Glorification of Lord Shiva

Today we are celebrating Maha Shivratri the auspicious occasion of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati marriage day.

There are many misconception about Lord Shiva in people. Many people thinks Lord Shiva is involved in intoxication and we as a follower of Lord Shiva also have as prasadam of Lord Shiva.

But in the Vedas it is no where mentioned Lord Shiva involved in intoxication instead He always busy in chanting the Holy names of Lord Krishna.

No one as pure as Lord Shiva when it comes as an Vaishnvas of Lord Krishna.

There are three major qualities in Lord Shiva as:

1. Compassionate: He is very compassionate towards all living entities i. e. He drunk poison from churning ocean.

2. Always busy in chanting holy name: We see Lord Shiva always keep Himself busy in chanting holy name of Lord Krishna instead of doing anything else. It shows that He has no other important task than chanting holy name.

3. Help in Devotional service: As Lord Shiva's another name is Ashutosh which means He pleased very easily and that's why He help those who go to Him for pure devotional service.

Once Mother Parvati asked Lord Shiva, what is the ultimate truth?

Lord Shiva reply to Mother Parvati, there is no other truth except chanting the Holy names of Lord Krishna.

One should understand the real qualities of Lord Shiva and follow Him, rather than in the name of Lord Shiva do anything.

Har Har Mahadev!!!

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
