Envy destroy ourselves more than destroying others

There is a saying, If you want to destroy yourself completely, be envious towards others. The person who has envy towards others will never live his life peacefully.

The main reason behind be become envious towards others is, when other person get something and I may not be able to get that things.

But being envious we not only become restless and make our life miserable but we also makes others life miserable too.

When Prajapati Daksha became envious towards Lord Shiva, he organised a big sacrifice but did not invited Lord Shiva due to envy. But Lord Shiva did not felt anything but Mother Sati felt very much insult to Lord Shiva and she jumped into sacrificial fire.

After hearing this Lord Shiva sent to Virbhadra and told to destroy sacrifice and cut Daksha's head. When Lord Shiva pacified by Lord Brahma he gave Daksha a head of Goat.

But the moral of the story is Envy destroy us more than others. We only experience the pain and harming more to us than to other person.

What is the check point whether I am envious or not and how we can be envy free?

1. Being non envious of other people If another person is successful we should be never be envious

2. We should act as well wishers of the success people

3. To establishment a competition less society with God in center and think every one is child of God

We can be envy free when we think, when Krishna is not giving me something then Krishna has plan behind it may be I don't deserve it or may be He has another plan for me. Not everything every person get in his life.

If Lord Krishna is my well wishers and others well wishers then why should I be envious of other person.

It is mentioned in Srimad Bhagwatam, if we hear glories of Lord Rama Chandra we become envy free. As we see from Lord Rama's pastimes He never shown envy towards others even towards Ravana although he was His biggest enemy. So if we hear and pray to Lord Rama we can free our-self from envy.

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
