Vedic Siksha

There was a young boy who was good for nothing and people and sociey were rejected him. One day when he woke up and saw a small bird is picking thin grass of blade and trying to build nest for her. When the young boy saw, he scratched his head and thought how is that possible a tiny bird picking a thin grass of blade build a nest? He woke up and went towards forest, he saw a saint was sitting under the tree and relaxing. Boy reached and offered his obeisances towards that Saint. He asked to that Saint, how is it possible a tiny birds makes a beautiful nest by just picking a small thin grass of blades? Saint smiled and told to young boy, My dear child, that tiny bird has taken a small step and one day she will create a nice nest for her. In our life we always worried about seeing big challenges and think we can not do that, it is out of our control but if we take a Stupid Small Step like that tiny bird took we must achieve a great success. Our problem is, we always dream big and try to

People now a days forgot our basic etiquette which we were used to follow in our old days. We are getting modern day by day and forgetting our own culture which were taught by parent in old days. One things required while copying others, and that is intelligence. We copied foreign culture but didn't apply our intelligence what to copy from them? In their culture their is no such things called etiquette, they calculate everything just by their own need. If their requirement got fulfilled you are nothing for them. But in our culture, we see from our Vedic Scriptures there are so many people who had sacrificed their life for others without any condition. We can repay our gratitude towards others in following way: 1. By Sweet Words: If we don't have anything to give that person then one thing we must have is our sweet words. If simply we say, thanks to that person for his help he will be pleased by our sweet words. 2.By showing Gratitude: If a person has done something for you in

There are three types of people in this world in working areas, one who does its work with efficiency and effectively,  second who just try to finish their work any how and the last who doesn't care about the work till it cross its dead line & some one else tell him. Starting the work is not the work done,  doing the work is also not the work done till the time we do our work without any errors and within the time period. Now the question is, how can we manage our work at work place or how can we focus on our study where there are so much distractions in the form of electronic gadgets, gossips. uncontrolled mind and many more things? It is normal for everyone even Arjuna also had to face the same distractions in the battle field but one plus point was with Arjuna was, Lord Krishna was along with him. And Lord Krishna told Bhagwad Gita, a lesson which has full management, leadership, balancing material and spiritual life and many more. After hearing Bhagwad Gita, Arjuna's mi

As we know from our Vedic Scriptures there are 8.4 million species and humans are the top on all. But the same way, it is also mentioned in Srimad Bhagwatam if in human form live which is very precious in all and live like animals only do for kind of activities i.e. eating, sleeping, mating and defending then where we are intelligent than other living entities? In Srimad Bhagwatam 2.3.18, it is mentioned: तरव: किं न जीवन्ति भस्त्रा: किं न श्वसन्त्युत । न खादन्ति न मेहन्ति किं ग्रामे पशवोऽपरे ॥ 2.3.18 ॥ Do the trees not live? Do the bellows of the blacksmith not breathe? All around us, do the beasts not eat and discharge semen? Modern Civilizations  are think of only four things (Eating, Sleeping, Mating & Defending), they have no information of next life. They only think, this is the only life, enjoy how much we can enjoy. From morning to night, people only think of their enjoyment, what best can I eat? How comfortable can I sleep? How best can I met with my partner? and How best c

There was a time when Bill Gates was not the richest person (after he was the top richest person on the earth, but now he is on 4th position now). Once he was on airport, he bought newspaper from vendor and gave 100 dollar to him. Vendor told Bill Gates, I don't have change now,  you can give me later. Same incident took place after few days later, Bill Gates took news paper and gave 100 dollar and Vendor told, I don't have change now,  you can give me later. After decades when Bill Gates became famous and counted on the top richest personality, went to the same Vendor and started giving him dollar and asked to Vendor, Do you recognize me, I took two news papers and gave dollar 100 and you told me, I don't have change. The person asked to Bill Gates, now you become very popular what is the use of taking money from you. Vendor smiled and told Bill Gates, "Don't worry, forget about that money ." Bill Gates was surprised by honesty and satisfaction from that Vend

Often we see people try to grab each and everything what they want in their life, but at some point of time they don't feel happy even accumulating all those things which they wanted in their life. And the same time we see people who are living a very simple but always try to serve others are very happy and mentally satisfied in their life. So, what is the difference in both? The major difference is, one is trying to take everything in his life from others and other is trying to give others what he has in his life. Even, scientist has proved. When a person try to give something to someone he release some chemical through his brain which gives mental peace to him. In Srimad Bhagwatam (2.3.17), it is clearly mentioned about our life if we do not utilized for good cause. आयुर्हरति वै पुंसामुद्यन्नस्तं च यन्नसौ । तस्यर्ते यत्क्षणो नीत उत्तमश्लोकवार्तया ॥ 2.3.17 ॥ Both by rising and by setting, the sun decreases the duration of life of everyone, except one who utilizes the time by discu

As we all know children are the foundation of our nation. If we nourish our children with proper Love, Attention & Care, they will make our nation proud. But now situations are completely changed, children are getting more rigid,  irritating and becoming liar day by day. Result, they disrespect elders, do not focus on their study, indulge into bad habits. We can not blame to our children, somehow or others we are also responsible somewhere. Children are like pure water, if we dissolve any color into it, it will be like same color.  Children learn by copying elders, as Lord Krishna says in Bhagwad Gita 3.21. यद्यदाचरति श्रेष्ठस्तत्तदेवेतरो जनः । स यत्प्रमाणं कुरुते लोकस्तदनुवर्तते ॥ 3.21॥ Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. And whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues. So, it is our prime duty, we should not act in such a way which makes impact on our children. And the same time, we should involve our children in such activity where th

The whole world are under the control of three modes.  Sometimes these modes makes us happy and sometimes makes us miserable. Under the influence of these modes we work but we think, we are the doer. We think from our own intelligence we can cross these three modes of material nature, which is impossible. Until and unless we go beyond these material nature, we can never be happy. But we need higher intelligence to go beyond the three modes of material nature. And that higher intelligence is Krishna Consciousness. Here we are going to see how can we go beyond three modes of material nature. Krishna is above all - We become fearful when we think we are on top of everything and there is no one beyond us.  But when we take shelter of Krishna, we feel relax there is Krishna above me and He  is the ultimate solution for everything. We must Seek help from Krishna. Because Krishna is sitting in everyone's heart and when we seek help from Krishna, Krishna immediately come to help us. Other

We all are suffering from this pandemic situation of Covid-19,  dozens of people are dying and more are suffering due to it. Doctors, hospitals and medical science are failed to stop it. They are trying their best but still they are not reaching to the root cause of it.  We are in helpless and hopeless condition. Now the question is where is the hope now, who can save us from this disaster? So, in Srimad Bhagwatam it is said that, when we are helpless and hopeless condition we must pray to Lord and Lord will surely help us.  We see from many of the examples given in Srimad Bhagwatam i.e. Ajamila, Gajendra, Draupadi, Kunti Maharani, King Pariskhit, King Ambrisha and many more. If we see from the story of Gajendra (the elephant). When he got caught in the mouth of crocodile, his family tried to protect but they failed. Crocodile and Gajendra fought for almost 1000 years & Gajendra lost his power, when he saw his family & relatives have left his alone.  He called Lord Narayana &am
