तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय
From darkness, lead me to light

Hello peeps
How are you all?

Prosperity which is dependent on crookedness alone, is destined to be destroyed.
- Vidur

Vidur Niti - Spark of Wisdom
It's Narrated before Bhagwat Gita
And one of my favourite part of Entire Mahabharat.

Kshattri Vidur - an ideal example of truth, dutifulness, impartial judgement and steadfast dharma.

Vidur indeed was God of Justice- Dharm or Yamraj cursed by Rishi Mandavya

Rishi Mandavya was a sage
When he died , He was taken to hell

So he asked Yam about his Sins
Lord Yama gave the answer that he was punished for having tortured insects and bees in his childhood, by piercing them with blades of grass.
In response, Mandavya cursed the Yama,to born on earth  as his punishment exceeded the sins committed as an ignorant child.

Therefore, Yamraj was born in the mortal world i.e Earth as Vidur

Vidur was the prime minister of the Kuru Kingdom and also the uncle of the Pandavs and Kauravs
