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.

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 lac...

In today's world everyone is looking for success and for that by hook or by crook they want to achieve it. After getting that achievement they need more and more and if they do not get they become frustrated. And we see more of the so called successful people at some level they are not able to tolerate the failure and end up their life. So, here we are going to discuss, what is the real meaning of success? First of all we must understand, Success is not a destination but a journey. In our life we may consider anything of success, but it means opportunity to implore our self more.
