Image
As Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the combined manifestation of Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna and Radha, had predicted his name to be heard and chanted in every corners of the world, Prabhupada’s ISKCON has been launching genuine Krishna Consciousness movement worldwide for the same.

Forgetfulness:The Major Symptom

Image
Disease is examined and treated on the basis of symptom it carries. When we talk of tuberculosis we examine, confirm and treat it on the basis of the symptom it carries such as blood on sputum, cough and so on. Among them blood on sputum may be considered to be major symptom. Similarly, when we talk of this age, Kali Yuga its major symptom may be summarized in a single word ‘forgetfulness’. In previous ages, as per Vedic scriptures people had very sharp intelligence and memory. They could memorize the large and large verses just on the basis of one time hearing it. Thus they preserved the whole Vedic scriptures due to their high memory. Nowadays we can hardly memorize some tiny information despite of our continuous effort to do so. What’s your good name sir? My name is (…..). A person replies in the question of another. They talk for a while and go away. One the way the person forgets what was the name of the person whom he had asked his name just few minutes ago. Right? Do you agree?...

The Actual Identity

Image
This is my hand; this is my leg ; this is my head , these are my legs and this is my body but who am I ? who is actually saying my? Have you ever analyzed in this way? It is very easy to identify own true self after analyzing in this way. Scriptures say that this body made of of five gross elements  and three subtle elements is not our true self . It is ever changing and will be finished along with death. Death really means the end of this body but not of our true self. Scriptures further point that the soul which is immortal , unborn and ever existing is our true self. It is not the subject of changes even when physical body changes. Our soul remains the same. Soul is just wearing and throwing the outward covering of above mentioned element. The soul is the eternal part and parcel of supreme soul called supersoul. Scriptures point our real self in such ways. Thus, we have to come outside the bodily concept of our identity. Bodily identification is the subject of changes eve...

Wisdom can’t be banned !

Image
The same subject becomes the example of wisdom for one and ignorance for other sometimes. It is because one who has gone thoroughly the subject matter of that object attains the knowledge of the same and other who ignores the same misinterprets without the actual knowledge. When it is about Bhagavad-gita one person takes as the manual for self-displine while other take as the extremist literature. One who takes it to be the extremist literature  has developed mis-conception about this scripture. Bhagavad-gita teaches us the lesson of morality. It teaches us the code of conduct for running our life for perfection. Bhagavad-gita explores our hidden identity. In fact it is the collection of  wisdom. But sometimes people mis-interpret it and even try to ban it , accusing the nonsense to it. Really this scenario is seen all over the world. To sum up , scriptures like Bhagavad-Gita are in no way wrong rather are the subject matter of wisdom. To try to ban wis...

If you don’t stand for something you’ll fall down for nothing.

Image
I was attaining a spiritual program at Hare Krishna Temple, Nepal. It was already late when I reached there. A senior devotee (HG Patri Prabhu) was giving Bhagavad-Gita class to all assembled devotees there. I came to listen the same. His class was such a juicy that more we drank more we wanted. His wonderful speech, style and matured devotion were the basic reason for heart transformation of attendants. We were encouraged us to participate in the global movement of spreading Krishna Consciousness. Many times he was repeating one verse ‘if you don’t stand for something you’ll fall down for nothing’. Really, he was stressing on this verse frequently but I was a bit slower to understand its meaning. He was giving his wonderful class and everybody were listening him with deep concentration but at later half of his wonderful class , my mind couldn’t focus on his lecture but the same verse which he was stressing earlier attracted my  mind frequently. My mind was repeating the same verse...

Krishna energizes his devotees

Image
Krishna’s devotee are always active? What is the hidden secret in it? Someone was asking genuinely with me.  I was at my work and busy as well but his repeated inquiry snapped my mood away from that particular work and dragged me to the nature of many known devotees of Krishna. Really their enthusiasm is the spice for thought. At first I find myself miserable to answer this question but my mind reminded the nature of Krishna and I was convinced myself. Krishna is God. This is base and foundation of our spiritual life. As He is God he is full of energy every time.  Just for example when we talk of magnetism whole magnetic substances derive their property from complete magnet. Just like iron pieces when put in the contact of magnet get magnetized similarly krishna’s devotees due to continuous link with Krishna , the possessor of total energy his devotees get automatically energized and devote their life continuously for Krishna’s service.
