The Donation of Own Bones by Dadhichi, Rani Padmini’s Jumping into fire, the Drinking of Poison by Socrates, the Crucifixion of Christ- In the Ancient Times People Were Ready for Sacrifices of Any Size for their Principles for Remaining true to Their Commitment.

Dwelling of Maharana pratap in various forests without any stability, the grand donation by Bhamashas, Hakikat rai’s buriral alive in the wall, the boiling alive of banda


ABDONED AND SACRIFICE--THE PICK  TIME
vairagi in the heated oil in a vessel, the selling of wife and son by king Harishchandra, the donation of own bones by dadhichi, the sacrifice of his son by Moradhwaj, Rani padmini’s jumping into fire, the drinking of poison by Socrates, the crucifixion of Christ--- these are all true incidents and events that evince the absolute devotion of the great personalities to their great principles and their limitless sacrifice for noble duties. Putting everything they own, even their lives, at stake for protection of great ideals is possible only for the enlightened souls, as their sraddha is also elevaded. If such occasions aries for the people of today with superficial faith, they will immediately become turncoats. Hakikat rai, the child, preferred  getting buried alive in the wall but did not agree to relinquish his Hindu religion; a cunning child of today would have thought it right to turn to any religion or cult to save his live, he would have done so most willingly lf there were extra gains. In the ancient times people were ready for sacrifices of any size for their principles for remaining true to their commitment, for guarding the ethics of their divine culture and religion.Todays  culture and principles  seem to revolve around diplomacy, opportunism, clever  manipulation and cunningness. People adopt  ideologist and follow religious philosophies as a fashion, just as they grow beard and maintain it till they are fond of it and shave it off anytime at will. They preach elaborately on the importance of consumerism and capitalism. They bost of religion, but are themselves responsible for sinful acts. These examples show that today there seems to be no place in human life for faith, principled thoughts and values; is one way or the other these have also become commodities of fashion and explotation for most people.
