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 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
