Guest guest Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 HARI AUM Rightly said Gopalakrishnaji & Chithpuramji, IT IS A GREAT THOUGHT ON BHAGAVAN'S GITA. It has come from none other than 'Punyaslok Rajmata Ahilyadevi Holkar' (1725 - 1795, ruled 1767-1795) 'Philosopher Queen' of the Holkar dynasty ( Malwa kingdom) famous for justice, once she gave the order for killing her only son under the elephant feet for his punishable activities. The reputation of Ahilyadevi Holkar in Malwa and Maharashtra was then, and is, even now, that of a saint. Regards Balagopal NARAYANA NARAYANA NARAYANA ICC World Twenty20 England '09 exclusively on !

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 HARI AUM Dear Gopalakrishnaji, It's really odd, but when the sense of justice take over the sense of attachments rare men and women display such rare courage. The strange act never occured. In 1766 the kingdom passed to the son. He is remembered as being an unworthy ruler – addicted to vice and at times cruel. At any rate he soon passed away and once again Ahalyabai resumed control of the kingdom’s affairs. Soon the kingdom was becoming very prosperous. Earlier on taking control of the administration of Indore, she declared, “This kingdom belongs to Shankar (Shiva). On behalf of Shankar I will do my duty to manage the affairs for the benefit of the people.†She lived a very simple life. She didn’t live in the palace, instead preferring to live on the banks of the River Narmada, at the pilgrimage site called “Maheshwarâ€. Very few rulers in history have demonstrated such a lifestyle in which they renounce comforts but carry on their job well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
