Large-Hearted INDIAN-HERITAGE .....Exemplary for MANKIND

[Sudhaama]

.
.Model Lessons from Rama.?

(1) Rama too committed Mistakes and Blunders even...

..in some cases... under the grip of DELICATE AND EMBARASSING confused Circumstantances.

And perhaps some such blunders might have caused Sins... We do not know...

Valmiki does not say about His Sins or Virtues or the so called resultant-effect named Karmas... accrued out of his deeds.

(2) According to Vedic principles...

Amongs the Humans... Nobody is totally a PUNYAATHMA (Virtuous Person)....

...and Nobody is totally Paapaathma (Sinner).

Rather everybody is partly a Sinner and partly Virtuous... of varying degrees from person to person.

So to say UNINTENTIONALLY or INADVERTANTLY we may commit some sins...

..for which the Governments and the Kings may not Excuse...

..but God upto some extent condones and pardons...

..provided the person REALIZES and CONFESSES before God whole-heartedly...

..and promises to be more careful in future.

(2) What are the Lessons imparted by Rama to Mankind?

This is a Big Question to be answered in several volumes of books.

However a few points in brief...

(a) Rama is named as THYAGARAJA... a "King of Sacrifice" .. SELFLESSLY..

... to ensure protection of Social-justice... Family-unity... Moral-Values... and Divine-Doctrines stipulated by Vedas.

Even in case of delicate circumstances he had foregone his rights... thus a tactful Problem-shooter... even at his own cost.

(b) Victory in Life by any means... is the BESTIAL-LAW and Not the Human-Law...

..So not only our intention but also the means and approach also should be righteous, just and commonly acceptable impersonally.

For example if Rama's purpose of seeking help from Sugreeva was to gain strength to win over Ravana...

..he could have gained better strength.. by aligning with Vali the mightier amongst the two brothers.

But he supported Sugreeva and sought his help only... because Vali's support will indirectly mean supporting his unjust deeds and pursuits...

...whereas in case of supporting Sugreeva, it means supporting Justice... especially to an innocent victim.

(c) In Life... unless we are interested in the Others Welfare .. at par with ours...

..we cannot deserve nor expect others to be our Well-wishers..

...Rather Humanitarian-Love and Respect... must voluntarily forthcoming from us first..

Similarly even for the minute benefit and support we gain from others...

..we should duly recognise it... voluntarily... before such human gestures are demanded from others.

Rama proved his sense of Gratitude MAGNANIMOUSLY... more than it deserves by embracing a Boatman Guha, a Monkey Sugreeva and an Asura Vibheeshana... ignoring their status and personal backgrounds.

(d) Rama had utmost respect for Woman-hood and so was strict not to make women as PLAYTOYS of Males... by having several Wives and Concubines...

..thus BREAKING THE PRACTICE in those days of Male Chauvanism.

(e) Even a King is NOT AN EXCEPTION on Human-Laws... and so the Ruler should not violate the Principle of Justice and the Laws of Humanity...

...but must ensure SELF-DISCIPLINE as a Model- Leader for his subjects.

(f) The Voice and Views of every citizen... irrespective of status must be equally honoured and has to be considered IMPERSONALLY ensuring overall- justice and importance to one and all concerned with us.

In brief.. whatever we expect from others... we should volunteer to offer magnanimously...

...by means of our constant endeavour...

... towards optimum UNCULPABILITY in Life.

..Which alone is the GREATEST VICTORY in Life...

...of utmost HAPPINESS... by keeping the Head high...

...with a ROYAL WALK in Life of Supreme Pride and ELEGANCE.!!!

.God's PARTIALITY in Koorma-Awathaaram.? (Tortoise-shape)

All Awatharas are called GOD'S LEELAAS (Plays)...

..intended to convey and inculcate High Morals.. through simple playful approach...

..for the benefit of Humanity.

That is the Unique value and Greatness of Indian Epics... a part of Indian Heritage.

The Fundamental Principle of Life is displayed in this Awathara. How.?

In fact, this Awathara took place... only to solve the problems and COMPLAINTS from the Innocent Victims, the Devas...against their worst Enemy the Sadists.. called Asuras.

Whereas why the Gods advised them to seek the equal participation by such crucial Enemy, Asuras also... assuring them the due share of outcome... for their due role in churning the Milky-ocean for fetching the Nectar (Amritha)...?

And why they were finally denied their DUE RIGHTS.?

Does it not mean CHEATING.?... Breach of Trust.?

Bhagawatha-purana clearly handles this Story... in a convincing manner.

Vishnu wanted make the Greatest play... to preach His Gospel by ACTION... and so he made a scheme by Koorma-awathara.

Vishnu advised Devas and Asuras to work jointly and unitedly on the task... ensuring mutual well-wishes as a Team... only in case of such a Friendly spirit and RECIPROCAL SINCERETY... He will help them to receive the due returns.

Both the parties agreed and came forward to co-operate sincerely in the collective endeavour. He asked them to bring the huge Vasuki Snake, as also the Mandra Hillock... to the Churning-Site Paarkadal. Both could jointly carry the Hill... only for a few yards... but slipped down making most of them trapped underneath.

They cried for Help... Immediately vishnu rushed to the Spot... and He Himself carried both the huge Snake and the Large Hill to the Site.

Then Vishnu asked them to lift and keep it on His back as a support for churning.

