HURRICANE in LIFE:

With two back to back Hurricane Harvey & Irma many things disrupted in many people's life who ever came across on their path ( Irma is not done yet ). All of a sudden life become very chaotic, seems to be very troubling, disturbing and devastating.......everything is falling apart. People may feel that the universe is hostile toward them but we can't control Mother Nature.

Vedic Scripture SB 1.1.2 says in this world everyone of us forever affected by three fold of material miseries.

1. Misery arise from our own body & mind.

2. Misery inflicted by other living being. 

3. Misery caused by natural catastrophes over which one has no control.

Sometimes while driving on expressway we may have seen signs at the road work says " Temporary Inconvenience , Permanent Improvement". But in real life it is other way around " Temporary Improvement, Permanent Inconvenience".

SB: 10.14.58 says padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām:  There is struggle & danger at every steps in our life.

Hurricane like situation comes in many people's life. It is good to know that life hasn't always given us raw deal - we have had many things fall in place for us. Whenever we have achieved anything substantial it was not because of our efforts alone, but because of many things beyond our control falling in place. Everyone has to go through good and bad phases in life. Just as things have fallen in place in the past, they will fall in place in the future too. We just need to keep plugging on without becoming disheartened.  

"WHENEVER THINGS SEEM to FALL APART, REMEMBER WHEN THINGS HAVE FALLEN in PLACE".

Let's pray for Irma & Harvey victims and wishing for quick recovery in their life.

MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION & SOURCE:

I am inspired to hear & read Vedic Scriptures & other philosophy by regularly hearing Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale known as Dadaji ( speak on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra. 

I also hear and read everyday the discourses & literature on Vedic thoughts from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples ( HH Bhakti Rasamitra Swami, HH Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, HH Bhakticharu Swami, Urmila Devi Dasi, HH Sivarama Swami, HH Radhanath Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu ( Gujarati & Hindi) Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......). 

FYI: Good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com ( Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures ). Hearing & reading these scriptures, Eating Sanctified Pure Food and Chanting Vedic Mantra daily are purifying to our senses, nourishing to our heart ( Soul ), transcendental to our consciousness and uplifting to our emotions.

It is always good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. I am posting articles based on Vedic scriptures and expressing my opinion, thoughts, understanding & emotions. Writing/sharing the articles is my Devotion to God/Gita/Guru. Of course I use Smartphone, Google, Pexels search to collect some data. Thanks to Facebook & Social media for providing me the platform.

Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE.

Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of Guru & God ( Krishna , Absolute Truth ).

NOTE:

I use the word Hearing instead of Listening when it comes to Scriptures. Because Scriptures are so potent that simply by Hearing them even if you don’t try to interpret or analyze or understand them still there will be passive positive effects on our mind & senses.

We can follow either Quran, Bible, Jainism, Buddhism, Gita or any other Philosophy that makes sense to us, purify us , elevate our consciousness and qualify us to understand the God and instill the love for God & his creation. ( whichever way we can understand the God, Form or Formless..or Universal Consciousness or Energy ...etc ).

Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion & Depiction ( means image, picture...etc ) but try to understand him by Definition through Scriptures. Transcendental subjects of God & his creation can not be understand by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why circle is circular? Just by definition circle is circular similarly by definition God is unborn, complete, unlimited, infinite, eternal, the Absolute Truth the source of everything, cause of all causes. 

I see the God besides above mention qualities as a eternal living person ( not a abstract or some kind of light ) known by name Krishna means who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, form, abode, many incarnation, activities, qualities, associates, full of wisdom, bliss, cause of all causes.
