Analysing DHARMA

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत। अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥४-७॥ परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् । धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥४-८॥ The shloka above is from Shrimad Bhagavad Gita said by none other than Shri Krishna. The line above says, Whenever there is harm to Dharma, whenever Adharam rises, I will come to earth In order to save the good, in order to destroy the evil, I will come in every era. Shri Krishna states this in Adhyaya 4, Shloka 7, and 8 of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. These lines are very strong lines said by anyone, showing what Hindu scriptures denote about GOD. We usually take God as a figure who can do anything, whatever pleases him/her. God knows how to do magic, god is always smiling, the one who knows everything, who can see the future, and god is someone who defeats every bad himself/herself.

He is with a controlled self, highly valorous, resplendent, steadfast and a controller of (vice and vile... or) his own senses." The first line of Shri Rama describes him as the one who is born in The Ikshvaku Dynasty, very courageous, a controller of his senses, attractive, handsome, and strong.  Shri Rama, for whom, one can get short of words, is our main protagonist.

 "TO BE OR NOT TO BE     THAT IS THE QUESTION" These lines from the play 'The Tragedy Of Hamlet- The Prince Of Denmark' start the infamous 'nunnery scene'. But not only do these lines actually pose a question for us to be questioned about, but these lines show the most genuine truth about the character Hamlet. Hamlet, a play written by William Shakespeare which is written more than 500 years back, is, unfortunately, becoming more relatable in the current period. The story tells us about a prince who got to know about his father's death and not only this, the truth possesses a great conspiracy that shocks the prince and this leads to events with immense bloodshed and then to ultimate tragedy.  But how do we relate to him? Hamlet is a character to whom we can relate, more than anyone. He is neither Macbeth whose greed was the start nor Othello whose insecurity led to the end. Hamlet is just like us, who came back to Denmark knowing nothing, and then the even
