God doesn't need our money

Most of the people complain regarding building big-big temples, celebrating big festivals on Lord, asking donation from people on auspicious occasion of Janmashtmi, Sri Rama Navmi etc.

They claim, why God need money, we can simply just pray from our heart nothing to with money to worship God.

But the same time if they have to go for a movie, to watch sports or go for a big mall for shopping and spent lots of money and charged too much but without even thinking of much they pay it very easy.

I simply narrated one story of a child and his son. There was a father and his small son, one day when his father come from his work and sit with his son.

Son told his father, my dear father I want to give you some money, please keep it with you it will help you in future.

His father smiled on his son for his childish behavior but accepted his coin and took him in his lap.

Father knows it very well, this coin given by his son is given by him only but for his son's love and affection he accepted it and loved his son so much for his care towards him.

The same way, what can we give to God?, He has only given to us everything, the power, strength, fame, beauty and knowledge only we can do is if we can just return something for His service like a lovable son, then it will be only beneficial to us.

Lord Krishna has all 6 oppulances

1. Beauty 2. Knowledge 3. Strength 4. Wealth 5. Fame 6. Renunciation

Krisna does not need anything from us that's true, but the same time if we do not use in the service of Krishna whatever we have it will only creates problems for us.

That is the reason, whatever we have, we should utilize it in the service of Krishna. Krishna's one name is Husband of fortune (Laxmi Pati), the same Laxmi who gives us the money.

So we can simply think, the person who has his wife as Laxmi, need money from us?

One should never think like If I will give charity then only things will work because God also need our money.

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
