GREETINGS

Ramayana Saundarya

The beauty of Ramayana is that all you want to know all you want to love and the way you want to live can be found in it. There are so many versions of the Ramayana in various languages that if you try to list all of them, that will be a book itself. Thus, the beauty of Ramayana, the greatness of Ramayana, the sweetness of Ramayana is that it has been composed by Gods and Rishis, saints and devotees whose hearts were pure. Pure-hearted composers sing the glory of God without any selfish purpose, but only to kindle the love of God in the hearts of all beings.

Yajna Spirit

From any standpoint action is essential in order to gain perfection. Most of us have a tendency to run away from difficult situations. That is the easy way out. However, we should know when to resign and when to stay in a job. There is no need to permanently hold on to any position. Once our duty has been fulfilled, we can resign by all means. But just because things are getting difficult or we do not like the way things are going is no reason to walk away. Some things may be frustrating, no doubt, but we must not allow them to frustrate us! Remember our present life is an opportunity to purify our mind, and that does not happen when we run away from our problems.

Swami Chinmayananda Uvacha

Suppose you have got the value of “I hate”. You have got the freedom to hate anybody. The person you hate sleeps well, eats well, but it is you who gets exhausted in hating. But if you were to love that person even if he is harming you, it will not affect you, because certain values of life reduce the expenditure of energy and dispassions, making you efficiently face your own problems – economic, professional or domestic. To manage your life, the higher values are necessary, so that your reaction to the outside world does not dissipate your energy.
