What is the goal of human life?

The goal of human life is to end the miseries of material existence and attain a blissful life. We are constantly searching after happiness, but we often fail in our pursuit. We may get a glimpse of happiness, but it does not last forever. We do not want miseries, but we cannot avoid them. Scriptures inform us that we are spiritual beings, part and parcel of the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna, and by nature we are full of happiness. Then, why do we suffer? How do we rediscover the lost happiness and lead a blissful life? Srila Prabhupada, our beloved spiritual master and the Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) has blessed us with this opportunity for a happy and peaceful life by following simple principles below:Chant the holy names, Hare Krishna maha-mantra Read the spotless scriptures (Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam)  that glorifies the Supreme Lord Eat Sanctified food, (Sanctify food by offering it to Supreme Lord before eating)

How does this work?

First, let us understand the root cause of our problems that makes our life miserable. We are entrapped in this material world from time immemorial and the happiness we pursue here is temporary and illusory. In the pursuit of such happiness, we engage in various activities, pious and sinful, that binds us more and more in this material world.Chant the holy names, Hare Krishna maha-mantra Read the spotless scriptures (Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam)  that glorifies the Supreme Lord Eat Sanctified food, (Sanctify food by offering it to Supreme Lord before eating)Srimad Bhagavatam says:  All the inauspicious things in our heart are completely destroyed by reading Srimad Bhagavatam every day. The darkness of ignorance is dissipated and we become situated in the mode of goodness and develop all good qualities.By eating Sanctified food (Food Offered to the Supreme Lord) we do not incur further sinful reactions. Krishna says in the Bhagavad-Gita (Chapter 3, Text 13): Devotees who eat food offered to the Supreme Lord first as sacrifice are released from all kinds of sins.Thus, by following these three simple, but effective principles given by Srila Prabhupada, we can achieve a life of happiness, good health, peace of mind, and all good qualities
