क्षमा शत्रौ त मित्रे च यतीनामेव भूषणम् ।
अपराधिषु सत्त्वेषु नृपाणां सैव दूषणम् ।।

Forgiveness towards a foe as well as a friend is the ornament of the sages who have subdued passion; (but) towards offending beings in a monarch it is a fault

Having said this, many of us treat ourselves as Monarch and treat everyone as aparadhis and try to crack down. As such cracking down on people is considered by few a jewel on their crown.

However, the first step it seems to be Jnani to treat friend and foe alike

Jai shree krishna

Death will reach only at the calculated time. What ever might be the situation, how terrifying it may be, my bad luck still lingering on, still I am alive – Valmiki Ramayan 5-28-3

In अशोकवन, सीता was sad - physically and mentally, surrounded by Rakshashis who tried to terrify her. She could had easily blamed Rama, Lakshmana or Bharatha for her situation (for absence at appropriate time). However, great people do not blame other for their disturbing situations. She choose to bear it by saying it is her own mistake and her bad luck.

There is no point in blaming others for our mistakes and overt act; it will not raise our aura. Neither does such blaming offers a right solution nor adequate help. One should think about the next probable step and try to tackle the situation. To do, first, one must realize the mistakes on their part

Places where animals are sacrificed is called soonaa. While talking about Grihasta, scriptures indicates panchasoonaa gruhasthasya, thus indicating Grihasta becomes soonaa five times


Kallee : While burning firewood for cooking, many living things dies
Beshinee : Yantram; by crushing cereals to make flour, some living things dies
upaskara - Broomstick; while cleaning the house some living things dies
kandanee : Grinder, Mortar; during the act of mortaring of full grains, some living things dies
uthakumbah - vessel to store water; act of boiling water some living things diesTo clear these five soonaa dosha, maharishis gave us five maha yajnas

adhyayanam brahmayajnah pitruyajnas tu tharpanam
homo thaivah balirboutho, nruyajno athithi poojaanam
panchaidaanyo mahaayajnaan na haapayathi bhakthithah
sa gruhe api vasan nithyam soonaa doshair na lipyathe

Thus it indicates, these 5 mahayajnas does counter pancha soonaa dosha that a man incurs
