How can we attain perfection in our life?

In this material world everything seems to be set but still our mind is upset, no doubt how much we try to set everything but still something missed out in our life to make it perfect.

It is mentioned in our Vedic Scripture nothing is perfect except Lord but being in this material world we have to maintain harmony and peace in our family and social life and it is our responsibility to make our life progressive.

How much we try until and unless we do not incline our-self to the lotus feet of Lord our life is incomplete. It is said that, a tree without fruit is useless, a well without water is useless, a land without seeds useless same way a human life without devotion is useless.

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu none other than supreme personality of Godhead Lord Krishna Himself therefore recommended five main principles for attaining perfection in the devotional service of the Lord.

1. Association with devotees: We must associate with the devotees and hear pastimes of Lord and purify our heart, actually it is slow and steady process but when we hear Lord's pastime surely it cleanse our heart from material dirt (lust, anger, greed, envy etc).

2. Chanting the glories of the Lord: If we glorify someone in this material world we become very dear to that person, same way if we glorify Lord by chanting His names and pastimes, reading Vedic Scriptures we become very dear to the Lord. And when we become dear to the Lord, Lord assured us to protect us from three dangers of this material world and maintain our life.

3. Hearing Srimad-Bhagavatam from the pure devotee: When it come to our learning we try to get best teacher out of thousands who is having proper and authentic knowledge of particular subject same way if we go to hear Srimad-Bhagavatam we must be careful, it should from the pure devotees not any professional speaker.

4. Residing in a holy place connected with the Lord: Bharat is the land of holy places where Lord has played Their pastimes and still we can feel when we go to that places in that mood. When Srila Prabhupada went to west he told his disciples holy places is still the same what it was the time of Lord. There are places like, Ayodhya, Mathura, Kashi, Jagnnath Puri, Pandharpur, Dwaraka, Chitrakoot and many more. We must visit these places and feel so much relax and it really burn our worries and stress.

5. Worshiping the Deity of the Lord with devotion: Deities are not an ordinary stones made statue but They are real God it is just a matter of faith. Few people says, how a stone can be a God? But if I we see there are so many things where we keep our faith 100 percent on it like when we travel we get only a piece of paper (Air ticket) someone can ask how can you travel by just showing this piece of paper but you say, no it is authenticated by airlines and it is now ticket not just a piece of paper. same way when Deities were installed there are so many Vedic hymens chants by scholars then it become Deity it is not a stone now.

When Srila Prabhupada went to west and taught their disciples if they serve Deity nicely they feel the Lord Himself if they are in proper mood of serving.

Hope these 5 steps will definitely help us to make our life perfect.

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

Depression vs Satisfaction

There are two types of people live in this world, one who live a satisfied life and one who goes into depression when something goes wrong in their life. A satisfied person can stay happy all the time in any circumstances but a person who looks for sense pleasure and thinks sense objects is going to give happiness to me always goes into depression, if he does not get pleasure from an objects or person. And the secret of satisfactions is to see opportunity in every aspects whether it is success or failure. Many of us become happy when we get success but become sad when failure comes in our life. We must remember one thing, in our life success and failure is not going to stay forever with anyone. A very successful person has to face even failure sometimes in his life. A satisfied person knows it very well, that is why he does not goes in to depression for his failure but he learn from it and move on. A very beautiful quotes by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, "Don't read success stories, yo

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.
