Fundamental Duties of man unto himself:-

1.Satyam [ truthful-ness ] has come to be used so often that we seem to know its implications very well, but in no given set of circumstances can an ordinary man come to a definite decision as to how to act truthfully! Without going much into the details, I will try to touch upon the essence of these teachings.


2.Brahmacarya [ Self-restraint ] is not a mere control of sex impulses. It is a life lived under a strict policy of self-control in all the activities of all senses that go out into the fields of their respective objects. Thus, to talk too much or walk too long distances, or to eat even a morsel more than essential, are all crimes against a life of self-restraint.


If brahmacarya be thus a value of life applied in the physical plane, ahimsa [non-injury] is a value of life to be lived in the mental zone. Non-injury is not an inert ineffectual slave-mentality allowing ourselves to be killed or to be persecuted by any individual  or individuals. Cowardice is not sanctioned by non-injury.


Ahimsa [ non-injury ] in its real spiritual import means, therefore,  only 'kill not with cruel animal intentions.'  Non-injury is the spirit, that should dominate in the plane of our motives. Our motives should not be polluted by ideas of cruelty or hatred. Thus, if you holdup and fight against a robber in your home or stand up against the unwise policies of a priest or a president, you are not transgressing ahimsa. To kill a bug or a mosquito, to smash a snake or a scorpion in your house is not cruelty, while to allow these to grow and flourish in the name of non-violence is madness sanctioned only by a mis-interpreted culture. It is this mis-interpretaion that has brought about the FALL,DECAY, AND DEATH OF THE GLORIOUS ERA OF HINDU DOMINANCE.


Elimination of the wicked and the protection of the GOOD is the very creed of every true Hindu --whether it be priest or God or Government.[to be cont----d.]


Present Bharatham, and its citizens  hear these Upanishads declarations  and mend themselves if Bharatham and the population want their head up in the world, if not want to hear then fall in disgrace is immense.

Personal Life & Legacy : Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel tied the knot at the age of 18, to Jhaverba, who was twelve years of age then. Following the traditional Hindu customs, which allowed the bride to stay with her parents until her husband had a decent income and an established household, the two stayed apart for a few years until Sardar Patel had definite income to fall back on. Along with Jhaverba, he set up a house in Godhra. The couple was blessed with a daughter, Manibehn, in 1904, and a son, Dahyabhai, two years later. In 1909, Jhaverba, who was suffering from cancer, underwent a major surgical operation. Though the operation was successful, Jhaverba’s health continued to decline. She passed away the same year. Patel was against remarrying and instead raised his children with the help of his family. Patel’s health started declining in the summer of 1950. Though he was taken care of intensely, his health worsened. To recuperate, he was flown to Mumbai, where he

AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY: THE STORY OF MY EXPERIMENTS WITH TRUTH by Mohandas K. Gandhi Part-2. 20. BALASUNDARAM : The heart's earnest and pure desire is always fulfilled. In my own experience I have often seen this rule verified. Service of the poor has been my heart's desire, and it has always thrown me amongst the poor and enabled me to identify myself with them. Although the members of the Natal Indian Congress included the Colonial-born Indians and the Clerical class, the unskilled wage- earners, the indentured labourers were still outside its pale. The Congress was not yet theirs. They could not afford to belong to it by paying the subscription and becoming its members. The Congress could win their attachment only by serving them. An opportunity offered itself when neither the Congress nor I was really ready for it. I had put in scarcely three or four months' practice, and the Congress also was still in its infancy, when a Tamil man in tattered clothes,

Sivananda's Personality - 15.

In 1949, opening a cupboard, the Master’s attendant found a bedsheet bitten by a rat, and inside the sheet were four of its newborns. They had hardly opened their eyes. He took them to the Master. When the Master saw the baby rats, his heart was flooded with compassion. He felt greatly pained that they should have been disturbed. He asked the attendant to put them back immediately in the same place and condition, lest their mother should miss them. This was done. But in a day or two, the mother rat got killed by a cat. Soon after, the little ones also died. When the Master saw the dead rats, he felt sad and did Maha Mantra Kirtan for a pretty long time for the peace of the departed souls. His attendant also joined him in the Kirtan. The Master fed ants with sugar, birds with rice, monkeys with gram, fish with bread. He kept water in pots for birds. "This will develop mercy and cosmic love," he said. "It will soften the stony heart
