We wish you all a very happy Jagannath Rath Yatra 2022. Many of may not be aware of who is Lord Jagannath and why Rath Yatra festival organized where Lord Jagannath sit on Chariot to shower his mercy upon us. So first of all Lord Jagannath is none other than Lord Krishna Himself and in Kali He has appeared to shower his mercy upon fallen soul like us. Many people may not have time to see Lord so here Lord Jagannath is so merciful He Himself come out from His temple to see people. In Jagannath Puri (Odisha) where Lord Jagannath, Baldeva along with their Younger Sister Subhadra appeared in end of Dwapara Yuga.  Jagannath Puri is not an ordinary place but it is like Lord Krishna's higher planet like Vaikuntha.  Every year Ratha Yatra organized in Puri but like Jagannath our founder Acharcya H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada also in compassion started Rath Yatra all across the world and now not only India and Puri there are Singapore, USA, UK, California, Russia and there are many more where eve

Sincerity is not a tool or techniques to apply for some benefit or impress purpose but it is an inbuilt nature based on honesty, integrity, loyalty and wisdom. One can not copy sincerity from someone and apply it on his own.  Today most of the people are trying to be sincere to impress others but it can not work for long run as a crow can not hide himself for a long in the form of a cuckoo. Your actual behavior will surely comes up today or tomorrow and Lord Krishna is already sitting inside everyone heart and knows how we are. If we really want to be sincere then we have to work on very ground level to serve others selflessly, serve Krishna and His devotees and by rendering service gradually we can develop the qualities of Sincerity. And the best quality of sincerity is to tolerate the situations and the people and give up false ego. If one try to tolerate and give up his false ego he will be sincere in future. There are twelve great personalities (Mahajans) mentioned in our Vedic scr

Wishing you all a very happy International Yoga Day 2022. The word Yoga means (to add) and that means if one create connection with Lord is known to be an Yogi. Yoga is actually invention of ancient Bharata and our sages used to do it for building the connection with God and it can be done through GyanYoga, KarmaYoga, DhyanYoga and BhaktiYoga. But the actual meaning of Yoga has been changed over the period of time and people started using the term Yoga to build their health even that is also good but it is not the ultimate purposes of Yoga. If one has a beautiful car and he cleans it every day and show it to everyone but he never go for drive then does he using the car properly? Car is not for only show off purpose it's actual purpose get fulfilled when one go for drive. Same way when Yoga became most popular in all across the world, people forgot it's actual use and started using to maintain their body only. But Yoga does not means to maintain only body but to control senses,

It is known that if you enter into coal mine you must get black spot on your body even though you are very clean, same way if you associate with bad people although you have enough good qualities but everything will be lost by just association of bad company. In Mahabharta Karna was known to be a very good and intelligent person but due to bad company of Duryodhana, Dushashana and Shakuni he lost his all good qualities and character. It is very easy to enjoy initially with bad company but once you are addicted with them slowly you start losing your good qualities. That is why an intelligent person knows that to whom I should associate with and it is better to be with few good people than thousands bad. An association can be done by six way. By sharing foods with each others, by sharing things with each others, by sharing thoughts with each others. It is not that if you talk with someone that means you are in association with him. It is said that, three things affect our Karma; the star

We must have heard about Udupi many times but only few knows the facts about the place Udupi which is non-different than Vrindavana where Lord Krishna played His childhood pastimes.  Udupi which comes under state of Karnataka the place of temples is also known as South Vrindavana. Udupi Krishna is a very holy and powerful place for devotee of Lord Krishna where Lord Krishna in the form of stick in one hand and rope in other in standing position is a very unique idol.  There is a story behind this form and the place how Krishna appeared. It is said that only a great saint can have power to call Lord from His abode and Sripad Madhvacharya (an incarnation of Hanuman ji /Bheema) around 750 years before who installed the deity of Lord Krishna which Krishna played His childhood pastimes in Dwarka when mother Devaki requested Krishna to be a baby as she missed Krishna's childhood and when Krishna took the form of a baby Rukmani Devi (the first wife of Krishna) saw this beautiful form of K

There are many formulas we try for being happy but unfortunately no formula realy works. Because we do not try to find out the root cause of it and until and unless we would not find the root of it how can we solve the exact problem? If a person is feeling hungry and crying so much to get the food but people around him try to give so many things but no one try to ask what exactly he wants? One may think why he is not stop crying? But an intelligent person go and ask him what is his real problem and try to give solution accordingly. Same way only Lord Krishna knows the real source of happiness and He only can give us the formula for it and that is already mentioned in B.G. 5.23. शक्न‍ोतीहैव य: सोढुं प्राक्शरीरविमोक्षणात् । कामक्रोधोद्भ‍वं वेगं स युक्त: स सुखी नर: ॥ 5.23 ॥  Before giving up this present body, if one is able to tolerate the urges of the material senses and check the force of desire and anger, he is well situated and is happy in this world. There are the forces of talk, fo

While distributing Bhagwad Gita in a classroom there was one child who purposely said, Will your Bhagwad Gita help to pass my exam without studying? I smiled after hearing his question although his question was in challenging mode but still it is good to clear his doubts. I asked him, "Do you not complete your homework when you come to school next day and show it your teacher". But why sometimes your teacher gives your appreciation but sometimes not? Student said, It depends on my teachers mood. But if you do not complete your homework then? I said. Will you be punished or rewarded? Of course I will be punished, student said. Yes, then completing homework is your prime duty and getting appreciation from your teacher is not in your hand it is depend on teachers wish. Same way reading Bhagwad Gita will help you how to work but it is not that after reading Bhagwad Gita you don't have to work. That is the reason Lord Krishna taught Arjuna, my dear Arjuna do your duty honestly
