Krsna's Teachings

This is for all those who have no idea what it means to go without food for lack of resources. Hunger and malnutrition are one of the biggest scourge of the world.  We have always had our stomach full at all times. We never had to beg for food or water. But there are millions who never get a full meal or a canteen of water either. The only thing which we have tried out is maybe going without food for a few hours and calling it upwas meanwhile consuming stuff which provides for the lost nutrition. Maybe fruits or food filled with carbs. This is done in the name of religion or some sort of medical issue. But does it account for going hungry?  Poverty is the root cause of this disease. Food grains are not available in places due to drought, warlike conditions, desert region, paucity of funds which makes a field going fallow and so on. In places of plenty, people spend so much on colored water and beverages. These are of no use to the body, yet we love to splurge on various beers,...

When your past comes to haunt you and you don't know what to do!  Everyone has left behind a horrid or unsavory past and had wanted it to die but the past has the capability to rise from the ashes much stronger. Destiny keeps us on our toes much longer than we want it to disappear.  These may be some habits that we have given up. Maybe it's drugs, alcohol, laziness, inertia, lies, people like our ex's, affairs that can never get approval of the society, sexual misconduct, espionage and secret liaisons, pilferages and theft, loans and credits, etc..  These suddenly seem to come back to us from nowhere. They show their ugly head up and keep us on tenterhooks. The factor called fear and ugliness associated with these so called shameful acts make our life miserable. We so much want them to disappear. But these are tenacious and persist till we find some solutions to it. These past circumstances blackmail us into again thinking about our hoary past. They make the devils rise....

Do you give some time for God in your entire day? Hardly any or not at all! That will be your answer, I am sure.  We find time for every other activity in our life but at the end of the day, we do not have any time left for God.  Our day starts with brushing our teeth or having our morning cuppa. Thereafter we get engrossed in our day to day mundane jobs. From eating, drinking, bathing, dressing, going for our daily jobs, school, colleges or wherever that we go for work related activities, we go there! There, the entire time is used up for that which pays us to live. Returning back home, we get engrossed with household matters, play, entertainment, travel or whatever else that occupies our time. It could be a child, wife or husband, cooking, hobbies, entertaining, drinking, etc..  Later as the day becomes a night, it's sleep, sex, entertainment or other things to keep us engrossed.  In your entire day, God never even featured once. So what is it that makes us think o...

They say the first impression is a lasting impression. We make judgements right at the first eye contact about any individual. Same goes for the aural messages. We jump to conclusions and have likes and dislikes in place.  In politics or in school also, we have created trust or mistrusts within moments of meeting people. The factors that have determined our behavior are varied. It could be just the color of skin, the way of dressing, the gait of that person, the handshake, the utterances or even political affiliations. These can sway our mind immediately.  In my spiritual world too, I have to face these everyday. The expectancy of any individual, when they see a spiritual person are based on their own conclusions about the appearances of such a type. They have  typecasted a spiritualist as a person wearing orange or white clothes with flowing beard, saintly demeanor, walking gently, speaking softly, raising hands towards heavens at every word uttered, spouting wisdom, ref...

When did the sun ever set? Not in a million years. It only hides for a short duration of time. When it does, the doomsday sayers tell you that it is never going to rise again. They come with all remedies to avoid the doom.  But the sun rises again to a new day bringing forth the same charm. The changes that happened during its setting time were necessary and required for the creation.  Our life too runs such course. We too are like the sun and the moon. Sometimes we are raring to go like the harsh sun. Sometimes we are just starting some activity like the sunrise. Some other time some activities are coming to a close like the sunset. There are various hues in life also. The parabolic path followed by the sun are also equal in nature to our life cycle. We rise and become bright then we turn at the peak of high noon above the head. We go straight up in life. Just above and then the descent starts. The sun starts loosing the heat and glory. It comes down close to earth and then s...

Look at yourself in the mirror and tell me how you stack up against Jason Statham, Angelina Jolie or Katrina Kaif? Do you like what you see? No! Those are superstars of course, you moron! Sorry!  But truthfully, you will still say, I like myself with that little bit of protruding paunch. Now, don't take that stomach in! You do have a big paunch! So stop sucking your breath in.  The pimples come and go as and when they like, you say! Maybe I am becoming younger. No way, you are getting older and those pimples are a reminder to you to tell you that you haven't had sex for a long time. Hmmm! Don't tell me all your bs theories? C'mon! No sex, lots of pimples.  I know today my article may shock the hell out of you. But honestly, you better start taking care of yourself.  Now why do we waste ourselves in the first place? Here are some great answers. If you do not find yours please add it in the comments column for addendum!  I can't stop eating. I feel that it is in m...

