Verse of the day
Bhagavad Gita 2.20 न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि- न्नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः। अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे॥ The soul is never born and never dies; it did not come into being and will not cease to be. Unborn, eternal, everlasting and ancient, it is not slain when the body is slain.Lessons from the stories
Mahabharat · Adi ParvaKing Shantanu and GangaWe don't always see the full story behind our sorrows right away. Patience is often what lets us understand the truth in the end.Ramayan · Bal KandHow the Ramayan Began: Valmiki and NaradValmiki's poetry was born from feeling another creature's pain. Real creativity often begins with compassion.
