दातव्यमिति यद्दानं दीयतेऽनुपकारिणे। देशे काले च पात्रे च तद्दानं सात्त्विकं स्मृतम्॥
Charity shall be viewed as a cherished duty. It shall be given without any expectations of return and always to the right person, at the right time and place. (17.20)
Many Muslim households across the globe observe milad-un-nabi, which commemorates prophet Muhammad’s birthday.
It’s a gazetted holiday in India and is also known as Nabi Day, Mawlid, Mohammad’s Birthday or the Prophet’s Birthday.
Milad-un-Nabi is a public holiday. It’s a day off for the general population, schools and optionally for the working class. Most of the businesses are closed on this day.
We can discover more details on how to celebrate this festival here:
“There are two things – action and the impact behind the action. Even if the action is ordinary, the impact must be positive, productive and creative.”
At a point of time, one human attribute surfaces suppressing the other two. Nobility suppresses others to rise to the surface when it is in an exalted state. The same principle applies to the other two attributes as well. Hence, executives must carefully observe and fine tune their mental conditions. (14.10)
Dussehra is a Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil. This day culminates the nine day long fasting period of Navratri. On this day the idol of Goddess Durga is taken in a procession and gets immerged in big water bodies. Many people of the Hindu faith observe Dussehra through special prayer meetings and food offerings to the goddess at home and in temples outside.
Vijaya dashami is the day following navratri (nine nights) and is celebrated as a day of victory of the good over the evil. It marks the end of Durga Puja and the nine days long navratri festival.
Dussehra – Also known as ‘Vijaya Dashami’ is the tenth day of Ashwin, Shukla Paksha* .
*Shukla Paksha is the waxing moon days of the month which is the brightening fortnight of the lunar Hindu calendar. The month of Ashwin mostly coincides with the month of October and sometimes overlaps the month of September and October.

The inactive mortals are ensnared by the euphoria of sheer laziness, which arises due to ignorance. It leads them into sleepy schedules and wasteful actions. (14.8)
Human beings are born with certain basic behavioral attributes which are called as Satva (nobility), Rajas (greed) and Tamas (laziness). These qualities control the activities of the mortals. (14.5)