Why are you confused? So lets try to remove your confusion first.  Open your laptop, take some moments to put it on. Let the screen come alive. Search for the created file and folder, open to the new list of things to do. Suddenly the calendar throws up a meeting in thirty minutes. You had forgotten about it. Your cell phone buzzes and you put in your fingerprint to open the home screen. There are a pile of whatsapp messages and some SMS'. You hurriedly scan through them. Suddenly you remember you were expecting a mail so open the check mail and a load of unanswered stuff loads up the screen. By the time you have finished the task the phone rings. You answer it and get frustrated beyond. There is some jerk trying to sell you some junk.  You have meanwhile meandered all over the place and its time for you to take the scheduled call.  So what really happened now? You were so distracted by technology that the one task you set out to DO was actually relegated to the dustbin. ...

The past returns in a loop! She packed his playthings, the towels and every other stuff that he needed to play in the sand and water at the beach. They both packed into the car and headed to the beach. She had called the child's father there so that he could meet with his child and bond with him. He had never met the kid and didn't know of his existence either.  She wished some day he would accept his flesh and blood. So they bundled off for the grand occasion.  While he arranged his stuff sitting on the sands, she undressed and got ready in her bikinis. She told her son to take care of the clothes and rest of her stuff while she went for the swim.  He ambled along the beach searching for his girlfriend. She had called him to meet her there. When he came to their favorite spot, he noticed a small boy sitting there along with her clothes and rummaging through the purse. He thought that the child was rifling through her things so he raised an alarm. He told the youngster to...

Dear Indiblogger Friends, I am writing my 300th blog on Indiblogger. I never thought I would continue here for such a long time. I have been blogging since 2003-4 but I lost my old blogs when some of the dot coms went down. Later I was much active on forums where I continued to write on spiritual subjects. My main focus has been to write on spiritual subjects which are not controversial in nature. Spirituality is for everyone and not God centeric alone. I have disciples from every type of religious or non religious groups. I am happy to see that there are some nice folks who read my blogs very regularly. I would like to thank each one of you for being there and encouraging me to write. Some of you have been writing comments which are well appreciated. My response may not be immediate since I write on an average about 2000 words per day in my website and other places. I also have satsangs throughout the day. My day starts from 4.30am and continues till 12 midnight. Unfortunat...

Why do we possess, when we know that nothing belongs to us? We know that we have to leave everything behind when we go! The waiter brought fresh glasses of water in which one was half full. Everyone drank from others except this one. Now, we don't drink from a glass which we are suspicious about, that someone else has drunk from. But it changes when we drink from our beloveds glass even if it has some remnants in it! We identify with I, me and mine!  Our possessiveness is seen in everything so we don't eat what others have left behind.  In spiritual, the disciple is first taught to ask from unknown people. To beg for food and shelter. This is to remove shame and the biggest obstacle called EGO.  People are possessive about their relatives, houses, food, clothing, etc.. Those who come into spiritual with such baggages of worldly trappings need to be freed from this idea of "mine," hence the Guru works in removing this ignorance from His disciples.  Those who believe t...

What is Good news? Do you know any media where I can find good news. Something that I can feel good about?  No! I am not talking about some books or comedy television series. They only make you laugh derisively. These are not what I am talking about. I truly and sincerely want to hear something good in this world.  I am not averse to hearing bad news but can I have some good news too! I don't love bitter, salty, pungent, obnoxious foods all the time. So can I have some sweets too?  You open a newspaper and you find crisis written all over the front page, rapes, market crashes, political mayhem, court cases, murders, fires, floods and droughts, violence and terrorist attacks, unrests, anarchy, etc.. Now show me some good news? None whatsoever. In the inner pages its all about relationship disasters, divorces, child care issues, sodomy and rapes, lgbt issues, gay marriages, etc.. Now come to the sports page. It's scandals, pin ups, bribery, doping, cheating, rains and pitch...

The store manager and the salesman.  In a very large supermarket, the customer was looking out for a washing machine. He scanned and assessed various machines. The salesman was trying hard to push a newer and fairly unknown brand. He was finally able to convince the customer to buy that costlier brand.  A few days later, the machine stopped working. He came back to the store and lodging a complaint, went away happily. The service engineer came to repair and the dream run lasted only a month after that.  The customer was infuriated and went back to the store to get the refund or replacement for his machine. Alas, he was so angry that he yelled all over the place. He told the salesman how bad his machine was and even his service. The argument heated up and finally the customer demanded to see the manager.  The manager was very apologetic and gushed all over the customer. The customer was so adamant that in his frustration, he called the store and the salesman names. ...
