Life's problems are like holding the Glass

In classroom Professor asked to his students, "Can you guess weight of this glass?"
Student replied, "It may be 100 gms."
Professor replied, "That's good". and what if I hold it for an hour?
Student replied, "Sir, you feel little pain in your hand."
Professor replied, "That's true". and what if I hold it for whole day?
Student replied, "Sir, it will freeze your hand and you feel more pain."

Professor asked, "But do you think weight of the glass got change during this time of process?

Student replied, "No Sir, weight of the glass is still same."

Then what was the cause of pain in my hand as the weight of the glass was remain same? Professor asked?

There were no answer in whole class.

Professor told to the students, "My dear students, weight of the glass is still same but the reason behind my pain is I was holding the glass for long time and if I keep it down I can feel relax."

Our life problems are exactly the same, if we hold our problems for an hour it will disturb us little but if we hold it for a day it will disturb little more and if we hold it for days then we goes into depression and this way we won't be able to do anything.

It is important to think of the challenges or problems in our life, But even more important is to put them down at the end of every day before we go to sleep.

So, when we start our next day we can think from our fresh mind without holding glass of problems from our previous day.

Life is full of problems and everyone has to face it but thinking on the same problem will not give us the solution instead keep your head cool and take it easy. Problems are not going to go away from your life it's part of our life, if you solve one there are many in the que.

In Bhagwad Gita Chapter 8.15 Lord Krishna has already declared about this world and its problems.

मामुपेत्य पुनर्जन्म दु:खालयमशाश्वतम् ।
नाप्‍नुवन्ति महात्मान: संसिद्धिं परमां गता: ॥ १५ ॥

After attaining Me, the great souls, who are yogīs in devotion, never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, because they have attained the highest perfection.

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
