Mother Draupadi, a central figure in the great Indian epic Mahabharata, exemplifies a steadfast spirit that rises above the hurt caused by insults. Her remarkable resilience and unwavering courage are invaluable sources of inspiration, teaching us the profound lessons of self-worth, forgiveness, and unyielding dignity. In this exploration, we shall uncover the wisdom bestowed by Mother Draupadi, discovering the transformative power that lies within, empowering us to face insults with grace and emerge stronger from the crucible of life's challenges. Let us embark on this journey of self-discovery and draw from the profound lessons of a timeless heroine who remains etched in the annals of history.

Her life serves as a beacon of hope, teaching us the essence of self-reliance and determination in fighting for what is right. In this blog, we delve into the spiritual and motivational lessons we can draw from the voice of Chittan, encapsulating the spirit of Mother Draupadi.

Embrace Your True Identity: Draupadi's life journey began with her unique identity as a Panchali, born of fire. In the same way, we must embrace our true selves and not shy away from our individuality. By acknowledging our strengths and weaknesses, we pave the path for personal growth and spiritual evolution.
Stand Firm in the Face of Adversity: Throughout her life, Draupadi faced numerous challenges and injustices. In the most trying times, she stood resolute, never losing sight of her values. When faced with adversity, let us remember Draupadi's unyielding spirit and find strength in the face of life's trials.
Seek Inner Transformation: As Mother Draupadi faced the vastrapaharanam, a moment of great humiliation, she found solace in her devotion to Lord Krishna. This exemplifies the power of turning inward and seeking inner transformation during times of distress. Spirituality can be a guiding light, helping us find inner peace and wisdom.
Cultivate Fearlessness: Draupadi's fearless nature resonates deeply with the inner strength that lies dormant within all of us. Cultivate fearlessness by letting go of doubt and insecurity. Remember that fear is often a product of the mind, and we have the power to rise above it.
Self-Responsibility and Empowerment: The life of Mother Draupadi reminds us that we are responsible for our actions and destinies. Instead of waiting for someone else to fight our battles, we must take charge of our lives and stand up against injustice. Empowerment comes from recognizing our own abilities and knowing that we hold the key to change.
Trust in Divine Providence: Amidst the trials and tribulations, Draupadi always believed in the divine protection of Lord Krishna. Trusting in a higher power can alleviate the burdens we carry, knowing that we are never truly alone. Surrendering our worries to the divine brings comfort and hope.
Practice Forgiveness: Despite enduring great injustice, Draupadi forgave those who wronged her. Forgiveness is a powerful act of liberation, freeing us from the shackles of anger and resentment. By practicing forgiveness, we embrace compassion and make room for healing in our hearts.

The indomitable spirit of Mother Draupadi continues to inspire generations to stand tall, unwavering in the face of adversity. Her life teaches us the essence of self-reliance, spiritual growth, and the importance of fighting for justice. Let us draw from her example and find our own inner voice of Chittan—the voice of courage, righteousness, and unwavering determination.

let us Remember, the power to overcome lies within each of us; we need only awaken it and let it shine forth, illuminating our path to a brighter, more empowered future.

That Random day in my life.....

That day began like any other, filled with gratitude to Narasimha and hope for the day ahead. I went to work, but by mid-day, something shifted. I fell sick—suddenly, unexpectedly—and as the hours passed, my condition worsened. It wasn’t just an ordinary illness; this time, it felt heavy, like a storm I couldn’t escape. For a moment, I wondered if I would survive. And in that quiet space, where everything else faded, two thoughts consumed me: What about my son? Will my husband manage without me? And then a strange question arose—Is my purpose done? Am I leaving because I’ve already fulfilled what I came to do? ( may be if we feel that moments are our last seconds and if we feel that we don't see tomorrow,then the most precious things alone we might be remember and we would recollect ..it would have scroll down like a reel those precious moments, and so i felt about my son and husband) After several tests, the diagnosis finally came through: viral and bacterial pneumoni...

The Bird Who Chose to Fly Higher

Hey all, Namasthe and Welcome to The Voice of Chittan ! I’m back with another soulful reflection—one that speaks to every heart that’s ever felt unheard, every spirit that’s been tested, and every dream that’s dared to rise above the noise. Today’s blog is a story of resilience, mindful living, and the quiet strength that often goes unnoticed—until it chooses to fly high. Let’s dive in. In a quiet forest, there lived a bird unlike the rest. It wasn’t the loudest, nor the fastest. It didn’t compete for attention or join the noisy flocks that filled the skies with chaos. This bird had a different way of being—it moved slowly, intentionally, and mindfully. Its path wasn’t always clear, but its heart was steady. Every day, it focused on what mattered—its purpose, its values, and its inner peace. But the world around it didn’t understand silence. A flock of noisy birds began to notice this quiet one. They squawked and laughed, mocking its calm demeanor. “Why are you so slow?” they ...

