💬 Quote of the Day

You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

जब तक आप खुद पर विश्वास नहीं करते, तब तक आप भगवान पर विश्वास नहीं कर सकते।

— Swami Vivekananda

📜 Chanakya Niti of the Day

The fragrance of flowers spreads only with the wind, but the goodness of a person spreads in every direction.

फूलों की सुगंध केवल हवा की दिशा में फैलती है, पर अच्छे व्यक्ति की अच्छाई हर दिशा में फैलती है।

— Based on Chanakya Niti

🦁 Panchatantra Stories

Today's story: The Mice Who Freed the Elephants

The Monkey and the Crocodile बंदर और मगरमच्छ Presence of mind can save you in danger — and never trust someone who has betrayed you. The Lion and the Clever Rabbit शेर और चतुर खरगोश Intelligence is mightier than strength. The Talkative Tortoise बातूनी कछुआ Speak only when needed; a moment of pride or chatter can cost you dearly. The Blue Jackal नीला सियार You can disguise yourself, but your true nature will show sooner or later. The Crows and the Serpent कौए और साँप Where strength fails, a clever plan succeeds. The Brahmin's Wife and the Mongoose ब्राह्मणी और नेवला Never act in haste; think before you act. The Lion That Was Brought to Life शेर को जीवित करने वाले मूर्ख विद्वान Knowledge without common sense is dangerous. The Monkey and the Wedge बंदर और कील Don't meddle in matters that don't concern you. The Heron and the Crab बगुला और केकड़ा Beware of those who offer help with sweet words but hidden motives. The Mice Who Freed the Elephants चूहे और हाथी No one is too small to help; kindness is always repaid. The Brahmin and the Three Crooks ब्राह्मण और तीन ठग Don't let others talk you out of what you know to be true.
