Prabhakar reflections

भरतजी चित्रकूट से अयोध्या लौट चुके थे। अंततः वही हुआ जिसका विधान प्रभु ने रच रखा था। राम, सीता एवं लक्ष्मण चित्रकूट में ही रह वहीं समस्त वनवासी को अपने रूप, गुण एवं धर्माचरण...

अदृश्ये आपतितं पुनश्च अदृश्यं गतः न ते तौ न तस्य त्वं वृथा हर्ष परिदेवना। भगवान की लीला अपरम्पार है। सब कुछ उन्हीं की इच्छा के अधीन है।इसे हम जितनी जल्दी मान लें उतना ही अ...

भगवान राम का वनगमन का हेतु राक्षसेन्द्र रावण का वध था। दोष कैकयी को लगना था सो लगा। विह्वल भरत जो अपने माता के इस अकांडतांडव से अनभिज्ञ थे, सभी अनर्थ के मूल में स्वयं को पाकर ...

Long back a relative of mine possessed with superior wisdom told me that nature is at its best in the morning.

While I was not unaware of what he would mean, it remained at best a pep talk to me until I set out at 5 hours in the morning wearing sports shoes recently purchased. It was a great feeling to testify all that what he said and also all that what I had imagined. But a nuisance developed in the form ...

मनुष्य का जन्मजन्य देहधारण उसके पूर्वकर्म का हीं परिणाम है। विचार से देखा जाय तो सुख दुःख का संघातक्षेत्र तथा आश्रय यह देह हीं है, आत्मा नहीं। इसीलिए श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता म...
