    Pranam My Dearest Matajis. Hare Krishna.
    Sometimes you may feel uncertain and
    unsure of everything. You may be afraid
    to make decisions, dreading what the
    day will bring. You keep wishing if it 
    were possible to dispel all fear and doubt,
    and to understand more readily just what
    life is all about. Lord Krishna has given
    you the answers which too often go
    unheeded, but if you search His Words,
    you will find everything that is needed
    to lift you faltering spirits, and renew
    your courage, for Lord Krishna loves you
    very dearly and wishes you all happiness.
    With love and best wishes, take care, bye.

    Pranam My Dearest Matajis. Hare Krishna.

        Difficulties are sent to us to make our
        realization  more perfect. Each time we
        try to realize something and meet with
        a resistance or an obstacle or even a
        failure, know that it is for our own benefit.
        There is a blessing hidden. Of course,
        because of our difficulties, we may feel
        discouraged or uncomfortable. Difficulties
        are always blessings if we know how to
        face them. Difficulties will make us stronger.
        Difficulties come because they are
        possibilities in us. If in life everything is
        easy, then we may not make any spiritual
        progress. Because difficulties come on our
        way, it shows we have possibilities. The
        difficulties come always to make us 
        progress. The greater the difficulty, the
        greater the progress. Be absolutely
        convinced that everything that happens,
        happens in order to give us precisely the
        lesson we needed, and by being sincere,
        the lesson should be accepted with
        gratitude. With love and best wishes, take 
        care, bye.

    "we are not here for happy material life, we are here to serve and surrender". His Holiness Radhanath Swami Maharaja.

    --------

    it is like this only Mataji. This world is made of miseries. When we solve one appears another. Some one see it as a curse but some intelligent ones see it as a blessing. Blessing to loose attachment to this mortal world and attach ourselves to our real Home, real Family., real Husband...Krishna.

    So in this way we can live our life lamenting about sufferings but also we can live it by remembering Krishna and tolerating pains and at the end go back to Him. So choice is Yours.

    .........

    We think that money is not enough, this is not enough and that is not enough ...in this way always remain ungrateful. And we will know the real price of things which we have when we won't have them.

    So why not to be grateful for everything we have now? And use that in Krishna's service?

    We have eyes, ears, nice young body, we have husband, children ....home ...so why not to use them in Krishna's service? On the place of hankering for more things?

    Other than  service to Krishna?!

    Please hear these lectures from HH Bhakti Vikash Swami Maharaja.

    Sudama Vipra and his wife were so poor that they did not have even food to eat. So can we imagine that? But they were satisfied serving Krishna.

    Nowadays even if one is very poor as like Sudama Vipra can go to the ISKCON Temple and there honor Prasadam in this way maintain their lives. So no need to be fearful Krishna will provide everything.

      Thank you for the reply. it is true we should not be greedy and ask for more. But, inspite of not asking for more other than proper family life in order to provide proper guidance to our children, we are facing problem. I want my children to go in the path of Krishna service and for that, I believe proper family life is important as they will be learnign from their parents. I was asking how to give them proper guidance with regard to that area. In this Kali yuga, how much eve you try, you still get probs. I am praying to krishna as I feel thats the only way. I dont want my children to go in wrong way. I wat them to understand Krishna is there for them and you should serve Him.

      for these purpose, you need a proper family life, right? And the stigma is that the prob comes not from your side but from other side, indirectly. And for that indirect problem, you are blamed for it and made to suffer.

      I am worried with regard to that area.

      Please help me.
