Today was Mother’s day and I saw many Christians stand at cemeteries where their mothers are buried. It is very nice of them to think of their mothers, but unfortunately due to their religion. They think that their mother will be resurrected from the grave one day in the future in the same body she died, that day is called the day of judgement. They do not realize that she has ‘passed away’. Where has she passed away to? another body. This teaching is unique to the Bhagavad-Gita and it comes directly from God, Lord Krishna.
At death the body is useless, it will never come back to life again as the Christian and Muslims believe. Within a few months the dead body decays and goes back to dust, where the body originates. But the real person, the soul is not dead. The soul is eternal and it transmigrates to another body at death of the body. We are the eternal soul and not the temporary body.

Someone wanted to know how to use the Gita to address practical issues in life. By learning the Gita, we will learn to deal with all issues in life. By regular study of the Bhagavad-Gita and other Vedic scriptures one will slowly realize the Gita and will be able to address all issues in life without thinking (no brainer). But it takes a lot of time and effort to achieve this. Just like to become a surgeon, it takes over 12 years of study and training after high school, then the surgeon can handle any surgery. He will know exactly what to do in all cases. In a similar way, when one realizes the Gita, he will instantly know what to do in any situation.
To my knowledge there is no one book or one presentation that would help anyone to realize the whole Gita. My website is based on many presentations/articles to address many issues in life and I am adding more and more material every month. One has to learn from many Swamis/preachers and this is the only way to realize the Gita in truth and the quickest way possible. One will NEVER realize the whole truth by only learning from one Swami/Preacher/Group. For example, there are some who have read the Gita many times and perform Deity worship, and chant Vedic mantras but they don’t even know what a Vaishnava is. Reading and knowledge realization are 2 different things.
“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.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 18.58)
If you learn the Gita at every opportunity, you will pass over all obstacles in life.

What is the Cause of Degradation?
Lack of spiritual knowledge is the root that leads to degradation of society. From this root there are many branches which include lack of preaching and impurity.
While in Vrindavan, I saw acres of land owned by BIG Vaishnava groups, awaiting cementation. Cows need raw land with grass and trees for their food, resting place, and survival. This knowledge is neglected or lacking. Everywhere I have seen cows eat plastic bags and garbage, because there is no grass left There is no raw land for the grass to grow. The cows are forced to eat plastic and garbage and there is hardly anyone preaching this important knowledge to the public.
Please STOP destroying raw land, save land for grass, trees, cows, birds, monkeys, and people. Plant trees and grass in your gardens and give to cows to eat. Preach this to your local Mandir and everyone you know.
Succhi and Mucchi
Many people are fooled, they think that if the body and clothes are clean, the person is pure (Succhi), but what about the mind? If the mind is mucchi, then what is the value in the body being Succhi?
Mucchi means the person has ego, desires, materialistic, treats people badly, miserly and so on.. The Bhagavad-Gita very clearly gives a list of the qualities that makes a person real Succhi. Unfortunately people do not read nor follow the scriptures. A person should be judged based on their actions and qualities developed and not their label nor their physical appearance (clean clothes etc..). This is very clearly taught in the Bhagavad-Gita.

