Wish you a very Happy & Auspicious Akshay Trititya

Tomorrow is the most auspicious day known to be Akshay Tritiya. Akshay means which can not be decayed or which is eternal. On this auspicious day there are many incident took place in our history. Few of them we are going to share.

1, Appearance day of Parashuram: It is the day when Parashuram appeared on the earth. Parashuram is known to be the 6th Incarnation of Lord Vishnu and known for his anger towards Kshatriya who was misleading the community.

2. Apperance of Mother Ganga on earth from Heavenly planet: On this auspicious day mother Ganga descended herself from Heaven to Earth on the request of King Bhagirathi after 1000 years of his penance. He was one of the forefathers of Lord Rama and son of King Dilipa. It is mentioned in Ramayana King Bhagirathi brough mother Ganga on earth to purify his forefathers soul as King Sagar lost his 60,000 sons due to the anger of sage Kapila.

3. Gift of Akshaya Patra to Pandavas: When Sun God pleased by Pandavas and queen Draupadi, he gifted a magical vessel to Draupdi known as Akshaya Patra. The magic of this vessel was, whatever Draupdi cook in it, she can serve it to many by cooking only once. There was only one condition, if Draupdi took food from it, it will be the last. This magical vessel also saved Pandavas from the anger of sage Durvasha while in exile.

4. Building of Lord Jagannath Chariot: It is said that it is the day when Lord Jagannath Chariot get build. Many may not be aware of Lord Jagannath, so Lord Jagannath is none other than Lord Krishna Himself, Lord Baldeva is Balrama and mother Subhadra is sister of both.

5. Sandalwood Paste Festival: Many of us can not even think Lord in the form of statue (stone, wood or metal) can feel heat. But Srila Prabhupada used to tell to his disciples, these altar are not an ordinary but God himself. There is a small story about Sandal Paste. When Madhevndra Puri was asked from Gopal (in the form of deity), He is feeling hot and bring sandal paste for him from Jagannath Puri.

There are so many auspicious thing happens on this day. Most of the people believe purchasing Gold is very auspicious on this day that is also true but more important is if we chant Lord's holy name that will be even more auspicious for all of us.

Hare Krishna!

Happy & Auspicious Akshay Trititya.

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
