Spiritual and Material both education is important for our Growth


Today every institute is providing only material education and keeping spirituality in one side. They think spiritual education is different part and it should not be included in our material education but one thing they forgot that spiritual and material both are two tracks of any human society for development, if you keep any of the side unbalanced then everything will be disturbed.

As we can see there are big-big universities facilitating so many degrees and high technologies education although there are so many students committing suicide every year.

So, what they lack of? Government is trying to keep exam pressure away from students and this way they want to solve the current issues, but they are failed to do so. Because they are not trying to find out the root cause of the problems and trying to apply some alternate way of solutions.

Today there are no Varna and Ashram principles as it was there in ancient times, everybody was following that principles and that principle is made by Krishna Himself. As it is stated in Bhagwat Gita Chapter 4.13

चातुर्वर्ण्यं मया सृष्टं गुणकर्मविभागशः
तस्य कर्तारमपि मां विद्ध्यकर्तारमव्ययम् १३

According to the three modes of material nature and the work associated with them, the four divisions of human society are created by Me. And although I am the creator of this system, you should know that I am yet the nondoer, being unchangeable.

And these Ashram was made for Barhamachari (Student life), Grihastha (Married life), Vanprastha (Retired life) and Sanyasa (Renounced life). And these are 4 stages where a human society can divide their life in it and go home back to godhead after completion of their responsibilities.

But now the problem is there is not Varna and Ashram and everyone is living an animalistic way of life, Students want mixed culture, there are no more Brahmacharya life and Grihstha wants sense gratification but don't want to take responsibility of wife and children, there is no more Vanprastha and Sanyasa life.

In America there is one community where retired people stay together and enjoy there sense gratification and die with transmitted disease. So we can see here, if we want to control our senses we must follow four Varna and Ashram properly and specially for Student (Brahmachari life) needs to be maintained properly otherwise whole society will get disturbed.

Basically, we are trying to build our own system and break all rules and regulation made by our scriptures. We want to stay in live in relationship but don't want marriage and take responsibility of it. And the reason whole society get polluted.

Actually, this system was made to maintain human society and keep Krishna in centre, so we can peacefully live our life and maintain society as well.

For every relationship there are three "C" formula, Character, Commitment and Care and if we do follow it we can make our relationship better and in today's education no schools are teaching this.

Someone has said, If Money is gone, nothing is gone. if Health is gone something is gone but if Character is gone everything is gone.

So, we can understand how important our character is and if we do not have commitment and care also, we can never maintain any relations.

We can have a lot of material degrees but until and unless we don't have spiritual knowledge we cannot survive in this world.

So, please understand the value of both the education and live a happy and peaceful life.

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
