Destiny is more powerful than our efforts

It is said that, What you sow, shall yo reap. and our Karma decides our destiny, that is why our scriptures strictly warn us not to do such activities which lead us towards bad karma.

And once we accumulate our Karma our destiny is fixed, no one can change it.

When the Mahabharta war was ended and Lord Krishna was going to Dwarka on the way to Dwarka Lord Krishna met to a sage named Udanka.

King greeted Krishna and asked for welfare of others, My dear Lord is everything is all right?

Lord Krishna replied, yes! everything is alright but one thing the war of Mahabharta took place and many people died in it.

Sage Udanka asked, But my dear Lord if you wish you could have been stooped such a huge loss of human being. How many people died in the war?

Lord Krishna replied, Only 12 men survived and War lasted for eighteen days.

5 Pandvas, Ashwathama, Kripacharya, Vrishaketu , Yuvutsu , Satyaki , Kritivan and Me.

There were 7 Akshaunis armies from Pandvas side and 11 Akshaunis armies from Kauvas side

There were total 18 Akshaunis armies fought in Mahabharta war.

Lord Krishna smiled and told, My dear sage do you think I did not try rather I tried many times to Dhritrashtra and Duryodhna not to have war just to pacify our own ego. I sent so many messages to the King Dhritrashtra by Udhava, Vidur even I personally went as a messenger to not to have war, but these people refused to accept my suggestion.

Finally I understood, destiny is very powerful and in their destiny war is already decided.

Chose your every action very wisely to make sure you are going to have good destiny.

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.
