praise is praiseworthy
One is a divinity incarnate, in reality , born with potential to become infinitely powerful.
a praise , tho may be a superlative , cannot really do justice to the real stature ,
even by the best of vocabulary, poetry, song, and dance
so any sycophancy is inadequate, incomplete, imperfect, partial, patchy,
because, the living soul is supreme , tho is in seed form,
the more the praise, the more the supreme is pleased,
the more the blessings will be his who do sing the praise
one can praise a boss, a leader, a cadre, a commoner, a rag picker--all deserve the best praise
the praise from the heart
one can praise a cow, a bull, an ass, a crow, a tree, a river a mountain a moon a star, a dead stone .
all are the manifestation of the divinity tho in lesser or greater degree.
a praise is in reality a prayer, nothing less ,--in what way is done or on whom done ,
on what occasion done. on pretext done
on what occasion done. on pretext done
let's be the best sycophants
we shall be truly blessed
Sthuthi in sanskrit means to praise.
Stothras are the praise of the Hindu Gods.

what praise does, to whom?
basically praise is a praise to the self praise, atma sthuthi
why praise?
human has infinite qualities , potential powers, with stored inside , bunching them , under each deva title for convenience
to awaken those powers in us , we need to utter these praises, sthuthis, sthothras
the benefit is for those who utter , to those who hear .
by that
in both of them, typical Powers associated with that god, like say vishnu, are awakened .

and one becomes inspired to action with all the energy and intelligence to accomplish great tasks
Rama praised hanuman and inspired him to great actions
we have powers, but a sthuthi makes them available for use .
and a praise is an instant morale booster,
And for that reason, knowingly, the kings employed the services of professional sycophants, whose job is to praise the king at suitable occasion and create an atmosphere of dignity awe respect so that he can proceed successfully with his conducting the affairs of the kingdom.

Soldiers are praised before they are roused for an attack on the enemy
we praise our country , thus raise our aspirations , thus inspired to meat ideals
national anthem is great, it is a great praise
it moves our heart
it moves our heart
in praise heart melts, message is accepted resistence hesitation disappear
intimacy grows, love gets generated, team spirit is generated, good work is accomplished
so let's not discount the powers of praise, even it can be genuine or only words
