggests “ the nonperma...

In the Mahabharata, once Drona called Yudhishtra and Duryodhana. He dictated Yudhishtra to find all the bad people in Hastinapur, and dictated Duryodhana to find all the good people in Hastinapur. Both left for their given mission. They met the same people in the same Hastinapur in different timings. But their analysis about the people were surprising different. End of the mission, Yudhishtra reported Drona that he could not find even a single person who was bad. On the contrast, Duryodhana reported that he could not find even a single person who was good. All were bad and selfish in the eyes of Duryodhana. Yudhishtra and Duryodhana mapped their nature with the people they met. According to their mapping with their nature they judged the people, good or bad. That is not the problem with the people or environment; it is up to us, how we see it. If you are sad, the entire world looks like melancholy and you declare that the world is not worthy to live in. The sadist always focuses ...
