Power of Association

We can judge a person by his association because a person accepts good or bad quality only by the association, that is the reason our scripture always remind us to choose our association very wisely.

There is one saying, "संग लेना है तो अच्छा संग लीजिये क्योंकि सुनार का कचरा भी बनिए के बादाम से महंगा होता है ".

If we are in good association and going to do something bad, people associated with us will stop us to do such thing and in Kaliyuga association has only power to save us from all kind of dangers and misdirection.

I am going to share you one of the story of great legend personality King Bharata the son of Rishabhdeva (incarnation of Lord Krishna).

Bharata Maharaja was known for his austerity, detachment and kind hearted person although he was a great King.

He took renunciation at very early age from his umpire and went for austerity in forest and started living a life of sage.

One day while he was taking bath in River Gandaki, He saw a female dear drinking water and suddenly she heard roar of a lion and jumped to the river and unable to reach other side and left her body.

But she left a child dear behind her and everything was happening in front of Bharata Maharaja eyes. He saved child dear from lion and started caring her and kept in his ashram.

He was too much attached with the child dear and one day child dear left the ashram and when Bharata Maharaja came and did not see the child dear, He thought it will be back soon but she did not come.

Bhrata Maharaja started worrying about child dear and forgot his austerity and devotional service and thus he gone mad and left eating, drinking and finally left his body by remembering child dear.

So, why I am sharing this story is because the person who left everything his family, society, people for his austerity and was detached from everything but got stuck in child dear.

He did nothing wrong by saving child dear as it was his duty as a human being but while doing this he forgot his ultimate duty of his life. It was happened because nobody was there to tell him, how to deal with that situation.

Here we can see Bharata Maharaja was not an ordinary person but due lack of association he also stuck in wrong decision. And one wrong decision spoiled his life and again he need to take birth.

So, from this story we can understand we should always be in a good association, so if we are going to do something people will advise us what is good and what is bad for us.

Because from our mind we cannot take proper decision and our one wrong decision can make our whole life miserable. And being in a great association makes people great. But how much intelligent we are, if we are not in the association we must be cheated somewhere by the illusion.

Association keep ourselves in safe zone and away from danger.

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...

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 ...
