MOTIVE BEHIND OUR ACTION:

                                       

Besides Eating, Sleeping, Mating & Defending the two most important things in our day to day lives are Work & Relationships; we can’t survive in this world without them. We can perform our prescribed duty & simultaneously build the relationships either as a parent, child, spouse, teacher, student, friend, employee, employer, president, citizen of a nation...or any other roll given to us.

Audio: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ts7p81wuoqdkzdn/MOTIVE%20BEHIND%20OUR%20ACTION.m4a?dl=0

What is our Motive or Driving force behind our work & relationships? How do we think while talking action & building the relationships, let’s introspect.

1. Fear: Many times we do work or maintain relationships with fear as a factor. If I don’t go to work, I will not get paid. If I don’t say good morning to my colleague, he or she will be upset. My wife will be upset if I don’t listen to her LOL🤣....a Fear mentality.

2. Desire: We want to work hard or maintain relationships based on selfish desires, monetary values, fame or some kind of gain. Sometimes too much desire for fame & power creates havoc & all kinds of scandals in society. 

3. Duty or Gratitude: Payback time. Someone has done a favoror to us in the past, and we would like to return the favor as our duty. It is my duty to maintain good relationship, good morality or ethics at work. I should be grateful towards society & nature for giving me plenty.

4. Devotion: The highest platform to perform our duty and build relationships. When we work & build the relationships unconditionally, there is inner satisfaction & joy. The best example in this world is a Mother (either human or animals) who works unconditionally with love & enthusiasm for her kids....And of course God Himself who works unconditionally for us since time immemorial.

It is mandatory for us to work & keep the relationships, so why not do so with a devotional attitude as opposed to fear, desire, or duty? There is no penalty for working with a devotional attitude and no extra payment for working with a desire attitude.... 🤣 choice is ours. With hard work or action, sometimes we cannot solve every current problem in this world, but with the Devotional attitude, we can minimize or resolve many upcoming problems in our lives either in family life, in friends circle, at work, in politics...or anywhere else in the world. With a devotional attitude & approach, we become very joyful and can make others joyful...A Win-Win strategy.

How do we rise from stage of Fear to Devotion? Every good or bad thing starts with Association. We naturally pick up the qualities of those with whom we associate. If one associates with thieves, one may also learn to steal. By the same principle, if one associates with people & Guru who have godly qualities and/or God himself by Hearing/Reading & Meditating his Scriptures, one can also become godly. Yes, We do have good quality within us but there is always room for improvement.

Bg 5.7 -- One who works in devotion, who is a pure soul, and who controls his mind and senses is dear to everyone, and everyone is dear to him. Though always working, such a man is never entangled.

Bg 18.58 -- If you become conscious of Me, you will pass over all the obstacles of conditioned life by My grace. If, however, you do not work in such consciousness but act through false ego, not hearing Me, you will be lost. Vedabase.com

With respect to everyone’s values & beliefs, whichever GUIDELINES ( Bible, Quran, Torah, Tripitaka-Buddhism, Agama-Jainism, Guru Granth Sahib-Sikhism, Gita or any other...) METHODS or WAYS work for us is good.

It is easy to say, but difficult to follow. I am in the same boat with everyone else, or I may even be behind, but thinking in the right direction will help us to go in the right direction.

FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT.

Thank You.

MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION , SOURCE & THE GURUS:

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

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

FYI: A good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com . Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures. Repeatedly hearing/reading & meditating the Scriptures, Eating Sanctified Pure Food and Chanting Vedic Mantras are nourishing to our heart (Soul), transcendental to our consciousness, purifying to our senses and thus helps us to overcome our weaknesses or deficiencies. Yes, we do have good qualities within us but there is always a room for improvement.

It is always a good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. Thanks to the Facebook & Social media for providing me the platform. Of course I use Smartphone & Google search to collect some data.

Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE. Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of the Guru & God (Krishna , Absolute Truth).

NOTE:
Many times a word Hearing is used instead of Listening when it comes to the 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 the Quran, Bible,Torah, Tripitaka-Buddhism, Agama-Jainism, Guru Granth Sahib-Sikhism, Gita or any other Philosophy which makes sense to us, purifies us, elevates our consciousness and qualifies us to understand God and instill the love of God & his creation. (whichever way we can understand God -- either Personal with many names or Impersonal as an universal consciousness & energy).

Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion or Depiction (means image, picture...etc) but try to understand him by the Definition through Scriptures. The Transcendental subject of God & his creation cannot be understood by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why is the circle circular? Just by definition, the 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 God, besides the above mentioned qualities, as an eternal living person (not a abstract or some kind of light) known by the name KRISHNA meaning one who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, forms, abodes, incarnations, activities, qualities, associates, is full of wisdom, bliss, and the cause of all causes.

