A Divine Revelation

    Week 13, chapter 4 shlokas 7- 20   Reveals Krishna- His divinity and the purpose of his incarnation. That, whenever the dharma is destroyed and immorality or unrighteousness prevails-- I incarnate (take form/manifest) to protect the dharma (righteousness). I incarnate to protect those who worship me and are righteous. I incarnate to swallow the darkness of ignorance, to destroy those who harm the righteous. I incarnate era to era to establish the dharma and to celebrate everything and everyone who are righteous. Those who know this are the ones who are enlightened.

The 'sadbuddhi' (some more reflections on Buddhi- yoga)

Week 14, Chapter 4( Shlokas 15-28) Chants

 So friends welcome to week 14, we talk about doing actions with awareness so that we are not touched by fear, anger & cravings. But people gets confused when to act and when not to act. We also learn in these verses  how to overcome feverishness. We do actions where we expect results and some where we dont expect any results. Expectations brings feverishness. We should be equipoise in gain and loss. Comparisons always brings jealousy. We learnt that doing all action as Yagya will help and we also learnt about the different types of yagya. Hope you all enjoy my recordings and dont forget to put your  feedbacks in comment. See you next week.
