International Yoga Day 2022

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, mind and intelligence and render service towards Lord Krishna then it is actual Yoga else it is just something else.

Lord Krishna has already spoke in Bhagwad Gita 6.47 about who is the best Yogi?

योगिनामपि सर्वेषां मद्ग‍तेनान्तरात्मना ।

श्रद्धावान्भजते यो मां स मे युक्ततमो मत: ॥ 6.47 ॥

And of all yogīs, the one with great faith who always abides in Me, thinks of Me within himself and renders transcendental loving service to Me – he is the most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all. That is My opinion.

If one just care of his body only and forgot to worship the supreme personality of Godhead who is the creator of entire universe and worshipable to all living entities is known to be the ungrateful and waste his life because our ultimate goal of life is to know the relationship with Krishna and if one become successful to know the Krishna is known to be the best Yogi.

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.
