Almost all the time we complain. Sometimes we may be vocal about it but most of the time we silently complain. Why did it happen to me? Why always bad things happen to good people like me?  We always consider ourselves a victim of an unjust system. Occasionally we console ourselves philosophically that may be its happening because of my some previous bad karma which I might have done unknowingly!

Yes, in our life’s journey we face adversities which either we may foresee or it may fall on us like

So our first business is that if we want to stop this repetition of birth and death -- and sometimes we are very happy, sometimes we are very unhappy, sometimes we are in fearfulness, sometimes in so many other calamities -- then our first business is that we shall stop all these material desires. Anyabhilasita-sunyam [Brs. 1.1.11]. To stop means... The desire cannot be stopped. Because we are living entities, life, we are not dead stone, that desires will be stopped.

The Bhagavad-Gita is an authoritative statement given to Arjuna by Lord Krishna. It must be borne in the mind that the Bhagavad-Gita was spoken on a battlefield. Before the battle, Arjuna declined to fight with his own kinsmen. After the Bhagavad-Gita was spoken, he changed his mind and fought. There was not much time for this discussion -- one hour at the most -- for the opposing armies were already lined up, and eager

Is the material body, simply a bag of stool, urine, blood, mucus, and other horrible things?

Once upon a time a prince met a very beautiful young girl. Immediately upon seeing her beauty, the prince decided to marry the beautiful girl. But she didn’t want to marry him, as she knew that the prince was only interested in her material senses, her beauty, and not her real self.

Cutting through the web of illusion,
The overflowing ocean of mercy Sri Nityananda Rama
Ordained that the flood of love of God bestowed by Him

Yesterday I received a letter from you. Many days prior to this I received another letter from you before  I went  to the western states  of In- dia.  Because  I was  travelling to  different places  I could  not  reply  to you  timely.  From the  Gaudiya magazine or from  the  devotees you  may  have  heard

Sātvata  Tantra 4.49-53

sarva-bhakti-vyatikara  sva-guror vāg anādara

dve e a nāraka yāti kurvan bhaktim api dvija

One  who  out  of hatred acts contrary to all the rules  of devotional service,  disrespecting the  words of guru, goes  to hell,  in spite  of performing bhakti.

do a-d   yā do avān syāt tatra do a-phala   bhavet martya-d    yā k ta sarva bhavet kuñjara-śauca-vat

One  who  sees  a fault  is possessed of that same  fault  and  will  suffer  the  result  of that fault. All the endeavors
