How Short Is Life?

How short is life? Did you ever stop to think about? To wonder how short is my life going to be and how am I spending it? What will happen when I die?...

Wherever our spiritual teacher is there is a group of people from all parts of the world who have traveled the globe just to get his association. Amongst the international group now there is Sripad Bhakti Achintya Madhav Maharaj who is a priest from Russia. He is very unique and always has ideas and examples for presenting spiritual concepts. He is a big strong man with a sweet yet stern looking face. He looks a little intimidating because of his extremely focused personality but once you get to know him and he gives you his surprise smile and random outbursts of jokes you see how sweet he is. He does a lot of preaching in Russia and always has some new presentations and ideas to share. He is especially unique because he uses video clips and other types of media presentations from different places like youtube etc., and transforms their meaning into spiritual concepts based on the philosophy of Bhakti Yoga. Today he showed us a movie clip about life and how short it is. It is made for an Xbox commercial I think. Have a look. But, if life is so short? What are you going to do? Play video games?
