What did you learn from Rosa Parks?

Ans. Rosa Parks was not afraid to fight against the white Americans and start a boycott against the bus company. She started the Civil Rights movement due to her bravery

How can we be more like the Lion and not the foolish timid Rabbit

Ans. We need to determine what our real fears are and pray to Lord Hanumanji and combat the fears by facing them. In this way we can overcome our fears.
