Better now than later, the more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed in war!

Sweat in peacetime to lessen bleed in war!!

Recent times have been quite mourning times. Terrorism and natural calamities are at its worst. Apart from these there are certain situations which are beyond one's control, and it becomes life threatening. In these kinds of situations we depend on our quick decision making skill or the immediate family or friends to bail us out of the problem. Sometimes we use our position or money to get us out of tough times. So generally the four things, money, youth, relatives and intelligence are depended upon. However the scriptures call these are fallible soldiers.  All of us want an infallible protector who will save us in all dangers. Who that could be???

Please send back your answers on the basis of scriptures!! with quotation... :)

Fallible Soldiers!

Friendship is important Part 1 Posted: 23 Jun 2011 03:14 PM PDT   (Kadamba Kanana Swami, Stockholm, June 2011) I think that the only thing that can really bond us together is friendship. Just common acceptance of Krsna as the Supreme Lord – yes, will bring us together from time to time – we will come together at the temple, festivals, but friendship will take us so much further. Because it is in friendship, real friendship, that we are going to stimulate each other, so much more than just being colleagues! I've often given this example of how we can be together like colleagues. We're all devotees of Krsna and we're all colleagues. We're all devotees in the same temple, we're all colleagues. We're all chanting Hare Krsna, we're all colleagues. We're all dancing in the kirtan party as colleagues. But there's no friendship – not enough. If there's friendship, then friendship is different. Friendship is like a family spirit. When your colleague is not performing well, it disturbs your work, and you say: "Get it together! You know they'll throw you out of here one of these days if you don't get it together." That's what you say to a colleague. But to a family member, you say: "When in the world are you ever going to get it together? But we can't throw you out because you're part of the family." That's different. That's friendship, and in that friendship there is trust. We know we are going to be accepted. We don't have to have a masquerade, where everyone acts out to be a pure devotee in a Hare Krsna community. We can just be more honest. If there's friendship, we can just be who we are, and still be accepted, and in that way, we can get some real human support, which is what we need. This is what we need!

One should understand that his father's father died,his father
would've died(or dying ;) by one's activities) he'll also die&the
children born for him will also die.One should study the purpose of
life from the revealed scriptures to stop coming back to this
miserable state of living in material body. It takes countless lives
to even come to the understanding that living in this material world
is miserable. Atleast we who read this theoritically are fortunate
enough to understand the situation and work towards the solution.
There are so many people living this life for the sake of living
without this knowledge.

First step towards self realization is understanding that we are suffering!

Air hostess have to stick to a particular weight limit.Otherwise they
will be sacked.So it means they too have to maintain a diet&cannot eat
all they like.Not only the air hostess the beauty contestants too. It
all means they have to stay in harmony with material nature to keep
things appealing.
Similarly we also have to bear the austerities for our Spiritual
progress&keep ourself intact in our real constitutional position to
stay high forever.Otherwise we cant check the forces of material
nature which is very strong and our tendency and inclination is to go
with it due to our lethargy or laziness. The austerities are
satisfying Lord Vishnu and so the forces of material nature will not
have any effect on the ones undergoing austerity. Just like when I
went to a bank in off hours, the security refused to even let me in.
But I called the manager&the manager just waved his hands from inside
and security has no control over me from then on.

Austerities are an integral part of even material life
