Devotional service is not waste of time!

One person asked me, "why you people get up early and do prayers for so long time and chant your rounds, it is not so much time consuming process, instead why not you people do some productive work?"

These type of thought process may come to anyone who think, doing spiritual work is just a waste of time nothing else.

But in Bhagwad Gita Lord Krishna has already declared about, if someone does little of devotions towards Krishna it can protect us from biggest danger;

नेहाभिक्रमनाशोऽस्ति प्रत्यवायो न विद्यते ।

स्वल्पमप्यस्य धर्मस्य त्रायते महतो भयात् ॥ 2.40 ॥

In this endeavor there is no loss or diminution, and a little advancement on this path can protect one from the most dangerous type of fear.

Many people goes to watch movies, shopping, picnics and waste so much time for doing nothing. But they don't give excuses for that task why they waste their time as, if simply we calculate a normal human being waste his more than 50 percent of time in doing nothing.

But devotional service is not waste of time rather than it gives us strength, peace and motivation towards right direction.

Most of the people are all time frustrate and seems in very much tension is just because of they don't have devotion in their life.

Srila Prabhupada used to say, if a person become Krishna Conscious then all other qualities automatically developed.

The process of devotional service is very scientific;

Waking up early (develop a good habit)

Doing chanting (meditation and mind control)

Eating prasadam (Satvik food) 

Association of devotees (good association)

Reading scriptures (makes intelligence strong) and many more benefits.

So, if you become a devotee means you don't have to do anything extra.

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
