The Grass looks greener on the other Side

When we start growing our mind start comparing from others, what others have and we don't have. From the Childhood to old age we wish to have things what we don't have but we forgot to value those things which we have but others don't have.

We all are individual and God has gifted every individual with unique potency and that is why every one has some unique gift provided by the God.

But in the modern education and culture, we always prefer what others have, whether it is beneficial or not does not matter.

We should remember what God has given us is perfect and very much suitable for us, but if we try to alter it as per our own will and wish we will have to face more trouble in our life.

In Srimad Bhagwatam there is a story of King Chitraketu who was a great and pious king but he was very much upset from his life as he was having no son although from many wives.

He asked boon from a great sage to have son but in reply sage told, you will get your son but the same son give you pleasure and pain both.

King Chitraketu thought, still I am suffering, what more suffering I  would get from my son.

When King Chitraketu got son, others queens started feeling jeleous and they mixed poison in milk and kill the son of King Chitraketu.

Hearing this King Chitraketu got mad and then great sage Narada appeared and told King Chitraketu to calm down.

So, here we can see a person has his own life he has nothing to do with others life when it comes to comparisons. One has to be happy what he has received in his life as an gift of God, otherwise we are always in benefit as we have not brought anything. 

Hare Krishna!!!

Learning Lessons from Mother Sumitra

In this world mother and child relationship is above all the relations. The foremost responsibility of a mother is to place her child in a proper Krishna Consciousness environment by which he/she becomes pure devotee of the Lord. Often mothers blame for their children, they are not behaving well and they don't respect them at all but the reason behind this is how much we are doing for them. Being a parent means to sacrifice for children. In modern age mother has no time to care of her children and think they can give all kinds of facilities by just giving money. And when the child grows up and by the time he/she do not get the association of mother and teachings they become free to do what they want to do. Mother means to care for her children what they need and give love and teach them how to love and respect others. And if we think we just send our children to schools/colleges and they will be perfect in all so they cannot. Its the duty of the mother to give valuable time ...

Laxmana - The Hidden Hero of Ramayana

In our previous post we have already mentioned Ramayna is not an ordinary story but a complete learning lesson from each & every characters. Laxmana is one of the character of Ramayana, who was completely hide himself to glorify from others, and away from honor and dishonor. Laxmana teaches us how to maintain character, competency, selfless service, and equal in both the situation either you are praised or you are abused. If you have fixed your aim, then there is no question of disturbance what people say to you.

Laxmana took vow, he will not sleep for four...

TIT for TAT OR Tolerate That

Many of the times we go through situations where we get confused what to do now? According to our Vedic Scriptures we should keep three things in our mind and accordingly react or respond on situations. If you can change it: Situations comes in your life or brought by some people and you know if it is completely against our religious principle, then you must stand against it and try to change the situations. When Hauman Ji reached in Lanka and Lankini the guard of Lanka tried to stop Him and because it was against the religious principle as his own master kidnapped others wife, Hanuman Ji punched on her mouth by His left hand and move on. Same way if you have power and know things are going against Dharma, you should change the situations else you have to suffer sinful reactions of it. If you can not change it: Sometimes situations are completely against us and we are not even able to change it then that time we must accept the situation and try to tolerate it.  You don't believe...
