Children’s day and examples for kids
Indian history and culture we had many young people who are inspiration even today.
In Vishnu Purana it explains about Maharaja Dhruva who was once insulted in his childhood by his step mother thus he reached the forest. On the way he met Devrishi Narada and thus learning Narayana Mantra he performed rigorous penance thus was able to meet Bhagwan Vishnu and got his answers. For his Bhakti he reached great heights.
Rishi Markandeya was devoted to Bhagwan Shiva that by understanding he will die by 16 he never flinched from his devotion. Thus Bhagwan Shiva saved him from death and gave him a boon of immortality and he won’t age.
Satyakama son of Jabala was curious to learn about Brahman thus he asked his mother about his Lineage. Where she said him it’s Jabala as her life was spent on service of others. He visited Rishi Haridrumata Gautama. Here Rishi Impressed by his truthfulness and Curiosity asked him to tend his bovines. Thus he began to learn from nature and later his guru taught him rest this he became a great Rishi.
Amogavarsha of Rastrakuta Empire came to power at his teens was an excellent ruler and Scholar who’s rule was really peaceful and led to development of Arts and culture.
Peshwa Madhava Rao-I became Peshwa after Battle of Panipat in 1761 at the age of 16 thus he bought empire back from Debacle and was a great administrator of his time. Thus an inspiration for all.
Thus on Children’s day let’s learn from the above heroes the lesson of determination, Devotion, Curiosity, Truthfulness, Understanding to people and rising upto the situation.
