Wish you all a very happy Guru Purnima!

I would like to wish you all on this Guru Purnima, this is mentioned in our Vedic Scriptures that Guru is the only one who make a living being to true human being. Without Guru no one is capable enough to cross this ocean of darkness in this world.

It is mentioned in Srimad Bhagwatam Lord Brahma considered to be the first living entities in this universe having four mouths were trying to find the truth but after his all efforts from long time he failed to do so then he accepted Lord Vishnu as his Guru.

Why we celebrate Guru Purnima?

Guru Purnima is an auspicious day of Srila Vyasdeva (Krishna Dwaipayan Vyas) appearance who is none other than Lord Krishna's incarnation, he is in the form of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. that is why we see in the shloka while glorifying Srila Vyasdeva as;

गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णु गुरुर्देवो महेश्वरा

गुरुर्साक्षात परब्रह्म तस्मै श्री गुरवे नमः।

Srila Vyasdeva is son of a great sage PArasara Muni and mother Satyavati, from his childhood he was very much interested to give a benediction to the human society which is endless.

In his young age he gave Vedas, Puranas, Upnishads, Mahabharat and Srimad Bhagwatam. For the welfare of human society to come out from the darkness sage Veda Vyas gave so many scripturas and if one keep little faith on it and take shelter of it then automatically he will get rid of cycle of birth and death from this material world.

We must pay gratitude towards Vyasdeva who not only uplifted human society but gave true knowledge to us and that is why he is considered to be the first Guru.

On this Guru Purnima we must pray at the lotus of our all Gurus and specially our Spiritual master who not only shower his compassion towards us but give a chance to serve Lord Krishna because until and unless we will not take shelter of Guru we can not reach to Lord Krishna.

I pray to my Spiritual Master, teachers, mentors, friends, and one who supported me for my spiritual growth and I also pray at the lotus of Lord Krishna and Smt. Radharani to give all of them a very happy, healthy and devotional life.

Happy Guru Purnima!

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

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.

A visit to GEV

Srila Prabhupada was very much concerned about modern life style and he always used to tell his disciples, only building temples are not enough to live a pure Krishna Conscious way of life along with it we must follow our Vedic Culture and in our Vedic Culture we were fully dependent on Cows and Lands but in modern age we have rejected both and result we are not getting healthy foods and milk products. So we have to build Farm Communities where we can live a healthy life and in minimum amount of time we can produce grains, vegetables, fruits and milk products etc. and rest of the time they can do their devotional service. Milk and Grains can not be produced in factories and for this we require Cows and Lands. Govardhan Ecovillage is a project of International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The project is owned and managed by ISKCON Wada, Maharashtra. It is the result of an ardent desire of H.H.Radhanath Swami Maharaj to fulfill the dream of his beloved guru, His Divine
