Fear of Death

Everyone is under fear of death nowadays because of Corona Virus. Most of the people are in fear and due to fear they think I am the one who can come under death threat. But one thing we must know, Our Life and Death are already decided and its fixed before we come to this planet and no one can change it.

Everyone knows who was king Parikshit. He was the son of Abhimanyu and grandson of a great warrior Arjuna from Kuru vans (kuru Dynasty).

The incident happened when Parikshit Maharaj went hunting. The King, after pursuing a specific prey in the forest for a long time, had become tired and hungry. This was when he came across the hermitage of Rishi Shamika. Unaware that the rishi was under a vow of silence, the King enquired about the prey but the rishi answered not. Enraged by the Rishi’s silence, Parikshit Maharaj placed a dead snake on the Rishi’s shoulder with the end of his bow. The Rishi still did not protest. Observing this, Parikshit Maharaj became repentant and walked away.

The Rishi’s son Shringi, who himself was highly accomplished in penances, came to know of the insult of his father,  Shringi  cursed that the King will meet his death by the live snake Takshaka in seven days.

After knowing this Parikshit Maharaj did not bewildered but went to bank of Ganges and he met great Sukdev Gowswami and he requested Sukdev Gowswami what to do if I have less time and death is chasing me?

Sukhdev Gowswami replied only by hearing Bhagwatam you can come upon all pain and fear of death and don't worry death is for sure who has born has to die but if you die without fear you life will be successful.

Parikshit Maharaj heard Srimad Bhagwatam by Sukdev Goswami by seven days and seven nights without any interruptions and after that he happily left his body without fear even Takshaka was unable to touch Parikshit Maharaj, this is the power of Srimad Bhagwatam.

So, be patient, take necessary precautions, keep faith on God, hear Pastimes of Lord and be fearless.

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 ...

In our previous post we have already mentioned Ramayna is not an ordinary story but a complete learning lesson from each & every characters. Laxmana is one of the character of Ramayana, who was completely hide himself to glorify from others, and away from honor and dishonor. Laxmana teaches us how to maintain character, competency, selfless service, and equal in both the situation either you are praised or you are abused. If you have fixed your aim, then there is no question of disturbance what people say to you.

Laxmana always eager to serve Lord Rama, when Lord Rama was about to go for exile for fourteen years Laxmana immediately stood up & ready to go along with Lord Rama although he was not asked to go to exile. Laxmana took vow, he will not sleep for four...

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...