Both the parties could not. Then Vishnu took the shape of a Tortoise and sleeked underneath the Hill. He took another shape also.. to hold the top of the Churning-hillock. Since the Head side was preferred by Asuras.. it was acceded to. Leading all the Devas on the Tail side... Vishnu took a Third shape along with Siva and Brahma.. and the churning process started.

To the wonder of both the Devas and Asuras... the churning process got conducted of its own accord...

Asuras guessed... "Oh Devas are pulling... so we need not take pains... but only just walked to and fro... pretending as if they are playing their due equal role with Devas.

In fact the Churning was conducted by the Tortoise beneath... with the help of Top-hold by another form of Vishnu.

Then the Poisonous gas emanated... Devas and Asuras ran away.

But it was quickly collected by the Lord Siva and drunk.. Thus all of them got saved.

Then Moodevi the Evil force Devil... emanated... followed by several other divine creations like Kamadhenu, Aswa, Chandra, Lakshmi and so on.

Ultimately the God Dhanwanthri came out holding a pot of Nectar.

Yes. Nectar did not emanate out of Churning.!

It was snatched away by Asuras.

Now can anybody say... who deserves the Nectar.? How much.? Why.?

..God's PARTIALITY in Koorma-Awathaaram.?.

.Answer.!

Without looking at it... just as a Mythological Story.. or doubting on its Veracity...

..as may be acceptable to the Reasoning of the Contemporary age..

...We have to take only the Message behind and the Valuable Lessons out of this God's Drama...

...an ETERNAL LIFE- GUIDANCE for Humanity.

I need not elaborate the Story further... since already known to all.

But the Answer for the Wise Questions raised.

Yes. Sukrachariar the Asura-Guru made a vociferous complaint to Brahma and then questioned the propriety of Vishnu...

...seriously alleging as his Partiallity... and injustice meted out to his disciples, Asuras.

Vishnu replied to Sukrachariar thus...

(1) Yes. Indeed it was Myself... who insisted on Devas to invite Asuras too and ensure a Joint effort... in a Friendly Team Spirit

Because all my creations including Asuras... are my children... whom I am eagerous to upliift somehow. My intention and advice was to forget all the past atrocities commited by Asuras...

..and give them a fair-chance to rise up at least now by this rare opportunity.

Besides as a Praayachiththam and Parihaaram for all their past Sins... by way of unfairness to Devas...

...I wanted the Asuras also take equal amount of pains at par with Devas.

Whereas your disciples have not improved at all.. but continue to dominate over others...

..taking undue advantage of unusual mights bestowed... plus a rare prevelege to fetch Nectar.

Your Disciples the Asuras... behaved not only as the constant Enemies of Devas.. even at this stage..

..and proved as highly selfish too... by feeling happy on hearing heavy loss of Lives of Asuras too, their brethren...

...under the onsalught of the Snake's poisonous emissions.!

Thus Asuras proved that they do not deserve anymore encouragement... but only punishment.

So I had to intervene... and render justice to Devas.

Sukrachariar could not further claim.. in favour of his disciples Asuras...

...but became Dumb-founded.!!

Hence the Lesson to Mankind is...

God is prepared to forgive and forget the past misdeeds and shower His benign grace...

..provided, we realise our self-misconducts, INTROSPECT, Confess..

...and HONESTLY prove our intention by means of our FUTURE APPROACH of...

..GOODNESS TO ALL of the Society...

..with UNFAILING EMPATHY, Reciprocal Sincerety and UNITY...

...coupled with UNIVERSAL-LOVE.!!!

.
. Why Lord KRISHNA behaved as THIEF.? as Child's Play?

Was He not rich enough to get abundantly from his Mother Yasodha.?

..Or was He over-controlled by His Mother... denying His Wishes and Demands.?

.Is it an Exemplary Lesson for Mankind.? How and Why.?

Yes. There is an Invaluable HIDDEN TRUTH... behind His Childhood plays..

...the God's invaluable Message by ENACTMENT and Implementation of the Divine TEXTS...and the VEDIC GOSPELS...

coupled with a Practical CODE OF LIFE-GUIDANCE...

...Ever applicable to Mankinnd of all Eras and Ages....

..especially the MOST RELEVANT for the Contemporary Era...

..irrespective of Religious and other aspects of Segmentation of One Human-Society...

..as well as the various MAN-MADE Divisions and Yardsticks...

... for One Mankind.!

My Dear Friends,

I invite your Thoughts and Knowledge on the subject.

[Arthi]

Pongal festival is also for Lord Krishna and Bogi for Indiran and Mattu Pongal for Lord Shiva

we all know that,in order to teach Indiran a lesson, Lord Krishna asked his cowherd friends to worship Gowardhana hill instead of Indira.
This brushed Indiran's Ego and he sent clouds and thunder to Govardhana hill and it was raining incessantly for 3 days and Lord Krishna lifed the huge Gowardhana Hill with his little finger and protect all the inhabitants and thus he made Indiran realised his mistake and also the divine power of Lord Krishna.

Indiran then seeked Lord Krishna's forgiveness and since then Bogi (which meand Indira) is being celebrated to honur Indira and Pongal to for all baktha's to rembember this Gowardhana story how the little krishna lifted the gaint hill by his little finger

[Arthi]

Mattu pongal has an association with cattle a especially Lord Shiva's mount Nandhi

The celebrations of the festival are similar to the festivals of Raksha Bandhan where sisters pray for their brothers' well being