Just as I was typing this message the lights went out. I had to re-start after the lights came back. In a similar way, our light (the soul) can leave the body at any moment without notice, then it will re-start (another body) anywhere on the millions of planets in any one of the millions of universes, in any one of the 8.4 million species.
We actually all come from Vrindavan, from the spiritual manifestation and eventually all souls will go back to Vrindavan. The Bhagavad-Gita mentions that all souls are part and parcel of Krishna, a part of Him. Since He is in Vrindavan, all His parts must also be in Vrindavan.
On my visit to Vrindavan, I fed the cows, devotees (everyone in Vrindavan should be considered a devotee), monkeys, and 1 pig. The whole purpose of pilgrimage is to change our consciousness for the better. Unfortunately most Hindus go on Pilgrimage and then head back home and they continue their sinful and ignorant life. They don’t change their mentality, they don’t give up their bad habits, they don’t give up sinful activities, they don’t give up their BIG bank balances, properties, and so on. People foolishly think visiting holy places is complete Bhakti. This is false, one has to change their consciousness for the better, this is real Bhakti. One does not need
to visit any holy place, because Krishna is everywhere and thus every place is holy once one realizes Krishna is everywhere. Going to holy places is certainly good and beneficial, but only for those who change their consciousness for the better. Not for those who only visit for the sake of visiting and as as outing to satisfy their flickering materialistic mentality.
The 3 most important changes that we need to make are as follows, This is the root of Bhakti, devotional service unto God. These are mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavatam as the legs of religion. Anyone who does not follow these is irreligious.
1. Truthfulness
One must always speak the truth, stand up for the truth, and side with the truth.
2. Mercy
All living beings are brothers and sisters, and thus, one must be kind to all his brothers and sisters. This teaching is unique to Sanatan-Dharma, and it comes from the most merciful Person, Lord Krishna (God). Kindness to animals is practiced by not killing them (vegetarianism and no leather). Kindness between human beings is practiced by being friendly and considerate to everyone. Consuming alcohol and drugs, gambling, and relationships outside of marriage cause suffering to families and especially to the women and children. Thus one should refrain from these sinful activities.
3. Charity
Donations should be made on a regular basis to accountable and worthy Temples, those engaged in the service of God, those engaged in preaching the Glories and Instructions of God, and the poor.

The old way was the golden way, the modern way is the degraded way.
Until about 50 years ago, everyone used to live together in one village. Everyone from the father’s side in almost one village or very close by and everyone from the mother’s side also very close by, at most 1 hour away. Nowdays the children live in different countries/states, the brothers/sisters in different countires/states, even the parents in some cases live apart. Even in the same home, people communicate by text and iphone instead of by face to face, which has now been replaced with facebook. This is human devolution, the personal human touch is gone. The modern human beings are no better than the animals who also live apart once the children are grown up in most species. Money is the only focus of life for modern man. No personal rouch. When contacting the IRS, human resources of corporations, utility companies and most organizations. It’s all automated answering and keypad entires. The human touch is gone. This is devolution of human consciousness.
The food eaten by modern humans, sums up the fact that modern man is sinking in ignorance. Most peole live on food that is frozen and heated in a microwave, fresh food is rare. By eating frozen and unfresh food, the person is in ignorance and slowly sinks further into ignorance.
“Food prepared more than three hours before being eaten, food that is tasteless, decomposed and putrid, and food consisting of remnants and untouchable things is dear to those in the mode of darkness.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 17.10)
Even the poor in India eat food that is cooked within 3 hours of being cooked, because they do not have a fridge, which is a blessing. In the West, most people store food in a fridge and eat for months after. This is human devolution.
The logo for Subway is ‘Eat Fresh’. Please follow this.

