Jano Gano Mano odhinaayoko Jayo Hey

Bindho Himachalo Jamuna Gonga
Uchhalu Jaludhi Tarongo
Tabo Shubho Naamay Jaagay
Tabo Shubho Aashisho Maahay
Gaahay Tabo Jayogaatha.
Jano Gano Mangalo Daayoko Jayo Hey
Bhaarato Bhaaggo Bidhaata
Jayo Hey, Jayo Hey, Jayo Hey,
Jayo Jayo Jayo Jayo Hey

জনগণমন-অধিনায়ক জয় হে
ভারতভাগ্যবিধাতা!
পঞ্জাব সিন্ধু গুজরাট মরাঠা
দ্রাবিড় উত্‍‌কল বঙ্গ
বিন্ধ্য হিমাচল যমুনা গঙ্গা
উচ্ছলজলধিতরঙ্গ
তব শুভ নামে জাগে,
তব শুভ আশিস মাগে,
গাহে তব জয়গাথা।
জনগণমঙ্গলদায়ক জয় হে
ভারতভাগ্যবিধাতা!
জয় হে, জয় হে, জয় হে,
জয় জয় জয়, জয় হে॥

Handling Temptation – Web Story

Please click on the cover image below

Temptation, in essence, is the powerful allure and craving for something alluring or pleasurable, despite its moral wrongness, harmful consequences, or being forbidden. It entices individuals towards engaging in actions, behaviours, or possessing objects that deviate from what is considered virtuous, ethical, or in line with their principles and beliefs. These temptations can take various forms, ranging from giving in to vices, and breaking rules, to acting against one’s better judgment and values. Overcoming temptation necessitates the cultivation of self-control, willpower, and the ability to make wise choices when faced with enticing alternatives.

To truly comprehend the nature of temptation and address its root causes, one can delve into the works of philosophical moral psychology, philosophy of action, and philosophical theology. In this regard, a structured approach, such as studying the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, offers valuable insights into understanding the ego, false ego (the assumed concept of ‘I’), the mind, and, most importantly, the all-pervading SELF. Such knowledge can empower individuals to resist the dangerous nature of temptation and safeguard themselves from becoming its victim.

At the core of our journey lies the intrinsic motivation that propels us to fulfil our duties, achieve our goals, and overcome challenges, elevating our living standards and more. While external support plays a role, we must not forget the paramount significance of our inner drive. This support can manifest in the form of material or moral assistance. We discover their profound influence on our inner motivations as we explore selected Shlokas from the Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

The Srimad Bhagavad Gita serves as a guiding light, leading seekers through various stages, culminating in Divine SELF-Realisation. Reading these chosen Shlokas can provide a momentary surge of mental energy, meeting our immediate needs for a powerful boost. However, it is vital to remember that such brief moments alone cannot replace the transformative experience of delving into the entirety of this life-changing scripture, the Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

KILL Fear and Anger

75th Indian Independence Day

The hymn is close to the hearts of over 1.4 billion people (as of 2022) worldwide.

The Indian National Anthem I rendered along with m son to my musical arrangement.

Tavamithram (Mithram) – a Vedanta teacher who is neither a baba nor a swami but just another common person who is passionate about children, family, people, nature, learning, music, adventure, life, living, and above all, the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, and Vedanta as a whole.

With great reverence, deep admiration, and heartfelt gratitude to all the fearless, committed and patriotic men, women, and children, who fought for India’s freedom, and to those brave men and women in uniform and others who have offered their entire lives in service of our Motherland. 

We live far away, but our hearts beat for our Motherland.

Jai Bharat Varsh
