10000 Years Ago.... Where were we???

       Imagine you were born some 10000 years back. How your life would have been? Painful or Pleasure?Idiotic or Interesting? Sophisticated or simple? Confused,aren't you? It is for sure that the world would have been much greener and cleaner but neither would it be technically advanced nor scientifically progressed. You would have breathed fresh air and drunk pure water but you would not have an air-conditioner to cool the air or a refrigerator to cool your water. Our ancestors survived those without all these but can we imagine a life without these gadgets? We became addicted to it. Here are a few gadgets without which our life will become miserable.

1) CLOCK

                May be it's analog or digital. It's purpose is to get to know the time. Do we use it only for it. Of course not. We wake up with an alarm to start the day and end up setting an alarm for the next day. We use it as a stop watch , as a scheduler, etc. We cannot imagine a life bereft of a clock.

2) INDOOR TOILET

                Vintage days were without an indoor toilet or it was even without a closed door. This situation prevailed in remote villages even a decade ago. But, urbanization has brought this change without which we cannot lead our lives comfortable.

3) CELLPHONE

                Cellphone is a recent advancement to the technology which has revolutionized our lives. It has become an integral part of our life. The world has shrunk so much and this cellphone is the one which has achieved it.

4) GAS CYLINDERS 

                 In Olden days, cooking was held in open with the help of dry sticks and leaves. Cooking extends for hours together and the person who cooked become exhausted after cooking and people become famished before every meal. Today, the situation had turned upside down. Cooking is completed in just a few minutes. The gas stoves powered by gas cylinders are the reason behind this. Though electric stoves are introduced, gas cylinders are too popular to be replaced.

5) ELECTRICITY

                   Though it was invented in the last century, it lightened people's lives. Many of our gadgets are powered by electricity and we lose our sophistication  without it. We will sweat all through the day and visualize darkness at night.
                 

Faith on Lord Krishna

Hi Friends,

Hope everybody is doing fine. I am enjoying the days with my daughter and she is very interested in hearing  stories. To make it more interesting, I searched for comics which would attract her complete concentration and hence impart moral values and spirituality to bring her up as a good individual. While I was searching , I came across a story which touched my heart and the story is what I want to pen here.

Once there was a river which demarcates two villages. The residents of the two villages had to cross the river with the help of a boat for any communication between them. In one of the villages resides a great philosopher, a learned scholar who has learnt the Vedas and Vedantas for which he is popularly called as 'Panditji' by the dwellers of both the villages.

In the other village across the river, lived a milkmaid who fetched milk for the Panditji with utmost dedication. She used to get up early in the morning, take bath, milk the cow and also do her household works. She had a sick father and was sincerely taking care of him. She had to feed him and then start to the other village for delivering the milk to the most respected Panditji.

One day she was very late and hence Panditji became angry on her. Panditji chastised her and then told strictly that she had to come and provide him the milk early in the morning from the next day. The milkmaid who had undue respect on the Panditji didn't speak up a single word against him.. The very next day, she got up even more early, finished her works and reached the river to travel across, but the boatman was not available at that early part of the day. She was so upset owing to not obeying the Panditji's words.

Finally, the boatman arrived and she rushed to the other village. Panditji was waiting for her angrily. He shouted at her for being late and she tried to convice him by telling him what had happened. She told that though she made up early that morning, she was unable to reach there because of the unavailability of the boatman. Panditji was even more angry on hearing her reason and warned her not to tell lame excuses. He added that people cross even the roaring oceans by chanting the name of Lord Krishna and asked her can't she cross a silent river.

The milkmaid was again silent but sincerely took the words of Panditji . The next day, Panitji was surprised to see her coming early and asked how was that possible. He further asked whether the boatman came so early for her. She politely replied that it was possible for her to come early just by listening to his words and Panditji moved to the verge of surprise. She explained that by chanting the holy name of Lord Krishna, she walked over the river water and reached there. Panditji was shocked and asked her to do it again before him.

She accepted and crossed the river with ease by chanting the name of Krishna. Panditji was astonished. The milkmaid invited the Panditji to her house and bless her father. Panditji hesitated that his silk dhoti would become wet if he get into the water. But, he tried to walk over the river as like the milkmaid by chanting the name of Krishna, but to their surprise, he fell down. He felt ashamed and then he realised that though he uttered the name of Krishna, he did not do it wholeheartedly with complete surrender. He also felt proud of the milkmaid who could trust Krishna completely without any trace of doubt on him.

Moral: Lord Krishna embraces everybody who completely surrender themselves and faithfully believe him. He himself will definitely come down to save them in any kind of hindrance they face.
