An open appeal to Lord Krishna


यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत ।

अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥४-७॥

yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata

abhyutthanam adharmasya tadatmanam srjamy aham

"Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion—at that time I descend Myself."

परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् ।

धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥४-८॥

paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskritam

dharma-samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge

"To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I Myself appear, millennium after millennium."

Hey Lord Krishna,

You promised this to us, to a common man/woman, that you will appear, but how long should we wait for you now??

We see sinners doing evil around us. But they are thriving. What’s your judgment god?? I thought according to the Sutras, “evil deeds result in hardships and good deeds result in blessings..”

Since my childhood, I heard there is something called' Karma'. But is it applicable only to people like us, who had their conscious alive??

I see friends backstabbing friends,

I see son/daughter driving out his/her own mother from her own house,

I see siblings backstabbing and snatching/stealing their brother's/sister’s share,

I see people keeping old parents in their house as prisoners after writing a will on their name,

I see people making up and spreading wrong stories just for character assassination of some honest soul.

I know we have law for physical abuse, but some emotional abuse hurts deeper and wounds are not recoverable. I thought Karma is answer for this, but now my belief is shattering.

It’s not that I am waiting for anyone’s downfall, but my question is if evil and demonic people are successful and thriving in their lives, then why should good people keep doing good deeds?? Why not to follow those people who get evil ways out for success? Are you even there to protect good people who follow your guidance in their lives and keep on doing good deeds?? Or is their more evil coming on our way in this Kaliyug?

We are still waiting for your reappearance GOD!! We are still waiting......

FaceBook Addiction!!

FB has become an integral part of our(Me and my DH) life now.

Keeping in touch with our family, friends and cousins back home in India, was main intention of going on FB. But don't know when, slowly I got hooked-up on FB.

After finishing-up all chores, when I sit back to relax.. I check my FB,
Whenever I feel like to get connected, I'll PM my friends on FB,
Some school friends whom I did not meet up for 20 years, met-up on FB,
Whenever I feel like to send some giggles of my kids and their achievements, to their aunts and uncles, I'll post it on my Wall on FB,
I'll read them their supportive comments to encourage them.
Close friends came more closer by meeting everyday on FB.
Thanks to FB, for bringing far away people closer and for taking some close friends away.
