Losing faith is the greatest loss for us

There is an old saying, if we lost money we lost nothing, if we lost health we lost something but if we lost character we lost everything. But top of it, if we lost faith then we have great lost.

Losing money, prestige, health or even life is not a great loss for us but losing faith on God is the biggest loss for us.

There is a small but real story I am going to share with all of you from which we can understand how faith works.

There was a person in village making cottage from his own hand mistakenly he caught snake in his hand and he was not aware of that and snake bite in his hand.

After sometimes when he saw, there is bleeding from his hand, he thought it must be some normal wound and he forgot and busy in some other work.

One year later when he went to repair the same cottage, he saw there is a dead snake tied with rope, suddenly he recalled that wound from his hand and thought that was not an ordinary wound but a snake bite.

While sleeping in night he was remembering that snake and thought there must be poison in my body and I am not going to live anymore now.

Next morning people gathered in front of his home and saw that person was dead and there was poison found in his body.

This is an example of losing faith, how we lose our faith and accordingly action and reaction is going to happen with us.

The same person was live and nothing happens to him for a year, but suddenly he lost his faith and his faith converted into doubt and we can see the reaction of it.

Instead of keeping faith on Krishna if we keep our faith on different-different thing then surely there will be chances to get cheated, better if we keep complete faith on Krishna and surrender unto Him.

One of the symptoms of surrender to Krishna, is to have the firm conviction that, "Krishna will protect me, I have full faith on Krishna."

But to develop the faith there are few things we have to do, association of good people (who has full faith on Krishna), reading Bhagwad Gita, hearing pasttimes of Krishna from pure devotee, eating Krishna prasadam.

Simply by doing all these things, we can develop our faith towards Krishna.

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

Depression vs Satisfaction

There are two types of people live in this world, one who live a satisfied life and one who goes into depression when something goes wrong in their life. A satisfied person can stay happy all the time in any circumstances but a person who looks for sense pleasure and thinks sense objects is going to give happiness to me always goes into depression, if he does not get pleasure from an objects or person. And the secret of satisfactions is to see opportunity in every aspects whether it is success or failure. Many of us become happy when we get success but become sad when failure comes in our life. We must remember one thing, in our life success and failure is not going to stay forever with anyone. A very successful person has to face even failure sometimes in his life. A satisfied person knows it very well, that is why he does not goes in to depression for his failure but he learn from it and move on. A very beautiful quotes by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, "Don't read success stories, yo

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.
