Never puffed up with pride

Often we puffed up by false ego in influence of illusion and start thinking I am on top of all. But our Vedic scriptures are full of these types of people who thought, I am the one who control the world but they are no more now.

We have to be enough intelligent to say no to Maya because Maya is so powerful, sometimes it just give you very attractive way to get into the trap of it.

Here is the story of one young boy, who earned name, fame and wealth in very early age (around 26 years) and thought, why should I be under control of anyone, I have enough money I can take my own decision what to do and what not to do?

In the influence of false ego and pride, he started rejecting good advice from his relative and friends and got into bad association.

He was not aware even what he is doing, he started taking alcohols and when he visit any hotel or restaurant he never took amount back he always used to say, keep the change with you.

Slowly-slowly time comes in his life, when he lost everything and now when he goes to the same hotel and ask for foods, gate keeper through him out.

Now he has lost everything,his money,  wealth and fame and realizing the power of illusion.

Remember that, whatever we have in the form of name, fame, wealth and beauty it's all gift of God and in return we must use it in service of God else it will only give us the pain and going to spoil our life.

Even Lord Krishna has already stated in Bhagwad Gita about the illusion and its power, we can very easily trapped by illusion if we are not in shelter of Lord Krishna.

दैवी ह्येषा गुणमयी मम माया दुरत्यया ।

मामेव ये प्रपद्यन्ते मायामेतां तरन्ति ते ॥ 7.14॥

This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it.

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
