Why Scriptures are important in our life?

One person was debating, I do know everything how to live my life and I am very happy with it, why do I require any guidance from scripture.

I asked him, do you keep your health check regularly?

He replied, Yes! Of course I do.

Then why do you go to doctor to check up your health regularly if you already caring of your diets and other things? I asked him.

He replied, because doctor knows it very well and remind me if something goes wrong in my regular diet and ask me to correct it.

I replied him, same way although we know everything, but when we accept scripture in our life it reminds us time to time when we forget something.

Finally he agreed and accept, yes it is true we can't remember everything at a time but when we read scripture regularly then it reminds us what to do and what not to do.

Srila Prabupada used to quote to their disciples, If you read my books regularly you will never fall down, my books will always protect you.

One should understand the importance of our Vedic Scriptures like Ramayana, Mahabharta, Srimad Bhagwad Gita, Srimad Bhagwatam, Upanishads, Purans any many more. It is not a mythology but an incident which has already took place and mentioned in the form of literature.

Hare Krishna!

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.

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...
