Devotee's commitment

Recently , I was fortunate to learn about devotees commitment needed to spiritualize life fully from one of the devotees of lord Krishna. Which are: New year commitment (for/by Krishna's devotees) Ok! lets make the commitment. 1)  First of all , we have to have some desires for making our life meaningful. Our life is sure to go in vain if we spend our life just like animals : just (eating , mating , sleeping and defending). Above than it, Human life is important because we are gifted with higher intelligence . Lets make the commitment to use our intelligence for exploring our true identity as eternal soul and hence the eternal servant of supreme personality of Godhead Sri Krishna. 2) Lets make the commitment to utilize our time for reading authentic spiritual books such as Bhagavad-Gita. ( * Srila Prabhupada's book are obviously authentic). 3) Lets make the commitment to give maximum possible time for the association of devotees. 4) Lets make the commitment to give suffi...

Right Destination For Everyone: Wisdom can’t be banned !

A Russian court today dismissed a petition seeking a ban on a translated version of Bhagvad Gita Sanjaya Says in Bhagavad Gita  : Wherever there is Krishna , the master of all mystics , and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be opulence, victory , extraordinary power , and morality. That is my opinion. A Russian court today dismissed a petition seeking a ban on a translated version of Bhagvad Gita for being “extremist”, bringing cheers to followers across the world.

Manufactured gods (In the factory )

Nowadays we come to hear about many gods. They are claiming to be the incarnation of Godhead. Some of them impose themselves and some by blind followers but never by authentic scriptures. We call them by the name of ‘Manufactured gods’. Those manufactured gods even don’t know why they are in this material world. Scriptures say that main reason for being situated in this world is the misuse of our independence and our wish to become just like Krishna, the Supreme proprietor. When we wanted to adopt proprietorship, Krishna send us in this material world for the same and we are just struggling to be the proprietor of this material world. But, we are in no way the proprietor. That’s why when we try to be the master of this material atmosphere we are no longer in spiritual platform but always in the clutches of Illusion (Maya). Those manufactured gods whose Godliness is not supported by authentic scriptures and authority are to be understood as the outcome of Maya, the illusion. Those...

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...
