Who was Meera (Lord Krishna Devotee) in her previous birth?

Who was Meera (Lord Krishna Devotee) in her previous birth? When Lord Shri Krishna was doing Leela in Dwaparyug, Mirabai was also in Braj and her name was Madhavi. Madhavi was married to a boy from Vrindavan whose name was Sunder, who was a friend of Shri Krishna. went but Madhuri's farewell was not done when the time of Madhuri's farewell came near So his mother told him that look you are married in Vrindavan and there lives a boy named Kanhaiya. Madhuri's mother did not know that Shri Krishna is God, she thought that Shri Krishna was just an ordinary child. When Sundar was taking Madhavi away to his home, he told his wife Madhavi that listen here My friend Kanhaiya can be found somewhere on the way. Then Shri Krishna saw that his friend Sundar was coming with his wife, so he ran to him and said, "Friend! You will not introduce me to your daughter-in-law.!" Sundar said that she is your sister-in-law ,meet her. As soon as Madhuri came to know that Shri Krishna had come to see her, she covered her entire body and face with her sari. Because he remembered what his mother had said. Shri Krishna said, “sister-in-law, at least show your face. But Madhuri did not answer, then Shri Krishna said that you are not showing me your face, go from now on you will yearn to see my face. Saying this Shri Krishna left from there and Madhavi and Sundar also returned to their home. Now one day Sundar's mother went to Yashoda Maiya to seek her blessings for her daughter-in-law. Only then Shri Krishna came there and said to his mother that mother, give me something to eat, then the mother said that Lala, sit for a while, I will bring you something to eat. Then Shri Krishna saw that someone had come to his house. He asked mother who has come to the house, then mother said that your friend Sundar's daughter-in-law has come. When Shri Krishna heard this, he ran away from there. Because he said that now I will not see you. You will yearn to see me. Time passed slowly and the time came. At that time, due to pride, Indra rained heavily in Vrindavan. At that time Shri Krishna lifted the Govardhan mountain. Madhavi was also among the Brajvasis hiding under Govardhan mountain, but it was night time, so Madhavi could not see Shri Krishna at that time. But when morning came, Madhavi thought who is this? The one who has lifted the whole mountain with one finger and she turned her gaze to see Shri Krishna and as soon as she saw the face of Shri Krishna she kept looking at him. Seeing his beautiful eyes, beautiful smile and curly hair, she lost her mind and started crying and said, Mother, what kind of education have you given me, this one who looks so beautiful after lifting a mountain, is not an ordinary person. Can. There must be God. And what kind of lesson have you given me that has deprived me of God. Then when Lord Krishna was leaving Vrindavan. Then Madhavi was crying a lot. Lord Krishna said to Madhavi. Madhavi now I will meet you in Kalyug. That's why Madhavi came as Meera in Kalyug.

Is Google an American company or an Indian company?

Is Google an American company or an Indian company? Trump warns Sundar Pichai… “Don’t try to threaten me. It was India that gave me education and knowledge. I am not serving America alone — I am serving humanity.” Sundar Pichai’s powerful reply! At the World Economic Forum, when U.S. President Donald Trump attempted to belittle India on the global stage, Sundar Pichai’s calm yet firm response created a storm at the international level. It was not just a clash of words, but a reflection of dignity, strength, and true leadership. Representing India at the conference were External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. At that moment, Trump remarked: “India talks a lot about technology and democracy. But could India have achieved this progress without American companies and American institutions?” Trying to put India down, Trump’s words prompted Jaishankar to gesture to Sundar Pichai to respond. Pichai began speaking — his voice carried humility, yet his words carried weight and conviction. “Sir, I was born in India. My country gave me education and taught me values. Knowledge and technology do not have a passport. The sacrifices of Indian teachers, engineers, and families laid the foundation for my journey.” Sundar’s straightforward answer left Trump stunned. A little later, Jaishankar added, “Partnerships are not weaknesses, they are strengths,” thereby upholding India’s dignity. The entire hall resonated with applause. On the second day, Trump once again tried to intimidate India using his authority: “If India violates American rules, it will face trade restrictions. Tell me clearly, Sundar — is Google with America or with India?” Pichai remained silent for a moment, then replied: “I will always serve humanity first. America gave me opportunities, India gave me roots. I don’t need to choose one to respect the other. When I innovate and create, I serve both nations. I serve everyone.” His words highlighted the importance of humanity in a world divided by nations. Once again, the auditorium erupted in applause. On the final day of the summit, Trump openly displayed his anger: “India must completely open its market to the U.S. by tonight. Otherwise, it will face restrictions. Sundar Pichai, answer me now — is Google with America or with India?” Sundar Pichai rose calmly and said firmly: “If a nation or an individual tries to threaten me, I will not yield out of fear. I will never be cornered by intimidation. I bow only to respect, never to force. No matter which country it may be, if it demands submission, I will never surrender.” The leaders present stood up and applauded Pichai’s bold stand against Trump. This summit turned into more than just a business negotiation — it became a turning point for humanity, leadership, and principles. Sundar Pichai’s words instilled hope and pride in millions of young people. By refusing to bend before power, and instead upholding humility, respect, and truth, he safeguarded the honor of a nation. This incident strongly reaffirmed in world history that principles are mightier than authority.

