Selfie made us Selfish


Today selfie become more popular and everyone busy into it. I was thinking this selfie is making people more selfish because previously people used to ask someone to take photographs and now, they take it from their own. So, more we become independent more we will be selfish. And this way we all time start thinking about I, Me and Mine but if we see our scriptures it is full of selflessness attitude and it makes us happier than being selfish.

More we become selfish more we will be miserable. In modern age our teachings are purely based on being selfish attitude and that's why neither we are happy nor we make others happy. Actually, all the time if we think about ourselves, we become fearful and feel lonely in this world and if we live selfless attitude life, we make ourselves happy as well as other too.

I am going to share story about a great Sage Maharshi Dadhichi from their life we can see how He served selflessly to the world and taught us to be selfless and happy.

While there was war going on between Demons and Demigods. Demons became more powerful and defeated Demigods and this way King Indra went to Lord Shiva and asked for help. Lord Shiva told to Indra, "My dear Indra, this demon Vritrasura has become stronger than stone and none of your weapons will work against him and if you want to kill him then you have to go to Maharshi Dadhichi because He has made his bones much stronger than stones by his penance and austerity."

King Indra went to Maharshi Dadhichi with all other Demigods and asked for help. After listening Maharshi Dadhichi laughed on Indra and told, "So, you need my bones to kill Vritrasura but what about my life?" Indra was speechless and thought he will not get any help from Maharshi Dadhichi.

But Maharshi Dadhichi replied to Indra, "My dear Indra anyhow one day this body is going to be waste but if you can take advantage of it and if it is in welfare of society then I will be grateful for it, please take it."

After getting bones of Maharshi Dadhichi Indra made "Vajra" and attacked on Demons and killed.

This great sacrifice of Maharshi Dadhichi made his name flash in golden words whenever examples are given of sacrifice and selfless attitude.

So, by this story we can learn, we cannot be happy by being selfish but selfless. By caring and listening to others we can be change our attitude from selfish to selfless.

      Yes. People are living in imaginary world instead of real world.

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
