Mistakes are unavoidable part of life

Some mistakes are big. An air-traffic controller's mistake or one wrong move by a surgeon can be deadly. 

A vast majority of the mistakes we make, however, are not life or death. It's true that even small mistakes can cause inconvenience, conflict, or extra work – and, can be expensive.

 

While no one enjoys making mistakes, there is something very freeing about learning to accept them – really accept them – as an unavoidable part of life. When we do, we can forgive ourselves, thus erasing all the stress that usually results from cursing ourselves. 

So the suggestion is simple. Forgive yourself; you're human.

Transcendental Teachings of Prahlada Maharaja - - Ebook

Hare Krishna

Hope you are doing great! This month we have got this very special E-Book – "Transcendental Teachings of Prahlada Maharaja" for you which you can download right away.

The chapters in this book are based on a series of talks  given by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in 1968 on the Srimad-Bhagavatam, Canto 7, Chapter 6. It explicitly covers Prahlada Maharaja's instructions to his class friends. In speaking to his friends, who were all sons of demons, Prahlada Maharaja stressed that every living entity, especially in human society, must be interested in spiritual realization from the very beginning of life. 

Please find the E-book as an attachment with this mail.

Again become mouse

A mouse came to a saintly person: "Sir, I am very much troubled. This cat troubles me very much." "So what you want?" "Let me become a cat." "All right, you become a cat." So he became a cat. Then after few days, he came back. "Sir, still I am in trouble." "What is that?" "The dogs trouble me very much." "So what you want?" "All right, you become." Then after few days he came again... "The tiger troubles me." "What do you want?" "Now I want to become a tiger."  "All right, you become a tiger." Then, when he became tiger, he began to stare at the saintly person. The saintly person, "What do you mean by this?" "I shall eat you." "Oh, you shall eat me? I have made you tiger, and you want to eat me. All right: Again you become a mouse." So our civilization is like that, that in the gradual process of evolution we have come to the platform of human being. This human being is meant for understanding God, but we are forgetting God. Just like the tiger; instead of becoming obliged, if you want to eat, then again become a mouse. If the saintly person has got the power to make you from mouse to tiger, then he can convert you again from tiger to mouse. You must always remember this. So by the grace of God, Krishna, you have become so powerful, rich, beautiful, educated. But if you misuse it, if you forget Krishna, then you are again going to be mouse. Therefore we should be very, very careful. This Krishna consciousness movement is simply a very scientific movement that will help the human society not to be degraded again, to be elevated.
