Namo Mantras - Strategic Lessons from Mr. Modi's Feat

Protected by Copyscape Plagiarism Checker

 This journey of a 'Chaiwallah' to 7RCR ( even the bunglow's name abbreviates like Sarkaar), It was not a simple feat or favouring of Lady Luck, Mr. Modi who was mostly an extramural student, completing his education through Distance Learning correspondence courses, created a history and given the management lessons that even elite Harvard people could never fathom. 

Its clear that this victory is not only to be talked of, but to be learnt from, making it a case study.
So what are the leading points that can be learnt from this historic feat. Come what may, this Man is really made of Iron, who stirred long lost emotions of countrymen, whether it is with acchchhe din aane wale hai aur with his homage to Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel for Statue of Unity

Jo tum ko ho pasand wahi baat kahenge ( will speak only what you wish to hear)- Modi always went for a 'win-win' situation, whether dealing with a stressed out Ratan Tata after Singur Problem when he invited him to Gujrat stating, this will be a J.V between Gujrat State and Tata Group, or whether dealing with MSME industries ,or addressing the weavers of Varanasi, or assuring the common man of transparent governance, effective administration or development, he was showcased as Merchant of dreams reloading the hope matrix and wagon of hataash niraash ( disappointed and with no hopes )  common man.

Dealing with competition, isolate your rival from the masses or prove them insignificant : When ramadoss said a chaiwallah could never become the Prime Minister of India , he did singular service to Mr. Modi’s cause. He turned the pejorative jibe into a talisman that merged his humble beginnings, his struggle and his ambition into the narrative of the entire campaign at the same time Modi was highlighting his archrival 'born with silver ( could as well be gold with diamond studded) spoon  in his mouth'  heir of the scion as ‘Shehzaada’ or ‘rahul baba’, a tag sufficient to make a common man think of him as still childish someone, not as a head of the state.  He began his famous ‘Chai pe Charcha’ and I guess this Chai of his  was as effective as the ‘Boston Tea Party’

Be unpredictable - Throughout his campaigning, he was unpredictable, he played different strokes for the different folks and never once used one strategy twice. Aggressively taken care of internal hostility for his candidature even by his seniors but never forget to bend and bow and touch their feet, ignored kejriwal , lashed out at Manmohan singh, ridiculed Rahul Gandhi, told Priyanka she is like his daughter, Laughed at 'Sonia Ben ' when she called him Merchant of death and told the fun only began when Sonia ben entered the field during state election of Gujrat. World is dynamic, so should be your strategy.

Align your entire team to the final goal. – The entire co-ordination of hierarchy of this leader to his wingmen to his foot-soldiers was electrifying and transfused with enthusiasm and diligence. He straight away said dont look at the candidate, look at me. 

Mere paas Maa hai – Where Maa is concerned, we Indian wear emotions on sleeves, so connect emotionally with the people of the country, your target audience. Unlike Rahul baba, he never limits his mother to his birth mother only, but Bharat Mata, Bhaajpa (BJP) Maa, Ganga Maa as well. After all Maa represent the half world population. Indian like the face of their leader as pragmatic yet emotional. Give respect to woman folk, it will increase your popularity.


Mujh pe ek ehsaan karna, ki mujhpe koi ehsaan na karna – Poor kejriwal through out his campaign was in a way marketing Mr. Modi trying to provoke him but in return only received silence, when Mr. Modi never  mentioned him once, even after his surprising victory in Delhi State election. Where kejriwal was concerned, Modi was silent and stoic, waiting this euphoria to fade away on its own and for kejriwal to give his foot into his mouth. Modi knew even a single remark will create media frenzy wave for kejriwal which he beautifully and strategically devoid him off. 


Establish Credibility before placing yourself for the ultimate challenge - He placed his Gujrat modal for development and his erstwhile tenure of turning State of Gujrat from dust to Gold. After proving his credentials amongst all section of society and citizen, he placed himself for the ultimate trial by fire, projecting himself as Candidate for PM, clearly defining his commitment and dedication for striving and toiling towards it. While others were beating around the bush over  the idea and act coy, Modi has always been clear he wanted and firmly presented himself for that. His allies came forward singing hymns when they were convinced of his potentiality.