*The Fourth Leg of Righteousness*

*The Fourth Leg of Righteousness* (as narrated by Shri J P Sarma) It was early morning when my wife and I boarded the Janmabhoomi train at Visakhapatnam station to attend my friend’s daughter’s wedding at Rajahmundry. The early morning breeze and the train’s rocking movement were soporific and we dozed off until the train halted at Tuni. I hailed a passing vendor and asked for two cups of coffee. I handed over one cup to my wife and took a sip. I complimented him on the coffee and asked, “How much?” as I opened my wallet to find that it had only 200-rupee notes. Hearing his response of twenty rupees, I handed over a 200-rupee note to him. “Don’t you have change?” he asked as he put down his flask and started searching for change in his shirt pocket. The train started, before he could take the change out of his pocket, and sped away. Our compartment was next to the engine so he got no chance to hand over the change though he did attempt to run after the train. I blamed myself for having ordered coffee without checking the availability of change. “Oh my God! How foolish of you! Could you not have taken the change and then handed over the note? What’s the use of your age and experience?”, my wife gleefully took the opportunity to snub me. I tried to justify my action, “Okay, suppose he had given the change and the train had started before I could give him the note…then would it not have been a loss to him?” “What loss? From morning, he would have met ten people like you and at the end of the day he will have only profit, no loss!” replied my wife, with a cynical smile on her face. “We should trust people; poor fellow, what can he do if the train starts? Will he subsist on our money?” My better half was irritated to hear me defending him. “They wait for just such opportunities. If he meets four simpletons like you, it will be enough to earn a day’s living,” grumbled my wife glaring at me. I maintained a stoic silence. “Anyway, you cannot expect him to be as honest and as principled as you are”, she concluded looking around at the other co-passengers, who were all looking at us. The train had picked up speed and we crossed the next station, Annavaram. Gradually, I let go of the slender hope that I had of getting back the change. My wife believes that I get cheated by people since I have a naïve faith in mankind and am kind. I was quite accustomed to being put down by her and being scolded since I believe that she is not correct in distrusting others. I strongly believe that we should see goodness in others and if anyone lacks it, their baseness should be attributed to the environment and conditions in which they grew up. I believe that inside each of us, there is the potential for both good and evil - what we choose depends on the circumstances. Though I have been proved wrong by her on many similar occasions, it did not affect my faith. I believe that dharma or righteousness is upheld by its fourth leg of trustfulness. “Let it go! Poor people! Are they going to build palaces with our money? Forget it!” I said trying to pacify her. She stayed silent, out of her affection for me and I was in no mood to prolong the conversation. The compartment was filled with many standing passengers. I let my gaze slide outside to the fleeing fields. By then many of my co-passengers were looking at me and assessing me according to their perception – some were thinking of me as a fool while others were looking at me with sympathy and pity; some were smiling to themselves about the free entertainment they had enjoyed and some were curious to see what would happen next. By the time the train reached the outskirts of Pitapuram, all had lost their interest in us and were lost in their thoughts. It was then that I heard a voice, “Sir, was it not you who bought two coffees and gave a 200-rupee note?” I turned towards the voice. Pushing his way through the crowd was a teenage boy, who stopped in front of my seat. Suddenly I felt elated though he did not look like the coffee vendor whom I remembered as being middle-aged. “Yes, Son! I did give a 200-rupee note to a coffee vendor but the train sped away before I could receive the change. However, I do not remember buying coffee from you,” I said honestly. “Yes, Sir! But are you the person, who drank the coffee at Tuni station”, he asked me again. “Why would I lie? If you want you can ask these people here.” “No! No, Sir! I do not doubt you but I was just confirming to avoid making a mistake!” Saying this, he took out the change of 180 rupees from his pocket and handed it over to me. “You are...?” “I am his son, Sir” I looked at him with surprise since he seemed to have guessed my doubt. “Sir, every day one or two such incidents happen at Tuni station because the train does not stop for long. In that short time, many people panic, give a note and the train starts before they can receive back the change. That is why, I usually board the train and wait. My father messages me giving details of the persons (of the amount, compartment, and seat number) to whom the change has to be returned. I returned the change and got down at the next station and returned to Tuni by another train. My father leaves some change with me for such transactions.” I was surprised but still managed to ask, “Are you studying?” “Tenth class, Sir! My elder brother helps father in the afternoon and I help him in the mornings”. When I heard this, I felt like talking to his father, so I asked him for his father’s phone number and dialled the number. “Your son has just returned the change for the 200-rupee note. I am calling to express my appreciation for your actions. I am so very happy that you are not only educating your children but more importantly instilling in them the values of honesty and integrity”, I said complimenting him. “That is very nice of you, Sir! I feel honoured that you are taking the trouble to call just to express your appreciation. I have only studied up to the fifth class. In those days, short stories about ethics and morality were narrated to us and textbooks also had material that strengthened values like honesty and integrity so we learnt to differentiate between good and bad, right from wrong. It is those principles, that guide me to lead a trouble-free honest life.” As I listened to his words on the phone, I was amazed by his words and thought process. He continued, “But today those values are not taught in schools. What children are taught these days is as unhealthy as giving spicy food to babies. When my children were studying at home, I used to listen to them and I noticed that the curriculum no longer has moral stories, inspiring poetry, or children’s books by Paravastu Chinnayasuri – nothing of value! That is why I entrust them with simple tasks like these to pass on the few values that I know. That is all!” I was amazed by the foresight of this man and I just patted the son on his shoulders. My wife was taken aback seeing the glow of joy on my face as I placed the 180 rupees, returned by the boy in my wallet. She gave me an apologetic sheepish smile because she knew that the joy was not in the money regained. I remembered that in Srimad Bhagavatham, righteousness or dharma is described as Nandi the ‘bull’ who stands on four ‘legs’—austerity, cleanliness, kindness, and trust or truthfulness. The Bhagavatham also predicts that all four legs will not be equally strong over epochs of time - representing the degree of decline of righteousness. In the world, during the Satya Yuga, the first stage of development, the bull would stand firmly on all four legs but as the yugas changed, one by one the legs would be broken and lost until finally in Kali-yuga (the present age) only truthfulness or trust would be the dominant form of Dharma or righteousness. *Reflection* This humble coffee vendor’s action appears to be proof that as predicted righteousness or dharma still flourishes in this World though it is on its fourth leg of truthfulness. As I watched the boy move down the compartment, I mentally saluted the coffee vendor! (Shri J.P.Sarma is a State Bank of India employee and the author of Edari Parugu: Kadhala Samputi in Telugu).

