Children and devotion

There is no doubt about today's culture and discipline which we are giving to our children in the name of so called education is going to create a big havoc in our life.

Yesterday I was traveling in train and saw there was one lady (professional/working) she entered into compartment and adjusted her seat. 

After some time she started using her phone and her 12 years old son also kept himself busy in mobile games.

It's almost more than 6 hour they didn't speak even a single words to each other and continue in phone.

I was thinking what type of responsibility this professional mother has towards her son,  even she didn't ask for foods and forget about any talk.

That's why most of the child don't know how to treat with their parents, because we don't have time to teach them. 

And what we expect in return from them is,  they should follow our orders and understand what we expect from them,  but we forgot before we have to fulfill their expectations what they need from us. 

They don't need anything more from us but just our attention and quality time, I know from Monday to Friday we are so busy but at least when we have time we should keep our phones and gadgets away and deal with them personally. 

And for whom we are doing so much hard work and accumulating so much wealth? We must ask this question from ourselves. Will that wealth give them real peace and happiness?

In this world before us so many people tried this philosophy and wanted their kids to enjoy their lives but unfortunately they made their life more miserable from that wealth.

Our real wealth is to give them the knowledge of human form of life, how can they utilize it for better cause else they will only be busy in eating, sleeping, mating and defending and we all know this type of life is easily available for dogs and hogs.

If we don't involve them in devotional activities in the form of human they will be only machines.

Please feel free to share your feedback/comments.

Hare Krishna 🙏

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