Bg 9.17 -- I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support and the grandsire. I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable oṁ. I am also the Ṛg, the Sāma and the Yajur Vedas.

Bg:13-12:-- Accepting the importance of self-realization; and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth ( God ) – all these I declare to be knowledge, and besides this whatever there may be is ignorance. ( Vedabase.com ).

BHAKTIVEDANTA HOSPITAL: 

                                       

It is a Multispeciality Hospital with a Holistic approach & Spiritual care. Medical staff study the Bhagavad-gita & practices the philosophy while taking care of the patients.

Spiritual care, the most unique element of Bhaktivedanta Hospital, plays a large part in this. “In other hospitals, spiritual care is generally restricted to those who are terminally ill,” says Director Madhavananda Das. “But in ours, practically every patient will get spiritual care in some form.” Bhaktivedanta Hospital takes its approach very seriously, and has built a whole research department around spiritual care, with research papers regularly published in international journals.

The hospitals are holistic in two ways. While they predominantly practice allopathy, they provide alternative therapies for patients such as homeopathy, Ayurveda, naturopathy, yoga therapy and acupuncture too. They are also holistic in the sense that they care for the patient’s body, mind and soul. In addition, an atmosphere of “sattva guna,” or “the mode of goodness,” is created in the hospital through cleanliness, Krishna conscious pictures everywhere, the smell of incense and kirtan piped through speakers 24 hours a day.

in 1991, Bhaktivedanta Hospital was just a dream in the hearts of five young medical graduates, who had become devotees while in medical college – Madhavananda Das, Visvarupa Das, Giriraj Das, Dwarkadish Das, and Vaishnavananda Das. The group wanted to provide holistic care with a Krishna conscious ethos to as many people as possible.

Today, that clinic has grown into a state-of-the-art 210-bed hospital with 1,000 devotee staff. The hospital has six modern operation theaters, with a full-fledged heart center for angiography, angioplasty, and open-heart surgeries. The hospital sees around 250,000 outpatients per year and admits some 20,000 inpatients both from India and abroad. Has a full hospice care in Lord Krishna’s hometown of Vrindavana, and an eye hospital in Srimati Radharani’s birthplace Varshana.

VEDAS in RUSSIA:

                                      

Veda means Spiritual knowledge. Most of the issues in our lives can be resolved simply by learning the spiritual knowledge & changing our lifestyle. Without Spirituality in our background, Materiality (fame, position, power, wealth, beauty) can create lots of disturbances & degradation in society. Our relationships, health & happiness are also dependent on our spiritual foundation. 

Harinama Sankirtan (meaning Harinama with Music, Singing & Dancing in a Group) is the Sober way to take the Spiritual messages in the society without agitating, annoying or angering anyone (see the 3 minutes video).

Currently there are more than 200,000 devotees in Russia who have happily adopted the life style as recommended in Vedas to become HAPPY 😃....it is pretty amazing...😉. These Russian devotees are the cultural & spiritual ambassadors of India/Vedas. How this miracle happened?

In 1971 Srila Prabhupada got only 5 days visa to visit Russia.
Although he spent only five days in the country, those five days changed Russia’s history. During them, Prabhupada spoke with Professor G. G. Kotovsky, then head of the Indian and South Asian Studies Department of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. The conversation left a distinct impression on the professor, who had it published in an important Russian periodical. 

Prabhupada’s meeting with a young Russian seeker—Anatoly Pinyayev—that was the biggest catalyst to spread Vedic philosophy or Krishna consciousness in the then Soviet Union. Anatoly Pinyayev (Ananta-santi dasa) was the first Soviet Hare Krsna devotee. Because of his spiritual influence so many from the intelligentsia were interested in Krsna consciousness. The Russian authorities became afraid, everything spiritual was considered to be criminal and thus they started repressions. He was subjected to severe persecution at various Soviet psychiatric hospitals. He was heavily medicated, punished, torchered & imprisoned for many years for spreading the spiritual knowledge.......what a shame?

Bg 6.9 — A person is considered still further advanced when he regards honest well-wishers, affectionate benefactors, the neutral, mediators, the envious, friends and enemies, the pious and the sinners all with an equal mind.

Bg 6.10 — A transcendentalist should always engage his body, mind and self in relationship with the Supreme; he should always carefully control his mind. He should be free from desires and feelings of possessiveness.

TEXT 17: Gita 6.17: He who is regulated in his habits of eating, sleeping, recreation and work can mitigate all material pains by practicing the yoga system.

WHY VEGETARIAN?

                                       

This Blog is NOT based on sentiments, religion, culture or any nationality. I apologize in advance if I sound harsh or hurt anyones feelings. Don't be offended or take it to your heart❤️.

