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 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
