         Once baby Ram was lying on the swing hanging from the ceiling of a balcony in the grand palace of Ayodhya. There was a vast garden around the palace. Monkeys, birds, bears, elephants, lions and all sorts of wild animals had their abode in it. They were jumping and playing, making weird noises. Ram was very happy to see their silly ways. He, however, would not have liked them had they been reciting Vedas instead, because He is the maker of both good and bad, right and wrong, high and low, big and small and so. He loves everything that adds to the beauty of the world and hates all that grows to be too powerful to be creative. He was a beloved son, a loving brother, a dutiful husband; and He is also a kind and merciful king but a dangerous enemy to those who harm his devotees or the Creation. Wish you all a Happy Ram Navmi!

She will still look dissatisfied even if you have done all which she asked you to or even if you put a chair in the warehouse where only money is stored. A wife is an emotional creature – she does not understand the language of any logic or reason. What she understands is the language of love, affection, admiration etc. If you are obedient to her and leave her free to do anything she will like you so much. This is something that applies to the people of the country. No government, not even God can satisfy everyone. Yes, they can make them pleased only by satisfying their emotional huger. Overall, the political parties do nothing for the people, but their demagoguery is often so strong that it soon blinds people into supporting the party passionately. The people get emotional satisfaction or dissatisfaction for all the tax they pay, for all the hard work they do and spare lavish life, wealth and power for a...
