Happy Navratri and Gudi Padwa.

We are celebrating Gudi Padwa (In Maharashtra) and other places it is known as Navratri a festival of Goddess Durga.

Goddess Durga is mother and in charge of this material world and she has power to give us facility to be a devotee of Lord Krishna or suffer in this material world.

Here is one incident I am sharing where mother Parvati (Durga) talking to Lord Shiva and asking about after Lord Shiva completed His penance of 1000 years. Mother Parvati asked whom you meditate all the time and become happy let me know the secret of it.
Lord Shiva smiled and replied to Mother Parvati I always meditate on Lord Vishnu, who is worship able to all and that is the reason I always be happy.
But I am too busy in my houses work and I can not have that much time to meditate on Lord Vishnu because taking Lord Vishnu's 1000 names (Sahastra naam) will take too much time.

Lord Shiva told to mother Parvati, "Dear Parvati why you are worried, I tell you one short cut withing your time you will be able to get advantage of Lord Vishnu's 1000 names."

And Lord Shiva told mother Parvati to take three times of Lord Rama's name and that will be equivalent to 1000 of Lord Vishnu's name and taking one time name of Lord Krishna's name is equivalent to 3 times of Lord Rama's name.

1000 Vishnnu name  is equal to Vishnu Sahashtra name
3 times Lord Rama's name is equal to 1000 Vishnnu name
1 time Krishna's name is equal to 3 times Lord Rama's name

So, if we take one name of Lord Krishna it is equivalent to Lord Vishnu's 1000 names.

And After that mother Parvati got so much time to take Lord's name.

And it is said in Puranas, Lord Shiva is only one who know the value of Lord's holy name and after that half of it mother Parvati and rest great sages and what to speak of we people.

Happy Navratri and Gudi Padwa.

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 ...

Laxmana - The Hidden Hero of Ramayana

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. But when we get into the deep of Ramayana and see the value of Laxmana, We see he was the hero after Lord Rama in the whole story. Laxmana represents  who carry out Laxmi with him and serve Lord Rama by his good will. 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...
