Changing the worlds starts with you 🌎 nothing can stop you in that endeavor

When i was a young man , i wanted to change the world

I found it was difficult to change the world, so i tried to change my nation.

When i found i could not change the nation, i began to focus on my town.

I could not change the town n as an older man, i tried to change my family.

Now, as an old man, i realize the only thing i can change is myself.

suddenly , i realize that if long ago i had changed myself, i could have made an impact on my family.

My family n i could have made an impact on our town.

Their impact could have change the nation n i could indeed have changed the world.

Hari Ashtakam

Haryashtakam – Octet of prayers to Lord Vishnu
The Hari Ashtakam is a prayer dedicated to Vishnu as Hari. Hari means one who shows you the true path and removes the illusion or Maya in which you live. Our elders always emphasise that  one  should  remember the  Hari namam everyday as soon as they get up from bed in the early morning (atleast 3 times). Also hari namam with pranavam is frequently used at the starting or ending of sloka/aradanam.
This Stotra was composed and recited in praise of Hari by Shri Prahladazhwan, the Daitya or Demon who was one of the greatest devotees of Vishnu. As a result of his unflinching devotion and love, Lord Vishnu time and again saved his life and finally also took a great avatharam. This  is  a  stotra of  eight  verses which glorifies the greatness of hari and hari namam called Hari Ashtakam.
This is a Stotra if recited with utmost devotion set one on the right path of Moksha or ultimate liberation.

Meaning:
The name  Hari,  even  when recited with a bad mind will destroy all our sins just like the fire which burns the hand even when touched inadvertently.
Lord’s  name  is  so  powerful that if we recite it even unwillingly, our sins gets destroyed. Such being the case, what about those who lovingly chant this name?        (1)
If  the  two  syllables  Hari  is  in  our  tongue always, then it is equal to having bath at Ganga, performing Sraaddha at Gaya, visiting sacred places like Kashi, Puskara etc.,
No pilgrimage is required if we remember Hari always.      (2)
The  good deeds performed  at Varanasi, Kurukshetra  and Naimisharanya  are  equal  to the chanting of two syllables Hari everyday. Again here, it is said  that the chanting of the word Hari will bestow all good results that would be obtained by performing sacred karmas at various pilgrim centers.      (3)
By  reciting  the two syllables Hari one gets all the punya (good results) that is being got  by visiting all the pilgrimage centers in the entire world.           (4)
Kanyadaana  (performing   daughter’s   marriage) and  Godaana  (offering  the cow) are considered very sacred. If  we  chant  the  name  of  Hari,  it  is  equal  to  donating  thousands  of  cows  and performing  thousands of marriages.          (5)
The chanting  of  Harinama  is  equal  to  systematic  recital  of  Rik Veda, Yajur Veda,  Sama Veda and Atharva Veda. Veda  paaraayana bestows utmost benefits. Such benefits are obtained by mere recital of Harinama.       (6)
Harinama   is   equal   to  performing  Ashwamedha  Yajna  and  other similar sacrifices. One can get the benefits they desire by chanting such Harinama.     (7)
The  chanting of Harinama is like carrying the food towards the last journey, which also destroys the pain of samsaara. It is  saviour  from  many dire  troubles of  life. The chanting  of  Harinama at the time of last journey of a man will relieve him of all pains of samsaara.         (8)
Even if the Harinama is chanted only once, it will lead to salvation by removing bondage. No other means to salvation is required if one recites Harinama.       (9)
The  recital  of  this  Hariasthakam  every  day  morning  will  confer long life, strength, health, wealth and glory.
This is the phalasruti.     (10)
One who recites this stotra told  by Sri prahlada, attains the abode the Lord Vishnu namely Paramapada, besides all benefits in this world.                (11)

Top 10 mistakes to be avoided in 20s

151th Prerna by HG Gaur Gopal Pr

*Unleash your potential- top 10 mistakes to be avoided in 20s*

If there were no people to wear clothes then what's the use of selling clothes, similarly without shrotas no meaning to vaktas. 

Good looking people, smart are considered to be successful today. There r so many ideas about successful, may b so many of  these ideologist be right or wrong. We may commit mistake by following wrong ideology. We have done so many mistakes especially in the zeal of youth.  Some mistakes can be corrected. *Bhul karna prakriti hai man Lena sanskriti hai, sudhar Lena pragati hai.* Progressive life is to accept and not repeating mistake.  

1) *We learn from mahabharat - Ethics from epics- how to live*

*We learn from ramayan - how to lead*

*We learn from SB - How to leave* 

2) *We learn from Wise saints who share their experience* 

3) *We learn from our own mistakes* 

*First mistake Is having wrong concept of happiness* 

We think Money is source of happiness. Money leads to desires. We have heard money can't buy happiness but still we don't believe. Money can give utility value that's not happiness. Wife of Former president of Philippines had 3000 sandals, sultan of Brunel is having so many golden plated palaces but still empty inside. 

Between 20-30 are dreamers, there is nothing wrong in dreaming having and using but there is wrong in thinking that this will give me happiness.

We have forgotten to live while struggling. Zindagi ka safar hai kaisa safar koi samaza nahi koi Jana nahi. *Don't wait for destination. Start finding happiness now. Happiness is journey.* Spiritual life is journey, in middle of  chaos we must learn to be happy. In vrindavan there was chaos, there were problems, lord comes to teach us the same thing that don't postpone happiness, satisfaction. 

*Second mistake-- Herd mentality* 

We feel to be like someone. Be careful while following masses you end up becoming asses. Everyone is geneous but we can't test each by seeing their capacity to climb tree. Just because someone like plum doesn't mean you become plum. Be yourself. Follow your nature. Be original why we want to become photo copy. You are you understand your Swot. Identify your strength. You can take inspiration but don't imitate. There r 5 top wealthiest people in Forbes list where are you ?

*Your net worth is your net work, they helps you to do SWOT.* respect krsnas creation be who you are.

5 pandavas had different personalities. In serving krsna they complemented each other. 

*Third mistake - we compare*

We take so much pleasure when we trouble others. Comparison increases envy.  That's what duryodhan did, he compared his palace with yudhistir palace.  Don't compare stuff, skills. Karna was comparing Arjuna constantly Arjuna was comparing with himself *excellence comes by beating ourselves.* Krsna devotee are not simpleton They Excel in what they do. Karna felt insecurity. *In life each one has different exam paper. Everyone is going through different problems.* 

*If you want to copy , copy the faith of devotees.* 

*Forth mistake - Always be in rush* 

Press a pause. When we are in rush we can't get spiritual experience. Vrindavan is filled with simple joys. Krsna is about feeling sentiments devotion vrindavan is charectarsed by these things. Giriraj Maharaj said *vrindavan means -Simplicity and relationships*. When we are in hurry we can't relish these things. Make relationships with friends family and with krsna. Then krsnas fills us with love. 

Press a pause and connect to krsna.
