|| Jai Shri Krishna ||

The eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu, Krishna is a supreme God in his own right. Krishna’s childhood stories are very interesting and I am sure just like me, you too have grown up listening to his mystical stories. The Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, often referred to as the Gita, is a 700-verse Hindu holy epic scripture which is all about Krishna’s teachings. Here are 10 teachings of Lord Krishna that will help you change your mindset and make you wiser.

10 Teachings of Lord Krishna for a Better Life:

Everything comes and goes in life; So, do not get attached to materialistic things
Always think with a calm mind
Karma karo, phal ki iccha mat karo (Focus on the karma, not it’s fruits)
A person is considered superior, who is impartial towards friends, enemies, friends, relatives and strangers and treats everyone with equal respect
Accept the change because change is constant
Live in the present moment, be mindful about your actions
Anger destroys intellect
No job is big or small
True friendship is above all assets in life
There are three gates to self-destruction and hell: Lust, Anger & Greed

These are the most powerful teachings of Lord Krishna. Some have been derived from Gita while others are teachings that Krishna taught us by leading an example from his own life. For example, the teaching about friendship, the tales of Krishna and Sudama says it all.. and more.

I really hope you found this article inspiring. These are age-old teachings by Lord himself but it completely and perfectly fits in to our daily lives. I might sound preachy but it is a fact. Everyone should live a wise life with mindful actions.