Set the target and break the complexity into sub target - There is a story of Chanakya, when he was contimuously receiving set back to destroy Nand's empire, then during another hide out, he sought shelter in an old lady's cottage, where the hostess served him and chandragupt maurya some steaming hot rice. When Chanakya burnt his finger while trying to break the food from centre, the lady laughed and said " arent you behaving like Chankya?", perplexed Chanakya asked how, she answered try break our bites from corners instead of attacking centres, Rice there has been cooled" 
Mr. Modi also did the same, he first broke the entire target into sub parts and assigned each part to his trusted soldier by delegating the authority like UP to his right handed man Amit Shah.

Plan Meticulously - its said that failing to plan is planning to fail, Modi is Plan Man of highest order, who emphasised planning and controlling with precision. 


Create Punchline that ring in the minds for long - Whether 'chappan ki chhati', achchhe din aane wale hai or ab ki baar modi sarkaar, he made his remarks mass popular and could reflect an element of truth, unlike congress ka ' kattar soch nahi yuva josh' because this sort of canvassing infuriated that yuva josh only , who is fed up of scams of the hopeless govt and has not forgotten that this yuva josh was  lathi charged at by congress Govt. when they demanded justice for Nirbhaya. Kathni karni ek karo Rahul baba coz as Modi ji reminded" Janta Maaf nahi karegi"

Act, act and it will probably come true - Dreaming is not sufficient, act on it and dream is the vision, 

Reality Distortion – Steve Jobs might have practiced it, but Modi became Head Master of this discipline. Priyanka Gandhi might still be wondering how come her ‘neech rajneeti’ remark got converted into ‘ neech jaati’ winning accolades for Mr. Modi and offering him a penetration into the hearts of backward classes.

Hit the iron when it is hot - Whether taking the former PM Manmohan Singh on independence day or frustration with the Congress lackadaisical governance at the centre, Mr. Modi identified the opportunity and started creating the friendly wave in his favour.
He also make it a point to ride on popularity wave while capitalizing every opportunity.


Always behave like a duck, keep calm and unruffled on the surface, but paddle vigorously underneath - THis dream began from 2011, when in an investor's summit, all the stalwarts of indian industries supported and appreciated Mr. Modi's powerful persona and one voiced up the desire to see him as leader of the nation. 
Thus began a ground work from grass root level to convert this dream into reality

Think out of box  - Mr. Modi is the first  political figure in the country who has mobile apps that lead to his blogs and website. his website is stated to be the most organized one. 

Branding - When dealing with globe trotting investors, he presented himself as CEO of Gujrat Inc. When he was ridiculed as 'Chai Wallah ' cannot be a P.M., he used this image to connect himself with lower section of economy, making them feel as if its our own 'banda'. 

Look Before You Leap - before facing your audience, research thoroughly and then step up on the podium. Mr. Modi definitely dreamed of this height, but as well layering every step and his every speech was foresighted and well planned.

A Marked into heart conversation - Keep you communication lucid effective and confident, infuse it with integrity, affirmative body language and face in relaxed position. Secondly his addresses are never monologue, he tries to make it a dialogue.

Stoic  - Mr. Modi never gave any hints of anxiety prepolls or excitement when confirmed a history is created. He was Stoic throughout without any flinching or balking. His calm cool demeanor is worth adapting and his biggest strength during stress management.

Connecting with the people, choose right platform  - When USA denied him visa, he spoke to NRIs through video conferencing. Even USA underestimated this power and after ridiculing him and black listing him on the grounds of secular 
Mr. Modi used latest technology and social media to connect with people as well the traditional medium of road shows and rallies in a  proactive interactive way.
Says an Indian Express report: “Narendra Modi rallies have, in recent times, gone on to become full-fledged stage productions involving light, sound, carefully chosen music, stage design and sky cameras — all intended to enhance viewer experience and build the Modi brand.”
An Economic Times report explains why a Modi rally is not just any event: “At every Modi meeting, an army of volunteers combs through the crowd, gathering feedback, profiling attendees and making a headcount. Later the party's IT cell collates all the data.”

