May Lord Ganesh bless us with real knowledge in this auspicious occasion

As we pass different phases of life, we ask different type of knowledge & bliss from our beloved Lord Shree Ganesh.
Sometimes school or college academics, while other times to get a good rank in JEE or help in interview to get a good Job...

But very few times we have ever thought of gaining that kind of knowledge which can lift us from any difficult situations in life;

Where can we get such knowledge ???
Who emanates & distributes this priceless knowledge ???
Who wrote(documented) such Gems of Wisdom ???

The answer is very straight forward!!! Its none other than SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE. We can gain this from our vedic scriptures, but unfortunately we dont ve ample amount of time to go though...

That's why Lord Krishna simplified this in the form of Bhagavat Gita (Supreme Instruction to Arjuna), which is documented by Lord Shree Ganesha with the guidance of Vyasa Deva. [Bhagavat Gita is a part of Mahabharata].

So we should seek for real knowledge & pray Lord Ganesha to bless us the same.

Lets discuss a small sample of it; Though there are many awakening lessons present to be uncovered !!!

"While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises.From anger, complete delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost one falls down again into the material pool."
-- Extracted from Bhagavat Gita Chapter 2, Verse 62 & 63.

So the root cause of all sufferings is termed as ATTACHMENT ==> towards the sense objects!!! & so nicely it is explained how it leads to LUST ==> ANGER ==> DELUSION ==> MEMORY gets bewildered (confused) ==> INTELLIGENCE Lost (So we cant make proper judgement while in anger) ==> Leads to MISERY.

If one tries to gain real knowledge on "how to remain unattached even while living in this material world with full of attractive sense objects" then he or she can remain peaceful, even with the greatest troublesome situations!!!

Spirituality shows us that part of uncovered lesson, where most of us fall prey to the unwanted tragic situations.

"Every ship can sail in the still water, but the real test happens when storm approaches" !!!
Lets Be aware of it & get prepared before it arrives & demolished us...

May Lord Ganesha blesses us with the real knowledge...
Happy Ganesh Puja :-)
Jai Shree Krishna :-)

Towards a flourishing relationship !!!

Most of Our Failures in Human Relations are due to “misunderstandings”.

We expect other people to react and respond and come to the same conclusions as we do from a given set of “facts” or “circumstances.”

No one responds or reacts to “things as they are,” but to his own mental images.  Most of the time, a person “understands” and interprets the situation differently from us. He is merely responding appropriately to what – to him – seems to be the truth about the situation.

Ask yourself:

“How does this appear to him?”
“How does he interpret this situation?”
“How does he feel about it?”.
Put yourself in his / her position & act the same way u would expect to be treated as !!!


When we will start behaving the same way, as we  r expecting from others... We  will land up in a new arena of life; Feel it & let me know if u like the transformation or the present living style!!!

Lord Krishna instructs Arjuna in Bhagavad-gita 12.15
“He for whom no one is put into difficulty and who is not disturbed by anyone, who is equipoise in happiness and distress, fear and anxiety, is very dear to Me.”

Srila Prabhupada writes in the purport:
“Since a devotee is kind to everyone, he does not act in such a way as to put others into anxiety. At the same time, if others try to put a devotee into anxiety, he is not disturbed. It is by the grace of the Lord that he is so practiced that he is not disturbed by any outward disturbance.”
Try to understand why he might “act the way he does”.
In dealing with other people try to see the situation from their point of view as well as your own. 


In rare situations we have to tolerate others mistake to some extent, but in long run (s)he ll understand his or her mistake for sure, iff we have forgiven for their misdeed (without any revenge thoughts or deeds). 


Once we get this habit, inculcated in to our day to day dealings, relationship with all will flourish for sure... Life would be ever blissful !!!

Ultimate Learning from my own experience on the eve of Janmastami 2010.

It’s a fine morning today (2nd Sep 2010). I woke up at 4 am in ISKCON to attend Mangala Arati & wish my beloved lord a very enchanting birthday. 

