Why Guru is so Important in our life?

Hare Krishna,

Wish you all a very happy Gita Jayanti. When We talk about Bhagwad Gita then we are talking about the real knowledge and real knowledge comes from real Guru and real Guru comes from Guru-Disciple succession.

So In Bhagwad Gita also Arjuna accepted Krishna as his Guru (as Krishna is known as Krishnam Vande Jagat Guru) not to just to show to the world but he was confused about his duty, what to do and what not to do? Although he was very much powerful on material platform.

So here we can understand, how much we are Wealthy, Powerful and Knowledgeable but at certain point of time we get bewildered, that time we needed Guru for right guidance. 

Most of the people think they can get knowledge from anywhere as there are so many mediums are available in today's era. But actually they forget one thing, what we get from today's medium is not a proper knowledge but it is just an information. For proper knowledge we must got to the person who don't comes under below 4 faults:

1. Every human being has incomplete senses and due to this they can not give us complete knowledge
2. They are in illusions, so they can not give clear idea
3. They do mistakes
4. They have cheating proficiency

So here we can see, human being have these 4 permanent faults, that is why they can not give us proper guidance.

But anyone can ask how can you say GURU's are free from all these 4 faults? So basically answer is, GURU's are not an ordinary person like us but they are the representative of supreme personality of GodHead Krishna but we also need little intelligence to test if Guru are talking about Krishna and authorized scriptures or he is talking simple of his own and telling himself as GOD.

If you understand the difference between the Real Guru and Fake Guru then you need to take shelter of Him, without talking shelter of Guru you can not get the real knowledge.

As Krishna also says in Bhagwad Gita Chapter 4.34;



तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्न‍ेन सेवया ।
उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं ज्ञानिनस्तत्त्वदर्शिनः ॥ ३४ ॥
Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth.

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...
