Happy Balrama Jayanti

Tomorrow i.e 12th Aug we are celebrating Sri Balrama Jaynti the appearance day of Lord Balrama.

Lord Balrama is none different than Lord Krishna as it is mentioned in many scriptures i.e. Srimad Bhagvatam, Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita and many more but the only difference is of color as Lord Balrama looks golden complexion but Lord Krishna is in blackish complexion.

There is also one difference in Lord Balrama and Lord Krishna, Lord Balrama is a serving Lord and Lord Krishna is master Lord.

Lord Balrama always ready to serve Lord Krishna even though He is younger or elder does not matter. In Tretayug we see Lord Balrama as Laxmana and he server Lord Rana for throughout his life and in Dwapar yuga when he become elder brother of Lord Krishna then too He was serving to Krishna to protect from all the dangers.

Lord Balrama is known as many names i.e. Anantshesha, Baldau, Laxman, Rohini Nandana, Haldhar, Sankarshan etc. He is also known as Adi-Guru who teaches us how to serve Lord Krishna by His own example.

Balrama means the source of all power. He is the son of Rohini Mata and husband of Revati Devi.

Although Lord Balrama is known to be very angry young man but when He comes along with Sri Chatyna Mahaprabhu in the form of Sri Nityand Prabhu in age of Kali to give Their mercy upon fallen soul like us.

He is known to be very much compassionate person, and if we take shelter of Lord Nityanand definitely he shower His mercy upon us and give us Krishna prema.

Let's pray to Lord Nityanand to give us mercy so we can serve Guru and Krishna in a better way.

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

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
