How can we feel gratitude everyday?

There was one student who was going for his exam, he woke up in the morning, his mother cooked food for him, his father guided him how to write exam and he caught bus to reach at exam center.

He reached in his exam room with the help of local authority and written his exam.

The day came when his exam result got declared, he got first in his class. He felt very happy his teacher asked him tell me about your success, how did you achieve this?

Boy stood up and started telling, my success story starts from God, I thanks to GOD for giving me such a nice gift, later I thanks to my mother who cooked for me with love and emotions, so I could concentrate in my exam, then I thanks to my father who guided me well to not to fearful in exam, and I thanks to Bus driver who helped me to reach on time for exam, later I thanks to the person who helped me to reach in exam hall, so I could feel myself relaxed. Finally I thanks to everyone including you, who helped me a lot for this great success.

This is a simple but very lesson learning story for us, In Ramayana Lord Rama says people who do not fell gratitude towards others and take all credits will surely a very miserable person.

That boy could have simply said, I am the only owner of this success but he know it there is many more people are who have given support for this success.

In our life most of the times we think, we are the only owner of my success and everything belongs to me and it makes us egoistic. But if we think of from our cool mind, our success credit goes to many people, without others help I would never have been reached to that level.

Lord Rama was none other than Supreme Personality of Godhead, He could have killed Ravana very easily but He gave all credits and gratitude towards monkey armies even he felt gratitude towards a tiny squirrel also.

So being humble and feeling gratitude towards other makes us free from false ego.

Whoever we are, whatever we are, wherever we are, if simply pay gratitude towards others then we can attain a very successful life.

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
