Green on This Side What if it’s not greener on the other side? Maybe past the fence it’s still the same ride. What if the ultimate joy always exists in the now? Maybe every moment should take it’s own bow. What if the apex of happiness was always just here? Maybe we don’t have to guide, we don’t have to steer. What if that’s why children always laugh so? Maybe they’re able to just let go. What if they know happiness is not a thing to be achieved? Maybe they can feel that being open to it, is all that we need. What if we’ve become so “wise” we’ve forgotten that realization? Maybe once in a while we should give our brains a vacation. What if happiness is more about our hearts and our souls? Maybe we can be happy with the now and still have goals. What if the grass isn’t greener, what would you do? Maybe it’s time to let happiness be the thing that fills you. ---- For Help in Solving life problem, www.facebook.com/jeevangyan jeevangyanservices@gmail...

Finding God ============ A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of Root Beer and he started his journey When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old man. He was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to him and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so he offered him a Twinkie. He gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. His smile was so pleasant that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer. Again, he smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word. As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old man, and gave him a hug. He gave him his biggest smile ever. When ...

You Must Keep Going ==================== Sometimes you must keep going. Life punches you in the stomach. It knocks your breath out and leaves you bowed and gasping. You lose a job. . . you must keep going. You find out you have a serious illness. . .you must keep going. You have a headache. . . you must keep going. Sometimes the things in life are not serious but they affect you nevertheless. . . you must keep going. You have a big argument with your spouse. Neither of you feels like talking and maybe not even looking at each other. . . you must keep going. Your son rebels and you have a blowout with him. . . you must keep going.

We can’t, because we must keep going. Life is full of those circumstances. Many of you when you woke up this morning, for a variety of reason...

The Mahabharata is one of the greatest literature’s in the world. No other work brings out the complexity of human problems in such a profound and entertaining way. It shows us the application of philosophy when it comes to deciding between the right and wrong in such cases where the answer is not straightforward. Four of the most striking characters in the Mahabharata are Arjuna,Karna,Drona and Bhishma  . These men were perhaps the four greatest warriors of the era and were also well learned and had firm principles by which they lived. They lived their life by different values and their lives came to very different ends.

Out of the four characters, Arjuna is the character who stands out as the hero who future generations of Hindus admire the most. The other three are remembered a...
