Acharya Chanakya says in Chanakya Niti:
'Daanam swadharmo nityam, dwadashi cha vratam tatha.
Chanting Gayatri Cha: Son, service to mother, happiness.
According to this verse, a person who does four things enjoys happiness and prosperity throughout his life. Let us know what are these four important things according to Chanakya ji.
1. Importance of charity
According to Acharya Chanakya, a person who donates never remains in trouble. By selflessly donating food, clothes, money or knowledge, one gets virtuous results not only in this life but also for seven generations. Feeding the hungry and giving water to the thirsty is considered the greatest charity. Donation should be done from time to time in household life, this keeps God happy and there is always happiness in the house.
2. Importance of Dwadashi Tithi
In Chanakya Niti, Dwadashi date has been described as the best among all the dates. This is the date of breaking Ekadashi fast. The person who regularly observes Ekadashi fast and observes Dwadashi, gets the special blessings of Lord Vishnu. Acharya Chanakya says that Dwadashi Tithi liberates one from the bondage of birth and death and helps one attain Vaikuntha Dham.
3. Chanting Gayatri Mantra
According to Acharya Chanakya, there is no better mantra than Gayatri Mantra in the entire universe. It is considered to be the mother of the four Vedas (Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, Atharvaveda). By chanting Gayatri Mantra daily, a person becomes free from every kind of trouble. This mantra increases intelligence, sharpness and spiritual power. Chanakya says that a person who chants Gayatri Mantra never fails.
4. Mother's service
In Chanakya Niti, mother has been described as the most precious thing in the world. The person who serves, respects and obeys his mother gets happiness both in this world and the next world. Serving mother is considered a direct path to heaven. The person who insults or ignores his mother neither gets peace in this world nor in the next world.
