Add value in your life

In our Vedic Scriptures Mahabharata it is mentioned that a human form of life does not meant for only eating, sleeping, mating and defending if one is doing only these four things he is no better than animals.

आहार-निद्रा-भय-मैथुनं च समानमेतत्पशुभिर्नराणाम् ।

धर्मो हि तेषामधिको विशेषो धर्मेण हीनाः पशुभिः समानाः ॥

Human form of life means to have a better purpose in our life, if one does not do good for his own welfare and not gives something good to the society he is simply wasting his life although he is living a very prosperous life.

There are some principles in our life and if one try to follow, surely he will live a better life.

1. Service Attitude: One should try to serve others in a very respective mood and by doing this continuously he develop humility and remove false ego . Service towards devotee of Lord Krishna is the best service and that should be our first priority. Reason is we can not directly serve to Krishna as our heart is very much polluted with Lust, Anger, Greed and False ego but if we try to serve devotee of Krishna then Krishna please by our service and shower His mercy upon us.

2. Gratitude towards others: One should never forget if I am successful today there are many people involved into it directly or in-directly and we must show our gratitude towards them.

Showing our gratitude towards others not only make us humble but also we receive so much blessings for our future goal.

3. Simple living and High thinking: One must know that the life we have received is a very precious gift of Lord Krishna and if we simply waste it by gratifying our senses then it is like plowing a field by golden plow.

Srila Prabhupada used to quote, one should live his life such a way that one can maintain his material as well as spiritual both life . One should work only to maintain his good health and family and rest of the time he should do spiritual practice .

4. Compassion towards others: In this world people are suffering from stress, depression, addiction and dry relations but they do not know how can they rectify it. It is the duty of a person who is little advanced in spiritual practice, go and preach them to start practicing Bhakti Yoga a work with devotion to please Krishna. And if one try to please Krishna by doing his prescribed duties surely attain peace and harmony in his life.

5. Beware from Illusion: If one is thinkin if I get that thing I will be happy and working hard day and night to get that thing by spoiling his health is in complete illusion.

By seeing others we get carried away and think if I too have those things I must feel happy but we do not try to know the person who has that things is still in miserable condition.

One should be enough intelligent to understand these all are traps of maya (illusion) and one must escape from it and that is only possible when we are in shelter of Lord Krishna as "Where there is Krishna there will be no Maya because Krishna is like Sun and Maya is like Dark and where there is Sun there will be no darkness."

If one try to follow little bit of it in his life he must add some value in his life because he is following Dharma and result his life will be successful.

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

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.
