Enjoyment Propensity gives us only pain

We all are trying to get enjoyment from any objects or person in this material world. But we forget one thing when we try to enjoy then we get caught into clutches of illusion and we get only pain rather than pleasure.

We see here from example of an fish, there are so many fishes in the river but few fishes prefer to stay in deep of the water and few fishes try to enjoy on surface of the water.

When fishes comes on the surface of the water, they feel very relaxed and enjoy jumping on the surface of the water. Very soon a fish catcher comes on bank of the river and put hook inside the water with earthworm and wait outside to catch the fish.

When fish sees earthworm she immediately attract through it and comes in the contact of it and put her mouth to grab it and she immediately trapped, fish catcher immediately pull fish outside and catch.

Here is the learning lesson to all of us, fishes floating on surface water is our enjoyment propensity and hook is illusion which attracts us to grab it but when we try to grab it we are in the clutches of illusion.

Other side we see fishes which stay in the deep water, it indicates that the person who are deeply convinced that there is not employment in this material world and always stay happy within, never comes under the clutches of illusion.

So, if we want to save our-self from clutches of illusion then we have to look happiness from our within, not from outside.

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

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
