Ganapati Bappa - An ideal devotee of Shri Krishna

First of all I would like to wish everyone Happy Ganesha Chaturthi, people all around the world worship Lord Ganesha and He is known as obstacle removal (Vighnaharta).

We all know Lord Ganesha is the most prominent worship able Demigod and He worshiped in each of the important occasion whether it is home ceremony, marriage ceremony, birth ceremony etc.

But few of us know the truth behind it, why it is so out of 33 crores demigods only Lord Ganesha is the one who is most most prominent worship able.

So there is a small story comes in Purans, there was a race in all Demigods to circulate whole universe 3 times and who win the race will declared as most prominent worship able Demigod.

All demigods with their carrier participated and started the race but Lord Ganesha has a very tiny and slow carrier known as mouse and he started his race.

When Lord Ganesha was circulating he met with great sage Narada Muni but other Demigods avoided and continue their race but Lord Ganesha stop and put their obeisance towards Narda Muni.

Narada Muni asked to Ganesha, why did you stop even your carrier is too slow, how will you win the race? In reply Lord Ganesha said, My dear respected sage, winning the race is not much important for me but avoiding you will be great offense for me.

Narada Muni was very much pleased by Ganesha and gave secret of winning the race and told, you just circulate the person who always chant the holy name of Lord Rama and that is your father, He always chant the holy name of Lord Rama.

Lord Ganesha just circulated three times of His father Lord Shiva and he was declared as a winner and awarded the post of most prominent worship able Demigod.

That is why it is said, the person who take association of a pure devotee will achieve his mission very easily.

साधु संग साधु संग सब शास्त्र कहे । लब मात्र साधु संग सब सिद्धि होय ।।

Here we can see how Lord Ganesha very easily;

1. He won the race without even putting too much efforts

2. Ganesha became prominent most worshipade Demigod

3. If we chant the holy name of Lord Rama/Krishna no one can beat us

4. He empowered by Lord Krishna to help composing 1,00,000 verse of Mahabharta (Bhagwad Gita is a part of it as Bhisma parva) narrated by Srila Vyasdeva.

Wish you all a very happy Ganesha Chaturthi.

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
