Lord Hanuman Sues His Temple Owner

Fact of Case : Wrong spelling of Jai Hanuman
Petitioner: Lord Hanuman
Defense : Temple Owner

Lord Hanuman: I am known for my intelligence and verbal skills. How can anyone does such a mistake in my own temple.I love to see my followers literate like me.(Lord questions his credibility as a follower)

Temple owner: Lord i am your true follower. While interpreting a Law if we cannot go with Literal Interpretation we use other rules just like Rule of Ejusdem Genersis means of the same class or species. As Jai Sri Ram & Jai Hanuman are just like associated words. If one used correctly as you can see the spelling of Jai Sri Ram, one cannot conclude that I am not literate. Please consider it as an isolated one and forgive me. 

Decesion: As per facts of the above case I request omniscient Lord to forgive the owner

Lord Hanuman : Tatha Astu Putra

Unoffered Prayer


What is an unoffered prayer?

Firstly, i love to go through latter one a prayer. Prayer simply means showing respect, love & our faith to the god. In a prayer we expresses our helpnessness to the God & asks for a distant fruit . I remember the movie of Amitabh Bachan. In which he prays to God to help him win in gambling.So Prayer surely varies from person to person .
So what do we understand by an unoffered prayer?. My Virgi says “One should never go empty handed in the house of God, Friend & Teacher”. Is empty handed means without money. I beg to differ. Money is one type of offering but not the sole one.

Offering to god in my opinion is of three ways viz. Tan, Man & Dhan
• Body
• Mind
• Wealth

But I futhur love to categorize into two
• Body+Mind (Tan + Man)
• Wealth+Mind (Dhan+Man)

If your mind is diverted towards the God then automaticaly your soul starts expressing it. Your senses will move you towards that direction.

• Offering by your body as we called “Seva” in english “Service” like Mother Teresa or
• Offering through “Money” like building trusts or giving donation etc.

Both are applied when your engine type Mind directs them to do such.
And they are equally important. But as i think for youngsters & students the first one is the best.
I think after applying these we can called it an “Offered Prayer”.
Choice is ours.


The most tragic is not “Unanswered Prayer but an Unoffered prayer”.

Are Good Deeds Gurantees Good Future?


This is a hidden issue which pooped up in every one's mind when we pass through bad times. And I am not an exception to it.
Its an old saying that “Sukh Me Simaran Har Koi Kare Dukh Me Kare Na Koi, Agar Sukh Mein Bhi Simran Kare To Dukh Kahe Ko Hoye”.
In past years whatever is happening to me just make my body, soul & all conscience moves towards this complex puzzle of “Karma” i.e total effect of person's actions & conduct.

I always complain that Why always I am the culprit? Why the bad is happening to me? Why I got bad family,school, teachers, colledge & ultimately the job? What I had done so bad that the result of it is coming in my way in this way now?
Is it due to past karma (deeds) in past life, I mean is it just carry forward of bad things from past life or is it due to present karma in present life.
I love to answer both in my way.

If it’s the past bad karmas(deed) then we can ratify it or make it good by doing good deeds in present life. Yes we can reverse our fate with good intentions in this very life
Now comes the bad deed of present life then we can do two things in my opinion
• Immediately stop that karma if you hurting someone or doing a badthing with conscience repeatedly just stop it now
• Secondly, the person who gets hurt with it apologize to him & try to help him as you owed to him.

Well its all about the bad karmas(deeds). Now the question is of good karmas (deeds). There are two types of it basically
• Like a daily wage i.e. you get its immediate return in th present life
• Or it is like pension or gratuity which you get at the time of retirement means when you retire from present life & steps into another.

I know the latter one is very hard to digest but it is the law of nature. We can treat it like an injection i.e. pain now but benefit from future illness.

I satisfied myself with these & sure that whatever happens to me bad in respect of health, career blockage etc. & whatever I am happy with it & all turned me into a good human being.

But I know the bad obstacles are still here now. I am yet to achieve the best part of my life.

I challenge now that none of these barriers can prevent from doing good things.
“Finest Steel has to go through the Hottest fire”.

I got the answer "Yes Good Deeds Gurantees Good Future".

Arya Samaj

Hello friends that’s my first ever summarized blog. I cannot use the word analyzed for this blog.
So I can just praying to God that this journey never ends.

The blog is based on “The Spirit of Quest” article in Ht Inner Voice on 30.10.09 by Lalit Mohan.

I am just trying to doing the dare act of summarizing it & hoping that all my friends feel free to criticize it with all angles.

Let’s introduce you with Arya Samaj foundation stone.
It was laid by Swami Dayanand Saraswati in 1875. The seed of Samaj was planted when a query came in the mind of young boy on an auspicious Shivratri night. When he saw a mouse scampering up & down on a Shiva idol & enjoying the Prasad offered to the Omni potent. This incident laid the biggest difference between Arya Samaj & Santana that is Murti Pooja.
Arya Samaj was founder with two pillars:-
1. Shattering down orthodox religious beliefs
2. Social reforms
Society reforms played a vital role in modernizing our society like caste system boycott, women empowerment, child marriage etc. If its not then I will be married at the age of 15 & probably have lots of children by now & who knows may be changing their nappy instead of writing a blog.
The base of Samaj is the quest i.e. the act of pursuing or may be questioning.
Is that quest was still there e in the present followers of Samaj or is it over in 1883 with the Swami Ji.
It raised a very important question
Are the Vedas & Upanishads which are bequeathed (i.e. pass on from generation to generation) are infallible (i.e. can’t be questioned)
If not then can we can came to conclusion that is the Swami Dayanand Saraswati the last Arya Samajist.
As his followers lack the courage of making spiritual quest like Swami ji had.
Let’s end my blog with essence of Gayatri Mantra principal prayer of Arya Samajist-

“Let the cosmic light illumine your intellect. The light can shine through only if the mind is open”.

The opening of mind is the question which I can leave up to you to decide whether it is or still awaiting for a gentle push with both hands.
