Ramayana - The Story of Lord Rama

We are going to celebrate Ram Navami - the appearance day of Lord Rama on coming 2nd of April. And our National Channel also has started broadcasting of Ramayana once again so at least new generation can also take flavor of our Vedic culture and importance of it.

Ramayana means Ram-Ayana its Ram-The supreme enjoy-er and Ayana means place so it means the place where we can live happily and enjoy, so it's shelter of only Lord Rama's lotus feet without taking shelter of Lord Rama, we can not keep our self happy and it is impossible.

But, unfortunately we are trying to be happy without Lord Rama in our life and thinking our self smart and result we become more miserable. Most of the people believe it's myth and there is no truth behind it, So for their kind information, it's not a mythological story, mythological story can only give you momentum pleasure but this Ramayana is giving you eternal pleasure since more than 100 thousands of years and still we are not only just reading but keeping full faith on it.

It is true if we follow Ramayana and its principle in our life we will never be in any situation which creates trouble for us. The Lesson we learn from each and every characters from Ramayana is very much powerful and have meaning in our life.

In one of the incident while asking way to Lanka from Sea God Lord Rama kept three days fasting and praised Sea God but Laxmana did not like it instead he wanted to Lord Rama to show his power instead of asking way from Sea God.

Lord Rama smiled and told Laxmana, "My dear Laxmana, carrying Bow and Arrow does not mean we should always show our power to everyone instead we must be humble while we have power then only people will give you respect else you will be arrogant and if required then we should use our power."

Even we see how Lord Rama asked Ravana if he surrender to Lord Rama He will forgive him although after so much of struggle building the bridge when he reached in Lanka, so we can understand the compassion of Lord Rama.

Lord Rama in none other than Lord Narayana himself but He was living a human life to give us the lesson how a human being should follow his path in his life to make a good society and culture.

Lord Rama rulled over earth for 11,000 of years and that was the time where everyone was living a happy and peaceful life as in Sri Ramcharit Manas Tulsidas Baba also stated;

दैहिक दैविक भौतिक तापा। राम राज नहिं काहुहि ब्यापा।।
सब नर करहिं परस्पर प्रीती। चलहिं स्वधर्म निरत श्रुतिनीती।।

Even now a days people talk about Ram Rajya, so we can understand the importance of Rama Rajya and if we try to cultivate little love towards Lord Rama surely it will come back again and there will no threefold miseries (Adhi bhautika, Adhi daivika, Adhyatmika).

So, simply by reciting Ramayana one can free from miseries of this material world and achieve his Goal without any obstacles.

Jai Shri Ram.

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
