Ques: Gurudev in the Yoga Sutras, it is said that by aparigraha (the concept of non-possessiveness or non-greediness) one gets to know their past lives. Is that true?
Gurudev @srisriravishankar Ji:
Yes. When you do not receive anything from anyone, not even their abuses, then you are most centered.
See, material things are different. When people give you things, it is easy for you to not take it; to deny them.
But when people abuse you, then you don’t deny them. In fact, when someone insults you, before they can even complete what they are saying, you take the insult from them.
Someone has not fully abused you yet, they have just begun saying it and you have already taken it from them.That is why aparigraha is important, which means, neither take anyone's insults nor take their compliments, because a compliment can get into your head and make you arrogant, and an insult can sink into your heart and can cause you intense pain.
So aparigraha is neither taking anything positive or negative that people give. If they give, you just smile at them and not harbor them in your mind.
So, when you don’t worry about other’s opinions of you, that is aparigraha. You don’t take anything. And of course, not sitting and seeing, who is giving what and how much they are giving (in terms of material things) is also aparigraha.

Sometimes we feel like giving up, frustrated. It is because of stress. That time do not take any decisions. You may regret it. Come back to yourself first.

Lord Krsna dances on the heads of the demoniac Kaliya serpent whose vernom had polluted the waters of the River Yamuna. The Lord subdued the demon simply by dancing on his heads and drove him away from the Yamuna’s waters. Pure devotees of Lord Krsna derive transcendental pleasure from visiting the sites of the Lord’s pastimes.
IN KALU YUGA...
Men will no longer protect their elderly parents.
Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.42
In Kali-yuga men will develop a hatred for each other even over a few coins. Giving up all friendly relations, they will be ready to lose their own lives and kill even their own relatives.
Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.41
Uncultured men will accept charity on behalf of the Lord and will earn their livelihood by making a show of austerity and wearing a mendicant’s dress. Those who know nothing about religion will mount a high seat and presume to speak on religious principles.
Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.38
Cities will be dominated by thieves, the Vedas will be contaminated by speculative interpretations of atheists, political leaders will virtually consume the citizens, and the so-called priests and intellectuals will be devotees of their bellies and genitals.
Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.32
The only and only way out of the defects of kaliyuga the only solution and also the easiest way of going back to vaikuntha as per lord chaitanya is the name of lord krishna.
So, please Keep chanting hare Krishna mhamantra and be happy.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare,hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.

It all started from Lord Vishnu
Vedas say that before the creation of the universe Lord Vishnu is sleeping in the ocean of all causes. His bed is a giant serpent with thousands of cobra like hoods. While Vishnu is asleep, a lotus sprouts of his navel (note that navel is symbolised as the root of creation). Inside this lotus, Brahma resides. Brahma represents the universe which we all live in, and it is this Brahma who creates life forms.
Vishnu is the personification of the eternal multiverse that exists forever without any beginning or end. Brahma is the personification of our temporary physical universe that was created in the big bang. Brahma is said to have been created from the navel (which is a single point) of Vishnu, described as a lotus blooming out of the navel, much like our big bang universe.

Once, while Radha and Krishna were engaged in Their pastimes, Radha was sitting on the lap of Krishna. It so happened that at that time a honey bee started hovering around Radharani’s lotus face. Being disturbed by it, She tried to chase it away but it was persistent. Seeing this, one of the sakhas drove away the honey bee. After driving it away, he told Radharani, “I have driven Madhu away”. Hearing this, Radharani mistakenly thought that Madhu, Her Krishna, had gone away. Thinking thus, She started crying in the mood of separation, forgetting that She was sitting on Krishna’s lap. Seeing Radharani crying, Krishna also started crying. Their tears joined together and formed a kunda, called the Prem Sarovar.
Located near Barsana, Prem Sarovar is a serene, large sized pond. This beautiful pond is surrounded on all sides by various temples.
To reach here, one drives along the road from Barsana to Nandgaon for about a kilometer until one sees a large arch on one’s left, announcing “Prem Sarovar”. One turns left here and enters the arch and Prem Sarovar is about a 100m into this road.

Human body is the only way the soul can get back to krishna,you never know what your next birth may be. So take advantage on this birth, regretting later would be of no use.