Follow what the scriptures teach and not what ignorant people do. Despite all the problems in India, Hinduism is still the purest of all religions, by far. I know this because I have studied the history and scriptures of all other religions. The diffenence is that when one crime is commited in India, the atheist and anti-Hindu media explode it to make Hinduism look bad. There are thousand times more rapes commited in the coutnries of other religions, but nobody reports them.
“Humility; pridelessness; nonviolence; tolerance; simplicity; approaching a bona fide spiritual master; cleanliness; steadiness; self-control; renunciation of the objects of sense gratification; absence of false ego; the perception of the evil of birth, death, old age and disease; detachment; freedom from entanglement with children, wife, home and the rest; even-mindedness amid pleasant and unpleasant events; constant and unalloyed devotion to Me; aspiring to live in a solitary place; detachment from the general mass of people; accepting the importance of self-realization; and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth – all these I declare to be knowledge, and besides this whatever there may be is ignorance.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 13.8-12)
Also you should know that most of the rapes in India are NOT commited by Hindus, but by non-Hindus. So don’t blame Hinduism.
The Vedic scriptures very cleary state that women should never be harmed, not even slapped. The non-Vedic scriptures clearly advocate rape. This is the difference between Hinduism and other religions. The rapist and trouble makers in India are not following Hinduism but other cultures. So don’t blame Hinduism, but other cultures which are influencing the ignorant Hindus. We say ‘Radha and Krishna’ and not ‘Krishna and Radha’. The women’s name comes first, even before God. This is the treatment of women in Hinduism.
Why put all the blame on the God of Hinduism for all the trouble in the world, what about the God of other religions?
The fact is that God is One, and we have free will. It’s due to this free will that we can use it properly or misuse it. Lord Krishna has created an infallible justice system to ensure everyone who miuses free will be punished. This is the Law of Karma. In other religions they have no such belief, they believe it’s all by chance. They cannot explain why people suffer or enjoy, they cannot answer why different species exist and so on. Only the Vedic scriptures answer all questions and in detail. This is because the Vedic kowledge comes from God and not man.
Material existence means free will and thus Lord Krishna does not interfere with our free will. But He will punish those who misuse it. Not a blade of grass can move without the sanction of Lord Krishna, but this does not mean that nothing bad will happen, because we have free will. Due to this people will do bad things, but they do not realize that they cannot get away with it. They will be punished.
There are 8.4 million species of living beings and based on how the human being behaves, the soul will transmigrate from one species to another based on the deserves and desires. So nobody gets can get away with anything. Lord Krishna Himself is the witness to everything, because He is omnipresent, present in the heart of all living beings and also in every atom.
With regards to fake Gurus, yes this is true, but in reality there is a very good chance of knowing God from Vedic Gururs, there is ZERO chance of knowing God from non-Vedic Gurus. Also the Gurus of other religions are far worse than the Vedic Gurus. I know this, because I have studied others. The whole world Media is trying to promote non-Vedic religions and trying to destroy Hinduism, and thus so much false and misleading propaganda on Hinduism. Look before you leap, learn the facts and then decide. Don’t listen to the demonic Media, don’t accept everything you hear as the truth. Find out yourself.
Read, study, and follow the Bhagavad-Gita, there is no other scripture like it in the world. I know this because I have studied the scriptures of all other main religions. Hinduism is the only religion where there is a real, seen and proven God. It’s impossible to know God as a real Person from other religions.
“Ayam bandhurayam neti gananā laghuchetasām,
Udāracharitānām tu vasudhaiva kutumbakam”
“One is my brother and the other is not – is the thinking of a narrow-minded person. For those who are broad-minded, liberals, or noble people, the entire world is a one big family.” (Maha Upanishad: Chapter 6, Verse 72)

In your present human form of life you are blessed with the rarest of all opportunities, the unlimitedly great good fortune of being able to awaken your original enlightened consciousness, your Krishna consciousness and thus regain your original, eternal identity in the pastimes of the Supreme Lord in His unfathomably sweet transcendental abode. Fully take advantage of this opportunity by totally and completely surrendering yourself under the representative of the Lord, the bona fide spiritual master. By so doing you will attain the supreme opulence, pure love of God. (Sankarshan Das Adhikari)

Humility is a very important quality for a preacher and for all
Humility is practised by exhibition and not just by saying it. I recently saw this humility exhibition in Devkinandan Maharaj. Meena gave him a book which has teachings of Lord Chaitanya and he used what he read in the book in his very first katha afterwards. This was as follows:
“We should consider ourselves lower than a blade of grass and give all respects to others and expect none in return.”
This also proves that book distribution does work. Some people do read, practice, and distribute the knowledge to others.
A preacher is open minded and is willing to listen and learn from others too. It’s not a one way street, a two way street. Knowledge should be given and also taken from others. There is nobody in the material creation (except for Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma) who has all knowledge. We are all in ignorance, some in more ignorance and some less. I have carefully studied and noticed that those outside the Vedic path are in complete ignorance.
I can very clearly see that people are suffering and enjoying due their past actions (Karma). Those outside the Vedic path, cannot see this, becuase they are in gross ignorance.
God is eternal and thus by now He must have appeared, declared, and proved Himself. Those outside the Vedic path believe in an invisible, formless, unknown, unseen, and unproven character in a book as God. They are in complete gross ignorance.