We had countless funs during the same fest yesterday; Children from various schools came with props of Krishna, Radha, Meera, Gopi etc for fancy dress competition!!! They caught cake on behalf of Krishna. One of the most pleasurable moment of my life :-). Three TV channels (Sankara, TV9 & 24X7 were covering all these live telecasts... Also some well known Kannada stars & political personality came to attend the program & seek the blessings of Supreme Personality of Godhead. Today even more events & abhishekams are planned, but I returned back to home & did the Janmastami Puja (Laddu Gopal) in my little Puja Room. (Photos shared in my Orkut & facebook account) :-).

While arranging articles for the Puja, I had came across a situation which taught me a great lesson of life. I thought of sharing that with all, as everyone could be benefited from this. Just we need to change our perception in similar situations!!! Of course the thing that I am going to share is backed by unflinching faith with my loving God, Shree Krishna.

It happened so, by the time I finish my darshan & reached my room from ISKCON, it was bit late & most of the flower shops are closed, (except one) in my locality.

That lady was having many big big malas & some single roses & gemini flowers. When I asked for those single (untied) flowers, she straight away denied my request. Gave me the only option to buy the malas (kind of blackmailed me). I got little disappointment by seeing her behaviour towards me & the intension she was having, though that might or might not solve my purpose. Somehow I thought of coming out empty handed with the believe of fulfilling my requirement from another shop. &&& Krishna never leave His devotee empty handed; Just after walking 100 to 200 meters, I found another shop & this time without a single objection shopkeeper gave ample number of untied flowers with the same money; which was beyond my expectations!!!

It seems to be an ordinary moment, but taught a great lesson to me. When we try for something nice, with a clean heart & best effort, still fail to see the immediate result, we have the tendency to get frustrated. But in most cases the whole story is something different & with our limited vision most of the times we could not visualize the whole. Always God has some better plans for us & that gets revealed, sometimes in very short period (as happened with me today) or sometimes in a medium to long period. If I would ve been returned back with frustration or accepted the undesired one by hook or crook, ultimately I would have been the looser. But with little more patience and strong belief on my Krishna I endeavour for more possibilities... Its Krishna who controls the result of every action, so I was ready for anything. With that mindset when I got more than expected, my faith has tremendously strengthened yet again.

Its a great lesson for me & hoping that I could apply the same perception in every similar situations in life (when things are happening with greater magnitude).

Hope some of you could relate to this & it might be helpful for you too.

Wishing all a blissful & enchanting Janmastami.

May Krishna destroy all our ignorance & lead to eternal peace & harmony in life.

Jai Shree Krishna...

Cause of suffering !!!

We generally suffer either due to our ignorance, excessive attachment or due to our own laziness !!!
How true???

Any personified experience is highly appreciated.

Also please add other attributes which could be potential reason, beside what I ve jotted above... :-).

Differences between elements in CSS, which sounds similar

1.visibility vs display

Options: i) visibility: hidden / visible
             ii)display: none/inline/block

Difference : "visibility" will occupy the screen space even if it is hidden. But "display" will not take up any screen space if it is invisible(display:none).

NB: Use 'display' attribute more, as on need basis the screen space will be occupied.

2. readonly vs disbaled 


Both of the above attributes can be used to make the HTML elements non-editable.

But the additional thing that Disabled does is, the user cant even highlight to copy the text, not to select the checkbox etc. Also those disabled fields are not been submitted to the server, in subsequent post backs.

So better to use disabled, if we want to make the control readonly as well as in accessible by the user in all means. :-)

For Example: 

Sample - 1	produces this
READONLY>
DISABLED> ;

It's important to understand that READONLY merely prevents the user from changing the value of the field, not from interacting with the field. For many types of fields, READONLY is irrelevent because you don't normally change the value. In checkboxes, for example, you can check them on or off (thus setting the CHECKED state) but you don't change the value of the field. DISABLED, however, actually prevents you from using the field. Notice in these examples that you can set the checkboxes even though they are "read only":

Sample -2	produces this
READONLY>Krishna READONLY>Rama	Krishna Rama
DISABLED>Krishna DISABLED>Rama	Krishna Rama
