Life Changing Quotes By Lord Krishna


Lord Krishna is another of the most commonly worshipped deities in the Hindu faith. He is considered to be the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu. Shree Krishna delivered Bhagwad Gita on battlefield to Arjun. The Lord is usually remembered and worshipped as Radha-Krishna. The pair symbolizes the eternal love between people and god.

1) The happiness which comes from long practice, which leads to the end of suffering, which at first is like poison, but at last like nectar – this kind of happiness arises from the serenity of one’s own mind.



2) It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection.

3) A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return.

4) No one who does good work will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come

5) Anyone who is steady in his determination for the advanced stage of spiritual realization can equally tolerate the onslaughts of distress and happiness is certainly a person eligible for liberation.

9) Perform all work carefully, guided by compassion.

10) Performing the duty prescribed by (one’s own) nature, one incurreth no sin.

11) Feelings of heat and cold, pleasure and pain, are caused by the contact of the senses with their objects. They come and they go, never lasting long. You must accept them.



12) I am the Atma abiding in the heart of all beings. I am also the beginning, the middle, and the end of all beings.

13) It is Nature that causes all movement.

14) It is I who remain seated in the heart of all creatures as the inner controller of all; and it is I who am the source of memory, knowledge and the ratiocinativefaculty. Again, I am the only object worth knowing through the Vedas; I alone am the origin of Vedānta and the knower of the Vedas too.

15) The wise unify their consciousness and abandon attachment to the fruits of action.

16) You have control over doing your respective duty, but no control or claim over the result. Fear of failure, from being emotionally attached to the fruit of work, is the greatest impediment to success because it robs efficiency by constantly disturbing the equanimity of mind.

17) Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor for perfection, and of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me in truth.

18) Selfish action imprisons the world. Act selflessly, without any thought of personal profit.

19) A yogi is greater than the ascetic, greater than the empiricist and greater than the fruitive worker. Therefore, O Arjuna, in all circumstances, be a yogi.

20) For even if the greatest sinner worships me with all his soul, he must be considered righteous, because of his righteous will. And he shall soon become pure and reach everlasting peace. For this is my word of promise, that he who loves me shall not perish.

21) I am time, the destroyer of all; I have come to consume the world.

22) The cause of the distress of a living entity is forgetfulness of his relationship with God.



23) Lust, anger, and greed are the three doors to hell.

24) From anger, complete delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost one falls down again into the material pool.

25) For man, mind is the cause of bondage and mind is the cause of liberation. Mind absorbed in sense objects is the cause of bondage, and mind detached from the sense objects is the cause of liberation.

26) There was never a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor any of these kings. Nor is there any future in which we shall cease to be.

27) Reshape yourself through the power of your will; never let yourself be degraded by self-will. The will is the only friend of the Self, and the will is the only enemy of the Self.

28) The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: It is lust only, Arjuna, which is born of contact with the material mode of passion and later transformed into wrath, and which is the all-devouring sinful enemy of this world. PURPORT

Unknown Facts About Lord Rama




Ramnavami is one of the most important festivals of the Hindus, particularly for the Vaishnava sect of the Hindus. On this auspicious day, devotees repeat the name of Rama with every breath and vow to lead a righteous life. People pray to attain the final beatitude of life through intense devotion towards Rama and invoke him for his blessings and protection.

Who Is Lord Rama

Rama (or Ramacandra) is the seventh avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu. Rama’s father is King Dasaratha, a prince of the solar race, and his mother is Queen Kausalya. Rama was born at the end of the Second Age or Treta-yuga and he came into the world specifically at the bidding of the gods to deal with the fearsome multi-headed demon Ravana, the king of Lanka (modern Sri Lanka). The great god Vishnu answered the gods’ call and appeared in a sacrificial fire made by Dasaratha.

Janaka the king of Videha hosted our hero, and he met the king’s beautiful daughter Sita (also called Janaki or Maithili). The king had promised the princess in marriage to anyone who could manage to bend a huge bow which had once been the weapon of the Great God Shiva. Rama, with his divine strength, did more than just bend the bow but broke it in half and so won the hand of Sita, his first and most revered wife.

Rama’s succession to the throne of Ayodhya was made difficult by his mother’s hunchback slave Manthara. Jealous of Rama, she soured the opinion of Kaikeyi, Dasaratha’s second wife, and convinced her to persuade her husband to instead make Bharata heir to the throne. On top of this slight Rama was exiled from the kingdom for fourteen years. So, accompanied by Sita and his ever faithful companion Laksmana, Rama went to live in the far south in Citrakuta, deep in the Dandaka forest.

In Ayodhya, the birthplace of Sri Rama, a big fair is held on this day. In the south of India, the "Sri Ramnavami Utsavam" is celebrated for nine days with great fervor and devotion.

Facts About Lord Rama

1)Ramayana has been written by Maharshi Valmiki. The time when King Dashrath had organized a yagya for the birth of Lord Rama, his age was 60 years.

2)Rama is the 7th incarnation of the God Vishnu, and next to Lord Krishna, he is considered to be his most important avatar

3)Lord Rama’s name comes in at the 394th place of the Vishnu Sahasranama, which is a compilation of the thousand names of Lord Vishnu.



4)For the sake of honoring his father, Rama accepted 14 years in exile with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana.

5)Rama is considered to be the ideal man and a perfect human; not only physically, but mentally and spiritually.

6)When Lord Rama went to exile he was 27 years old.

7)When King Dashrath asked Lord Rama to go to a forest, he wanted to give him lots of wealth so that he remains happy there. However, his third wife Kaikayi didn’t allow for the same.



8)Rama’s principle devotee was Hanuman, a symbol of devotion and right action.

9)The entire tale of the Ramayana is Rama’s journey to take back his wife that was stolen by the evil king Ravana, lord of Lanka. It’s widely believed that Rama (Vishnu) and Sita (an incarnation of Lakshmi) have one of the oldest and famous love stories of all time.



10)Lord Rama took Jal Samadhi in the Sarayu River and consequently left the earth forever.

11)Lord Rama prophesied that Vaali would kill him in his next birth and thus take his revenge. Vaali was reborn as a hunter and was the one that caused the death of Lord Krishna.



12)It is believed that Lakshman did not sleep for the entire period of the exile of 14 years in order to protect his brother and sister- in-law. Because of this he is called Gudakesh. When the goddess of sleep appeared before him at the first night of the their exile to the forests and when Rama and Sita were asleep, Lakshman requested the goddess to give him no sleep for the entire 14 years, so that he can be awake to protect his beloved brother and Sita. The goddess was impressed by this and granted the boon on a condition that someone else has to bear his sleep. On Lakshman request the goddess visited his wife Urmila, sister of Sita. Urmila agreed to share her husband loss of sleep, and thus slept for entire 14 years. Hence the reason she is not much in the story, but a strong reason for helping Laksman to kill Ravana son Meghnadh in the war against to Ravana as Meghnadh could be killed only by a man who have not slept for 14 years.

13)The victory of Rama over Ravana is celebrated in a 10 day festival known as Dussehra, and his return to his kingdom and coronation is celebrated with Diwali, the festival of lights.
