How to improve concentration and focus in study?


I was recently talking to group of parent about their child, how their child reacts at home and how they study? Most of the parent were facing major issue of their child, they were lacking of focus and concentration on their study. And later, I asked the same question from children, they replied, they want to study but they can’t focus on it.

That is not only problem of few of the parents but major of them are struggling with the same kind of problem. But how can we get rid of it this, that is the question of parent as well as student?

Here I am going to share you few tips from scriptures which I have experienced and applied on some of children and it worked, so if you follow these rules it must help you to focus and improve concentration in your study.

Why Should I study? Ask yourself the reason, why I am studying until and unless you won’t be clarified about your why? Till the time you will never understand the value of it. Most of the students are studying to just pass their exams and their parent want to study but they do not have their clear vision why should I study? Make your goal first then you increase your interest in study.

Learning with Fun: Student think learning is a big task for me and when they asked for study, they feel bored sometimes. So there is something lacking in your study, first of all if you will not take interest and forcibly learn something you will not get knowledge but just an information and there is huge difference between knowledge and information. So make your study interesting, keep some drawing, colorful marker, print some design and learn out of it.

Focus: Most of students, when they start study their mind goes here and there and they go along with the mind and after some time they realize their time is finished. So when you want to start you study keep everything aside and before you start finish everything what you suppose to do, do not think of anything for future. But although mind will drag you, try to pull it and keep doing your study, do not keep cell phones, remotes etc. Make your study room neat and clean, put photograph (Krisnha along with Cow or learning in His gurukul) front of yours. Do not change your place every day instead sit every day at one place. Avoid noisy area, disturbance and gossips.

Get yourself a Study Partner: Try to call one of your scholar friend and study together and this way if you can ask him your doubts and together you can do better. In this kaliyuga you can not do anything alone if you keep yourself lonely you do some wrong thing so better keep your good friend with you. Chose one topic both and prepare in given time and ask one by one about your preparation.

No Caffeine: Most of student drinks tea/coffee and keep chocolates along with them while studying, it gives relax for sometimes but not for long run but it makes your body lazy. Better keep fresh water in earthen pot and drink (don’t just gulp it but try to take it sip by sip slowly) it when you feel sleepy.
Don’t be a thief: While studying student focus more on surrounding rather than their books and this way if something happens their mind goes immediately over there. So first of all you should understand, you are not the thief so be free, let anything happen outside you just keep your focus on study, even if someone enter in your room do not look behind until and unless someone call you.

Purity and Prayer: It is very important to keep yourself neat and clean with proper dress, this is very important because if we are not pure from outside, we cannot focus on anything. So make yourself bathed, dressed and close your eyes hold your palms and pray to Krishna by chanting Mahamantra, “Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.” Then start you study.

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
