NEVER FORGET KRISHNA.. ALWAYS REMEMBER KRISHNA..

Hey Krishna, please shield me from the cruel witch  company of lusty desires. Please help me get rid of anger, envy, madness, cruelty, pride, greed, falsehood, and all other vices. I would rather die of starvation than associate with materialistic persons. Even to get the best thing I shall not for a moment approach materially minded people. Even if everything collapses I shall not, even within my mind, leave the shelter of the holy name. What else will give protection to this weak and fallen person?

Please protect me from the fear of forgetting holy name Sri Krishna. I am very fallen and weak, please kindly protect me from all dangers. I don’t need anything except the remembrance  of the divine couple “Radha-Krsna”..

KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS, THE SAVIOR OF MANKIND…

MIND, BE MINDFUL...

Be mindful that work done for the external material body is degrading,

Be mindful  that extravagant n overweening praise is a series of empty words only,

Be cognizant  that material wealth is a great calamity,

Be cognizant  that the body of opposite sex is a demoness,

aware that the material body is a useless burden, absolute source of suffering

aware that the company of materialistic men is more dangerous than a poisonous snake because a snake kills only once..and

aware that even though everyone may consider you a great personality you are actually the most lowly and fallen, become free from material possessiveness,

whatever you are, whoever you are,.. the end is a handful of ash,..

So please please please chant the name of KRISHNA...

vande krishna jagad guru..

Thank you…

REAL INDEPENDENCE IN REALITY COMES BY OUR COMPLETE DEPENDENCE (independence day special) (BG 7.14)

                All the cities, towns, villages, and wherever possible, today is a big day for Indians, its our independence day. The much awaited day every year. It marks the end of a century old suffering, humiliation, exploitation, by a foreign invader. This is a day of renovation, a day of reestablishment of our pride and honor. The day when the prejudice ended and justice started. The day which has invoked a true sense of individuality, and a real sense of existence, among all of us. The three colored flag flying gracefully, elegantly, with poise marks an emblem of our independence.

                Or our apparent independence. No, I am not mistyping words. Actually our independence is apparent. Although we have got independence from our external enemies, but the real enemy lies within us. And they are lust, greed, anger, envy, pride, and illusion.. until or unless, we are free from these enemies, in a true sense we are never independent.                           

              The problems will prevail, or it may proliferate, which we can see growing. In this context,  an anecdote is worth mentioning, long ago Alexander, the great , when he was on his world wide desecrating campaign, he came across a sadhu in india. He wanted to meet the sadhu, so he called the sadhu to come out of his cottage. But the sadhu denied. So, Alexander became so angry, and he angrily enquired about this weird behavior of the sadhu. And the sadhus reply was even more bewildering, he told ‘you are slave of my slave’. Now, Alexander who was the emperor of the whole world, couldn’t bear it, he was about to kill the sadhu, but wanted to know, why he said like that, the sadhu replied,’I have made anger my slave, and you are slave to your anger’. Alexander could understand now, the great message that he got.

 The story may seem very fascinating , but that is the condition of all of us. We are slaves to our own senses and mind. In other words we are dependent, and miserably so. So, to relish real independence , we got to be free of the six dangerous enimies, within. Otherwise we can celebrate the day year after year, but only to see, corruption, injustice, prejudice, exploitation, abuse, slavery, escalating in a geometric progression, God forbids it does nt happen.. But unless we are serious about extruding these enemies, these problems will inevitably crop on our society. So, Krishna, pointing it out in

BHAGAVAD GITA 7.14, 
‘THIS DIVINE ENERGY OF MINE, CONSISTING OF THE THREE MODES OF MATERIAL NATURE,
IS DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME. BUT THOSE WHO HAVE SURRENDERED UNTO ME CAN EASILY CROSS BEYOND IT.”
So, he is giving the solution also. We, the people, are always under the modes of material nature, and the product of material nature are the the six enemies, which we are always subordinate to. But Krishna here is assuring that, it is very easy to overcome, by simply surrendering to him. In other words by declaring our complete dependence on the supreme absolute, and thereby freeing ourselves from the illusory forces of mind and senses. We can become really independent in a true sense. And the method that is prescribed here in, by chanting the names of God, 
With chanting the mantra we can declare our dependence on God.. and therby become supremely independent. And the mantra in which krsna has invested all his energy, is all purifying, immediately, it cleanses our heart from the enemies..