*The Decline of Friendship :*

*The Decline of Friendship :* I recently read an article in the February issue of Harvard Business Review that deeply resonated with me. It discusses how the “Friendship Recession,” or the declining trend of meaningful friendships, is slowly taking root in our lives. According to the American Perspectives Survey, the number of American adults who say they have “no close friends” has quadrupled since 1990, reaching 12%. Meanwhile, the number of people with “10 or more close friends”* has decreased by one-third. I believe a similar trend is emerging in urban areas of India—while acquaintances are increasing, deep friendships are becoming rarer. In the past, people would easily strike up conversations with strangers at cafés or bars. Now, people sit alone, disconnected from the crowd. In the U.S., the number of people dining alone has risen by 29% in the last two years. Stanford University has even introduced a course called “Design for Healthy Friendships,” highlighting that forming and maintaining friendships now requires learning and effort. This is not just a social issue but a cultural crisis. Making time for friendship should no longer be a luxury but a priority. Loneliness is no longer a choice; it’s becoming a habit. If we don’t consciously prioritize friendship, not only will making new friends become difficult, but we’ll also lose old connections. Religious gatherings, clubs, sports, and volunteer organizations, which once fostered friendships, are declining. We’ve become confined to social media, family responsibilities, and even pets. Yes, some friends don’t meet because their pets can’t be left alone! Today, friendship is no longer a part of daily life; it happens only when other responsibilities are fulfilled. Yet, research emphasizes the importance of friendship. In Bonnie Ware’s book The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, one poignant regret stands out: “I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends” Research shows: - Social isolation increases the risk of heart disease, dementia, and mortality. - It’s as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. - Friendships improve mental, physical, and emotional health. - Harvard’s 80-year study* found that the greatest source of happiness and health in life is not wealth or career, but close relationships. True friendship is like an investment—forgive, call, make memories, and spend time together. As Mirza Ghalib beautifully said: “O God, grant me the chance to live with my friends, for I can stay with You even after death.” Cherish friendships, make time, and enrich your life with meaningful relationships.

Why can’t Sudarshan chakra harm Mahadev?

Why can’t Sudarshan chakra harm Mahadev? Because Sudarshana Chakra is not that powerful. Simple….!!!!! However, The case is vice versa. Here Sudarshana Chakra can't harm Mahadeva. On other side, Shiva's Trishul can't harm Narayana. Both Shiva and Narayana are beyond death. No weapon can anyhow harm them. Thankyou.

Who is Lord Satyanarayan?

Who is Lord Satyanarayan? Satyanarayana is a form of Lord Vishnu. It is said that when Vishnu failed to get the end of the infinite pillar, Vishnu said the truth that he failed. Satisfied, Shiva gave the name of Satyanarayan to Vishnu (one who says the truth) and blessed him to have his own temples, idols, rituals etc. While Shiva cursed Brahma and Ketaki to never be worshipped and be neglected from all sacrifices and worships. Since then, Vishnu was as worshipped as Shiva and was famous as Satyanarayan.
