Hidden Gems of Ramayana: The Story of Sampati

कूजन्तम् राम रामेति मधुरम् मधुराक्षरम्।

आरुह्य कविता शाखाम् वन्दे वाल्मीकि कोकिलम्॥

Ramayana has many good and exemplary characters beckoning holy nature. Varuna is the Charioteer and provides chariot riding services to the Sun God and is the brother of Garuda. Garuda serves Shree Mahavishnu providing self-body as a comfortable vehicle for his master’s satisfaction. Varuna one day desired to have a child and prayed to Sun God. God offered a male child immediately to Varuna but later, Varuna thought looking after a child with good care would become a problem while attending to his uninterrupted routine works of driving the horse chariot of Sun God.

Bhagavatha: Biography of Krishna – Part 1

Birth and Childhood

Bhagavatha is a biography of Lord Krishna written by Maharshi Veda Vyasa in Sanskrit verses in the beginning of Kali Yuga or this era. The purpose of birth of Lord Krishna was to reestablish Dharma in India.  It is a social principle which is a natural style of life for Indians as desired by God. In due course of time, human beings themselves get deviated away from this style of life, Dharma. Human being is provided with great freedom of thought by God and one can decide his own style of life by deviating from Dharma, it is permitted. Other people should not be hurt by the new style of life of that man, which means only a tolerable style is permitted by God. Sin is accumulated in a man’s life account if one deviates away from the tolerable way of Dharma. When most of the people, including the ruler of the land, become intolerable to the citizens following Dharma, then God himself takes birth and this happened in the case of Krishna. Therefore he is Lord Krishna.
