Who is more Richer?

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 Vendor and thought I could have given 1000 of dollar in exchange of news paper but that person refused to take.

Once Bill Gates was interviewed and asked by the reporter, "Your are the richest person of the world, how do you feel? Bill Gates smiled and said, "I am not the richest person of the world, there is one person I know him personally who is more richer than me." And he disclosed the name of the news vendor.

Moral of the story is, Richness do not comes by only money there is honesty, integrity, selfless service to the people.

If you want to know, how rich you are? Just count the things around you which money can not buy.

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 ...