Q: Why does God allow animals to be killed and eaten by other animals?
A:
We have to think outside our tiny head and life to realize the truth.
Humans have free will and thus if human beings eat flesh then they will be put in bodies so they can enjoy flesh daily and naturally, in animal bodies. That’s why animal bodies exist, so that some souls can enjoy animalistic life due to their desires and deserves.
The souls in animal bodies are ex-humans, they were once in human bodies. Human beings who eat flesh will be put in animal bodies after this life or in the future lives.
God is most merciful and fair to all living beings. Kill and be killed, eat and be eaten, an eye for an eye, this is the infallible Law of Karma.
Yes it is sad to see animals being killed and eaten, but we cannot understand this unless we see the whole picture. If we knew the past of all the souls, we could clearly see and understand everything. It’s for our own good that we don’t know the past, otherwise our present life will be difficult to live. For example if one was murdered in their last life and could remember it, this life would be hellish. So it’s for our own good we don’t know the past of ourselves and others.
We have to accept everything that happens to us and others as what we deserve and desired.
There are many beggars on the street, we feel sad for them, but we know what they behaved badly and thus they became beggars. They deserve to be beggars, it’s due to their own doing that they are beggars. In a similar way the souls in animal bodies are suffering due to their own doing. The souls in human bodies are also suffering.
There are 8.4 million species or bodies that the soul can occupy, exactly based on its desires and deserves.

The entire world civilization is increasing in chaos, which is gradually dragging the human beings to a position lower than the animals. The modern day political, educational, cultural and business leaders do not even have the slightest clue of how to solve the world’s problems. To the contrary they are instead leading the world into rapidly accelerating degradation.
Only by following Sanatan-Dharma, can the world be saved from degradation. Unfortunately most Vedic followers are only by name, because they do not follow the Vedic principles. One must follow the Vedic principles and spread them to others. All the Vedic principles are clearly explained on this unique web site.

Change Your Consciousness
The whole purpose of devotional service of reading, chanting, fasting, pilgrimage and so on is to change your consciousness for the better. If after doing all the devotional activites, one does not become a better human being, they have learnt nothing.
– Lower your ego

– Become more charitable
– Give up attachment to material objects
– Be kind to everyone
– Give up greed
– Share your possession with others
– Meditate on Krishna, serve Krishna, listen to Him (Bhagavad-Gita)
– Realiza that material life is temporary, so why get attached to worldly possessions, realize that there is eternal life after this body
– Think of the life after this one
– Prepare for the life after this one
– What have you done for others?
– What have you done for your country?
– What have you done for humanity?
Please focus on all the above.

Leave behind your anxiety, fear, hate, delusion, temporality, and illusion. Come on a fantastic, most exhilarating journey to your inner self situated far far beyond the constrictive, debilitating confines of time and space. Your inner self is who you really are. You are not the external covering, your temporary material body. You are an eternal, youthful, spiritual being qualitatively one with God. So come out of foolish misidentification with your outer shell and emerge as liberated soul overflowing with eternity, knowledge, and bliss.
You are the eternal part of Lord Krishna, the only proven God.

