How to live a best life?

 In today's world everyone looking for living a best life but their efforts are completely in the wrong directions, reason they are not able to find out the reason of living a best life. To live a best life we require only two things, Happiness and Peace. In Bhagwad Gita, Lord Krishna has explained about three modes of material nature: Ignorance: person are confused,  panic, lazy and sleepy. Passion: In mode of passion people prefer to associate with opposite sex, and ambitions and greed are too much in their mind. Goodness: In mode of Goodness, Wisdom and Happiness are the primary characteristics. In mode of ignorance , person do not want to do anything but he just want everything to be ready made in his plate. That is the reason, he can never be happy. In mode of passion , person want everything to be done by me, and if someone goes ahead from him he can never tolerate it. That is the reason, he can never be happy. In mode of goodness , person want to his best, and if somethin

Three things require to focus on our Goal

 Bhagwad Gita is the first motivational message to Arjuna on the battlefield spoken by Lord Krishna. No one is capable to motivate any person who are already going through the tough situation. But in that situation also Lord Krishna motivated and prepared Arjuna to fight, where Arjuna was supposed to leave the battle field. Basically three major things required to keep focus on our Goal. In Bhagwad Gita 2.41. व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धिरेकेह कुरूनन्दन । बहुशाखा ह्यनन्ताश्च बुद्धयोऽव्यवसायिनाम् ॥ 2.41 ॥ Those who are on this path are resolute in purpose, and their aim is one. O beloved child of the Kurus, the intelligence of those who are irresolute is many-branched. In above shloka three main things are; Vyavasāya : Always keep one target  Atmikā:  Be convinced about the goal Buddhiḥ: Apply your full intelligence in it So, the person who keep one target and fully focus on it by his intelligence  can achieve the target that is for sure but the person who keep changing his goal and not fully

Untold story of Ramayana

 It is said that, "Hari anant Hari katha ananta", there are so many facts which is there in our Vedic scriptures which we even not aware of it. The one is from Ramayana. One day Maharaj Raghu was bathing in Saryu that time Ravana came and challenge to fight with him. Maharaj Raghu just took mud from bottom of water and made one symbol and washed it from his hand. He told to Ravana, go and check in Lanka and then come to fight with me. Ravana went to Lanka and saw there was one corner of his palace was damaged but in false ego he came and ask again to fight with him. Fight started and Maharaj Raghu wanted to kill Ravana by his arrow but immediately Lord Brahma appeared and stopped Maharaj Raghu not to kill him as in future there is Lord Rama going to come in your dynasty who is going to kill him. The arrow from which Maharaj Raghu kept his vow to kill Ravana,  Lord Brahma ji asked give it to me, I will take care of it because in future Ravana is going to kill by that arrow. It

Importance of Four Regulative Principles

There are four pillars upon which human society (religion) rests.  These pillars are: mercy, truthfulness, austerity and cleanliness.  1. No meat eating: Killing animals destroys the quality of mercy. One turns one's body into a graveyard by consuming dead animals. These foods are saturated with the modes of passion and ignorance and therefore cannot be offered to the Lord. A person who eats these foods participates in a conspiracy of violence against helpless animals and thus curtails his spiritual progress. 2. No gambling: Truthfulness is destroyed by gambling. This is quite obvious. Gambling turns a person into a liar, a cheat. Gambling invariably puts one into anxiety and fuels greed, envy, and anger. 3. No intoxicants:  Intoxication means no austerity. People who take help of drugs, alcohols and smoke can not tolerate the situations and they think if they take help of these things they come out of their problems. 4. No illicit sex: Cleanliness is destroyed by illicit sex. S

Happy Radhashtami to all

Tomorrow we are going to celebrate, the divine appearance day of Srimati Radharani, the eternal consort of Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead Radhashtami is a very special day for all the Gaudiya Vaishnavas, as by obtaining the mercy of Srimati Radharani one can easily achieve love of Krishna. Radha is Krishna’s dearest servant, and is His pleasure potency. Without sanction of Srimati Radharani no one can get love of Krishna. Most of the people are not evenn aware of who is Srimati Radharani? So, today I am going to give little brief about Srimati Radharani. Srimati Radharani and Krishna is same they are not different but for materialistic people it seems they are different because of they are not aware of essence. So, we must know, Srimati Radharani is internal potency of Krishna like Without Soul there is no value of body the same without Srimati Radharani there is no Krishna. Krishna and Srimati Radharani always stay together but in material world they show some true love w

Which Lifestyle you are in?

