Sri Narsimha Chaturtdashi - Appearance day of Lord Narsimha

Lord Narsimha is known for obstacles removal in the path of devotion. Today we are celebrating Sri Narsimha Chaturtdashi, He appeared in the world to protect His devotee Prahlad Mahraj from his father Hirnyakashyapu. 

Hirnyakashyapu was materially very much strong and puffed up by his power and position and trying to conquer the three world and thinking himself as an God.

But Hirnyakashyapu forgot all power and strength is given by Krishna himself like in today's world also most of the people think they are God and they can control everything but they forgot the Supreme controller is Krishna.

But Prahlad Mahraj son of Hirnyakashyapu was exactly opposite of his father and He was completely devoted to Krishna and trying to convince His father also to give up this egoistic mentality and surrender to Krishna because He is the only shelter and well wishers of all living entities.

Hirnyakashyapu got angry on hearing this suggestion from Prahlad Mahraj and he told Prahlad Mahraj, you are not my son but enemy.

Often if someone give good advice to demonic people they consider them enemy.

And Hirnyakashyapu started torturing Prahlad Mahraj by many ways but all his tricks got failed because of spiritual power of Prahlad Mahraj.

Although Prahlad Mahraj was only 5 years old but because He was spiritually very much strong seeing this Hirnyakashyapu got upset and ordered to kill Prahlad Mahraj.

And finally Lord Narsimha Dev appeared in front of Hirnyakashyapu from pillar to prove Prahlad Mahraj as Hirnyakashyapu asked is your Lord exist in piller? and in reply Prahlad Mahraj says yes. 

Lord Narsimha Dev kill Hirnyakashyapu like a small bee. 

So, we can see how Hirnyakashyapu got his power by thousands of years of austerities but Lord Narsimha Dev finished it in few seconds.

Sri Narsimha Dev ki Jai, Prahlad Mahraj ki Jai.

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.

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...
