It's not so easy to understand God!


When people try to understand God by their own knowledge and experience and think I know God then God must be thinking how foolish that person is trying to see whole world from inside the well.

It is said that God only reveal to them whom He want to, else by own knowledge and logic no one can understand God.

There is a small incident where we can understand, how we get confused when we try to understand God by his illusory energy.

While War was going on between Lord Rama and demon king Ravna and Indrajit fired the deadly noose of the serpent, with which he bound Rama and Lakshmana, who have  already been badly wounded by him.

Hanuman ji went to Vaikuntha Loka to call Garuda the carrier of Vishnu and told all story, Garuda came and after seeing Garuda snakes went away due to fear of Garuna and Lord Rama and Laxmana became free.

Everyone sarted praising Garuda and when Garuda was returning he thought are they really God? if they are then how come they can bound by serpent? I don't think they are God.

He immediately went to Lord Brahma to clear his doubt, after hearin from Garuda Lord Brahma told to Garuda, "My dear Garuda even I got confused like you so I can not clear your doubt better you go to Lord Shiva, he must help you."

Garuda went to Kailash and asked about his doubt, Lord Shiva smiled and told Garuda, "My dear Garuda I can clear your doubt but you are bird you better understand bird language than me so I recommend you to go Nilagiri and there is KaakBhushundi (In form of Crow) he will help you for sure."

Garuda went to Nilagiri and when he reached at that land immeditely his doubts got cleared and he put his obeisances to KaakBhushundi but KaakBhushundi told, "My dear Garuda you are Bird King and carrier of Lord Vishnu you are more superior than me."

But in reply Garuda said,"I was having doubt on God but once I reach at your place my doubt immediately got cleared so by this I can understand power of yours."

And this way Garuda told entire story to KaakBhushundi.

KaakBhushundi understand the situation and told Garuda, "This was also happen with me and you see me in the form of Crow, because I got realization in this form only that is why I wanted to stay in this body and from now onward I pray to God I never comes under illussion and keep doubt on God."

There is a very sweet pastimes of Garuda and KaakBhushundi in Sri RamCharit Manas (Uttar Kand) and if you read you must understand it's not so easy to understand God, if His own carrier Gardua get confused then what to speak of an ordinary person.

So, moral of the story is, don't try to understand God, it is not so easy to understand Him but if we keep full faith and become a pure devotee He himself reveal us.

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...
