Four types of people take shelter of Krishna

In this world people take shelter to many authority but who is little intelligent and understand the real process of shelter take shelter of Lord Krishna as Lord Krishna has already stated in Bhagwad Gita:

चतुर्विधा भजन्ते मां जना: सुकृतिनोऽर्जुन ।

आर्तो जिज्ञासुरर्थार्थी ज्ञानी च भरतर्षभ ॥ 7.16 ॥

O best among the Bhāratas, four kinds of pious men begin to render devotional service unto Me – the distressed, the desire of wealth, the inquisitive, and he who is searching for knowledge of the Absolute.

These four types of people are:

Distressed: Who are in trouble and thinks no one can help them to get out of that situation take shelter of Krishna. For example when Draupadi saw Pandavas are unable to help her from being harassed by Dusashan she immediately took shelter of Lord Krishna.

Desirer: Who need some material benefits, When Dhruva Maharaja got insult from her mother, he desires to achieve more than wealth from Lord Brahma and went to forest for penance. He ruled for 36, 000 years on earth and got his own abode Dhruva loka.

Inquisitive: Who want to get esquire about the true knowledge from the real source (authorized master). In Namisharana when 88, 000 sages gathered together they wanted to enquire about the Lord and they accepted Suta Gowswami as their master.

Absolute Truth: Who want to know the absolute truth, when King Parikshit got cursed by Rishi Shringi, he will die within seven days by snake bite. He did not worry about his life but he immediately went to search for absolute truth and by the mercy of Lord he met Shukdeva Goswami.

So, here we can see these are the category who take shelter of Krishna, so whatever category we fit in we must take shelter of Krishna instead of taking anywhere else. Because Krishna can only give us the assurance to protect from all the miseries.

Hare Krishna.

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
