[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,Good morning to all of u and have a divine blessed day ahead…..Hey Krishna! Relieve us all from the misery, disorders and slavery and grant us all the happiness!I will follow the path ordered by you and hence sing your names and dance ecstatically with love my Lord! I will follow the path ordered by you! - MAHAKAVI BHARATIAR, one of the greatest Tamil poets-------------------How does one define a good character? What is the yardstick to measure it?Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:There is not one straightforward definition for good character. The yardstick varies with perspectives. For example, everyone’s minds have their own definition of good and bad qualities. A society might consider a person of character, only if he

performs charitable social work like building schools, hospitals etc. What we ought to consider as good traits, is what has been prescribed in the holy scriptures and epics. This is because the Maharshis had recorded the scriptures by dint of their severe austerities and not by anyone’s influence. So they are unbiased. Accordingly, Sri Rama can be considered as an embodiment of character. In this age, if one stands up to even one percentage of the qualities portrayed in Sri Rama, then he can be considered a man of character. --------- PURANAVA 2009
