Longest journey begins with the first step

When it comes to our goal, we think of too much, how can we achieve that? What will be the challenges? What is the obstacles in our path to achieve our goal? Here we are going to discuss about how can we achieve a big goal by taking our first step.

There is a true story I am going to share with you from where we can learn, How a first step can help to achieve a big goal. 

There was a sparrow, she laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean. After some time when she came, there is no eggs there, the Ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow asked for her eggs from the ocean to return, but Ocean refused to return. Then Sparrow asked, "If you won't return my eggs back, I will dry to you." Ocean laughed on the Sparrow and replied, "Do you think you can dry to me."

The sparrow become very upset and she began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and when finally it reaches to Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Vishnu, he became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he decided to help her.

Thus, Garuda at once asked the ocean to return her eggs lest he himself take up the work of the sparrow. The ocean was frightened by this and returned the eggs. Thus, the sparrow became happy by the grace of Garuda.

As far as Sparrow is concerned, she has no power to make ocean dry, but she took first step to achieve the goal & when she started she achieved a goal which was even impossible for her.

So, from this story we can learn, if we take our first step and fully determined, then surely Krishna will send someone in our life to help.

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
