can be avoided

But the Bhagavad-gita, Bhagavan, personally says that "Your real miserable condition of life are the four things: janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi [Bg 13.9]." But who is taking seriously? There are so many advancements of education, scientific and... Who is making research work how to stop death? No. Nobody is there. No scientist's brain is working. But it is possible. Therefore Krsna comes, yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata [Bg 4.7]. These rascals, when they forget that death is not our business, it is artificially imposed upon us, so we must become deathless again... That is the human life perfection. But nobody is caring.

Why I am forced to suffer these three kinds of miserable life of material condition?' " Nobody's inquire, inquiring.    (More...)

We do not die after the annihilation of this body. But we are so dull by the influence of maya, we think that death is inevitable. No. Why death is inevitable? Death can be avoided, birth can be avoided, disease can be avoided, but you do not know, you have become so dull.    (More...)
