People around me are not so Good?

Often we blame to the people around us they are not so good and how can we tolerate them? But if we are good then this world also looks good just we have to see with glass of compassion, tolerance, devotion, faith and trust.

Here is one small incident I am going to share you from the Ramayana. Vibhishana the younger brother of Ravana the demon king of Lanka was a great devotee of Lord Rama and he always used to chant Lord's holy name and remember pastimes of the Lord all the times.

In Lanka people were full of demonic nature and they were fully involved in meat eating, intoxication, gambling and illicit sex, except Vibhishana.

Even Tulsidas Baba has mentioned the citizens of Lanka in Sri Rama Charit Manas:

लंका निसिचर निकर निवासा। इहाँ कहाँ सज्जन कर बासा।।

Once news spread-ed all over Lanka that Vibhishana is writing the name of Lord Rama on his wall and when Ravana heard about it he personally went to see Vibhishana. After seeing Lord Rama's name on wall Ravana became so angry and shouted on Vibhishana, "How dare you to write the name of my enemy on wall in my own kingdom?"

Vibhishana with folded hand replied to Ravana, "My dear brother, how can I dare to write name of your enemy and your enemy is my enemy, you see it properly I am writing Rama, Ra-means Ravana, Ma-means Mandodari, I keep writing name of beloved brother and your wife to please you."

Hearing this Ravana became very happy and returned back to his palace.

So, here we can see although Lanka was very miserable place to live a person like Vibhishana but he was happily living over there just because he was under protection of Lord's holy name and we see how Hanuman Ji met Vibhishana and helped him to meet Lord Rama.

So, whoever people stay around us does not matter if we keep focused on Lord's holy name then definitely Lord will protect us from all the bad qualities. Instead of blaming people we should focus on our own improvement.

Lotus is the most beautiful flower but it grows in the mud, so be like lotus although people around you are not so good but if you keep yourself happy you will always be most happiest person in the world.

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 lac...

Real meaning of Success

In today's world everyone is looking for success and for that by hook or by crook they want to achieve it. After getting that achievement they need more and more and if they do not get they become frustrated. And we see more of the so called successful people at some level they are not able to tolerate the failure and end up their life. So, here we are going to discuss, what is the real meaning of success? First of all we must understand, Success is not a destination but a journey. In our life we may consider anything of success, but it means opportunity to implore our self more. Definition of success changed as per our situation and time as a child, think I will be successful if I get good marks in my exam and the same child after getting good marks started thinking I will be successful if I get a good job. So we can see it is not fixed at some point we think if we get that thing I may be successful but after getting it into our definition of success got changed. Success is...
