How to live a happy & peaceful life?

If I ask you, are you happy from your life? You reply might be, Yes, I could be If I get so and so things then my life will be absolutely peaceful and happy.

But the moment you get that things, you started looking for other things you see still there are something missing in my life to make me happy.

That is called illusion, it will always keep you unsatisfied and ask you to get these things to become happy and you start running behind it.

A poor person want just bread and butter to become happy, a middle class person want a home and good job to become happy in his life and a rich person want to be more rich to become happy.

But if we observe from all threes life they won't be happy even if they get what they wanted.

So what is the reason behind it? and why if try to be happy we become more miserable?

To know this we must know some principle from our Scriptures:

1. Whatever we have we must say thanks to God, "O Krishna! even I am not enough qualified for all these but still by your causeless mercy you have provided me everything."

2. We should know this material world is temporary and nothing is going to stay forever here, so better if we have less things we can a burden free life.

3. Compare to the person who has nothing in compare to you but still he is living his life then why not I?

4. Krishna has given quota for everyone and one should never try to acquire quota of someone else.

5. Whatever things we have in our present life let's utilize it and try to be happy with that rather than complaining the things which you don't have. This way you not enjoy present life but also make your life miserable.

6. Give more and take less this you feel more happy and satisfied from your heart.

Hare Krishna!

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 ...

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 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...

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...