What is ignorance?
1. There are many parents who will spend more than $200,000 on making their children into lawyers, doctors, and engineers. They will also send them thousands miles away from home to other states and other countires.
How much will they spend on their children’s spiritual education? ZERO.
Even if there are spiritual education classes within walking distance from their homes, still they will not send.
2. Children will study more than 500 books in their education years. Will the Bhagavad-Gita be one of them? No.
3. Parents will buy their children iphones, xphones, yphones, mphones. So their children will spend all day looking at their devices, talking non-sense or playing non-sense games. Their whole consciousness is fixed on the devices. Waiting for that next call, waiting for that next text message, surfing the web to read who is doing what and so on.
Even in Temples and programs, children are completely hooked to the devices. They won’t put it down.
In the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krishna clearly states think of Me [Krishna], but the Gita of the children is ‘always think of the iphone/yphone/xphone’.
Lord Krishna states fix your mind on my transcendental form, but the Gita of the children is fixed your mind on the transcendental screen of the iphone/yphone/xphone.
4. Even most parents have their consciousness fixed on the phone screens all day. Some people say ‘I only have the iphone/xphone for emergency’. What emergency?
The real emergency is that life is short and we should not waste it on talking non-sense all day, texting non-sense all day, playing games all day, and fixing our mind on the silly iphone/xphone screens. Many of us have been wondering from one body to another for millions of life times, and to achieve a human birth is rare. To get a human birth in a Vedic family is extremely rare. Don’t waste it on silly devices. Fix your mind on Lord Krishna, and go back to Godhead at the end of this short life.
Even 5000 years ago, the yogis had more advanced technology than today. They had the ability to not just talk to someone thousands of miles away, but they could see and hear in real time what was going on thousands of miles away. Also many yogis could instantly transfer themselves thousands of miles away back and forth in an instant. But those who have some intelligence will realize that these abilities are completely useless, because they only lead to attachment to material life.
The real aim is to go back to the spiritual manisfestation and live eternally in complete bliss. This is something that can NEVER be achieved in the material creation.

“In this material world all are lost souls wandering aimlessly birth after birth through the 8,400,000 different species of life. Sometimes they are demigods. Sometimes they are ordinary humans. Sometimes they are plants. Sometimes they are animals. In all cases they are out of touch with the actual meaning of their existence. Thus they must continue suffering in so many ways. Therefore the greatest necessity is that they should get the road map to eternal freedom, i.e. they should be taught the art of how to fully surrender themselves to Lord Sri Krishna. This and only this will liberate them from their suffering and enable to regain their original all-blissful consciousness.”

We must behave properly as mentioned in the Bhagavad-Gita and shown by great devotees like Hari Das and others. We should set good examples so others will follow our path of Bhakti.
It is very important to only accept teachings which are based on scriptural backing, otherwise it’s pure speculation.
Ignorance is the cause of irrligious ideologies.
“Humility; pridelessness; nonviolence; tolerance; simplicity; approaching a bona fide spiritual master; cleanliness; steadiness; self-control; renunciation of the objects of sense gratification; absence of false ego; the perception of the evil of birth, death, old age and disease; detachment; freedom from entanglement with children, wife, home and the rest; even-mindedness amid pleasant and unpleasant events; constant and unalloyed devotion to Me; aspiring to live in a solitary place; detachment from the general mass of people; accepting the importance of self-realization; and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth – all these I declare to be knowledge, and besides this whatever there may be is ignorance.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 13.8-12)

What is the secret to knowledge realization?
By listening to only one Guru, one can never learn everything or realize everything. One must listen to many Gurus to get the most knowledge realization. Also one must pay the bills to keep the services on, in a similar way, give some guru daxmin and the knowledge will be released to you.
The Bhagavad-Gita or any Vedic scripture compiled Ved Vyasa, does not mention any particular Guru or Group to follow. Thus one must respect all and disrespect none. There are many who are narrow minded, don’t be one of them.
Leave your door open (welcome guests), this is an invitation for the best guest, Lord Krishna
Leave your mind open (not narrow minded), this is an invitation for more knowledge
Leave your heart open (be kind to all), this is an invitation for the divine qualities to manifest (humbleness, mercy, steadiness, equal vision)
Leave your wallet open (be charitable), this is invitation for wealth and practice of renunciation

