॥ श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम ॥ प्रवचने-श्रीब्रह्मचैतन्य महाराज :: ४ मार्च :: प्रपंचाचे स्वरूप समजून घेऊन नामात राहावे. आपले जीवन किती अस्थिर आहे हे लढाईच्या काळात चांगले समजून येते. अशा अस्वस्थतेच्या काळात मनाने घाबरू नये. काळजी न करता शांत चित्ताने भगवन्नामांत कर्तव्य करीत राहावे. काळजीला म्हणा कारण असे काहीच लागत नाही, कारण ती आपल्या काळजापर्यंत, नव्हे काळजापाशीच असते. काळजी करायचीच म्हटले म्हणजे कोणत्याच गोष्टी तिच्यातून सुटत नाहीत. काळजीमुळे मानसिक आणि शारीरिक त्रास होतो. ज्याला काळजी नाही त्याने भगवंत आपलासा करून घेतला हे समजावे. भगवंतावर पूर्ण विश्वास टाकून, तुम्ही काळजी करण्याचे एकदम बंद करा. ज्याप्रमाणे कुणाचीही कुंडली मांडली, मग तो श्रीमंत असो की गरीब असो, तरी तिच्यामध्ये सर्व ग्रह यायचेच, त्याचप्रमाणे जन्मलेल्या प्रत्येक प्राण्याला सर्व विकार असायचेच. भगवंताचे अवतार जरी झाले किंवा साधुपुरूष जरी झाले तरी त्यांनाही विकार असतातच. अर्थात्‌ त्या विकारांच्या बरोबर प्रेम, दया, शांती, क्षमा, हे गुणही त्यांच्या अंगी असतात. ग्रह हे या जन्माचे आहेत, पण विकार हे मागच्या जन्मापासून असल...

Ramayana story: Little squirrel who helped Lord Rama! Here in a story from the Ramayana. Lord Rama and his army of monkeys were preparing for war with Ravana. Rama asked his army to build the bridge over the sea. Work began at once on a stone bridge. The monkeys pulled out rocks and heavy stones from the mountains, and carried them to the sea. They cut them into shape and began to build the bridge. All this was very difficult work and it took a long time. Thousands of monkeys worked night and day. Rama felt happy. “How hard they work! Their love for me makes them work like this,” thought Rama. One day, Rama saw a small brown squirrel. He was going up and down the seashore with little pebbles in his mouth. The little squirrel could carry only little pebbles at a time in his small mouth. He carried the pebbles from the seashore and dropped them into the sea. A great monkey was carrying a large heavy stone on his back and the squirrel came in his way. The monkey ju...

Brahmana was very poor but he was very big hearted. The crane was very greedy and one day he went to the brahmana and said, "O brahmana, I don’t have food. I don’t have money. I am in difficulty. Please help me." So the brahmana told the crane, "I know some rakshasas living behind the forest. When I go and cut wood, I see them and even though they are very difficult people, I always give them some wood for fire. So they have become good friends with me. They know a mantra that if you chant, it will make you very rich and you will never be wanting for anything. So you go and tell them my name and they will help you." Now this brahmana did not have to do this. But he was helping another person. So the crane goes to the rakshasas. Rakshasas are ready to hunt him. But the crane says, "Stop! I know so and so ...
