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.

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
