The importance of discipline in achieving success
Discipline is often regarded as the cornerstone of success. It is the ability to control one's impulses, emotions, and behavior in pursuit of long-term goals. Whether in academics, career, or personal development, discipline is the key that unlocks the door of achievement and it also plays a crucial role in one's life. In a world full of distractions, discipline acts as a guiding force that keeps one on track. It may require sacrifice and patience, but the rewards of discipline are substantial. It leads to personal growth, achievement, and a sense of fulfillment, making it an essential trait for anyone aspiring to succeed in life.

Krishna
Shree Krishna, a key figure in Hinduism, is also known as the eighth avatar of Vishnu. His life, marked by divine acts and teachings, is central to the Bhagavad Gita, where he advises Prince Arjun on duty and devotion. Known for his bravery and playful nature, Krishna's guidance emphasizes selfless action and love for God. Festivals like Janmashtami honor his divine presence and teachings, celebrating his role as a spiritual guide and protector. Here's a quotation by Lord Krishna which I always keep in mind- “We behold what we are, and we are what we behold.” 
Rishi Raj / VII
कृष्ण जन्माष्टमी
श्रीकृष्ण का जन्म द्वापरयुग में भाद्रपद कृष्ण पक्ष की अष्टमी को कारागार में हुआ था। इनकी माता देवकी और पिता वासुदेव को राजा कंस ने जेल में डाल दिया था, जो कि कृष्ण के मामा थे। कृष्ण माता देवकी की आठवीं संतान थे। क्योंकि कृष्ण ही उनका (राजा कंस) का वध करेंगे, ऐसी भविष्यवाणी हो चुकी थी , वे (राजा कंस) सदैव कृष्ण को मारने का प्रयास करते रहे। किंतु, अंत में कृष्ण ने ही उनको, उनके पापों की सजा देकर, प्रजा को उसके अत्याचारों से मुक्त किया था। 
।।  जयश्री कृष्ण।।
