Thoughts:
-Kunti for atithi devo bhava because she served their unexpected guest Durvasa
Rushi with the utmost love and respect. Which is why he gave her the mantra that
could call forth any god for a gift.
-Shravan can be for both Matru & Pitru devo bhava.
-Bhishma had taken those three oaths only for his fathers happiness.
-Swadhyaynma Pramadha- can also be explained as not the physical kendra we
go to on sundays but rather the idea of self-development and spirituality. We are
often lazy when it comes to developmental activities, thus Dadaji for he was never
lazy and made that the goal of his life.
-Ram’s entire family was known for giving with love and faith. An extension of this
can also be how we receive gifts. Often we are not happy for a gift is not of our
liking but Ram saw the good in all. Even when asked to leave for Vanvaas he did
it with a positive attitude. He accepted and gave everything in a good manner.
