Control your emotions while taking the decision

Sometimes it is seen, people take decision in emotion and later they realize they make a huge mistake but that can never be rectified again. In Srimad Bhagwatam canto 1 chapter 18 there is the story of King Parikshit and Shringi Rishi, who cursed King Parikshit.

When King Parikshit reached in cottage of sage Shamika he was feeling hungry and thirsty asked for water from sage Shamika but sage was in deep meditation and unable to hear king.

King though he is not giving me proper hospitality and due to thirst he kept dead snake on sage neck.

When Rishi Shringi son of Shamika heard this, he was playing with his friends and thought I must punish that king and emotionally to impress his friends he cursed king to dead within 7 days by snake bite.

But when he reached to his father he started crying for his own mistake, what I did was just to impress my friends and emotionally I made a big mistake, but now I can not rectify it.

Even his own father pointed for his mistake, how could you do this, as a King if he did so, that was not the cost of punishment you gave him because they protect us.

The same thing happen with all of us, without knowing the real cause of the problem emotionally we take decision and later we have not control over it.

People and situation makes us excited but that is the time we have to test our capability, how much do we have control over our emotions. Don't let others know what is going inside you, later think of it what can be the best for me not immediately. Because immediately due to emotion we can never take the right decision.

God has given us the intelligence and ability to think and if we think we are not capable to take decision better we go and ask that person whom we think can guide us with the help of Guru, Sadhu and Shashtra.

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
