" The Greatest Examples of Sacrifices are those of Arjuna and Ekalavya. Arjuna sacrificed everything at the feet of Krishna, Never once in his life with Krishna did Arjuna ever Question Krishna, Whenever Krishna asked anything it was Arjuna who would offer it first, Arjuna was in front whenever Krishna wanted anything, Do anyone of you know that Arjuna was a very Selfish Person who would not even part with his Clothes, But he changed with his association with Krishna, He sacrificed everything that he had For the Lord,that is why Arjuna is always mentioned with Krishna. Ekalavya was a Nishada a low caste person, He was rejected by Dhronacharya when he asked him to be his Guru in Archery, Ekalavya practised for years in front of Dhronacharya's Statute in the Maharanya (Forest), When his 5 Arrows pierced the Dog's Mouth, Dronacharya knew that He had come

across a greater archer than Arjuna, Dronacharya Wanted Arjuna to be the graetest Archer, he would not allow a Nishada to be greater than Arjuna, He asked for the Right Thumb of Ekalavya as Guru Dakshina, Ekalavya knew that if he gave it to His Master he would loose everything in life, all the years of hard Practise, all the years of sacrifice and hardship, But he did not even Blink an eye lid, He cut off his Thumb and gave it to Dhronacharya His Guru who never even taught him. Ekalavya is never ever mentioned in the Mahabarata again,but his Great Sacrifice is mentioned to this day.This is the greatest Sacrifice, Arjuna and Ekalavya sacrificed what was the most dearest and greatest to them, Arjuna sacrificed his life to Lord Krishna and Ekalavya gave up the only thing that he had to Dhronacharya His Guru.Do not be of the impression that you have done something huge and that you should be proud of , Yes, if you help a person in need

you should be happy, Swami will be happy, But You should not feel that it is enough, help others, make them happy, you will be happy too, Swami will be happy too. Om Sai Ram
