Gambling of all description like Casino Games ,Table Games, Electronic gaming, Horse Racing,& many more other gamblings which are very impure in nature,even speculative business enterprise, is considered to be degrading, and when gambling is encouraged in the state, there is a complete disappearance of truthfulness.Gambling is prohibitied because it increases ones greed to earn more money to satisfy his/her lust. And lust leads to sinful activities. But in regard to share market it may be labelled under gambling or may not depending on the OBJECTIVE of the investor. Generally traders do gamble in share market and completely OBSESSED with the market , they put all their energy in MAKING MONEY only and totally forget that their is something beyond money BUT it is not the case with all who invests in stock MARKET, generally a common person who invests in Share market through mutual fund for saving purpose thus he/she can achieve some long term objective in life like retirement, childrens education, sons/daughters marriage that person not become that much obsessed like the person earlier.So investing in share cant be called gambling, if one is not obsessed with share market and just INVEST for long term objective and may even to the extent to use the lump sum for making a temple or donating a land for Adorable Krishna & for Krishna Consciousness movement. It is not that only share market, even LIC,PPF,FI,RD all invest their money in share market. Then what can be done. One vivid example is the Pandavas. When the Pandavas were challenged by the opposite party, Duryodhana, to gamble and risk their kingdom, they could not refrain, and by that gambling they lost their kingdom, and their wife , Draupadi was also insulted. Nothing is auspicious here. But all become auspicious when we lead a Krishna conscious life using this material stuffs for Krishnas service. (Adopt Krishna Consciousness) Think about it, Again & Again Think About it !!
