Happy Balrama Jayanthi and Raksha Bandhan

Today the most auspicious day Sri Balrama Jayanthi and Raksha Bandhan. 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 representation of Balaram. Thus by following the instructions of spiritual master and by pleasing him we can get the grace of Krishna.

I share one pastimes of Lord Balrama, where we can understand the strength of Balarama Ji.

Once Samba,  Lord Krishna's son born with Jambavati kidnapped Duryodhana's daughter Laxmana. Because Sāmba took Lakṣmaṇā away from the assembly by force, all the members of the Kuru dynasty, namely, Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Bhīṣma, Vidura, Ujahan and Arjuna, thought it an insult to their family tradition that the boy, Sāmba, could possibly have kidnapped their daughter.

Duryodhana with his armies caught Samba, even Samba was so powerful even ten soldiers failed to catch him. Finally Lord Balrama came  with marriage proposal for Samba but due to false pride Duryodhana rejected and insulted Balrama Ji.

In anger Balrama ji pulled Hastinapur with His plow and try to throw in river Ganges from His mystic power, at last everyone started praising to Lord Balarama and then finally He calm down.

Hastinapur where it is now is not at its actual position but it is dragged by Balrama Ji from its original position.

We pray to Lord Balrama to shower His mercy upon us to get Krishna's love and devotion.

Happy Balrama Jayanthi, Happy Raksha Bandhan.

Nectar in the beginning but Poison in end

He was young and belonging from rich family, he entered into the compartment and seated next to me.  Long and stylist hair, branded watch on wrist, iPhone in hand but he was loosing his control. Started abusing someone on phone and shouting out very louder, people was looking at him.  He was fully drunken and started vomiting, people thrown out him out of train and he slayed down at platform. Story is not over yet, I was thinking is this our modern education we are providing to our children and in the name of facilities we are giving them huge money, branded gadgets, but being an guarding do we ever try to esquire what they do and, which type of association they keep?  Once these things comes in their hands they start thinking, no one is greater than me and due to false ego they disrespect elder people.  But one thing they forget, disrespecting elder people only harmful to them because elderly people only teach them morality and good lesson. And being an elder person...

How to Live a balanced Life

Until and unless we do not keep our life balanced we cannot live a happy life. Yesterday I met one of my office friend after a long time. I was talking with him and asked about what is going on in his life, in reply he said as usual nothing new. He started telling me his entire story, how his focus was only to earn money and now he has sufficient money, but now he is looking for suitable partner and he is unable to find it. He was looking little worried and he asked me what to do now? I said look my friend, "Everything in life needs balanced, if you keep only focus on one side then definitely other side will be disturbed."  But whatever happened just let it be, but from now onwards you can start from a new beginning. I told him,  now you have enough money and you can take off from work and go with your family somewhere, where you can be with them and they can also understand your needs and tell them everything this way there will be some solutions for it.
