Vedic Siksha

Today's culture is to accumulate things more and more to become happy, people think how much we fulfill our requirements that much we will be happy. The whole world is producing a new-new things everyday on the demand of people. We see our consumption are never ending, that is why there is a big problem in supply and demand equation. People need more and supply is less in proportion to their demands. But in ancient time it was not there people were having very less requirements to live their life, even they were full of resources. Philosophically they were very much aware that our requirements can never be fulfilled instead how much we increase our requirements that much our life will be miserable. For example two people are travelling one is having a simple light weight bag and other one is with full heavy 5-6 bags. Who can enjoy the journey? Very simple the person who has light bag, because that person has no burden on his head how can I carry it with, I have not much valuable in...

We all are trying to be happy in this world and thinking if not today then sure tomorrow, but I will be happy. This way a school child think I would be happy if I go to college,  and a college boy think If I get a good job I will be happy, and a working person think if I get better job I must be happy. And this way all of us are keeping hope, one day we will be happy but that day never comes in our life and if it comes then hardly for few days, months or years but not for long life. Actually being happy is our eternal quality and that is why we are seeking for it but we are trying in wrong way we don't know where will I get it? Like if a person asked to search a black cat in dark room, how can he will able to find it? The same way we all are looking for happiness but there is no real happiness in this world but that does not mean it is no where? There is a place where we all can be happy and if we try to know that as in Bhagwad Gita Lord Krishna says, this material world is pervert...

When I meet people and tell them to read Bhagwad Gita and accept Krishna Consciousnesses that will solve your all the problems and you will be permanently happy. They become surprised, thinking how can Bhagwad Gita accepting Krishna Consciousnesses can solve my problems ? That is not even surprising for me because before entering into Krishna Consciousness people used to tell me to accept and get rid of all the problems, I also react the same way. But by the mercy of Krishna and Srila Prabhupada when I came to Krishna Consciousness and gone through the process I realized this is the only way when we can get eternal happiness what we are looking for. If we follow below process in our daily  life then surely we get advantage of it: 1. Start your day with chanting of holy name- It is said, "Well begun is half done" if we start our day with fresh mood and proper chanting then our whole day goes well. Chanting rounds means connecting to Lord Krishna and once we established connec...

Often we meet the people who makes our life happy and some makes our life miserable even we have no idea how these people came in our life? So, here our past Karma comes into the picture, these people are no one but our old connection from them we have some pending things to be done from their sides and from our sides. They comes in our life to make our life miserable or happy according to our past Karma. There was a person he saw one puppy was crying on road, he showed his compassion towards that puppy and picked to home. He took care of puppy with proper attention and foods, puppy became very healthy and strong within few days. He play with puppy when he get time and enjoy his company .

Mahabharta was known to be historical war and their heroes of it, Karna was one of the powerful and energetic personality. Most of the people asked question about, if he was so powerful then why he defeated by Pandvas? So in the Mahabharta it is mentioned that when Duryodhana was insulted by Draupadi, he was always looking for his revenge from Draupdi.  Duryodhyana got opportunity when Pandvas lost from Kaurvas from Gambling, he made plan to take revenge from Draupadi to insult her in front of everyone.  But it is mentioned that he never made a plan to make Draupadi dress less in front of everyone, it was the idea of Karna. Karna asked Duryodhyan to accept such type of sinful activity. It is said that if you have people around you and always listen to them, you can not ignore them when they misguide you. This was the main reason why Karna lost his power and lost from Pandvas.  As per our Vedic scriptures, if we disrespect women, cow, Brahmans and child and old age people ...

Aaccording to our Vedic scriptures if we eat, sleep, met and defend our-self then there is no difference between human and animals, because they also do the same thing. One may ask our eating is standards, sleeping on a very comfortable bed, mating with good partner, defending  our-self through latest technologies. How can we compared by animals? But if one think from cool head get a result of both human and animals get the same pleasure by their senses with sense objects. Once Indra by cursed and got body of pig, enjoying in dirty mud with his family when Lord Brahma asked to come back to his actual home heaven, Indra rejected his proposal and told Brahma, I am very much happy here I don't want to come anywhere so please don't disturb me.  Here we can see a king of heaven enjoying in form of a pig forgot his actual position because he was getting the same pleasure in the body of pig. Now we are living a life of, Work,  Buy, Consume, and Die culture.  More than 90 pe...

(Bhagavad Gita 17:20) The place where any charity is given, the time when it is given and the type of recipient of the charity are very important factors. The auspicious occasion of Makara Sankranti, the holy place of Ganga Sagar, and its pious pilgrims present before us an ideal combination, wh...
