Harita

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the genus of noctuid moths, see Harita (moth).

Harit (Harita) Rishi was a sage of the Lakulish cult and was a devotee of Lord Shiva (Shri Eklingji). Harita was also the guru who taught Bappa Rawal of Guhilot (later to called Sisodia) the four cardinal duties for the service of the state:

1. To follow the principles of Manav Dharma (the Religion of Man) and preserve Vedic Culture.
2. To serve all God's Creations as a service to God, the Creator of all life.
3. To endeavour constantly to keep the human soul awakened and alive, in order that human beings would value the Dignity of Man.
4. To help recognise Man's special status in the hierarchy of God's creations-the eternal principles underlying cosmic creation.
