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 in return to the right person at the right time and place, even if he is unlikely to return it. (17.20)
दान देना ही कर्तव्य है- ऐसे भाव से जो दान देश तथा काल (जिस देश-काल में जिस वस्तु का अभाव हो, वही देश-काल, उस वस्तु द्वारा प्राणियों की सेवा करने के लिए योग्य समझा जाता है।) और पात्र के (भूखे, अनाथ, दुःखी, रोगी और असमर्थ तथा भिक्षुक आदि तो अन्न, वस्त्र और ओषधि एवं जिस वस्तु का जिसके पास अभाव हो, उस वस्तु द्वारा सेवा करने के लिए योग्य पात्र समझे जाते हैं और श्रेष्ठ आचरणों वाले विद्वान् ब्राह्मणजन धनादि सब प्रकार के पदार्थों द्वारा सेवा करने के लिए योग्य पात्र समझे जाते हैं।) प्राप्त होने पर उपकार न करने वाले के प्रति दिया जाता है, वह दान सात्त्विक कहा गया है ॥20॥

The hyacinth macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), or hyacinthine macaw, is a parrot native to central and eastern South America. With a length (from the top of its head to the tip of its long pointed tail) of about one meter it is longer than any other species of parrot. It is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot species, the flightless kakapo of New Zealand outweighs it at up to 3.5 kg. While generally easily recognized, it could be confused with the smaller Lear’s macaw. Habitat loss and the trapping of wild birds for the pet trade have taken a heavy toll on their population in the wild, so the species is classified as Vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List, and it is protected by its listing on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
I’ve been thinking about freedom a lot. If you have your eyes open and ears as well, you will know that what is transpiring right now not only in America but globally, has nothing to do with a virus. It has however, everything to do with a totalitarian takeover that has every intention of taking everything from us. If that doesn’t get your attention, I don’t know what will. Now more then ever, it is essential to think critically and put all the pieces of the puzzle together in order to see Truth.
I know this is scary. It’s easier not to see. I’ve seen this Truth for many months. Our world needs all of us to unite as one to fight off the evil that has this world in its clutches. I am no coward and have been fighting and praying for so long that there are days I…
It’s so pleasing to receive this notification early morning today. Here i convey my sincere thankfulness and gratitude to all for your great support and time. Your encouragement means a lot to me. Without you it was not possible.
Awarded Nobel Prize for Literature on 10 December 1913
Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941) was a Bengali poet, writer, composer, philosopher and painter. He reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of the “profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse” of Gitanjali, he became in 1913 the first non-European as well as the first lyricist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Tagore’s poetic songs were viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his “elegant prose and magical poetry” remain largely unknown outside Bengal. He is sometimes referred to as “the Bard of Bengal”.
A Bengali Brahmin from Calcutta with ancestral gentry roots in Burdwan district and Jessore, Tagore wrote poetry as an eight-year-old. At the age of sixteen, he released his first substantial poems under the pseudonym Bhānusiṃha (“Sun Lion”), which were seized upon by literary authorities as long-lost classics. By 1877 he graduated to his first short stories and dramas, published under his real name. As a humanist, universalist, internationalist, and ardent anti-nationalist, he denounced the British Raj and advocated independence from Britain. As an exponent of the Bengal Renaissance, he advanced a vast canon that comprised paintings, sketches and doodles, hundreds of texts, and some two thousand songs; his legacy also endures in the institution he founded, Visva-Bharati University.
Tagore modernised Bengali art by spurning rigid classical forms and resisting linguistic strictures. His novels, stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays spoke to topics political and personal. Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced) and Ghare-Baire (The Home and the World) are his best-known works, and his verse, short stories, and novels were acclaimed—or panned—for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, and unnatural contemplation. His compositions were chosen by two nations as national anthems: India’s “Jana Gana Mana” and Bangladesh’s “Amar Shonar Bangla”. The Sri Lankan national anthem was inspired by his work.
Life is all about chasing and accomplishing our dreams and desires but often we get so much entangled and bedazzled in the cobwebs of our Supreme thoughts thinking we conquered that we forget we really shall taste death and we are here sailing for a little while.
There will be an end to everything. What all we will take with us and leave behind will be love, blessings, our deeds and memories. We do will have to answer our doings, our sayings and then only we will discern, life was a phantasm.
Life is beautiful indeed, enjoy and live its beauty but don’t surmise it will be eternal because your eternity belongs somewhere else.