Develop strong communication and support system at all levels of hierarchy, from grass root level to top admin - Mr. Modi is known for his intense connection with kaaryakarta to senior party leaders.

 Create a friendly wave, then take on the blazing guns - Mr. Modi initialyy gave the interviews to friendly media person, and when he knew he has taken a giant leap where popularity is concerned, took on the blazing guns.

Keep confidence in your confidantes for confidential matters – Mr. Modi knows the importance of intelligence network and had it demonstrated while dealing initial unrest over his candidature with former police offiver Vanjara’s letter making rounds against him.

Tackling too many rivals at same time -  When Digvijay Singh was firing him for his marital status, he kept his dignified silence and never bothered to answer, came pristine white after declaring himself a married man when all the hue cry subsided coz Diggi was too busy dealing with his own love life. 
Btw I am still wondering how those intimate pics of Old Diggi with his lady love went viral.  
Strategy clearly reveals the 'management by exception' phenomenon.

Quizzed up for Quiz - Organizing the event

Protected by Copyscape Plagiarism Checker

Quizzed up – How to organize a Quiz
Quizzing is one game that blends stress, crisis, lateral thinking, time management, strategic planning  all into one. A good quiz is not only about contestant, it also include good organizational team as well as quizzer with magnetic personality who knows how to create nail biting excitement, suspense, curiosity, inquisitiveness  and enthusiasm, not only among contestants, but in audience as well.

Key points to keep in mind for organizing a Quiz.

Master of the Ceremony – The  Quiz Master
That’s right, a quiz master is master of the ceremony, he should be the arbitrator, assert authority in case of conflict and dispute and let all know that his will be the final word in such case. Do not bend to the wishes of contestants and should not tolerate any non sense. But at the same time, be witty, humorous and with quick reflexes and have superb timing to either create tension or to deflate some. Because his job is not only to involve participants but make the audience actively involved in the quiz instead of being mere onlookers.
A quiz master is a public speaker as well, so you should be clearly audible, flexible in approach with correct diction, pronunciation and your facts should be cross checked and answers correctly spelled.

A million dollar question – how to frame questions

Give a clue – Its not necessary that contestant should know all answers, but by using reasoning and logic, they can pick the hint in question and derive answers.

Hot and Cold – Quiz that is too easy to answer or too difficult to answer loses all its charm. Format questions that there are easy, medium and difficult question, but frame the questions in such way  that not only contestants, but even audience have brain storming time while thinking answers. That will keep them glued to the show. As stated correctly in  Quiz night by Reader’s Digest  – One or two difficult question is enough to separate men from the boys.

Questions should have  only one specific answer, not many generalized answers – Your question should have only one possible answer and that too not mysterious, obscure or  enigmatic.

Keep suspense in buzzer question : Buzzer round questions should be something that reveal itself inch by inch, coz anxiety and excitement in buzzer round is often game changer. Keep the question that unfurl itself slowly with next hint, coz contestant would jump into the wagon in haste, and anxiety excitement and patience will decide the strategy as well as fate of the  teams.

KISS ( keep it short and sweet ) the rapid fire round – elaborated answer in rapid fire is time consuming. Try to frame questions so that maximum can be attempted by the team

Prepare reserve set of questions: in case of tie, prepare a few questions to be used if need arise.



Its Show Time Folks -  the main event

Check the microphones, audio system, buzzer system and computers.

Create an efficient team and delegate responsibility.

Keep your attire decent and formal, after all we are here for some serious business.

Keep technical person handy in case of some fault or mishap.

Organize the question and answer cards, score cards and answer sheets.

Keep themes and interesting rules like bonus, double or negative marks to create neck to neck competition.

Have interesting audio visual and thematic rounds as well.

Quiz is informative entertainment that helps in brain conditioning with time, stress, skills, crisis and strategic management with logical reasoning. Keep all these factors in mind and have great time wooing your audience and contestants.

