The Rabbits' Dilemma - A Small Story

Image
Once upon a time, on the banks of a river, a herd of rabbits lived happily ‘forever’ until one fine day they were made to believe that there was something bigger in store for them. The rabbits have performed good deeds in the past and were blessed by the good Lord with abundant food and water. There was no scarcity whatsoever and their colony always looked green with several varieties of food to toast-on throughout the three seasons of the year. God has blessed them to the extent that nobody could snatch away their colony unless the rabbit herd themselves allowed an intruder. As the rabbits were busy in leading their lives in a peaceful and happy state, there came unexpectedly a herd of elephants, a pride of lions and a streak of tigers along with a pack of wolves as they liked the colony and intended to create an artificial ‘heaven’ by destroying the natural one. The rabbits were rattled with the sudden entry of all the big sized and powerful groups. They only heard that there w

Movie Review - BruceLee(Telugu)

If If you are a mega family fan, it is not difficult for you to understand that this film BruceLee( with tag line The Fighter) has shades of yesteryear's Chiranjeevi's successful movie Vijetha. The 155 minutes movie doesn't bore the audience except in one or two scenes.  Story, screenplay and direction by Srinu Vaitla is above his own benchmark. The screenplay runs in an unpredictable manner which is the highlight of the film. As usual the Director is too fascinated with police and 'undercover' operations. After a long time, we have a song with rich literature in Telugu films especially the first one "run, life ante raceura,run".  Hero Ram Charan Tej as Karthik alias Bruce Lee is extraordinary in his dances and fights. It would not be an exaggeration if we said that in some fight sequences, he was almost resembling the legendary BruceLee especially with the hairdo and movements. He is definitely a tough competition to Allu Arjun in dances. The popular v

Inner Purity

Based on Chapter 1, Volume 3 Om Sri Gurubhyo namaha Let us assume that an individual has performed some good deeds. If that person hears someone praising him or he praises himself for those good deeds, the value of those deeds would diminish. For the same reason if we want to appreciate someone, we should do it in their absence. We keep praying that we should not have any enemies but there is no enemy greater than one's own anger. If there is grace of God, desire, envy, fear and enemies would vanish and man becomes stable. Such person never desires anything, does not angered and never fears anything. If the bad elements in our character are to be removed, the only way is to constantly take the name of the Lord. Devotion is the only tool for achieving  victory over Desire and overcoming the obstacles in life.  "Kaalavakkam prasannanaam kaala kim karishyati?" Some people may say that "We have the knowledge and power, can't we control the senses with our ow

Bhagavadgita

Based on Volume 2, Chapter 12 Om Sri Gurubhyo namaha!!! Of all the Vedanta treatises,   Bhagavadgita   is the most important. It is translated not only in Indian languages but several other international  languages too. The instruction given by  Lord Krishna  to  Arjuna  on the battle field holds good even in these days and is a great source of inspiration for the readers. Arjuna  played the lead role in Bhagavadgita while  Lord Krishna  played his charioteer. Initially,Arjuna asks Krishna to take him to center of the battlefield, sees the armies and decides not to fight but later seeks his guidance and pleads with Him to show the right path. The battle field was not at all suitable for either for preaching or listening to the teacher’s lessons. One doesn’t know whether his head will remain or axed in the next minute.   For instance , let us assume that there is an assembly of people at a music program in an open ground. The moment it starts to rain, people will run helter-
