Land of God | Guruji's Thoughts | 1 min.

Hindustan is verily the chosen land of God Realisation. This is not mere sentimental effusion, but our deep-rooted conviction. Some years ago our newspapers had flashed the story of a German who came to our land as a spiritual aspirant. He embraced sanyas and underwent the stern austerities of an all-renouncing ascetic. But even after prolonged penance he could not realise God. On a searching self-enquiry he was convinced that his body, born and bred in the passionate climate of the West, was unfit for God Realisation. He therefore went to Haridwar and gave up his body in the holy Ganga. He left a note stating, "I am giving up the body of my own accord. May the offering of my body in the sacred waters of Ganga merit me with a rebirth in Bharat and with that new chaste body I may be able to realise God."

Namaste!

The Attitude of Justice | Story of King Prahlad | 1 min.

A beautiful story about King Prahlad: Once, his son, Virochan, got into an argument with his Guru’s son Sudhanva. Virochan said, “I am superior to you because I am the son of a king.” Sudhanva claimed, “I am superior because I am the son of a Rishi.” They were both young, and in their impetuousness, they laid bets. Both said, “Whoever is proved superior will live while the other will have to die.” Now, who would be the judge? Sudhanva said to Virochan, “Your father, Prahlad, will be the judge.” Virochan exclaimed, “Really! But then you will complain that he has been partial.” “No, my father, Rishi Angiras, has said that your father Prahlad is perfectly just, and will never differentiate between friend and foe.” The two boys went to Prahlad. Virochan asked, “Father, am I superior or Sudhanva?” Prahlad said, “Why did this question arise?” “Father we have laid bets that whoever is proved superior will remain alive while the other will have to die.” Prahlad smiled and said, “Your friend...

Punctuality and Discipline

When we conduct daily Shakha, mistakes are natural. The duty of correcting such mistakes falls upon the senior Karyakartas of that Shakha. The preparations for Sangh's winter camps are begun one month prior to the event. During one such event, a few swayamsevaks reached the campsite very late. Mananeeya Balasahebji, who was in charge of the camp was really disappointed at this. Later that day, in the meeting, he said: "The most important work has been handed over to the most incompetent men…." Those fiery words struck everyone. From the next day, everyone was sharp on time. Mananeeya Balasahebji's words didn't hurt the swayamsevaks, but taught them a lesson. This incident is still narrated in the Sangh circles to suggest that punctuality is very important to discipline. Namaste!