"Mom, I need to say something"

Protected by Copyscape Plagiarism Checker

"Mom, I need to say something, I dont like when bhaiya touches me"


This is the story of a dear student of mine. She was serene, quiet and introvert child, whose presence in class is hardly noticeable. One day she caught up in a brawl, and this girl who barely speaks a word in class was fluently screaming all expletives of worst kind. It felt as if she has been occupied by I dont know what force. Well, I did one thing right, BY NOT BEING JUDGEMENTAL. I just walked, gave her a smile and told her, " this was not you, you are not this".

She looked at me " You think so?"
Her lost eyes magnetically pulled me, without thinking much I said " I Know So."

That was a few months back. Today I received a text from her, She asked me if she could get a few minutes of mine, its urgent.

I called her " Sweetie Pie, whenever you wish to", not knowing what is about to come.

This girl is repeatedly raped by her cousin since 2 years. Now this beast is about to marry and still is carrying this heinous act, whenever she is alone. She lives in joint family and this abuse is resulted out of property disputes between her father and this cousin. This beast carried out this vengeance on her since her tender age. When she tried telling this to her mom, she snapped and shouted on her and was indifferent. Poor child couldnt tell what happened to her. Not only this, she is frequently beaten by her parents because they think she has an affair whenever she tries to dodge away rather than to be alone in the house with this 'bhaiya'.

And she also tried taking her life.


I will be there for this girl, and so will be her best friends, but I request all mothers, please take your daughter seriously when she says, " I dont like when Bhaiya touches me", Coz being a girl , she is intuitive to 'good touch' and 'bad touch'.

Statistics says that more than 73% rapist are relative or acquaintance. Save your child from all such 'uncles or bhaiyas'. And try to bring her out of this nightmare by giving her all love and care. She is a tender bud, treasure her, cherish her.

and this one if for that dear student of mine

" Angel, you have been a fighter and you are not alone. Nothing can ever smudge your spirit, you are as precious as the lotus bud. For me, you are as sweet as that honey river flowing in paradise, you are as beautiful as the first rain that washes away the dust. Do not let a beast ever cloud your life"

'SHE' - the half world

Protected by Copyscape Plagiarism Checker


‘SHE’ ,  ‘We’ and ‘They’

‘She’  died. I will not call her with any other symbolic name of ‘Damini’ ‘Nirbhaya’ or ‘Amanat’ because for me, ‘She’ is so precious and delicate and pristine that I do not want to give her some name that suggest any religion. ‘She’ represents her entire sisterhood,the half world of this planet and  her brethren.
‘She’ was full of life, even when she was trampled, crushed and treaded brutally, she willed to live. Dear ‘She’, you have ignited a torch in the hearts of ‘We’, the people, galvanized them for action and  made the pepsi versioned youngistan to be the real disciplined youth, who fight for his rights with responsibilities of a true citizen befitting the real 'Gandhian' way, who can opt for violence but do not do so because he is fighting for a victim of a type  of violence, who is not afraid of sec 66 a or section 144, still respect and places his faith in  the law and judiciary and only demands to strengthen the hands of Judiciary. Whose will-power cannot be ever broken with water cannon or tear gas or lathis, who grieves the demise of a constable, and before that tried to revive him when he fall on ground. Dear ‘She’, you also  taught the electronic media, the important lesson of respecting a common men and not to mouth water on sensationalizing  the news for TRP. You have become immortal.

One Indian woman died in foreign land due to complications in pregnancy, immediately the laws were changed, another Indian woman died in homeland after battling for 13 days for life when abused barbarically that led to multi organ failure, our politicos are busy grinding their own axes, bravo.

