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.

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
