How do we know what is better for me?

While Mahabharta war was about to start, Arjuna asked Lord Krishna to keep his chariot in middle of both the warriors, he wanted to see whom I am going to fight with.

But logically if we think of when the war is already declared then there is no question of seeing the opposite parties but here we can see one weakness of Arjuna and that is Indecision.

Arjuna was little confused should I fight or not, so now he is bewildered and undecided he turned towards Krishna and expressed the feelings of his heart, “Oh Krishna!, I do not know what is better for me, I should fight with them or I should give up fighting and leave this battle field immediately.

Sometimes we also think, should I do this or should I not? and like Arjuna we are also in dilemma and in confusion most of the times we take wrong decision. So in this situation we must hear what Krishna suggest to Arjuna.

Although Arjuna give so many logic's not to fight with Kaurvas but all his logic was based on his own mind and body level and that was the reason he was also not satisfied from his own decision and finally he take shelter of Krishna.

कार्पण्यदोषोपहतस्वभावः

पृच्छामि त्वां धर्मसम्मूढचेताः ।

यच्छ्रेयः स्यान्निश्‍चितं ब्रूहि तन्मे

शिष्यस्तेऽहं शाधि मां त्वां प्रपन्नम् ॥ 2.7 ॥

Now I am confused about my duty and have lost all composure because of miserly weakness. In this condition I am asking You to tell me for certain what is best for me. Now I am Your disciple, and a soul surrendered unto You. Please instruct me.

So, if we really want to know what is better for me, then we must take shelter of Lord Krishna and Lord Krishna is still there in the form of Bhagwad Gita.

If we keep our little faith on Bhagwad Gita, Bhagwad Gita will reveal with you and guide you every steps in your life.

There are two things in our life, one we think is better for me (Preyas) and things really better for us (Shreyas).

A student thinks watching movies and playing game is better for me but their parent think instead of playing and watching movies study is better for him for his future. So, student think from his Preyas side but parent think from his Shreays side.

Please feel free to share your feedback/comments.

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
