LORD KHANDOBA OF JAJURI

UNIQUENESS

"Uddhare atma nathmanam" this Vedic aphorism, besides denoting the efficacy of self help, connotes many covetable traits and covers a wider canvas. It instills in minds several essential virtues that have to be zealously aspired for, assisidously cultivated by and tenaciously held up by one and all. It is applicable to all the living creatures, right from gods down to amoeba, sans exceptions. At all times and in any place too. Though it upholds one's rising by one's own efforts and standing on legs firmly as the best policy and right course under all circumstances, it does neither snap the prop, nor denigrate its past support. Sure, man being a social animal has to indispensably depend on others for coming up in life and making a mark in the world. But not always. The statement that poetry, woman and creeper-kavitha, vanitha and latha do not thrive by themselves, and seek eternal refuge in others is true in parts but not complete. Cent percent. Man's supreme ideal certainly advocates and encourages lending or receiving support now and then, it dissuades clinging on to support permanently, as it tantamounts to servility. One must always rise by his own resources and tap at his inherent potentialities to keep his head erect and move with commendable pride that alone brings credit to his life and makes his living meaningful. Self help standing on one's own feet adds colour to personality, lends majesty and wins honour even from the inveterate enemy. By and large, it leaves one investing with honour and glamour.
