Principle centered living or pleasure centered living?

There are two types of life we can live one is principle centered life and other is pleasure centered life. 

Most of the people prefer to live pleasure centered life because it gives so much liberty to live our life as much as we want to enjoy our senses. But in principle centered life there are some limitations, rules, norms we have to follow and there are less freedom to enjoy from our senses.

Now the question is if there are so much rules, norms and regulations are there in Principle centered life then why to live this life instead other side there is pleasure centered life where we have unlimited fulfillment of our senses and without any control.

But our Vedic Scriptures says, pleasure centered life is like a nectar in beginning but poison in end and principle centered life is like poison in beginning and nectar in end.

In principle centered life we live our life based on honesty, humility, determination, hard work, kindness and gratitude but in pleasure centered life we live the way we want to live our life there is no basic principles of life.

We see so many poor people who lived there life based on principle although they have no enough money, no big houses, no cars but still people respect them for their honesty, integrity, humility and God centric life.

But there are people who have Cars, Bungalows, so much money and powers but still people do not give them that much respect because they live pleasure centered life and they have no God centered life at all that is why they do not make connection with the people from their heart.

Principle centered life gives more satisfaction, happiness and peace in current life as well as next life too but pleasure centered life gives anxiety, envious and distressful life in this as well next life too.

We must ask, Am I living Principle centered life or pleasure centered life?

Laxmana - The Hidden Hero of Ramayana

In our previous post we have already mentioned Ramayna is not an ordinary story but a complete learning lesson from each & every characters. Laxmana is one of the character of Ramayana, who was completely hide himself to glorify from others, and away from honor and dishonor. Laxmana teaches us how to maintain character, competency, selfless service, and equal in both the situation either you are praised or you are abused. If you have fixed your aim, then there is no question of disturbance what people say to you. But when we get into the deep of Ramayana and see the value of Laxmana, We see he was the hero after Lord Rama in the whole story. Laxmana represents  who carry out Laxmi with him and serve Lord Rama by his good will. Laxmana always eager to serve Lord Rama, when Lord Rama was about to go for exile for fourteen years Laxmana immediately stood up & ready to go along with Lord Rama although he was not asked to go to exile. Laxmana took vow, he will not sleep for four...

Learning Lessons from Mother Sumitra

In this world mother and child relationship is above all the relations. The foremost responsibility of a mother is to place her child in a proper Krishna Consciousness environment by which he/she becomes pure devotee of the Lord. Often mothers blame for their children, they are not behaving well and they don't respect them at all but the reason behind this is how much we are doing for them. Being a parent means to sacrifice for children. In modern age mother has no time to care of her children and think they can give all kinds of facilities by just giving money. And when the child grows up and by the time he/she do not get the association of mother and teachings they become free to do what they want to do. Mother means to care for her children what they need and give love and teach them how to love and respect others. And if we think we just send our children to schools/colleges and they will be perfect in all so they cannot. Its the duty of the mother to give valuable time ...

TIT for TAT OR Tolerate That

Many of the times we go through situations where we get confused what to do now? According to our Vedic Scriptures we should keep three things in our mind and accordingly react or respond on situations. If you can change it: Situations comes in your life or brought by some people and you know if it is completely against our religious principle, then you must stand against it and try to change the situations. When Hauman Ji reached in Lanka and Lankini the guard of Lanka tried to stop Him and because it was against the religious principle as his own master kidnapped others wife, Hanuman Ji punched on her mouth by His left hand and move on. Same way if you have power and know things are going against Dharma, you should change the situations else you have to suffer sinful reactions of it. If you can not change it: Sometimes situations are completely against us and we are not even able to change it then that time we must accept the situation and try to tolerate it.  You don't believe...
