Glory of Bharatha

From ancient times, kings and emperors in Bharat [India] based their lives on
morality and acquired honor and glory. It is on account of them that Bharat is
called a divine land, the land of karma (right action), the land of yoga (spiritual
practice), and the land of tyaga (sacrifice). The name and fame of Emperor Ashoka
has survived for millennia because he practiced great virtues in his day-to-day
life. Akbar, among Moghul emperors, has been esteemed as a great ruler because of
his conduct as an emperor.

Ramayana story can be taken as a manual for Ruling people more than for any normal
individual. How a King should behave at every different situations he face.
At his younger age Rama went around to see the country. He got dejected seeing the
sufferings of people and became depressed. Then he got advise from his Guru about
the nature of life. These advices compiled together called ‘Yoga Vasishta’ and is
part of Ramayana. Like Bhagavat Gita in Mahabaratha this text will give us a
correct view point towards life.

Rama’s life was full of events where he could apply all these theories he learned.
Even though he was elder son and heir to throne, he did not have any hesitation to
leave his rights and exile the country when he learned about his father’s promise.
In his absence his brother Bharatha ruled the country keeping Rama’s padukas on the
throne. Bharatha also was an ideal example for Kings. After Rama got the throne
back he worked with dedications as a king and when his family needed to be sent
away, he did that for the sake of his peoples satisfaction

6. Message of Mahabharata

It can seen in different levels:

First, greediness of a prince that transformed into a world war, which could have
been avoided by practicing Dharma, ie work towards good for the entire society.

It can be seen as a skit planned as a background before putting forward the dharma
essence Bagavat Gita. So that a leaner can look for examples in the same purana.

Then if you take it is as a guidance for your own life, you can see many stories
which can be examples of different ways of dealing similar situations.
For example: Meeting of 2 friends who belongs to different financial statuses–
Drona and Drupada, Krishna – Kuchela . One led to permanent hatred and many bad
situations other one led to happiness and prosperity.

In the war, Karna’s saradhi was Salya who always talk negative and discouraged
him, While arjuna’s saradhi was Krishna who encourages and help him to go through
difficult situation with courage. From its effects you will know how important is
to choose the right friend or guide.

Seven major rivers (Indus, Brahmaputra, Narmada, Tapi, Godavari, Krishna and
Mahanadi )along with their numerous tributaries make up the river system of India.
Most of the rivers pour their waters into the Bay of Bengal. Some of the rivers
whose courses take them through the western part of the country and towards the
east of the state of Himachal Pradesh empty into the Arabian Sea. Parts of Ladakh,
northern parts of the Aravalli range and the arid parts of the Thar Desert have
inland drainage.
