The love story of Radha and Shree Krishna is perpetual and awe-inspiring, a symbol of the divine union between Paratmatma and Jivatma, the universal self and the individual self. The tale of Shyamsundar and Radhika is a beautiful legend celebrated across thousands of years.

And Krishna devotees across many generations are still fascinated by Radha-Krishna romance. In fact, the names of Radha and Krishna are always spelt out in one breath, implying without Radha, Krishna is not complete and without Shyamsundar, Radha is incomplete.

Some lessons to learn from the love story of this divine couple. When the Lord played His flute in the beautiful forests of Vrindavan on a full moon night, the gopis listened to the tunes emanating from Krishna’s flute.

According to Sanatan Dharma, there are 24 Ekadashis that fall in the whole year, out of which Vijaya Ekadashi is considered to be very significant. Vijaya Ekadashi is observed on the eleventh day (Ekadashi) in the Phalgun month during the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight).

According to the name, a person who observes this Ekadashi fast always remains victorious over their enemies and opponents. Vijaya is one of the principal gatekeepers of Lord Vishnu’s celestial abode Vaikuntha. He and his brother Jaya are thought to protect the heavenly kingdom.

It is said that victory can be achieved by fasting on Vijaya Ekadashi even in dire circumstances when the person is surrounded by enemies. In ancient times, many kings and emperors have won a fierce battle due to the effect of this fast.

The Mahābhārata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of #AncientIndia and the longest Sanskrit epic consisting of over 100,000 shloka or over 200,000 individual verse lines (each shloka is a couplet). The epic is part of itihasa.
#Mahabharata

Besides its epic narrative of the Kurukshetra War and the fates of the Kauravas and the Pandavas, it contains philosophical and devotional material, such as a discussion of the four "goals of life" or purusharthas. The latter are enumerated as Dharma (right action),...

Artha(purpose), Kama (pleasure), and Moksha (liberation). The epic is ascribed to sage Vyasa, who is also a major character in the epic. The first section of the Mahābhārata states that it was Lord Ganesha who, at the request of Vyasa, wrote down the text to Vyasa's dictation.

There is a temple in North Kerala called Kottiyoor. The significant deity in the temple is Lord Shiva. The temple was kept open only for a few days during a year with no human activities in that place for the rest of the year. Once Poonthaanam reached the Kottiyoor temple.
