Yato Dharmastato Jaya | 1 min.

On the very first day of the war, Duryodhana went to his mother Gandhari for her blessings. Keeping her palm on his forehead, the words Gandhari uttered were not
विजयी भव: [vijayee bhava]
may you win
but
यतो धर्मस्ततो जयः[yato dharmastato jaya ]
may dharma win
Despite hearing the stories of her sons being killed one by one, and that of Duryodhana nearing a defeat, her words never changed, not even once during those 18 long days of war.

Though his mother never blessed 'him' to win, Duryodhana too never left for battle without her blessings.

Such pious mothers who insist that may dharma win, despite knowing their blessings would win the world for their sons and the ideal sons who never refuse to bow to such mothers, are the true children of Bharat Mata. 


Hari Om!

I have just begun to collect flowers!

In 1955, during the 51st birthday celebrations of Param Poojaneeya Guruji, a meeting of Karyakartas was held at Calicut in which many Pracharaks including Shankar Shastri Ji and Venuettan had assembled. To everyone's surprise, Mananiya Dattopant Thengadiji arrived at the meeting. He had no official programs planned at Calicut. Curiously, Shastri Ji inquired about the purpose of his visit. "A swayamsevak from Feroke (near Calicut) has written to me about starting a BMS unit in his tile factory", replied Thengdiji. "I'm here to meet him". Quite soon, the swayamsevak arrived and took Thengadiji to Feroke. After a few hours, Thengadiji returned to Calicut, after forming a temporary committee of BMS at Feroke. Back at the office, Venuettan asked him if there were any BMS units anywhere else near Calicut. As always, Thengadiji's cool reply was that there were units in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Bhopal and Hyderabad. "With the other units so far, how can ...

Sattvik life!

Mananeeya Shivrampant Joglekarji was a Pracharak in Tamil Nadu for a long while. The first thing he took up in TN was to learn Tamil language. Soon he became so good at the language that he even used to write his diary in Tamil. His traditional outfit with a Bhasma-tilak made anyone mistake him for a native. Joglekarji was a simple man. He never used to iron his clothes, except the Ganvesh. As the first thing in the morning, he would clean the whole Karyalaya everyday. Daily Shakha was a key part of his daily life that even during his later years when he suffered from paralysis, he used to attend Shakha in a wheelchair. In Gita, Bhagwan says: मुक्तसङ्गोऽनहंवादी धृत्युत्साहसमन्वित: | सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योर्निर्विकार: कर्ता सात्विक उच्यते ||18:26|| mukta-saṅgo ‘nahaṁ-vādī dhṛity-utsāha-samanvitaḥ siddhy-asiddhyor nirvikāraḥ kartā sāttvika uchyate mukta-saṅgaḥ —free from worldly attachment; anaham-vādī —free from ego; dhṛiti —strong resolve; utsāha —zeal; samanvitaḥ —endowed ...
