Dedicated to the nameless warriors who throughout the ages fought for their ancient Dharma till the end. It is because the blood they shed and the sacrifices they endured that India still retains her original name: Bharatavarsha

“laziness and irregular practice corrupts the intelligence of scholars and ruins their knowledge. Women under the influence of others are soon ruined. Lack or shortage of seeds results in lower crop output. Similarly, in the absence of the commander, the army can never win a war. Thus, in order to get superior results, the importance of regular practice must be understood.”

“For a Brahmin, who gives importance to acts, even the pleasures of heaven are useless; whereas, for a Kshatriya, who takes pride and feels honoured in taking risks, he is least bothered about his life. Any man, who exercises control over all his senses, remains unmoved by the looks/beauty of a young woman. He is never affected by disorders like lust, anger, greed, liquor, infatuation,”

“The storyteller must tell the tale without any conscious bending of the facts, and the only way to do that is to trust his subconscious mind and let the words flow. And part of the scribe’s job is to write down the content of the story without losing its coherence and theme as a whole. For this, the scribe must understand what he is writing.”

“Every person has his own thinking, every culture has its philosophy. We have no right to thrust our thinking or philosophy on the other person. Likewise others too do not have any right to force their thinking or philosophy on us.”

“Chanakya says that like rain serves no purpose over a sea, a candle is useless in daylight, it is useless to feed a person who is not hungry and give alms to a rich person. Chanakya says that rain is required in fields and candle is required in darkness; food must be fed to a hungry person and alms must be given to the poor.”
