How to identify one's behavior towards us?

In Srimad Bhagwatam canto 4 chapter 8 verse 18 it is mentioned, one should never associate with the people who does not like you any more else he just not only damage his consciousnesses but we also become victim of it. For a safe purpose we should avoid such kind of association.

नैताद‍ृशानां स्वजनव्यपेक्षया गृहान्प्रतीयादनवस्थितात्मनाम् ।

येऽभ्यागतान् वक्रधियाभिचक्षते आरोपितभ्रूभिरमर्षणाक्षिभि: ॥ 4.3.18 ॥

One should not go to anyone’s house, even on the consideration of his being a relative or a friend, when the man is disturbed in his mind and looks upon the guest with raised eyebrows and angry eyes.

When Mother Sati asked to visit his father home Lord Shiva stopped not to go as he does not like us and it is better let him be happy alone rather than creating disturbance in his life, but Mother Sati told to Lord Shiva, he is my own father surely he will be happy to see me.

And we see rest of the story how seeing Mother Sati his father Daksha Prajapati become envious and turned his face from Mother Sati. Seeing this Mother Sati felt big insult of her own and his husband Lord Shiva.

There are three types of welcome where we can understand what is going inside the person's mind:

1. Warm Welcome : Smiling face, open eyes, and open arms when you get warm welcomes, you must see the person is more happier than you. One who has cultivated divine qualities knows the values of the persons in his life. They are very friendly nature. They avoid the contact of bad association. we must associate with these types of people.

2. Cold Welcome: When people see someone he raise his eye brows and twist his eyes and he has no happy face then we must know this person is not happy at all seeing to me. We should avoid to go these places where we get these types of welcome.

3. Neutral Welcome: In this type of welcome neither eye brows raised nor smiled faces seen but they have neutral reaction. They do not bother whether you visit them or not, they just do the needful for you what is needed on that occasion.

So in above three types of welcome we must go for Warm Welcome and must avoid Cold Welcome.

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
