Krsna's Teachings

Have you called someone a donkey or a monkey in your life? I am sure you have called others by names of certain animals or birds too. Does it tell you something?  When we say that you are behaving like a monkey meaning that he is jumping up and down and cannot remain steady. Similarly we have called some people as snake, which translates into them being poisonous or venomous in nature. These people always spew poison. Then there are those who are always irritable and nasty, having a scowl on the face constantly, never in a proper smiling manner would they ever talk to you. What would you call such type of folks? Animals of different kind of course. A vicious cat which hisses at you. A jackal or a fox would signify a sneaky creature.  A slippery person is like an eel. A sleepy and lazy person would be a sloth bear. Another type would be hungry and voracious like the polar bear who hasn't eaten for half a year. We say something sounds fishy when people are sneaky. Sometimes you ...

The universe does correction to balance itself out. Just like your own body, which uses simple techniques to balance itself out. Even relationships!  You are wondering what I am talking out. So here goes.  You might have noticed, you get into a bout of illnesses like cold and flu or injure yourself continuously at the same place often. Once you get out of it, you notice you have dropped weight and look healthier or fitter, not fatter! You might have put on a lot of unwanted weight so the body was shedding it. Then you vow to keep yourself in shape and join a rigorous activity of long walks or join a gym. But in a few weeks time, you are back to your old bloated self, if you do not address it properly.  Now take the case of Mother Earth. There are floods and deluges after droughts. Sometimes the ice cap melts and sometimes it brings up the ice age. Mountains are razed to the ground and water is moved away to create lands. The climate changes from hot to cold and deserts ar...

Man has stopped taking responsibility for everything that is happening around him. He has God to blame it on. God is an easy scapegoat since He is invisible and not to be found. Then again, man loves to pass on the blame to others and here he has someone to do it on to. Even though man cannot find Him being unmarked, God is the marked one in the market for playing Tag!  Everyday we are losing believers and moving closer towards becoming a skeptical society. Religion is loosing its charm and the belief in God is waning. What is the reason for this disbelief? Should God do something about it or should man?  God is believed to be some sort of magical person with special qualities. He is capable of doing some impossible stuff which is beyond human understanding. But today man is not able to see any magic in this world. He sees that God lets good humans die and the bad thrive. He sees atrocities committed against the poor and downtrodden. He sees false prophets fill their own coffe...

Do you love your job? Most of us will answer vehemently with a negative. So my next question will be, why not? You will say there are too many contentious issues like a tardy boss, unhelpful colleagues, long working hours, terrible pay, too much of travel and so on. I get it, you have experienced the disgust and pressures of work.  When you landed the job, you were on top of the world. You got the best break of your life. You found every little thing over there more wonderful every single day. You wondered why other companies or employers couldn't think about those little efficient things or methods for their own companies. You went there negotiating your terms of pay, work conditions, etc. but those were in comparison to your past knowledge. You surely had landed the best possible job of your life time.  Soon, the dream wears off and reality sets in. Everything is not hunky dory as it seemed before. Your boss was a brute who made you slog day in and out. Overburdened you with...