The Silent Strength of True Relationships

Hey all, Namaste ! 🙂 Life is full of ups and downs, victories, and struggles. Along the way, we meet countless people, but only a few truly matter. These are the ones who accept us just as we are, celebrate our wins, and support us through our toughest times without ever making us feel small. In this blog, let's dive into why these genuine relationships are the real treasures of our lives and why we should never take them for granted. In the journey of life, we encounter numerous individuals, each leaving their mark on our existence in unique ways. Among these, a select few stand out, offering unconditional acceptance and unwavering support. These relationships, marked by silent strength and genuine care, are the true treasures of our lives.

These are the people who see beyond your flaws and mistakes, understanding the essence of who you truly are. They do not seek ...

The Beauty of Slowing Down

Hey all,Namaste. thank you for tuning in voice of chittan blog. Today, I want to talk about something we often overlook but desperately need: "the art of doing nothing.” Life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn’t it? There are days when no matter how hard we plan, things just don’t go our way. Deadlines get missed, expectations aren’t met, and sometimes, it feels like the world is rushing by while we’re stuck in slow motion. It’s frustrating, right? But what if I told you that these unexpected pauses are not failures—they’re opportunities? Opportunities to breathe. To reflect. To just be. Think about it. From the moment we wake up, we’re chasing something—goals, recognition, validation, or even the next item on our to-do list. But do we ever pause and ask ourselves, “Why?” Why are we running? And more importantly, where are we running to? Here’s the thing: not every day has to be about hitting targets or checking boxes. Sometimes, the most meaningful moments come ...

If the Entire Team Fails, Then the Manager Also Fails: Understanding Shared Responsibility

" When a team fails, the manager/leader fails too. A leader never have blaming tone,but sets an inspiration". Hey all Namasthe, In the world of organisation ,failure is often seen as a setback, a sign that something went wrong. When an entire team fails, it can feel like a disaster. However, the true measure of a manager is not in how they handle success, but in how they manage failure. While a bad manager might blame their team to remain in their boss’s good books, a good manager understands that leadership means taking responsibility, learning from mistakes, and turning failure into an opportunity for growth. Here’s how a manager can win, even when their team fails. 1. Accept Responsibility The first step in turning failure into victory is for the manager to accept responsibility. This doesn’t mean shouldering all the blame, but rather acknowledging their role in the team’s performance. A good manager understands that they are accountable for the team's results, and t...

తండ్రి మరణం ,కూతురికి నేర్పిన పాఠాలు

మాతృ గర్భం నుండి సముద్రం గర్భం వరకు, తల్లి చల్లని ఒడి నుండి మృత్యు మాత యొక్క అగ్ని ఒడి వరకు జరిగే ప్రయాణంలో నీ ప్రశ్నలు నీవే, జవాబులు నీవే, పోరాటం నీవే.. బతుకు నీదే.. చావు నీదే. పుట్టుక, మరణం రెండు ఒంటరే. ఈ రెండి మద్య నువ్వు పంచిన స్పూర్తి.. అదే నీ జీవితం జీవితంలో అత్యంత ఘర్షణాత్మక సంఘటనలు మన వ్యక్తిత్వంలో బలమైన మార్పును కలిగిస్తాయి. Losing my father was one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. But you know what? It changed me. It taught me lessons I don’t think I would have learned otherwise. It’s like life whispered, "Here’s the truth—take it, hold it, and grow with it." One of the first things I learned was how important it is to stand on your own.I realized I had to become that for myself. Independence isn’t just about surviving—it’s about finding strength you didn’t know you had. And trust? Oh, that was a big one. I’ve learned to be careful with trust. Not everyone deserves it, and that’s okay. But here’s the thing—I haven’t closed myself off. I’ve just beco...

Your cracks in life are golden

Hey all...Namaste🙂 let me tell you about something I recently came across that completely changed how I see life. It’s this Japanese philosophy called Kintsugi. Ever heard of it? It’s basically the art of fixing broken pottery with gold. But hang on, it’s way more than that. Imagine this—you drop your favorite ceramic mug. It shatters. The first instinct? Toss it..we will throw it away, isn't it? Because broken things are useless, isn't it? But this is Not in Kintsugi. In Kintsugi, those cracks are celebrated in its own way. You know how? They’re filled with gold. And when you look at the repaired piece, it’s not just a mug anymore. It’s a story, a piece of art. It’s more valuable than it was before. And that got me thinking—what if we looked at ourselves the same way? I am sure you agree with me if I say this..., life breaks all of us in some way. Maybe it’s a failed relationship, a career setback, losing someone you love, or just that quiet feeling that you’re not enough. We...
