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.

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...
