In Laravel 4, I want to redirect the user back to the page from where the request came. For example, a user tries to update his profile so edits the profile and hits SAVE. In controller I do the update and normally I would do Redirect::to('profile')->with('message','Profile saved!'). But what I want is to simply redirect it back with message. May be something like Redirect::back()->with('message','Operation Successful !') if this is available. I want it as it is more generic and I can use it anywhere.

Yes this is available:
return Redirect::back()->with('message','Operation Successful !');
But since this is a redirected request, you have to access the message by using:
echo Session::get('message');
