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!

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
