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!!!

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