Lets cultivate the message of bhagavad gita, lets chant krsnas name, lets become free from the bound state, that we are in, life after life,.. this is the essence of celebrating independence day.. thank you…

DEVOTION MAYN'T PROMISE A SAFE ROAD, BUT DEFINITELY ENSURE A SMOOTH RIDE...

             Its always difficult to walk on a path, which is full of turbulence and obstacles.. but if we are riding on some convenience, then the difficulties can be reduced by substantial amount..

The spiritual seeker always has this ambiguity in his mind.. Is aproaching the way of devotion will entail me a safe path in the journey of life. Well, that is not true always.. The nature of this material world is that at every step there is danger, as pages of srimad bhagavatam confirms, and as our experience affirms.

          Factually, the four real problem of life, as stated are, birth, old age, disease and death.. Alongside we are constantly being tormented by three fold miseries of life, namely adidaivika klesa( miseries due to natural disaster) , adibhautika klesa(miseries due to other living entity), and adhyatmika klesa( miseries due to ones own mind and body).

        Although we get suffering due to our past karma, but these endurance also serve as a reminder, that this material world is not a place to stay on, but a platform for cross over, from material world to spiritual world. it works as a bridge of connection.. A bridge is by nature frivolous, fragile,. That does not make the bridge incompetent, but reminds us to be competent enough to cross it quickly..

       The materialist mistakes the bridge to be permanent and lasting, and try to always make all necessary arrangements for permanent residence, only to be swept away by the inevitable progress of time. But a spiritualist takes the bridge as a mode of cross over, although while on bridge he undergo the same suffering as the materialist, but he is in full knowledge, about the destination, which lies at the end of the bridge, which he has to reach.. so, he doesn’t waste time in making a home in the bridge, rather he uses the bridge, as a tool, for getting to the real home..

       So, krsna’s instruction to Arjuna, in bhagavad gita 2.14, is a reality check for all of us, whereby he states,

‘THE NONPERMANENT APPEARANCE OF HAPPINESS AND DISTRESS, AND
THEIR DISAPPEARANCE IN DUE COURSE, ARE LIKE THE APPEARANCE AND DISAPPEARANCE OF WINTER AND SUMMER SEASONS. THEY ARISE FROM SENSE PERCEPTION,O SON OF
BHARATA, AND ONE MUST LEARN TO TOLERATE THEM WITHOUT BEING DISTURBED’.

        So, a devotee or spiritualist shouldn’t get unnecessarily disturbed by such a troubled path, for one should know,them to be temporary. And always try to fix his mind, in the ultimate goal of life, to go back to Godhead, the region of deathlessness. 
The path may be full of hurdles, but if one is on a helicopter, above the same path. He will sail over the same path amidst no difficulties. Similarly, when we take shelter of the lotus feet of the supremely lovable, krsna, then we can cross the so called hurdled path, swiftly and smoothly. And the only method prescribed for the age of kali, to take absolute shelter of Krishna, is the congregational chanting of the holy name.
HARE KRSNA HARE KRSNA KRSNA KRSNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE..   thank you..

KRISHNA -
<IN TRUE SENSE>< A FRIEND INDEED><FRIENDSHIP DAY>

My body may be decorated with beautiful garments and ornaments, or it may burn with terrible disease. I may be praised, or defamed with millions of words. I may become the master of all wealth, or I may be reduced to abject poverty. I may be free from all suffering, or I may be a living corpse.

Whatever my condition is, I shall always take shelter of the supremely lovable lord SRI KRISHNA., for only he proclaims in Bhagavad Gita 5.29,

he is the only n only benefactor and well wisher of every living entities, in all d circumstances n his luv is unmotivated, uninterrupted n unconditional.. n independent of our luv towards him...

Happy friendship Day .. hare Krsna... Thnk u..

Krishna consciousness, saviour of mankind...
