Durdama was the son of a Gandharva named Vishwavasu. Once, he was enjoying himself in a lake near Kailasa along with thousands of his wives. Sage Vasishta, who was observing tapas there, got annoyed and cursed him. As a result, he became a Rakshasa. His wives pleaded with Vasishta for mercy. Vasishta said that Durdama would become a Gandharva again after 17 years with the grace of Lord Vishnu. Later, when Durdama was trying to swallow Galava Muni, he was beheaded by Lord Vishnu and regained his original form. The moral of the story is that actions have consequences, but redemption is possible through compassion and divine grace.
Dakshina is a traditional gift or offering given to a priest, teacher, or guru as a sign of respect and thanks. This can be money, goods, or something valuable. People give dakshina voluntarily to support those who dedicate their lives to religious and spiritual work. It is given for honoring and supporting those who provide spiritual knowledge and guidance.
