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 lac...

Real meaning of Success

In today's world everyone is looking for success and for that by hook or by crook they want to achieve it. After getting that achievement they need more and more and if they do not get they become frustrated. And we see more of the so called successful people at some level they are not able to tolerate the failure and end up their life. So, here we are going to discuss, what is the real meaning of success? First of all we must understand, Success is not a destination but a journey. In our life we may consider anything of success, but it means opportunity to implore our self more. Definition of success changed as per our situation and time as a child, think I will be successful if I get good marks in my exam and the same child after getting good marks started thinking I will be successful if I get a good job. So we can see it is not fixed at some point we think if we get that thing I may be successful but after getting it into our definition of success got changed. Success is...
