Circle Stamp Depot Nasik Information: IT Modernization of DOP and its progress......

We all know that IT modernization of DOP is going on rapidly. Utilization of modern technology is not bad, but the purpose should be good. Whatever the employees of DOP were doing manually in the past, now it is done on computers, internet etc i.e. with the aid of technology. But the employees remain at the front.

Now the effect of any work we do, on ourself as well as on the DOP or others, is based on the consciousness in which we are doing the work. Frankly speaking all are doing the work for earning livelihood. This is the main reason for working and it is very correct even as per our shastras. Like in Bhagvadgita Lord Sri Krishna says to Arjuna -

|| नियतम कुरु कर्म त्वं कर्म ज्यायो हिअकर्मणः ,

शरीरयात्रापि च ते न प्रसिध्दयेदकर्मणः || (BG 4.8)

i.e. Perform your prescribed duty, for doing so is better than not working. One cannot even maintain one's physical body without work.

So Krishna advises Arjuna to perform his duty with all dedication. But Sri Krishna also tells Arjuna -

|| यद्न्यार्थातकर्मणोअन्यत्र लोकोअयम कर्मबन्धनः ।

तदर्थं कर्म कौन्तेय मुक्त संगः समाचरः || (BG 4.9)

i.e. Work done as a sacrifice for Vishnu has to be performed; otherwise work causes bondage in this material world. Therefore, O son of Kunti, perform your prescribed duties for His satisfaction, and in that way you will always remain free from bondage.

In Bhagvad gita Krishna teaches all humanity to perform our work dedicated to him only. This will keep us free from bondage to the reactions of our work.

So as great Acharyas guide us, we should always keep in mind while working that we are doing the work for Krishna's satisfaction. That is the simple way to be Krishna conscious. By doing so we will not have to face the reactions of many sins that we perform knowingly or unknowingly while doing our work or duty. Krishna is taking full responsibility of the person who does all his work for Krishna's satisfaction - अहम् त्वाम सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्ष ईष्यामि माशुचः (BG 18.66).

When we do our work in Krishna consciousness i.e. dedicated to Krishna / Vishnu, it has very good effect on ourself (our mind, body and intelligence), the Department and others connected to it. All will ultimately become happy and peaceful. This will help for making a good civilization and situation in the country or world and will make our lives peaceful.

Also by worshiping Krishna in this way will purify our mind, intelligence and heart. This will help to eradicate the evil thoughts from us and will help us to perform our work with more efficiency.

Hence the Modernisation of DOP and Krishna consciousness can very easily go hand in hand.... Only we need to change our consciousness from material to spiritual or to Krishna consciousness.
