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.

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
