Paape prapanch karva badhi vaate puro,
Khoto kharo bhagwathi pann hoon tamaro.
Jadyandhakaar door kari sad-budhhi aapo,
Maam-paahi om bhagavati bhava dukha kapo.

Sheekhe sune rasik chandaj ekk chitte,

Takurji ko reachna

 "Takurji ko reachna" का भाव भक्तिभाव और आत्मसमर्पण से जुड़ा हुआ है। जब कोई भक्त ठाकुरजी (भगवान श्रीकृष्ण या अन्य ईश्वरस्वरूप) को "रीझाने" की बात करता है, तो इसका अर्थ होता है कि वे अपने प्रेम, सेवा, भजन, ध्यान, और निष्काम भक्ति से भगवान को प्रसन्न करने का प्रयास कर रहे हैं।

शास्त्रों में कहा गया है कि भगवान का हृदय सरलता, निष्कपटता और प्रेम से रीझता है। उदाहरण के लिए:

श्रीकृष्ण गोपियों की भक्ति से रीझ गए, क्योंकि वे निश्छल प्रेम करती थीं।

सुदामा की तिनके जैसी भेंट पर श्रीकृष्ण रीझ गए, क्योंकि उसमें प्रेम और समर्पण था।

हनुमानजी की निःस्वार्थ सेवा से श्रीराम रीझ गए, क्योंकि उन्होंने कोई स्वार्थ नहीं रखा।

इसलिए, ठाकुरजी को रीझाने का सर्वोत्तम मार्ग प्रेम, भक्ति, सत्यनिष्ठा और सेवा भाव है।

Reading.

People who have tha Ayodhya Rama murthi in the house should read at least one chapter of the Ramayana every day. You will see the effect it has on all the family members. Chapters are all very small and will take a maximum of 5 minutes only. 

Prose poetry.

 In prose

King Harishchandra of the Ikshvaku dynasty is celebrated as an epitome of truth and righteousness in Hindu lore. His unwavering commitment to truthfulness and dharma made him a paragon of virtue, and his trials remain an inspiring testament to the power of honesty and perseverance.

The great sage Vishwamitra once tested Harishchandra’s virtue. Through divine illusion, he appeared before the king and demanded a promise of charity. True to his word, Harishchandra granted whatever was asked of him, which included his entire kingdom. Homeless and destitute, he, along with his wife Shaivya and son Rohitashva, wandered in search of livelihood.

Forced to sell himself, his wife, and his son to different masters to pay off his debt to the sage, Harishchandra was reduced to working as a crematorium guard. His tribulations reached their peak when his son succumbed to a snake bite, and his wife, without any money for the funeral, came to him for permission to cremate their child. Bound by his duty, he demanded the required fee, as per the law of the land.

The gods, witnessing his unwavering adherence to truth and duty, intervened. Lord Vishnu, Indra, and other celestial beings appeared, restoring his son’s life and granting him back his kingdom. Harishchandra’s trials became an everlasting symbol of absolute righteousness, proving that truth ultimately triumphs.

 In  Poetry

In Ikshvaku’s line, a king so grand,

Ruled with justice, fair and planned.

Harishchandra, his noble name,

Truth and dharma, his only fame.

Vishwamitra, the sage so wise,

Decided to test his truth with guise.

A kingdom vast, a throne so high,

Yet he chose not to tell a lie.

With wife and child, he walked in pain,

Homeless, helpless, under rain.

To pay his due, he sold his fate,

To serve the gods and test his state.

The burning ground, his only place,

As keeper there, he held his grace.

A mother came with sorrowed face,

Her son had left this mortal space.

She begged the king to grant her pyre,

But law decreed a token dire.

Bound by duty, torn with strife,

He asked a fee from his own wife.

The heavens shook, the gods appeared,

His son revived, the pain was cleared.

A kingdom lost was his again,

For truth had won despite the pain.

Thus stands his tale, a beacon bright,

A king who walked the path of light.

In trials deep, he stood so tall,

And truth, he proved, surpasses all.

Bitter sweet sour.

 Eating a combination of bitter, sweet, and sour foods on New Year’s Day is a tradition in many cultures, symbolizing the different experiences life brings in the coming year.

Bitter foods (like neem or bitter gourd) represent challenges and hardships, reminding us that difficulties are a part of life but also opportunities for growth.

Sweet foods (like jaggery, fruits, or sweets) symbolize happiness, prosperity, and good fortune.

Sour foods (like tamarind or lemon) reflect life's tangy and unexpected surprises, reminding us to embrace change with resilience.

This tradition serves as a metaphor for accepting life’s ups and downs with balance and grace. It is particularly observed in Indian customs, where a mix of flavors is offered in dishes like Ugadi Pachadi in South India.

