SERVE BHARATHAM BETTER WAY:-5.

MISSIONARIES MUST UNDERSTAND THE HEART OF THE PEOPLE TO WHOM THEY ARE MINISTERING. A TEACHER, WHO UNDERSTANDS NOT THE TAUGHT, CAN TEACH NONE. THIS IS THE SUBTLE MISTAKE THAT HAS GROWN NOW WIDELY LUXURIOUS AMONG US TO YIELD OUR PRESENT DAY HARVEST OF TRAGEDIES, SOCIAL INEQUALITIES, COMMUNAL QUARRELS, NATIONAL DISINTEGRATION AND IDEOLOGICAL TYRANNIES.


THE BHARATHEEYAR [ADULTS, AND PARENTS]  ARE TO GROW THEMSELVES TO BE THE RIGHT INTERPRETERS OF OUR ANCIENT AND SACRED CULTURE TO THE CHILDREN OF THE PRESENT DAY.  NO DOUBT THERE IS NONE TO TEACH US. THOSE WHO KNOW TODAY OR AT LEAST CLAIM TO KNOW, OUR SCRIPTURES, KNOW NOT THE WORLD IN WHICH THEY ARE LIVING. THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD ARE EFFICIENT IN THEIR OWN ACTIVITIES. THEY ARE, IN THEIR OWN WAY, WISE AND LEARNED, YET, THEY TOO ARE COMPLETELY IN THE DARK REGARDING KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR OWN CULTURAL HERITAGE. THE PEOPLE OF BHARATHAM MUST BE PREPARED TO THE TREMENDOUS TASK THEY HAVE TO SHOULDER.

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

Gospel of Lord Krishna : Sri Swami Sivananda -5.

27/11/2018 5. Repeatedly Lord Krishna extols righteousness. The greatest Bhakta is—not one who goes on rolling the beads, with selfishness, lust, anger and greed enshrined in his heart but—one who is endowed with all auspicious qualities, and who is devoted to the welfare of humanity. Lord Krishna does not define Jnana as scriptural erudition or an intellectual appreciation of philosophic truths or the capacity and cleverness to string words together and to indulge in vain debating. He defines Jnana as the sum total of the best of virtues. Read the thirteenth Chapter of the Bhagavadgita, you will understand this clearly. The Lord says: watch for these qualities in a man. If they are present, he is a Jnani, a saint; you can safely follow him and adopt him as your spiritual guide. If they are absent, avoid him, even though he may be an expert in the play of words and has learnt the whole of the Vedas and Sastras by heart. For, if you find that a tree is full of mango-fruits,

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