They are not part of us, I will prefer to call them ‘they’. ‘They’ cannot bring special parliament session, why to work extra time, ‘They’ claimed to have daughters,even telling their numbers ( who never leave without that X, Y or Z security), as if ‘We’ are involved in population census, then ‘They’ call ‘We- the common man’ the maosit, wondering if the new definition of maosit is  – it’s the person who also happens to be that voter who send ‘Them’ to these seats for legislation, but later on dares to question ‘Them’. ‘Their’ kith and kin can call anything to ‘She’, blaming her and asking her to surrender rather than fighting, calling her demonstrating brethren with cheap tart names, ‘They’ are like the feudal lords and royals who refuses to come out of their palaces and mansions to be amongst ‘We- the people’ after election, but definitely do not forget to dine and post the pics that ‘They’ have eaten with a so called particular caste, even highlighting poor fellow’s caste to whole nation prior to elections. But not now  when all ‘We’ wanted was empathy, few answers and action, a diktat to punish those beast. ‘They’ didn’t say a word as if those beast or likes of , were from their clan. And why not, after all we have so many voyeuristic ‘They’ watching x rated stuff in assemblies. Amazed to see that if ‘They’ want a parallel job, ‘They’ all are born actors. Kudos, ‘They’ should try their hands in that, ‘They’ will easily end our draught for Oscars.

All are hopes are now pinned on Judiciary. We have seen the first two pillars of ‘Democracy’ crumbling, we have seen administration and legislation carrying their duties ‘effectively’, now please judiciary, come out for ‘We’ and ‘She’.Can we have tougher and speedier judgement. Can these beasts be kept behind the bars with increased tenure rather than just 7 years. Its less even when ‘She’ is just molested, what about when she is mutilated as well. We have 43.22 Lacs of cases pending in High Courts and 65 K+ cases queued up in Apex Court. Even the so called assured ‘Fast Track Court’ are now snailed with all the piled up cases.
These data are just those where ‘She’ came out to tell what happened to her. There are incidences when ‘She’ is molested by her very own near blood relatives sometimes even juvenile. Please make strong amendments in Juvenile Act that these criminals do not get escape from judicial claws on the basis of birth certificate. ‘She’ was abused by a 16 year old boy as well, one who cant  claim to be ignorant child because at such tender age, he is doing ghastly and heinous acts. He cannot be a juvenile.

 And then we have long list of blame game. I belong to the world of education by profession and recently, in an article read that educators should take responsibility for such anti-social elements. I refuse to be blamed for these beasts. Dronacharya taught both Kauravas and Pandavas under one roof, he is not responsible for the modus operandi of kauravas. The real cause lies that Dhritrashtra was blind, and Gandhari blindfolded herself and both couldn’t see what their blue eyed son was doing. Stop this blame game for heaven sake.
But yes I take responsibility for the weaker ‘She’, and ask all the male counterpart creations that don’t send your daughter to any fancy dance or art and craft class, don’t teach her how to move on tunes, but first how to break those bones that dared to make a move on her.

R.I.P Dear ‘She’, ‘We’ wish we were there to protect you. ‘We’ are sorry….

the blame game

Protected by Copyscape Plagiarism Checker


They say we are bestowed with this precious life just once, yet mainly its spent in whining, complaining, blaming other, because we are too coward to admit whatever happening to us is our fault. That what we did can undone only by us, or can be corrected by us.

Once a a friend of mine, who happened to be a tarot card reader, told me, one of his client asked what the outcome will be of her affair which was with a married man, and as usual, she was promised wedding by that guy as soon as divorce will be there. My friend predicted that no such case is happening in fact, the guy is on verge of second time fatherhood. The client defied his prophecy. Later on when the event turn out to be true, the client blasted stating, " we broke up, your prophesy made her pregnant, you made her pregnant... "

Poor rune reader... he was shell shocked, his reading made a woman pregnant.. wow

