GM all I pray Shri Ram to bless all Nationalist Tweeples with health wealth and strength. I pray for @narendramodi Ji @AmitShah Ji @myogiadityanath Ji @nsitharaman Ji and other leaders to be successful in leading the national to 5 trillion dollar economy. Story of Jatayu today

Jatayu was a very old vulture bird.
When he met Ravana, he was very old. He was the King of vultures was not very strong that time.
He saw Sita matha was in trouble and she was calling.
Jatayu did not hesitate a moment to serve her. Not to save her but to serve her.

Jatayu did not think he could save Sita mata. He wanted to serve her.
There is a difference. We always think that we are saving the satsang with all our association, but says it is good to remember that you are just a servant not a saviour.
We cannot do anything except to serve.

So Jatayu few off into the sky to fight Ravana because he wanted to serve Rama.
He said, Body is of no value if it is not used in the service of Rama. The Rama’s most precious mother Sita is being kidnapped. It is my duty to stop this”.
So Jatayu fought with Ravana and gave him a

good run for his money. He made it so difficult for Ravana for a while and thought that Sita is going to be out of this demon king.
But then Ravana’s strength came back. Ravana chopped and chopped and somehow severed the wings and limbs of Jatayu.
Jatayu fell in the midst of heap

of blood and his life was slowly going away.
When his life was going away, Rama and Lakshmana came there.
Seeing Jatayu, they thought that he must be the demon who is trying to catch Sita. So they approached with caution.
When they saw Jatayu actually dying because of Ravana,

Rama’s heart was in pain.
Jatayu praised Rama, Lord please forgive me that I could not execute my service to best of my ability. I failed in my service.
But I tried and I could tell you from my knowledge of shastra, the time in which she is leaving now is an auspicious time.

Whatever you have lost in this time, you will gain back Jatayu even in that condition tried to serve Ram . He didn’t have to because he is already dying. Even then he did not think, I tried to serve you, now I am dying, what kind of a Lord you are?”
But we will do that.

Because we think that if we do something, we must get something back. This is how we approach Bhagavatam.
This is how we approach bhakti. Every time when we come to Krishna, Rama you are very nice but I need this, this, Very nice to see you today, this is my list and I will add

few more as day goes by. This is what we think in our prayer to god.
But we don’t realize our real prayer to Ram should never be that. It is stated in shastras that Jatayu did a service to the Ram, at that point Ram decided to conduct funeral of Jatayu just like he is His father

and they are his sons.
Lord Ram with Lakshman did the funeral and as the body of Jatayu was being burnt, Rama said,”Today the loss of Jatayu is more painful to Me than the loss of Sita”.
This is how Rama values service of devotees. And that service was done with eagerness.

Jatayu fought like a young man.
It was done with devotion and meditation of Rama and the result of that was Jatayu did not die in vain but pacified by darshan of Rama. How many of us can claim to have darshan of Lord at the point when we leave our body? We don’t know.

But Jatayu had that. So what appeared to be a failure of effort materially is actually a great success spiritually and the reason for that is remembrance of Krishna.
Ravana, not being with the lotus feet of the Lord, lost everything. This is the bakthi we need to all inculcate.