Many cultures around the world incorporate a mix of bitter, sweet, and sour foods into their New Year celebrations, each carrying symbolic meanings. Here are a few notable traditions:

1. India (Ugadi and Gudi Padwa – South and West India)

In South India, especially among Telugu and Kannada communities, Ugadi Pachadi is a special dish made with six flavors:

Bitter (Neem flowers) – hardships

Sweet (Jaggery) – happiness

Sour (Tamarind) – challenges and surprises

Spicy (Chili/Pepper) – anger or excitement

Salty (Salt) – relationships

Astringent (Raw mango) – new experiences

This dish symbolizes accepting life’s mix of emotions.

In Maharashtra, for Gudi Padwa, people eat a paste of neem and jaggery, representing the blend of sorrow and joy in life.

2. China (Lunar New Year)

Traditional Chinese New Year meals include a variety of flavors:

Bitter melon for endurance and health.

Sweet rice cakes (Nian Gao) for prosperity.

Sour pickles or vinegar-based dishes to cleanse bad luck and bring balance.

The combination ensures a well-rounded and prosperous year ahead.

3. Jewish Tradition (Rosh Hashanah – Jewish New Year)

Foods symbolize different aspects of life:

Bitter herbs recall past hardships.

Sweet apples with honey signify a sweet and good year.

Pomegranates (sweet and slightly sour) represent abundance and wisdom.

4. Thailand (Songkran – Thai New Year)

Thai New Year feasts include:

Bitter herbs and greens for health.

Sweet sticky rice and coconut desserts for joy.

Sour fruits like mango and tamarind for balance and vitality.

5. Ethiopia (Enkutatash – Ethiopian New Year)

The meal consists of bitter coffee, sour injera (fermented bread), and spiced meat dishes, reflecting endurance, community, and prosperity.

6. Ancient Rome and Europe

In the past, New Year feasts included bitter greens (like dandelion) for health, sweet cakes for good luck, and sour fruits or wines for a reminder of life’s unpredictability.

Across cultures, the idea remains the same: life is a mixture of different experiences, and embracing them all leads to a more fulfilling year.

Similarity. Stunning

 High-rise buildings and earthquakes are closely connected because tall structures are highly susceptible to seismic forces. The way a high-rise building responds to an earthquake depends on several factors:

1. Resonance and Frequency – Every building has a natural frequency of vibration. If an earthquake's frequency matches that of the building, resonance can occur, amplifying the shaking and causing severe damage.

2. Flexibility and Rigidity – High-rise buildings are designed to be flexible enough to absorb seismic energy but rigid enough to maintain structural integrity. Too much rigidity can cause brittle failure, while too much flexibility can lead to excessive swaying.

3. Foundation and Soil Conditions – The type of soil beneath a high-rise impacts its stability. Loose or water-saturated soil can amplify seismic waves, increasing the risk of damage.

4. Structural Design – Modern skyscrapers are built with earthquake-resistant designs, including:

Base Isolation: Using rubber bearings or sliders to absorb ground motion.

Tuned Mass Dampers: Heavy weights that counteract building sway.

Cross-Bracing and Reinforced Frames: Providing additional support against lateral forces.

5. Building Height and Shape – Taller buildings experience stronger forces at their tops, which can lead to increased swaying. Engineers use aerodynamic shapes and structural modifications to mitigate this effect.

Proper engineering and adherence to seismic building codes ensure that high-rise buildings can withstand earthquakes with minimal damage.

________________________________________________

Yet, there is a striking metaphorical similarity between high-rise buildings and people's rapid rise to fame and their potential downfall, especially in the face of unexpected challenges.

1. Resonance and External Influence – Just as buildings can resonate with earthquake vibrations, individuals who quickly gain fame might find themselves caught in the waves of public opinion. If they are not stable in character or principles, the amplified scrutiny can lead to collapse.

2. Flexibility vs. Rigidity – Successful individuals, like earthquake-resistant buildings, need a balance between flexibility and firmness. Too rigid an attitude (arrogance, unwillingness to adapt) can lead to a dramatic fall, while too much flexibility (lack of values, over-adapting to trends) can make them lose authenticity and public trust.

3. Foundation and Strength of Character – Just as a strong foundation determines a building’s endurance, a person's moral and intellectual grounding determines whether they can withstand the pressures of sudden success. Those without deep roots in wisdom, humility, and ethics are more likely to crumble.

4. Structural Support (Network and Values) – Buildings rely on structural reinforcements to endure shocks, just as individuals need strong mentors, good relationships, and ethical principles to navigate challenges. Without these, the pressures of fame can break them.

5. Height and Stability – The higher one rises, the greater the forces acting against them. The more famous a person becomes, the more scrutiny, expectations, and criticism they face. Without proper preparation, they can sway under these pressures and fall.

Just as well-designed skyscrapers endure earthquakes, people with a strong foundation of values, wisdom, and adaptability can withstand the tremors of fame and continue standing tall.
