Hanuman Ji - A Powerful but Humble devotee

Today We are celebrating the appearance day of Hanuman Ji a great and very humble devotee of Lord Rama. It is said that, if you want to get rid from miseries of this birth and death cycle you have to surrender yourself to lotus feet of Lord Rama and before that you have to take permission from Hanuman Ji. Without Hanuman ji sanction you can not reach to Lord Rama.

It's a very rare in the person where power and humbleness can be together, but this unique quality make Hanuman ji a great devotee of Lord Rama even there are so many in the lines.

We can see by so many incident where Hanuman ji proved his humbleness, When Hanuman ji reached at Lanka and started convincing Ravana to return Mother Sita otherwise you will be the cause of your whole destruction and Ravana became so angry and asked his ministers to kill Hauman Ji.

But Hauman ji tolerated everything and just waited for signal of Sri Ram Chandra when Lord Ram Chandra gave His Signals (by radio frequency) then Hanuman ji showed his anger by burning whole Lanka but before doing that He waited for Lord Rama's permission.

After burning Lanka when he return back to mother Sita and asked mother Sita, I can take you back along with me no one can stop me but I don't have permission from Lord Rama, I have only permission to find out you. Although Hanuman Ji could do that very easily but He wanted to glorify Lord Rama and this way he back from Lanka without mother Sita.

And finally we see when Hauman Ji back to Lord Rama from Lanka and tell about mother Sita, Lord Rama try to glorify Hanuma ji but Hanuman Ji fall down in the Lotus feet of Lord Rama filled tears in his eyes and said,

सो सब तव प्रताप रघुराई। नाथ न कछू मोरि प्रभुताई॥

My Dear Lord this is all because of your mercy there is nothing great work I have done.

We can see crossing that ocean was a very big challenge and entering into Lanka was even more but Hanuman ji did it and Hanuman ji do not take credit of all these instead He give it to Lord Rama.

So, we can learn from Hauman ji, If we are humble then all other qualities automatically comes to us and Lord Rama will be pleased from us. But when we get some power we become arrogant and think that power is achieved by me, and I can do whatever I wish to do and no one can stop me.

Power is given by the Lord and it should be used for right cause when we start using it for own benefit and try to misuse it, we lose everything.

On this auspicious day we pray to Hauman Ji to make us humble like Him so we can be free from false ego and serve devotees and Lord Rama in a better way.

Jai Sri Rama, Jai Hanumana.

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
