Want to know your biggest enemy?

In this world people may think, my boss is my biggest enemy, my neighbor is my biggest enemy, person who don't follow my order is my biggest enemy or opposite country is my biggest enemy.

But in Bhagwad Gita Lord Krishna says to Arjuna, My dear Arjuna there are no enemies outside, but it is inside us and explain the biggest enemy to Arjuna in the form of Lust.

In Bhagwad Gita 3.37, Lord Krishna says;

श्री भगवानुवाच

काम एष क्रोध एष रजोगुणसमुद्भ‍वः ।

महाशनो महापाप्मा विद्ध्येनमिह वैरिणम् ॥ 3.37 ॥

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: It is lust only, Arjuna, which is born of contact with the material mode of passion and later transformed into wrath, and which is the all-devouring sinful enemy of this world.

And now the question is what is lust? Lust can be any form i.e. unwanted sense gratification, sense pleasing object, unwanted desires and many more things.

It comes through when we comes under the mode of passion. In the modes of passion lust increases more, that is why Lord Krishna says in Bhagwad Gita one should try to fixed in mode of goodness or beyond.

Lust comes from our past deeds or when we try to fulfill requirements of our uncontrolled mind. And the same lust makes us miserable when we failed to fulfill.

Lust is like a black hole, once we entered into it we are gone. It's the first gate to hell, as Lord Krishna says in Bhagwad Gita, Lust, Anger and Greed are three gates to hell.

So, recognize the biggest enemy and try to kill this. And this can be killed by only when we engage our-self in service of God and hear pastimes of God.

Please feel free to share your feedback/comments.

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
