Rajatarangini And The Study Of Kalhana’s History Of Kashmir: Part III
Maharani Didda And The Utpala Dynasty In Kashmir Minister Bhuyya trembled as he stood outside the gates of Queen Didda’s chambers, faced with the task of getting the grief stricken Queen up-to-date with the state affairs. It had been a week since the Queen had lost her beloved son, Abhimanyu and Bhuyya could hear her muffled sobbing from the corridor. He recalled the fate of the last Prime Minister, Naravahana, who felt suicide was an easier option than the constant bashing, berating and questioning of Didda. Bhuyya was armed with a way to pull Didda out of her grief but still unsure whether it would work. He cleared his throat and entered her chambers, making ample noises to make his presence apparent to the Queen. Didda lay sprawled on the floor, her face buried in the folds of her silk shawl as her body trembled with every sniff. She raised her disheveled head to see the new arrival and could barely make out Bhuyya’s tall frame through her teary eyes. She wiped her puffy face and slowly sat up. Bhuyya walked towards her and handed her large manuscript. Didda took it and looked at the page. It had a plan elevation of a heavily ornamental Vishnu Temple. The bottom of the manuscript read, “Abhimanyuswamin Temple, dedicated to the late King Abhimanyu, beloved of Didda”. She looked up to see Bhuyya smiling, aware that his plan had worked. Didda whispered, “This is perfect…let’s do it”. Within minutes she had stormed towards the Court, ready to meet the architects she summoned.

Spirituality – The Missing Piece In Mental Health Jigsaw Puzzle
Spirituality starts with sincere practice of self-awareness. This process of self-awareness, which in colloquial terms is often referred to as “listening to the heart” involves introspection and learning from life lessons, perceiving and being true to emotions, accepting and owning responsibility, making clear choices and do all these while being content and passionate about life. Spirituality teaches us to strive for progress within. The key is to understand and follow its universal principles. We become aware that we have no ownership of results and that material gain or loss is a mere by-product. While following principles of spirituality, we appreciate that we may go wrong in this human world but we will not go wrong in the cosmic or spiritual world.
