Benefits of having Lord with you than praying for something else!

Author: Smt. Harini Pagadal 



Before the Kurukshetra war, both Arjuna and Duryodhana approached Lord Sri Krishna for help. The Supreme Lord was in Yoga Nidra. With great devotion, Arjuna sat near his feet. On the other hand, affected by his ego Duryodhana sat near The Supreme Lord's head.  After waking up The Supreme Lord initially saw Arjuna since he was near his feet. Then The Supreme Lord greeted Arjuna and asked about his well-being. But Duryodhana could not bear it. As he was sitting near the head of The Supreme Lord he was left unnoticed. Therefore Duryodhana tried hard to grab Lord Sri Krishna's attention. But Lord Sri Krishna only after finishing his conversation with Arjuna turned towards Duryodhana. Then, Duryodhana unfolded his query. " O ! Krishna!  You know the reason for our arrival. We both are your relatives. You very well know that a war is on the verge of breaking out between the two of us. So, without any partiality, you should support both of us" asked Duryodhana. Lord Sri Krishna thought for a second. Then he told "Duryodhana! Arjuna! Of course, you both are my relatives. I will definitely help you both. My complete army, with all weapons and astras will be on one side and I will be on the other side. Also, I will be unarmed and will not combat in the war. Those who choose me will only get my presence. So, without any dispute, you both can choose as per your desire. " This was the condition put forth by The Supreme Lord Sri Krishna. Hearing to this Duryodhana thought for a while. But Arjuna was clear from the beginning. He wanted Lord Sri Krishna. Duryodhana chose to go with the army and weapons. He also felt satisfied with his choice. On the other hand, Arjuna relied on Sri Krishna. So, Lord Sri Krishna stood with Arjuna. The great Kurukshetra war occurred. As we all know, Arjuna's side(Pandavas) who had Lord Krishna with them won the war. This shows us that 'what is stable is The Supreme Lord and not the ones which we get from him'. Hence we should ask for The Supreme Lord to be with us because when The Supreme Lord is on our side there can never be an obstacle.

Sarvadasrshi Sadhakiyaru - Madhwa Women Achievers

 Being a true Madhwa lady is as tough life style as a women CEO of large organization How is Kalibadhe to Women? Women been power of the community always, in the past, present and most importantly for future. If dharmik happy life has to be seen on this earth its possible only through brave women. Today with heavy influence of western culture, to be clear western Bad culture influence is much higher than influence of westerns good culture. The culture of cutting cake, waking up in midnight 12 and giving a gift/cake has become totally unavoidable. We are at peak of blind culture by people who said Dharma is blind belief!!! There are several life being sacrificed just because family did not agree to celebrate kids 1st birthday in hotel at the cost of 40-80,000.

People don't want to even show themselves as Madhwas, Brahmins or even married. ...

Nava Vidha Bhakti

|| Shravanam Kirtanam Vishnoh Smaranam Paadasevanam Archanam Vandanam Daasyam Sakhyam Aatmanivedanam || The above sloka is told by Pralhad Rajaru, one of the greatest devotees for whose protection Lord Vishnu came in Narasimha Avatar. As per the above sloka there 9 types of Bhakti 1. Shravanam – Hearing the names and glories of the Lord Shravanam generally means hearing about Leelas or the greatness of God with great interest. So if you are a person with great interest in Ramayan, Mahabharat, Puranas, etc then this is the best way for you. If your friends talk about GOD and his leelas then they are good friends helping you with Shravanam Sadhana. Dasaru are too much Poojaniya because they sang many songs for us to listen and do Shravana Bhakti.  It is better to practice GOOD than opposing BAD. If you want a true leader in Shravanam Bhakti - its Parikshitha Maharaja who knew his death is just 7 days away and being King anything he can enjoy but he devoted all his la...
