Krsna's Teachings

We have all faced this dilemma of shortage of time. We want to do certain things in life which are extremely important but we can't find time to do them. We are always running after things and never able to catch them. Why does that happen?  Let us look at our normal life and you will realize how we have very little time left to do certain things. A man or woman gets up, does the morning ablutions and runs to work. Comes back extremely tired and just wants to rest or sleep. Where can these busy people find time to do anything at all?  Then a few years after marriage, there is hardly anytime to even have a sexual intercourse. Everything becomes a burden and time consuming affair. It is as if you have to write a calendar appointment to do something important. That too, it becomes a chore so you mostly give it up. Or get on with it as an obligation and finish it very quickly.  Look at the Thanksgiving day or Christmas abroad, Diwali or Dusshera day in India, it has just lost its charm

The word of God is being disputed today. I was reading somewhere that the holy books like Bible or Bhagvad Gita which are considered the words of God, today, has changed over the years so it can't be word of God. There has been tremendous amount of manipulation by adding stuff or removing some things which are wrong in recent times so how would that be the true word of God? This is mentioned by some scholars.   Take for instance the story of stoning of the lady wasn't there in the Bible in the beginning but later it got added. Similarly there was no story of Jesus rising from the dead so how could it be true? These are supposed to be some addendum to the original texts. In the Bhagvad Gita also the people who disown Krsna think that He was just some king who was glorified as God. What is the truth here? Those who comment on it are already biased and don't want to listen to any kind of reasoning or the truth. They have already made up their mind that the holy books are fake

We love to possess things!  You are going away for a few weeks and you need to lock your house down. Do you know what it takes to shut and secure every little thing in the house?  It's a very lengthy preparation when you are away for some time. You get your stuff in order. Pay off all your pending bills including your electricity and phone bills. Your news vendor needs to be told about not dropping them during that time. Your milkman or egg/ fish vendor, if you have one needs to be informed. Your car has to be serviced and charged up, otherwise the battery won't come alive when you return.  Your doors and windows are secured. Your fridge has to be emptied and your water mains and electrical mains have to be shut down. Your gas connection has to be disconnected and kept away.  If you have kids, you have to take leave of absence from school or college if you are going during the class times. Vacations are different since the occasion is joyous in most cases, you prepare a truck l

Today, man has very little or no belief in God! No doubt, there are those diehard fanatics too at the other end of the spectrum.  Why doesn't my son believe in God? This question has been asked by many people nowadays. When I say son it could also mean a daughter. What could be the reason for disbelief or moving towards atheism? Parents are at wits end to try telling their kids to come with them to places of worship, but the children aren't responding positively.  Let me tell you the one single reason for that happening but first I will have to give you some background. The kids today are very intelligent and have clear logic. Things like faith or belief in some invisible being won't get their attention. They live in an age of modernization and technology. Everything works with the flip of a button or a tap on the screen.  These evolved kids or young people have learnt in school or college methods of arriving at conclusions with careful analysis and using perfect logic. Hav

Why is God so unfair? Why does God give to the undeserving and not to you? Why does the stupidest person end up with the most coveted trophy? When you hear the story of some young girl who came out of Instagram and told the truth, you are aghast and feel cheated. Again you hear about some candidate who has a couple of criminal cases against him and he gets elected you feel terrible.  We always think that the truth is right in our faces but that is unreal and the truth is incognito. A few years ago some vague villager was elected as the leader of a country. He was a village bumpkin given to vagaries of his own gullible nature. He dug his nose and snored away in the government houses in front of the glaring media. The media made a mincemeat out of him and yet he continued. He never had finesse or appeared suave anywhere.  In another instance during the Miss Universe contest the most undeserving candidate got the crown whereas the so called deserving one got the runners up crown. In some

Have you met failures in life?  You will surely tell me that you have and it had been the toughest time of your life to get over them.  To start with you may say it all began at birth. You might have been born in a very poor family or maybe a reasonably well off one. Yet, the mood is set for failures right at the beginning of time.  You may say that on an average I have seen 7-8 failures and 2-3 successes. Your ratio would correspond to any other normal person. But you always have believed that you are not normal and a very unique human being. Your justification would be simply that your life has been full of struggles and nothing fell in your lap ever. You were the most unluckiest of them all. Your best friend or enemies got things on a platter and they were the least deserving. Am I right in my assessment of your situation so far? Tell me, tell me!! So do you think these so called lucky people never meet failures? It happens everywhere, even in spiritual. Do you think I fell out of h