 There are two types of lifestyles, one is Vedic and another is Artificial. Let's understand the major difference in both. Most of the people are not even aware of Vedic lifestyle, even if few are aware then they hesitate to accept it due to society. Vedic life style does not mean living a rejected life and disconnected from society. Even artificial life style makes our life more complicated because most of the time we try to play dual role and we never keep our-self in original position. Vedic life style means be original what you are and accept the reality but in Artificial way of life we try to make our-self what we are not. In Vedic life civilization we give preference to Gold, Cow Products, Agriculture and respect each others. But in artificial way of life, we give preferences to Electronic gadgets, Media, things made of plastic and we always try to keep our-self in center. If you want to see our Vedic life, how rich we were, you can go and check in Delhi red fort and see ther

Wish you all a very happy Ganesha Chaturthi

God, Devotee and Devotion these three things are eternal. It can never change but as per time and circumstances service method can be different. The main factor is our devotion, other things does not matter so much. For example, the way of worship in Foreign Country than India is completely different but that does not mean we should underestimate their devotion. But what is happening in India now is completely against the Vedic worship and devotion. In the name of Ganesha Festival people are getting drunken, playing loud vulgar music, gamble. People are putting big photos of their own and keeping Lord Ganesha in a corner. Even we see most of the people are designing altar in which Lord Ganesha keeps peacock feather on his head, keeping bat in his hand, making pose of Lord Shiva (his own father). But in the scriptures,  Lord Ganesha has big stomach, rope in his hand, keeping smile face, wore red cloth and rat is his vehicle. And we know him an obstacle removal which benediction He recei

Why four stages of life is important?

 The four stages of life, mainly for the men of the household are as; Brahmacarya Grihastha Vanaprastha Sanyasa These four stages are very much important for us to maintain the society. But in this age we are going away for these four stages system and because of this we are facing so much issues in our life. Actually these system has not been made by any ordinary person but Lord Krishna himself. And if we don't follow it we will make our life miserable. Here are the importance Srila Prabhupada explaining it in Srimad Bhawatam 1.15.39.  If we try to understand and implement in our life, we really make our life happy and blissful. The system of four orders of life and four castes in terms of quality and work, known as varṇāśrama-dharma, is the beginning of real human life, and Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, as the protector of this system of human activities, timely retired from active life as a sannyāsī, handing over the charge of the administration to a trained prince, Mahārāja Parīkṣit. 

Material World always gives less but takes more

In this world people think I am the only genius who always deal smartly, but this material world is smarter than us. I met one young guy, he recently finished his study and got job in big corporate organization.  He seems so much happy and planing for his better future.  I just had introduction with him and asked, "You seems so much happy,  you must have achieved something what you have wished for, right?' Smilingly he replied and said, "Yes I got an opportunity to work in big organization and better package. That is why I am so much happy." I asked him, "Do you have any idea about corporate life and big organization?" He simply replied, "No, I am just going to it." I simply told him, The grass is always greener on the other side. This material world is always takes more from you and gives less to you. But we think we are in benefit that is called illusion. He simply asked me, "How can you say this, I have good job, better salary then obvious

Are we really getting right education?

 This is not an imaginary or scripted story but a real story what I am going to share you today. After my long time observation I found, Is this the education we need for our new generation? One mother who just not bothered about her own hunger and health but always worried about her two sons, how she could manage foods for them. After so much struggle and sleepless night she managed for their education and finally they got good job. Now, the story begins from here. After getting the job they tried to settle down in city and trying to send some sort of money to their parent. Few years later mother is now unable to walk from her own, and no one is caring for her. She is hoping now even her sons will come one day and ask for her health but they are so much busy in their corporate meetings, family celebrations, maintain society where they have time to come ask her mother, how she is? As per our Vedic scripture it's not just the responsibility but our prime duty to care of our parent.

Steady Devotion is the secret of my Energy

Yesterday we were celebrating H. H Gopal Krishna  Goswami Maharaj Ji 76th Vyas puja offering.  At the age of 76 Maharaj Ji still full of determination and enthusiastic about preaching Krishna consciousness all over the world. Mahraj Ji always keep Himself busy, in His daily schedule at least He make 4-5 national and international trip in a month. And the most surprising things is He has never missed His morning temple program since last 40 years. Whether He reach at 2.30 a. m but still He wake up at 4 to attend morning program. H.G. Gauranga Prabhuji, president of GEV asked about what is the secret of your energy? Mahraj Ji simply replied, I try to maintain my devotional service nicely and chanting is always  my first priority and reading of scriptures makes me all time energetic. Being a responsible member of GBC committee and managing more than ten thousand disciples all over the world is not a simple task but just because He is fully absorbed in Krishna Consciouseness He does it ver

The real Independence

Wish you all a very happy Independence day. But are we really Independent from electronic gadgets, media, intoxication?   The ratio of Indian Youth to keep themselves busy on cell phone is highest. And they don't know the impact of it on their mind.  They are going away from real world and going to imaginary world.  They have thousands of follower on Facebook but none to talk to them personally and deal with them emotionally. There are so many whats app groups and daily motivational quotes but they don't have real guide in their life. There are so many videos on YouTube for tips and tricks but still they are confused and going into depression. There are so many scriptures to read and take guidance from it but still they have made cricketers and actors ideal in their life and keep busy reading vulgar literature. So, let's keep resolution in this Independence day to keep yourself free from all these. Join our live session tomorrow on zoom @4:30 p.m. and let's know the sec

