Facebook or Faithbook by Rupeshgauranga Dasa

Recently I visited one very special temple named 'Gita Mandir' where all the verses of Bhagvad Gita were engraved on the walls of temple but I was also amazed to see that hardly anyone was reading it!! Visitors were busy with their cameras to have own photos. I also observed them putting photos immediately on social networking sites to tell others that they are at holy site. People forgot the purpose why they were at that place(to read Gita), they were taking advantage of place in other way.

Facebook has become addiction for many, as soon as they get up in the morning they look for notifications, before sleeping they check how many 'Like' my post, and throughout the day they are thinking which photo of mine should I post to get maximum likes and comments. Facebook is good way to get entertainment and some inspiration here and there but apart from that it only sucks away our energy and time that everyone of us knows very well, still we can't give it up why? Because we don't know that there is more advanced social networking site and that is 'Faithbook'. If we make account on Faithbook, then our taste for Facebook will automatically go down because Faithbook provides extraordinary benefits.

What's this Faithbook? It is Bhagavad Gita. Gita is not just some religious book but it's a book of inspiration, management and transformation. Facebook only shows our face value, how beautiful or handsome we are but Gita reveals our heart value, how much lust, envy, greed we have and how to deal with it. Lord doesn't bother about our face but about our heart and mind. Facebook virtually connects us to friends and hardly anyone one of them can help us in critical stages of life but Faithbook connects us directly to God and His unlimited powers which gives us strength to deal with any problem of life may that be as sever and critical as death.

But our problem is that we have never opened our account on this site of Faithbook in fact we kept it out of our sight fearing it will change our life. Yes it will change our life but positively. What did you receive from Facebook since so many years? Some knowledge but mostly junk, we have wasted our precious time, I don't find anyone who became successful reading Facebook posts apart from Facebook owner 'Mark'. Believe me open your account on Faithbook(open your packed Bhagavad Gita which you have kept as it is from so many years) start reading it carefully and just see how immense emotional, mental, physical benefit you are deriving out of it. There were many in past including Arjuna, Sun God, Manu, Isvaku received benefit of this immortal knowledge and became successful in life, then why should we waste opportunity??