Audio: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xd0wm08jegm6ocr/WHY%20VEGETARIAN.m4a?dl=0

A Vegetarian or Non-vegetarian diet is a matter of choice; most of us have made that choice since birth based on our cultural or religious beliefs & upbringings. Currently, the majority of people in the world are non-vegetarian, but in their personal lives they have no intention to kill any creatures. If non-vegetarians have to kill any life by them selves and eat it, than many of them will change their mind & habits.. LOL 😂 🤣

WHY VEGETARIAN? A Few good reasons to be vegetarian are summarised below in bullet points.

1. Non Violence: Once Vegetables & Fruits ripen they will fall down on the ground anyway,...if you pluck them before the ripened stage, this is not a killing. The Tree is still alive & reproductive for next season.....or plant will die naturally at end of the season...we are not interfering with their life cycles.

2. Environmental Friendly: If more people turn vegetarian, we need to plant more vegetables, grains & fruits tree which are environmental friendly.....a win win strategy. On other hand we have to cut & burn more trees to fulfill the world’s meat demands. THE AMAZON is BURNING BECAUSE the WORLD EATS so MUCH MEAT. 

3. Saving Energy: The amounts of water used for cattle farms (to raise the cattle for slaughter houses) & energy spent to preserve meat products are not environmental friendly...it is one of the sources for Global warming. Any meat products remain at room temperature will start to decompose rapidly...vs...The grains can remain at room temperature for many months to years, vegetables & fruits for days to weeks....no waste of energy.

4. Kindness: It is very painful for anyone either vegetarian or non-vegetarian person to see the Slaughtering of innocent animals in mass....not pleasing to our heart. Animals also have families like we do. No mothers like their babies taken away from them. Like our pet Dogs, other animals are also loving by nature. NO ONE LIKES TO BE KILLED.

5. Health: For the purpose of health, vegetarianism is also favorable. In the long run, food has effects on our mind & body. PREVENTION is BETTER THAN CURE.

6. Higher Consciousness: Human species have the most evolved Consciousness among all other species. We can live with least harm to other species, including nature. EVOLUTION is BETTER THAN REVOLUTION.

7. Divine Arrangements: Fresh Vegetables, Fruits & Whole grains , Animal fat in form of Cow's milk & milk products are Mode of Goodness foods. They can easily obtained with LOVE without any RESISTANCE. Nature like to give to us by Divine arrangement.

8. Milks comes from Mother: Whoever gives milk to us is like our mother, we don't send our mother to slaughter house once she becomes weak & aged. Similarly a cow is like our mother; this world can not survive without cow milk, we should not send them to slaughter house once they become weak, aged and stop giving milk. 

9. Palatable Veggie Dishes: There are many palatable veggie dishes available in the market comparable to meat dishes to satisfy the cravings of our taste buds.

 Bg 17.8 — Foods dear to those in the mode of goodness increase the duration of life, purify one’s existence and give strength, health, happiness and satisfaction. Such foods are juicy, fatty, wholesome, and pleasing to the heart. Vedabase.io


With a conscious mind, we can choose our choice to be either vegetarian or Non-vegetarian.

Thank You.

CAN I CHOOSE my PARENT & PROGENY?  

                                       

Of course, I can choose my parent and progeny......but not a spouse ...LOL. 😂 😂 😻🤩😎. 

Dust to Dust: The journey of my life begin from the Dust even before the conception in mother womb, passes through various stages and will continues after the fate of material body into Dust. Life-Death cycle is like a Spring-Fall cycle...comes & goes and continues.

Just like my high school grades play a major roll in choosing my future college, similarly the status of my consciousness (mind, intellect & ego) at the time of death play a major roll in choosing my future parent..LOL 😂 😝 😆 vice a versa Consciousness of parent plays a major roll in choosing their future baby. In human body I have a chance to upgrade my Consciousness..so let’s take this chance again in this life..LOL 😂.

For better understanding & clarification, see the video link below. These seminars (total 4 videos title: Dust to Dust) are based on Vedic philosophy, will be appreciated by people who are walking on the spiritual path. These videos will be very helpful to a couple who is planning to have a baby. 

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrRNNRvHbMe_ju3Dq6wqxgwh22euccJKR

As always explained in very sound, eloquent, and thoughtful language with a deep, meaningful and transcendental message; followed by intelligent questions & answers.........by His Holiness Bhakti Rasamitra Swami.....A very pleasant & knowledgeable personality.

Bg 6.43 — On taking such a birth, he revives the divine consciousness of his previous life, and he again tries to make further progress in order to achieve complete success, O son of Kuru.

Bg 15.8 — The living entity in the material world carries his different conceptions of life from one body to another, as the air carries aromas. Thus he takes one kind of body and again quits it to take another.

Bg 15.10 — The foolish cannot understand how a living entity can quit his body, nor can they understand what sort of body he enjoys under the spell of the modes of nature. But one whose eyes are trained in knowledge can see all this.

Thank You.