What is Cement Mentality?
Everywhere in India, people are turning raw land with grass and trees into cement with buildings. Even the Temples, who are supposed to set good examples, are first in line to turn raw land into cement.
The raw land is needed for grass and trees, which is needed by the cows for eating and resting. The trees provide much needed shade, and absorb the bad gas, carbon dioxide. The trees and grass provide cool air, reduce the dust, reduce the pollution, provide a place for people to rest and relieve the stress of life, and provide much needed pure oxygen. Just the site of green grass and trees reduces the stress in humans. The birds, cows, monkeys, pigs, goats, and the humans, all very much need open land, grass, and trees.
The fools have lost it, no knowledge, no consideration for the enviornment, no consideration for the cows and other animals. No consideration for the future. Everything is based on money and temporary benefits.
In our house in India, we have around 15 trees, and green grass which is cut every 2 weeks and feed to the cows. Please do the same and ask others also.
STOP BUILDING, SAVE LAND, PLANT TREES, PLANT GRASS

There are only 2 boats in the material creation, the boat of transcendental knowledge and the Titanic. Take your pick.

The point is that we need to give up material attachments, bad association, and erase our sins, only then we can go back to the spiritual creation, Vaikuntha. If we have any material desires or attachments, we cannot board the flight to Vaikuntha,
21APR2015
“From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one who attains to My abode, O son of Kunti, never takes birth again.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 8.16)

Why bother with Bhakti (devotional service)/Religion?
Someone told me why bother with Bhakti, we suffer anyway. The atheists suffer and so do the devotees, so why bother with religion/Bhakti?
Yes the devotees also suffer from material life in the same way that the atheists suffer. But the difference is that for the devotees this will be the last birth in the material creation. At the end of this short life, the devotees go back to the Kingdom of God, called Vaikuntha and live eternally in the same body that is completely beautiful, full of bliss, full of knowledge, no old age, no disease, no disease, and no trace of any misery. The atheists will come back, life after life to suffer in the metrial creation. Also in this life, the daily actions we take are determined by the consciousness we have developed. By engaging in Bhakti, we purify our consciousness and thus we develop better jugdment skills which will result in making the right decisions which will make our life less miserable. For the non-devotees they only become more materially contaminated and they go deeper into ignorance and make the wrong decisions in the life, which will result in more suffering in this life and defijnitely after this life for thousands of lifetimes. This is the difference it makes between doing Bhakti and not.
By studying the Bhagavad-Gita, we sharpen our intelligence and develop good judgement skills in all fields of life, including business, work, social, and engineering.
“Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 18.66)
Here Krishna states that the karma we have accumulated in many life times will be erased bit by bit if we engage in Bhakti unto Him. There is no doubt that devotees and non-devotees suffer from cancer and other miseries of material life, but Krishna states that by doing Bhakti, He will erase our sins, and so we will suffer less and at the end of this, He will completly erase all our remaining sins, and take us back to His abode. Thus we should listen to Krishna and not some atheist or the foolish.
I have read many parts of the Bible, Koran, and had many discussions with their followers. They could not answer the most basic question that a relisionist should ask “Can you describe God?”. By following the non-Vedic religions, one will NEVER know God. He will just be a name in a book, invisible, unseen, unknown, and unreal.
Lord Krishna is the only seen and proven God.

How to reduce our Pride?
We can reduce our pride by first accepting that we have pride and then changing our consciousness to become humble, tolerant, forgiving, compassionate, free from the mentality of ownership of anything, and completely surrendering unto Lord Krishna and enaging in His service via deity service, chanting, kirtans, preaching, etc…
This post first appeared on Srimad Bhagavad-Gita Audio And Teachings Online, please read the originial post: here
