Today morning after walking met my walking friend, he had recently lost his wife for Corona Virus
He asked me
1 why do bad things happen to good people ?
2. Is God bad ?
I told him
God is very kind and merciful , he grants all your desires, but on one condition, First in First out ( FIFO )
In a day how much onr desires, in a month how much one desires, in a life time how much one desires, even we might forget what we desired, but God remembers
As a Paramatma He is always residing in your heart and watching and recording all your actions , He is not the doer but He is there as a witness. Like a chip recording each and every act of yours
First thing one has to remember is that we are not this body but spirit soul
We were there before, we are there now & we will be there after,we are eternal, but we keep changing bodies
Friend : changing bodies ?
Me : yes even in this life term , we have changed so many bodies , as a 6 month baby you had a different body, as a boy you had a different body
As a college student you had a different body, now your body is different, when you grow old you will have a different body, but the person inside you is the same.Similarly at death you will get another body
Friend: i agree with what you say,But on what basis do i get next body
One gets next body based on 1. Whatever one thinks at the time of death
2.His unfulfilled desires
3.His /her consciousness at the time of death
And some more factors
Friend : still cant forget my wife
Me : i know its tough
Me : when your wife died, her body was still there, what was missing ?
Fr : Soul
Me : but your entire life you considered her and yourself as the body ,
Fr : i understand now
Me : we are like sand particles in a beach , based on our karma , some sand particles come together
Me : these sand particles stay together as husband, wife, father, son etc ,Another wave these sand particles are seperated & they form a relation ship, either in the same body or in another, another wave displaces them again this keeps going on and on
Fr : how to get out of this
Me : I cannot talk much today, lets continue tomorrow , for now dony forget to do all ceremonies for your wife, it helps her to travel well
Fr : i was apprehensive, but after listening to you i have solace, will do all ceremonies as per my family tradition
Me : Hare Krishna

Narada Muni once went to Vaikuntha and served Mother Laxmi very attentively. Sri Laxmi was very pleased and requested Narada Muni to ask for any boon. Narada Muni replied, “My dear Mother Laxmi, you must promise that whatever I ask for, you will grant.” Laxmi Devi wowed that she
would gladly fulfill his desire. The great saint revealed his wish: Narada Muni requested Laxmi Devi to give him the maha-prasada remnants of Lord Narayana.
Suddenly Laxmi Devi’s mood changed and her face became clenched with worry. “Please ask me for anything else except for
the Lord’s prasada,” she begged. “A few days ago the Lord in¬structed me not to give His prasada to anyone. You must under¬stand that I cannot disobey my husband’s order. My dear son, 1 cannot give you prasada” Narada was very adamant and reminded Devi of her promise.
We all know that Bear-king called “Jambavan”was an obedient servant of Lord Rama, and he fought along His side against Ravana.
Jambavan was so powerful , that when he was young and when Lord appeared as “Vaman Dev” and He expanded Himself to take away everything of Bali Maharaj,
at that time Jambavan did seven Parikrama of Lord, in a very short time.
This was told by Jambavan to his friends when they wanted to cross over Lanka.
Even on the battlefield in his old age, he just gave one kick to Ravana and Ravana fainted, such was his strength.
In all his life, he never got any strong opponent to fight and this desire of fighting remain unfulfilled.
He told this desire to Lord Ram.
Lord promised him that He will fulfill his desire to fight in next incarnation in Dwapara yuga and also told him that when I will defeat
BJP supporters across the world must be wondering as to why BJP is not growing in TN as much as it grows in other states. Let me tell you a fact from ground zero
In districts like Salem there are a set of office bearers ( 5 to 6 of them ) who form a core group, this group
decides the fate of the party in the district, this group decides who is entertained in the party and who is not. Those who fall in their line are entertained and those who don't are sidelined.
Members of this group can neither get deposit in their own street elections nor
get votes of their own members of their family. These members are good at maintaining good relations with those who matter in the higher layers of the party.
Only these members get plum posts in the districts and state, and their posts get rotated each term
One day a young lady was driving along with her father. They came upon a storm & the young lady asked he father, " What should I do?"
Father said, " keep driving ". Cars began to pull over to the side, the storm was getting worse.
" What should I do ?" The young lady asked
" keep driving", her father replied
A few moments later, she notices that 18 wheelers were also pulling over," I must pull over, I can't barely see ahead, it is terrible & everyone is pulling over!"
Her father told her, "Don't give up, just keep driving!"
Now the storm was
terrible, but she never stopped driving and soon she could see little more clearly. After a couple of mile she was again on dry land and the sun came out.
There was an young woman named Shabari who was a daughter of a hunter. She wasn’t a good looking woman, but her heart was pure gold. Before the day of her wedding she saw 1000s of goats and sheep that her father had brought to sacrifice, as it was a custom among the hunters of
that time.
She couldn’t bear to see those animals being killed, so she ran away into the forest in the early morning to avoid the killing of those animals.
She went to many teachers and asked them to take her as their disciple and teach her ‘true wisdom’ (Brahma Jnana), all the
teachers rejected her
Sage Matanga welcome her and took her as his disciples, other rishis and yogis condemned him for taking an her as the disciple, they criticized him, called him fallen, impure.
Sage Matanga told Shabari “Oh my daughter, stay in my Ashram, clean the place,
