Lakshyahira, and the king

By -


She had got lost on the jungle route while coming back to her home. The sepoys of the king on the camp of mrigaya (pleasure hunting) caught hold of her and took her to the court of the king. The lecherous king wanted to fulfill his carnal desire, but at the same time feigning courteousness. “I am a prostitute and provide service of carnal pleasure at a cost of one million diamond coins from my customers” – mentioned the damsel, not forgetting to add that she takes a ritualistic bath before courtship lest the male partner will die of poison from her kiss during courtship, as she is a vishkanya (venomous virgin). The next practical condition is – a million numbers of diamond coins are to be given to her before fulfilling the wishful desire of the partner. The lustful king had to spare her for the time being. He ordered to send her home safely.

Presence of mind. Is not it? In digital terms – one million is a lakshya. The damsel priced her at “one million”, and hence the name Lakhsyhahira (“hira” means diamond). The poor female could maintain her chastity.

Lakhsyhahira and the “likes of the lecherous king” abound in today’s world. The modern-day kings want to rob the hidden treasures of talented people by hook or crook. One has to be Lakhsyhahira and get him saved from such lecherous business heads.

Every year, India celebrates September 5, the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, as National Teachers’ Day.   According to media reports, it is believed that while Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was serving as the second President of India in 1962, his students approached him to seek permission to celebrate his birthday – September 5 – as a special day. To this, he instead made a request to observe September 5 as Teachers’ Day, to recognize the contribution of teachers to society. This is the genesis of the Teacher’s Day in India. Hindu Sanatana culture is filled with teachings that help enlighten students and teachers alike to follow paths that can help a civilized society. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF A STUDENT: In Shrimad Bhagavat Gita, Shree Krishna, in one of the verses (4:33) tells Arjun that it is good to do physical acts, ritualistic ceremonies, fasts, mantra chants, holy pilgrimages, but if they are not performed with knowledge, they remain mere physical activities.

Economic Recovery post-covid19: a Layman’s Viewpoints : Dr. Manoj Kumar Patel : Economy and Economics: An economy encompasses all activity related to production, consumption, and trade of goods and services in an area. An economy applies to everyone from individuals to entities such as corporations and governments. A region's economy is connected with things like how many goods and services are produced and how much money people can spend on these things. The economy is measured by the Gross Domestic Product or GDP. When the GDP growth rate turns negative, the economy enters a recession. The most important part of the economy is consumer spending. So, as a rule of thumb, more the transactions and spending by the consumers better is the economy of that country. Thus money should be available in the hands of the consumers. The other three components are business expenditures, government spending, and net exports. Economics is a social science that deals wi

The Golden Hearts and the Rusted Gold

The Golden Hearts and the Rusted Gold Gold  is one of the least reactive elements.  Gold does not combine easily with oxygen so it remains shining. It neither does   rust  nor gets tarnished. Impurities, however, it can spoil the quality of gold. Humans are just like pure gold. We all have born with a pure heart. But as we grow chronologically, layers of impurities get settled over our pure hearts, and gradually these get spoiled. We do not take diligent care, the way we take care of our jewelry, to keep our hearts shining. We ignore the layers of dirt over it. A stage comes when the pure heart does not become visible and it is the dirt only that reflects from our personality. How can dirt reflect rays of shines? We should take care of our Golden Heart so that the Heart remains resplendent.
