Out of Sight Out of Mind

Everyone in this material world looking for his sense gratification and today's culture is purely based on lust to attract the people to fulfill their sex desires. But one thing we must understand this lust is the door of Hell and the person who are engaged to fulfill his sense desires never be happy and always be unsatisfied and unsatisfied person can not live a peaceful life.

But this can be controlled by if we keep our self away from type of people who are involved into it, glamours, media, pornography, mix cultures etc. Because it is function of our mind until and unless it will not hear, see something about sense objects till the time it will be silent and won't disturb us. So better keep our self away from these things as and let mind be in stable condition.

I am going to share you a great story from Srimad Bhagwatam where we can learn from how "Out of Sight Out of Mind" really works and we can not protect our self from getting involved into sense gratification.

The story is about great Rishi Saubhari Muni who was doing his penance under water for 1000 years and was taken vow for austerity to keep away from material desires. One day while he was performing his austerity he saw male and female fish were involved in their sense gratification. By seeing this Rishi felt sensually agitated and felt from his Yoga and went to King Mandhata and asked to marry with all the 50 daughters for his sexual pleasure.

Later Saubhari Muni became regretful for his sensual momentum pleasure and immediately he accepted Vanprastha life and performed austerity to became a great Rishi.

So, from this story we can learn if a great Rishi like Saubhari Muni can fall down from his 1000 of years of austerity by seeing combination of fish then what to speak of us if we see movies, magazines, social medias etc.

So, the best way to prevent our self is to keep away from all these things and apply our mind in vedic scriptures, service of Lords, association of devotees.

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
