Prabhuji,
I am a 22 year old boy named Gaurav. From the past few months, I feel nothing good is happening in my life. I am a college student. But even after so much hardwork I am not getting the results. On the other hand my friends have achieved so much with less efforts. Also , i feel lonely and depressed as I feel even after following hare krishna path , I am not able to get peace or happiness.
I have lost a loved one from family in past few months. I feel I am not able to execute my duties and feel like loser. I just want this suffering to end or i think i will give up everything. Krishna always helps people but it seems as if he is also not listening. I have done anything bad to anyone but still my life is going this way. I feel slowly, my faith is going down. I just want this darkness to go away and find peace.
Hari bol.

Hare Krsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
Pls join an online devotees sanga,. YOu will feel better.
There is only one person who is winner in material world - the one who learns to leave this material world and go to spiritual world. Rest are all losers.
Dont worry and dont take everything so seriously. Learn to accept that everything in life will not go the way we want or even at the pace we want. When something has to happen, then only it will happen.
Can you do one thing - take a paper and start jotting down what you consider to be your blessings. It could be the smallest thing - I got up in the morning after a good night's sleep feeling fresh. My health is good. I enoyed the meal I had. Anything.
YOu will realise so many things are going good for you, for which maybe so many people are struggling.
Next thing is to realise that life is not a competition or a race. Do not compare with anyone. If you have to compare, do a positive job of it. What is your criteria for success - job/ degree/ girl friend/ money? All of these are temporary. What matters is inner peace and satisfaction. Do not look for appreciation, peace, satisfaction outside. Look within, you will find.
Have faith in Krsna. Trust him and continue to chant.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Radha Rasamayi DD

Congratulations! I don't think any one can be more fortunate than you!
Difficult times come in a devotee's life when Krishna wants to see the devotees faith in him. Even Srila Prabhupada's job and family life started going topsy turvy a little before he went for preaching to the entire world. Krishna shows his special mercy on those devotees who have served him for a very long time by taking away everything from them for a short duration of time to see whether they still love him and serve him. Yes, in the bhagavad gita he has said that whoever comes to him, he protects what they have and gives them what they need but I heard that when a devotee progresses more into devotion Krishna takes away all his material possesions. Lucky You!
Thank you so much prabhuji! Even I was facing difficult times in life and many hindrances in my spirituality but answering you, I understood that difficult times do happen in a devotee's life
Also, to overcome this, the best way is to chant. I heard a really nice quote in hindi which might help (main refers to lord krishna)
Tum mere naam mein toh main tumhare Kaam mein, tum apne Kaam mein toh main apne Dhaam mein!
Hope my answer helped! Hare Krishna
Very beautiful line "Tum mere naam mein toh main tumhare Kaam mein, tum apne Kaam mein toh main apne Dhaam mein!" Pranavi Mataji,
Thanks for sharing. Keep sharing.
