Changes comes from Within

Everywhere we see, people demand for changes in societies, countries, working cultures and in families. But one thing they forgot, they cannot make changes in other until and unless they do not change themselves.There is a story of one boy, he was falling sick frequently for his sweet eating habits, so his mother went to one saintly person and asked the reason why he is not stop eating sweet as he knows that is the reason I am falling sick again and again.
The saint looks that boy and asked mother to come after a week. Mother and son came after a week and met saint one again. Saint told boy,"My dear, please stop eating sweet as it is harming your health."
The mother asked that saint, "We came last week, but you did not say anything, why you took a week to say the same thing which could tell before too?"
Saint smiled and replied, "That time I was also eating sweet and I thought let me stop first before saying to that boy to stop."
So we can learn a meaningful lesson from this story, before changing to someone we must change our self. And we cannot change everyone instead we need to accept the person how they are. We always see the faults in others and start criticizing and hating them, but there is no effect on that person instead we make our life miserable and it makes our behavior to change everything according to our acceptance. And if we cannot change situations and people we get frustrated.

We must understand, changes come from within and if we change our self the whole world seems changed.

Life is a preparation, death is an examination

We participate in so many exams in our life, and get the results as per our preparation for that exams. But most of the exams we have option, whether to attempt it or not? But there is one exam in our life which we may ignore saying we will see when it would come in our life, but we all have to attempt we don't have any choice, whether we are poor,  rich,  educated or illiterate. Srila Prabhupada used to say, this life is our preparation how we are preparing our-self for coming exam.  Because that exam has no prior time table, no time period, no grace marks, and no cheat sheet allowed. And you may be surprise to know, all our activities are recorded by Yamduta for our each and every moments with evidence. Yes, Yamduta will show your answer sheet and you can review it, whether he has marked you in correct way or not? You are successful, if you are passed your exams but if you are failed then you don't know when you will have to reattempt that exam (it could be after 84 laces bir

Be Humble - Time can change everything

When we get name, fame and power we puffed by the false ego and become arrogant to the people and think no one is greater than me. But our history says, who were arrogant, time has collapsed all of them. None of us can say, I can beat the time and can go against it. We all are under control of Time as Lord Krishna has already stated in the Bhagwad Gita (I am the time and eveything is under my control). But due to our false ego we do not accept this fact become arrogant with other people instead of becoming humble with them. Who was "King of Good times" now became "King of bad times", so easily we can understand time make us King or Beggar. So we should be always being humble with the people in our Good times and take blessings from them for our bad times, but we do exactly opposite of it, we become arrogant in Good times and seek for blessings in our bad times. But what is the use of it, when you hurt someone, you lose sympathy from that person's heart.

A visit to GEV

Srila Prabhupada was very much concerned about modern life style and he always used to tell his disciples, only building temples are not enough to live a pure Krishna Conscious way of life along with it we must follow our Vedic Culture and in our Vedic Culture we were fully dependent on Cows and Lands but in modern age we have rejected both and result we are not getting healthy foods and milk products. So we have to build Farm Communities where we can live a healthy life and in minimum amount of time we can produce grains, vegetables, fruits and milk products etc. and rest of the time they can do their devotional service. Milk and Grains can not be produced in factories and for this we require Cows and Lands. Govardhan Ecovillage is a project of International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The project is owned and managed by ISKCON Wada, Maharashtra. It is the result of an ardent desire of H.H.Radhanath Swami Maharaj to fulfill the dream of his beloved guru, His Divine
