No Pain, No Gain

Most of the time people see only one part of the successful people and that is his success but they never try to see the other part which is hidden and full of failures, pain and learning. Reason behind it is the first part is easily visible to all of us, but second part only that person has experienced it and he only knows it very well.
There is one famous quote from Sir APJ Abdul Kalam, "Don’t read success stories, you will only get a message. Read failure stories, you will get some ideas to get success."

But all of us are very much attached to know the success stories, but and try to follow that person and think of ourselves will be successful one day without any failures, pain and learning.

I share you one of great personality and businessman Steve Jobs- Founder, CEO and Chairman of Apple Inc. We only heard about his successful life and business growth, but never tried to know the pain behind it how he become successful. Success is not a tool we just have to apply in our life and we will be successful but its hard work, patience and and determination towards our Goal.

Steve Jobs were college drop out and his financial condition was not good to afford for higher education so he started the study of his own.

One of the event he shared his past life to the students in the now iconic speech, “I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with. And I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it.

Today we see Apple products – computers, laptops, iPods, iPads and iPhones are in the market and considered to be the top brands.

Success doesn’t come overnight. It requires focus and perseverance. In order to achieve your goals, keep in mind that you must expect great things and make them happen.

Lord Krishna was Arjuna's good friend but Arjuna had fight with Kaurva and went through many bad situations in his life then finally he became successful. He does blaming to Krishna why me going through all the pains, why me only suffering and when War was over and everyone started glorifying to Arjuna for his great victory then Lord Krishna told to Arjuna, "This is the answer why you? because I wanted you to become a successful person not coward."

Take home lesson is until and unless we will not go through suffering we will not get success and stop crying and start facing the situation.

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
