Our Speech Reflects our Consciousness

The whole world connected to us based on our communication with each others. How we communicate with others that prove our own consciousness, it is said that, "A foolish person is not known till the time he open his mouth."

Basically we start speaking at very early age but we spend our whole life to learn, how to speak?

In Bhagwad Gita Lord Krishna has given us, how to speak in Chapter 17.15.

अनुद्वेगकरं वाक्यं सत्यं प्रियहितं च यत् ।

स्वाध्यायाभ्यसनं चैव वाङ्‍मयं तप उच्यते ॥ 17.15 ॥

Austerity of speech consists in speaking words that are truthful, pleasing, beneficial, and not agitating to others, and also in regularly reciting Vedic literature.

So, in the above shloka Lord Krishna gives us 5 major things to remember before we speak, if we follow this 5 principles in our life then surely we never break our relationship.

Truthfulness: Whatever we speak, we must speak truth at any cost. As we know, to hide one lie we have to speak more than hundreds lie. And if a person is liar, no one can keep trust on him.

Pleasing: Speaking is an art and it comes through good association, our speech shows what type of association we keep. So, while speaking we must remember that words should be pleasing to others.

Beneficial: Most of the people just think of their own benefits and speak accordingly. But while speaking we must keep in mind, it should also beneficial to others, otherwise no one will entertain you long time.

Agitating: We should never speak such a way people get agitated. Most of the problems in the world arises just because of we don't care while speaking with others and we agitate others from our words.

Based on Vedic Scriptures: We must speak based on our Vedic scriptures that is our ultimate base. We should never speak anything baseless. Most of the people speak so much but their conclusion is zero, just because it is not based on our Vedic scriptures.

I hope if we follow these in our life then definitely it is going to help us to maintain our personal as well professional relations.

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
