True ego vs False ego

There are two types ego one is true and another is false. Most of the people live in false ego, they think I have power, position, knowledge and fame.

But the true ego is to know the real identity, who am I? what is my real position and what I have to do in this world?

False ego always keeps a person in dark side but true ego keeps a person in knowledge. A true egositic person knows, whatever happens there is a cause behind everything and Krishna is the cause of all causes.

If we take example of Ravana the demon king who was so powerful even heavenly planets were under his control.

But he had false ego, he forgot his real identity. And that is normal when people get name, fame, power and position they puffed up and think they are God.

Ravana was thinking himself as a controller of whole universe. But he forgot he can not be the controller because Lord Krishna is the supreme controller and we all are under His control.

And finally Lord Rama killed him very easily. No power and wealth saved him.

Now if we talk about true ego, when Hanuman ji entered in Lanka alone and threatened Ravana and burned whole Lanka.

Ravana was suprised to know how a monkey can do this very easily? as Lanka was fully protected by demons not even a bird can fly without their order. It was not possible in dream also. Ravana got to know, it's not a an ordinary monkey.

And when Ravana asked Hanuman Ji, who are you? you seems monkey but what is your real identity?

Hanuman Ji replied to Ravana, " I am servant of Lord Rama".

And if you accept Lord Rama as your master, He can forgive you also.

But just because of false ego Ravana never accepted Lord Rama as supreme controller.

Let's this Dusehra festival burn our false ego and reveal our true ego and that is, we all are servant of Lord and our position is to please him then only we can be happy.

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
