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.

Learning Lessons from Mother Sumitra

In this world mother and child relationship is above all the relations. The foremost responsibility of a mother is to place her child in a proper Krishna Consciousness environment by which he/she becomes pure devotee of the Lord. Often mothers blame for their children, they are not behaving well and they don't respect them at all but the reason behind this is how much we are doing for them. Being a parent means to sacrifice for children. In modern age mother has no time to care of her children and think they can give all kinds of facilities by just giving money. And when the child grows up and by the time he/she do not get the association of mother and teachings they become free to do what they want to do. Mother means to care for her children what they need and give love and teach them how to love and respect others. And if we think we just send our children to schools/colleges and they will be perfect in all so they cannot. Its the duty of the mother to give valuable time ...

Laxmana - The Hidden Hero of Ramayana

In our previous post we have already mentioned Ramayna is not an ordinary story but a complete learning lesson from each & every characters. Laxmana is one of the character of Ramayana, who was completely hide himself to glorify from others, and away from honor and dishonor. Laxmana teaches us how to maintain character, competency, selfless service, and equal in both the situation either you are praised or you are abused. If you have fixed your aim, then there is no question of disturbance what people say to you. But when we get into the deep of Ramayana and see the value of Laxmana, We see he was the hero after Lord Rama in the whole story. Laxmana represents  who carry out Laxmi with him and serve Lord Rama by his good will. Laxmana always eager to serve Lord Rama, when Lord Rama was about to go for exile for fourteen years Laxmana immediately stood up & ready to go along with Lord Rama although he was not asked to go to exile. Laxmana took vow, he will not sleep for four...

TIT for TAT OR Tolerate That

Many of the times we go through situations where we get confused what to do now? According to our Vedic Scriptures we should keep three things in our mind and accordingly react or respond on situations. If you can change it: Situations comes in your life or brought by some people and you know if it is completely against our religious principle, then you must stand against it and try to change the situations. When Hauman Ji reached in Lanka and Lankini the guard of Lanka tried to stop Him and because it was against the religious principle as his own master kidnapped others wife, Hanuman Ji punched on her mouth by His left hand and move on. Same way if you have power and know things are going against Dharma, you should change the situations else you have to suffer sinful reactions of it. If you can not change it: Sometimes situations are completely against us and we are not even able to change it then that time we must accept the situation and try to tolerate it.  You don't believe...
