Learn to live life not for pleasure but for the right purpose

There was a student he always used to think if I get this I can enjoy my life. And he started his life towards pleasure & started dealing with everything and everyone for the same reason.

He went abroad for higher study & thought, once he get the higher degree his life will me more joyful.

He achieved his degree and got a good job, but his life even feel lack of something and there is no permanent pleasure what was looking for since long time.

Finally he married with a young girl thinking she might help to make his life more beautiful. But after sometime they started fighting with each others and he made his life more painful.

This is the story of all of us, we all are expecting pleasure in our life from something or someone, but unfortunately we don't know the reality that life is not meant for pleasure but for the right purpose.

If we have right purpose in our life although we feel lack of something we can live a very happy and peaceful life. But if we only concern about our own pleasure then definitely we have not understood the real meaning of life.

In Srimad Bhagwatam King Parikshit was cursed by Rishi Shringi, he will die by snake within 7 days. Even Parikshit Maharaj got to know this thing but he did not do anything to protect himself.

Although he was capable to do everything to protect himself. But he was not living his life for pleasure but for right purpose and somehow he got right purpose to live his seven days for service of Krishna.

And everyone knows about Parikshit Mahraja, the great personality whom we still remember for his great achievement and right purpose to hear Srimad Bhagwatam from Srila Shukdev Gowswami.

In our life also, we must see right purpose not pleasure. And our right purpose is to know Krishna to make our life successful at end.

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