Srila Prabhupada and His Seven Purposes to establish ISKCON

Today we are celebrating appearance day of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada.  Srila Prabhupada went to western countries to spread the Krishna Conscious movement all across the world. Where people not even heard about the name of Lord Rama and Krishna but by the association of a pure devotee Srila Prabhupada they became Vaishnava and completely detached from their bad habits. Srila Prabhupada did nothing but simply repeated the message of His Guru His Divine Grace Bhakti Sidhdhanta Sarswati Thakura and words of vedic scriptures i.e. Srimad Bhagwatam, Ramayana and Bhagwad Gita. His teaching was purely based on Vedic Scriptures and thus people accepted it very easily. He established Iskcon (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) in 1966 with seven explicit purposes: 1. To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all people in the techniques of spiritual life in order to check the imbalance of values in life and to

Wish you all a very happy Krishna Janmashtmi

We are going to celebrate Krishna Janmashtmi the appearance day of Lord Krishna. Most of the people get confused about birth and activities of Lord Krishna. That is not even surprising because only intelligent people who has done pious activities in their past life only that person can understand Krishna. बहूनां जन्मनामन्ते ज्ञानवान्मां प्रपद्यते । वासुदेव: सर्वमिति स महात्मा सुदुर्लभ: ॥7.19॥ After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare. The main purpose to appear Krishna in this material world is not to kill only demons but to establish religious principle and destroy demonic activities. यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत । अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥4.7॥ Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion – at that time I descend Myself. But those activities can be done v

Depression vs Satisfaction

There are two types of people live in this world, one who live a satisfied life and one who goes into depression when something goes wrong in their life. A satisfied person can stay happy all the time in any circumstances but a person who looks for sense pleasure and thinks sense objects is going to give happiness to me always goes into depression, if he does not get pleasure from an objects or person. And the secret of satisfactions is to see opportunity in every aspects whether it is success or failure. Many of us become happy when we get success but become sad when failure comes in our life. We must remember one thing, in our life success and failure is not going to stay forever with anyone. A very successful person has to face even failure sometimes in his life. A satisfied person knows it very well, that is why he does not goes in to depression for his failure but he learn from it and move on. A very beautiful quotes by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, "Don't read success stories, yo

Best wishes to everyone for establishment of Ram Rajya

First of all I would like to wish our hon'able PM Sri Narendra Modi Ji and Uttar Pradesh CM Sri Yogi Aditya Nath Ji. From their great efforts the most awaited mission comes true.  We heartly congratulates for this great achievements which is only possible because of their devotion and hard work.  Lord Rama was awaiting for the good time and person who has kind heart with everyone and devotion towards Him. So He gave chance to Modi ji and Yogi ji. Actually Lord Rama could have easily done this task before that but He wanted to show the people who were opposing. Actually Lord made us an instrument to fullfill his own desires. In Bhagwad Gita Lord Krishna chose Arjuna to kill entire Kaurva armies, actually Arjuna did nothing but just followed Lord Krishna's order.  Finally when Lord shows His universal form in front of Arjuna and all soldiers are going into the mouth of Krishna.  Lord Krishna reveal the fact to Arjuna,"My dear Arjuna actully I have alreay killed everyone,  bu

In our Vedic civilization every festival has deep meaning and emotional bonding.  Raksha Bandhan the festival where a sister tie a not to his beloved brother and brother give assurance for security of his sister.  Today we are also celebrating appearance day of Lord Balrama. Lord Balarama is none other than Krishna's direct expansion. His only mission is to please Krishna by rendering service to Him, whether it is in the creation of the material worlds, maintaining the spiritual world or as His personal paraphernalia. Lord Balarama is the eternal companion of Sri Krishna. He came as Lakshmana with Rama and later as Nityananda Prabhu with Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He is the original spiritual master, and any one desiring to make spiritual progress must first get the mercy of Lord Balarama. Directly we cant approach Krishna, only through Balaram we can approach supreme lord Krishna. Spiritual master represents the true

Secure your tomorrow along with today

We plan early savings, child education, family security,  retirement and many more in our life when we come to our consciousness. Yes, of course all these plannings are important but the most important planing is to prepare for our next life. Do, we have enough preparation and plan for our next life? Because whatever planing we are doing now is only applicable for this birth and nothing goes after this life. Most of the people live in denial situation i.e. who has seen the next life? Eat, sleep and enjoy that is the only life and this is the only life where we all can do. But as per our Vedic scriptures and even from Bhagwad Gita chapter 2.27, it has been proved that there is life after death. जातस्य हि ध्रुवो मृत्युर्ध्रुवं जन्म मृतस्य च । तस्मादपरिहार्येऽर्थे न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि ॥ 2.27 ॥ One has to take birth according to one’s activities of life. And after finishing one term of activities, one has to die to take birth for the next.  In this way one is going through one cycle of birt
