The Joy of Self-Surrender | Guruji's Thoughts | 1 min.

The springs of spontaneous joy and inspiration that rise in a heart charged with a spirit of total surrender to the ideal will defeat all forces of darkness and despair. There is a story of two yogis who were doing intense penance for realising God. Narada, who was on his way to the abode of God, was requested by these two yogis to know from him for how many more births they had to carry on their penance to realise God. Narada on his way back again met the two yogis. To the first he said, "Only four more births." Hearing this reply the yogi became crestfallen and began wailing, ”Oh Lord, still four more births!" To the other, Narada said, "You have to wait till you take as many births as there are leaves in the yonder tamarind tree". But Narada was amazed to see him start dancing with joy. When Narada asked him the reason, he replied, "Now I have got only a definite number of births before I reach God. After that I am assured of meeting God. What a great solace it is!" And just as he uttered these words a divine voice was heard, "You are even at this moment a realised soul!"

Such a spirit of joyous perseverance, absolute faith and unshakable will can achieve miracles.
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...

Davood, Aamir, Bollywood and the Islamic Underworld | 9 mins.

Read this gallant article by Dushyant Chauhan, a young blogger. He wrote this article as an answer on Quora to the slow Islamization of Bollywood. Citing this and some of his other answers, he was banned from Quora. Many such eminent Quorans met the same fate on the forum, their depiction of bare truth being branded as communalism. Does the world end with you Mr.Adam D'Angelo? It doesn't.  Now brace yourself readers for his answer: Lets us start with the Bollywood era around 30–40 years back when Manoj Kumar was producing stellar patriotic movies like “Purab aur Pashcim”. These movies projected India and the Hindu culture in a very very positive light. In this era one could easily see devotional songs to Hindu gods being a part of the movies with Bhajans being not uncommon. You do not see much negative portrayal of Hinduism nor any criticism.  We need to see this very interesting scenario of two very very famous Indian celebrities in this era. One is a male named Yus...
