Pt. Deendayal Upadhyaya, who treated upliftment of the person at the lowest rung of society as the main goal of nation-building, was an epitome of simplicity, but his divine values made him visionary and extraordinary. Every person considered himself blessed after coming in contact with him. He would never leave anybody disappointed. He would use his sharp and brilliant mind and try to find a solution to any problem brought to him by any person. He was bursting with honesty, conscientiousness, courage and leadership qualities.  
Unity and integrity of the nation always remained paramount to him and he constantly worked hard for the same. The exceptional example of collectivity, organisational skills and nationalism that he portrayed in his short but celebrated life would pave the way for not only the current but future generations also. 
These short stories from the inspirational life of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, a great son of Mother India, would help others achieve something significant in their lives.