कृष्ण की गोकुल से विदाई

माता यशोदा के चरण स्पर्श कर रहे कृष्ण के मस्तक पर ममता की ऊष्मा लिये अश्रु अभिषेक कर रहे थे। बाबा नन्द जैसे जड़वत थे। सबको प्रणाम कर बलभद्र एवं कृष्ण रथ की ओर अग्रसर हुए। माता यशोदा  के गौर मुखाकृति को कान्हा के  नीलवर्ण हाथो में समेटकर ऐसे प्रतीति दे रहे थे जैसे सूर्य को नील मेघ ने आच्छादित कर दिया हो  आज कान्हा की प्रिय गौएँ के बड़े बड़े चक्षु भी अश्रु निर्झर प्रवाहित कर रहे थे। रथ के समीप खड़ी राधिका के निकट पहुँचकर चरण यंत्रवत थम गए। गोकुल की वह प्राण प्रिय सखी आज मौन थी। मुरली की मधुर तान सदृश लगने वाली वाणी की स्वामिनी आज चुप थी। किसी देवालय में प्रतिष्ठित देव प्रतिमा सम शांत। हाँ, कुछ रिक्तता थी उस देव प्रतिमा में, इस सांवरे को मोहने वाली निश्छल  मुस्कान आज मुख कमल पर न थी, था तो अश्रुओ का अथांह  सागर, जिसे नयनो के बाँध बड़ी कठिनाई से रोके थे। यमुना की जल तरंग जिस तरह प्लावन में उद्वेलित होती है, वैसे अश्रुओ  को नयन कपाट रोके हुए थे।
अब तक राधा कृष्ण का मौन संवाद शब्द का प्रारूप लेने पर बाध्य हो गया।
"राधिके, मेरी अनुपस्थिति में मैय्या, बाबा एवं नन्द गाँव का ध्यान रखना, होली, गोवर्धन उसी उल्लास एवं हर्ष उत्साह से मनाना। मेरे विछोह में यहाँ किंचित भी उदासी न छाने देना।"

अब तक देव प्रतिमा सी अविचलित खड़ी राधिका अंततः बोल पड़ी " बस करो कान्हा, और कितने दुष्कर कार्य सौंपोगे, तुम्हारे बिना होली क्या, हर दिवस रंगहीन होगा, यमुना की तरंगे रेत में अंकित तुम्हारे पद चिन्हों खोजेंगी, ये पूर्वा मथुरा में तुम्हे छूने के लिए लालायित हो पूरे वेग से उस ओर बहेंगी, तुम्हारी प्रिय पारिजात पुष्प कदाचित इस कुंजवन को सुवासित करना  ही छोड़ दे, अपनी कनिष्क पर जिस गिरिराज को तुमने धारण कर कृतार्थ  किया था, वह भी अपनी गंभीर मुद्रा को त्याग कर रोने के लिए अधीर है, और तुम कहते है सबका ध्यान रखना" इतना कहकर उस अराधिका का कंठ अवरुद्ध हो गया।
 नयनो के कोरों पर उतर आये अश्रू को पुनः चक्षु कपाट में बंद कर स्वयं को संयत कर बोली " जानती हो कान्हा, आज समस्त ब्रह्माण्ड में तुम्हे गोकुल में रोकने का सामर्थ्य मुझ में है, पर तुझमे ही एकाकार हूँ, तेरा ही प्रतिबिम्ब हूँ, गोविन्द गोपाल से युगंधर बनने की तुम्हारी यात्रा में आज तुम्हे न रोकना ही इस यात्रा में मेरा योगदान है। जानती हूँ के अब तेरे दर्शन जीवन की सांध्य वेला में होगा, तब भी तुझे गोकुल के दायित्वों से मुक्त करती हूँ, बस एक बिनती है, वृन्दावन को न भूलना, माता देवकी के स्पर्श  में मैया यशोदा का आँचल और नवनीत याद रखना, पिता वसुदेव की वाणी में बाबा नन्द को यदा कदा स्मरण कर लेना, भविष्य में जिस राज्य सभा में तारक मंडल में सूर्य की भाँती दैदीप्यमान होंगे, उसमे अपने ग्वाल सखा  द्वारा निर्मित खेल प्रांगण की छवि भी देख लेना, अपने रत्न जटित सिंहासन पर विराजमान होकर उस शिला को भी याद कर लेना जिस पर बैठ कर तुमने अपनी मुरली की तान से सबको सम्मोहित किया था। जलधि में जिस अकल्पनीय नगर का निर्माण करोगे, उसमे रहकर गोकुल को न भूलना. अपने भव्य राज प्रासाद में कभी कभी गोकुल की इन गोपिकाओ को भी याद कर लेना"

