In Mahabharat, Karna asks Lord Krishna-"My mother left me the moment I was born. Is it my fault I was born an illegitimate child? I did not get the education from Dhronacharya because I was considered not a Kshatriya.
#LordKrishna
Parshu-Raam taught me but then gave me the curse to forget everything when he came to know I was Son of Kunthi belonging to a Kshatriya. A cow was accidentally hit by my arrow & its owner cursed me for no fault of mine. I was disgraced in Draupadi's Swayamvar.
#LordKrishna
Even Kunthi finally told me the truth only to save her other sons. Whatever I rcvd was through Duryodhana's charity. So how am I wrong in taking his side!"
#LordKrishna
Lord Krishna replies, "Karna, I was born in a jail. Death was waiting for me even before my birth. The night I was born I was separated from my birth parents. From childhood, you grew up hearing the noise of swords, chariots, horses, bow, and arrows.
#LordKrishna
I got only cow herd's shed, dung, and multiple attempts on my life even before I could walk!No Army, No Education. I could hear people saying I am the reason for all their problems.
#LordKrishna
When all of you were being appreciated for your valour by your teachers, I had not even received any education. I joined Gurukula of Rishi Sandipani only at the age of 16!
#LordKrishna
I had to move my whole community from banks of Yamuna to far off sea shore to save them from Jarasandh. I was called a coward for running away. If Duryodhana wins the war you'll get a lot of credit. What do I get if Dharmaraja wins the war? Only blame for war.
#LordKrishna
Remember one thing Karna. Everybody has challenges in life. LIFE IS NOT FAIR & EASY ON ANYBODY. But what is Right (Dharma)is known to your Mind (conscience).
#LordKrishna
No matter how much unfairness we got, how many times we were disgraced, how many times we fall, what is important is how you REACTED at that time.
#LordKrishna
Life's unfairness does not give you license to walk the wrong path. Always remember, Life may be tough at few points, but DESTINY is not created by the SHOES we wear but by the STEPS we take...
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.
Maha Shivaratri is also called Night of Awakening. The day before the Amavasya (new moon) of each lunar month is called Shivaratri. It is the day Lord Shiva was married to Maa Parvati. Maha Shivaratri marks the night when Lord Shiva performed the ′Tandava′. #HarHarMahadevॐ
Among all the Shivaratris of the year, the one that falls in the lunar month of Magha in Feb-March each year is considered to be most auspicious. As per Hindu calendar Maha Shivaratri is observed on the 13th night/14th day in the Krishna Paksha every year on the month of Falgun.
It marks the convergence of Shiva and Shakti. Of the twelve Shivaratris in the year, the Maha Shivaratri is the most holy. Mahashivarathri has many symbolisms and stories attached to it. Among householders, it is considered the night when Shiva married Parvati.
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.

Once there lived an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna by the name Poonthaanam. He worshipped Guruvayurappan (Lord Krishna) with all his heart and soul. People loved him for his beautiful Bhagavatam discourses. #SanatanTales #SrimadBhagvatam
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.
He had a bath in the holy river. He worshiped the compassionate Lord Shiva. He felt happy and stayed there for a few days. He recited Bhagavatam everyday in front of the deity and several hundreds of people listened to his sweet discourse on the wonderful pastime...
