CORONA CHAOS:

                                        

For the last few weeks all of a sudden the whole world became very chaotic due to rapid spread of Coronavirus. The coronavirus has rapidly taken center stage in world affairs. WHO declares coronavirus is a pandemic. Many people have lost their loved ones; businesses, universities, sports events & transportation facilities are being shutdown and stock market has meltdown. Many people as well as some towns are in quarantine. Corona has made people’s lives miserable, everyone’s health is at risk, these kinds of unthinkable tragic events have been present in people's lives throughout the Globe.

We should all take necessary precautions (follow the CDC guidelines: frequent hand wash with soap, no handshakes, isolation of person who is corona positive, no crowded areas, see the doctor if you have flu like symptoms...etc) to remain corona free & stop the spread. Prevention is always better then cure. 

There is a lots of emotional stress created by coronavirus. Sometimes we may have seen signs at the construction sites which says "Temporary Inconvenience but Permanent Improvement". But in the material world it is other way around "Temporary Improvement, Permanent Inconvenience". This world is a place of dualities wherein Problems-No problems, Illness-Recovery, Birth-Death, Happiness-Sorrow......etc continue like Summer-Winter cycle throughout in our lives. 

SB: 10.14.58 says padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām: There is struggle & danger at every steps in our life. So much distresses, inconveniences, challenges & obstacles in people lives. Many issues to be resolved in healthcare, economy, environment, politics, at home, at work & at county level. We can not escape from this Chaos. Learning to live with chaos is more realistic, progressive and practical or pragmatic. Like running water flows around any obstruction, similarly we should march on through any challenges in our lives. 

Time to time we need to turn off our mind from external chaos & BREAKING NEWS (watching too much breaking news will break us emotionally... LOL 😂). We should spare some time to hear/read the scriptures & focus inward for our internal development. Spiritual knowledge helps us to temper our consciousness & strengthen ourselves to face the unexpected chaotic situations in the world. That does not mean to be selfish or irresponsible but it means be attentive but not attached to the situation. Have compassions for others. Be careful & carefree but not careless.

In short we have to learn to live with chaos like CORONA CHAOS. Don’t worry too much, don’t blame others, support each other emotionally, remain calm, keeps smiling & have full faith in medical care & GOD 😃.

Bg 2.14 —O son of Kuntī, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed. Vedabase.io

Have a Coronavirus  Free Life 😃.

NAMASTE 🙏.

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 or Hearing the 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.

TEXT 18: Gita 9.18: I am the goal, the sustainer, the master, the witness, the abode, the refuge and the most dear friend. I am the creation and the annihilation, the basis of everything, the resting place and the eternal seed.

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 ).