अपने को पुनः संयत कर वह आगे बोली, ' जाओ कान्हा, एक नवयुग की संरचना कर इस गोकुल और वृन्दावन को अमरत्व प्रदान करो, हां एक विनती और है, जब अपने समस्त  दायित्वो से मुक्त हो जाओ तब अपनी वृद्धा हो चुकी इस सखी से मिलने आ अवश्य जाना. तब तक यह मुरली हमें सौंप दो, ताकि गोकुल वासी तुम्हारी इस धरोहर को स्पर्श कर धन्य हो सके।"

कृष्ण जानते थे राधिके ने मुरली क्यों माँगी. मुरली उनके गोप जीवन का प्रतीक थी और यही ग्वाल जीवन मांग राधा ने उन्हें गोपालक से क्षत्रिय धर्मं केपथ  लिए मुक्त कर दिया। राधा जानती थी की भविष्य में उसके श्याम सांवरे को  इन्ही हाथो में सुदर्शन धारण करना है, तब दिव्य सुदर्शन की तीक्ष्णता और कोमल मुरली को लेकर कान्हा कभी असमंजन में न रहे, और मुरली की सुरीली तान सुदर्शन के प्रक्षेपण के समय उसकी कठोर गर्जना में दब कर न रह जाए, इसलिए प्रेम योग के इस अस्त्र को राधिका ने अपने संरक्षण में ले लिया।

कृष्ण बोले, " राधे! आज वृन्दावन का ये माखन चोर तेरा ऋणी हुआ, कितने द्वंद्व से आज तुने मुझे उबार लिया। भविष्य में एक महायुद्ध में एक  महानायक का मै सारथी बनूँगा, किन्तु गोप जीवन के खेल प्रांगन से  जीवन के समारांगन  में मेरा सारथ्य कर्म तुने किया है, कृष्ण को यहाँ से देह रूप में ही जा रहा है, वस्तुतः वह तो यहाँ के हर रज कण में, हर पत्तो  और उनमें बह रही पूर्व में रहेगा। विरह की जो तपस्या मेरी भोली सखी तू करेगी, विश्व के समस्त ऋषि मुनि की तपस्या भी उसके आगे हीन और तुच्छ  होगी, "

"  कृष्ण मथुरा के पास होकर भी मथुरा का नहीं होगा परन्तु वृन्दावन में न होकर भी सर्वदा यही रहेगा। ब्रिज में मेरे हर कर्त्तव्य  को परिपूर्ण करना, मेरे माता पिता का ध्यान रखना, उनकी सेवा करना, मेरे सखा और गौओ का भी ध्यान रखना।"

निश्चिन्त रहो कान्हा, वचन देती हूँ तुम्हे" प्रतुत्तर में इतना ही कह पायी वो अराधिका।

कृष्ण एक दीर्घ दृष्टि में हमेशा के लिए अपनी सखी की छवि को अंकित कर रथारूढ़ हुए, अश्व संकेत पाकर अपने गंतव्य को दौड़ पड़े, ओझल होते गोकुल से सिर्फ एक छवि दृष्टिगत थी, राधा की।

THe Abode of God

Protected by Copyscape Plagiarism Checker

The advent of Kaliyuga ( the era as per to hinduism when sin prevails, virtues take a set back) came and all the devas and angels were devastated. They said "Parampita (Supreme father) Brahma created universe and granted the boon to mankind that whenever they have some wish, go to the temple or any place of worship where me and Shiva and Vishnu ( Brahma is Generator, Vishnu is Operator and Shiva is Destroyer as per to Hindu texts)  are there along with their consorts  and ask for it. You will be blessed with your wish" , so far human race was satisfied and ask for spiritual growth, but now they are turning materialist, asking for gold, palaces, high social standing. We are fed up of fulfilling these wishes. They went to Brahma and ask Him to take back the boon, to which heavenly father replied " I can't take back what i gave, but can alter my words. I made those deities reside in temple who were fulfilling the prayers, now i will change the abode where human will not search for them. He made all the deities switch their home into hearts of human. Man will be busy searching him everywhere but the last place he will ever search will be into his heart, where God  will be found.

From then on, human seek Almighty everywhere, but never in him, in his heart.
