Srimad Bhagavad Gita - Chapter-1. The Yogam of the Despondency of Arjuna-2.3 : Swami Sivananda
========================================================================
NAVA-RATHRI : MAHA-NAVAMI : VIJAYA-DASHMI :
I wholehearted welcome all children to Akshara Brahmam.
Today millions of children in Kerala irrespective of caste, creed and gender will get initiated into Akshara (school education) On Rice or on sand they are made to write - Hari Shree Ganapathaye Namaha.
An Acharya who initiates the children will write the above mantra on the child’s tongue. This culture has been followed since time immemorial. People of other religions too follow this due to its significance . Let us look at what Hari Shree means. This is a reminder to all children regarding the two assets that they have in Life.
First is Hari and next is Shree. Something that no one can ever remove from our Life ....
what is that? They are the various skills like .....positive mind, humility and clarity in communication. If one is capable of developing these skills , there will always be plenty of opportunities awaiting them. Furthermore they will never fail in Life. These values are the real assets .
Shree .... ‘the wealth’ What does this mean?
This wealth is our good associations and the time that is spent constructively in making everybody and ourselves happy. Today , in order to be Happy, we see people chasing money with their occupations and in the process getting restless and having no time for others.
One should not forget to use their time wisely and in making others happy as it is TIME that is the most precious asset and wealth. TIME once lost can never be got back.
Let us celebrate this Vijayadashami with a new understanding. Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvathi are the powers of our determination, devotion and dedication. Finally our aim should be sharing happiness, joy and harmony in and around us.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Anantavijayam raajaa kunteeputro yudhishthirah;
Nakulah sahadevashcha sughoshamanipushpakau." -16.
16. Yudhisthira, the son of Kunti, blew the “Anantavijaya”; and Sahadeva and Nakula blew the “Manipushpaka” and “Sughosha” conches.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kaashyashcha parameshwaasah shikhandee cha mahaarathah;
Dhrishtadyumno viraatashcha saatyakishchaaparaajitah." -17.
17. The king of Kasi, an excellent archer, Sikhandi, the mighty car-warrior, Dhristadyumna and Virata and Satyaki, the unconquered,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Drupado draupadeyaashcha sarvashah prithiveepate;
Saubhadrashcha mahaabaahuh shankhaan dadhmuh prithak prithak."-18
18. Drupada and the sons of Draupadi, O Lord of the Earth, and the son of Subhadra, the mighty-armed, all blew their respective conches!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sa ghosho dhaartaraashtraanaam hridayaani vyadaarayat;
Nabhashcha prithiveem chaiva tumulo vyanunaadayan." -19.
19. The tumultuous sound rent the hearts of Dhritarashtra’s party, making both heaven and earth resound.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Atha vyavasthitaan drishtwaa dhaartaraashtraan kapidhwajah;
Pravritte shastrasampaate dhanurudyamya paandavah." -20.
Hrisheekesham tadaa vaakyamidamaaha maheepate; -21.
20 & 21. Then, seeing all the people of Dhritarashtra’s party standing arrayed and the discharge of weapons about to begin, Arjuna, the son of Pandu, whose ensign was that of a monkey, took up his bow and said the following to Krishna, O Lord of the Earth!
