An auspicious opportunity

 Week 28, chapter 10, shlokas 12-18

 

Overwhelmed with all that is spoken by Shri Krishna- his divine revelation. Rejoicing with joy, Arjuna has nothing but gratitude to offer to Shri Krishna—listening from God himself about his own nature…

सर्वमेतदृतं मन्ये यन्मां वदसि केशव |
न हि ते भगवन्व्यक्तिं विदुर्देवा न दानवा: || 14||

sarvam etad ṛitaṁ manye yan māṁ vadasi keśhava
na hi te bhagavan vyaktiṁ vidur devā na dānavāḥ

 

स्वयमेवात्मनात्मानं वेत्थ त्वं पुरुषोत्तम |
भूतभावन भूतेश देवदेव जगत्पते || 15||

swayam evātmanātmānaṁ vettha tvaṁ puruṣhottama
bhūta-bhāvana bhūteśha deva-deva jagat-pate

 

 

     It is true that no human, deities or demons, or any other being can grasp the vastness of the supreme spirit, “only thy spirit knows thy spirit”—exclaims Arjuna. And so, realizing the auspiciousness of the opportunity he is granted, all he wants is to know more about the persona of Shri Krishna- the God almighty. Krishna should tell more about himself as no one else can tell about him- a knowledge no one can have excess to as the knowledge is too deep to be completely grasped by anyone other than the supreme spirit himself.

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.

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. These are the ones who don’t dwell on past or future—are free of lust or attachments/ indulgences—who remain grateful for my incarnation and are contented by the sip of pure knowledge. They are the ones who are like walking forests of wish-granting trees—such enlightened souls are auspicious, and they are naturally bound to attain their oneness with me. (shloka 9-10) I love all those who worshi...

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

    As Krishna continues talking about the buddhi- yoga , that is, when the heart is calm in both success and failures, pleasures and pains. Also, when the mana and buddhi are coordinated (are on the same page). One may say that buddhi- yoga is superior to  karma- yoga but on the contrary, buddhi- yoga cannot be attained till one perform karmas with detachment. The supreme state of karma ( uttaravastha ) is a natural state of yoga. By not desiring the outcome of the karmas, one gets liberated from the cycle of birth and death. And eventually, they also get liberated from the buddhi- yoga and attains their salvation- the state of brahmananda (shloka-51). I feel when Krishna talks about sadbuddhi , he talks about the pure desire of a seeker that consistently lights his path towards accepting that (deeds) which will lead him towards his enlightenment, and at the same time gives him wisdom to not accept those deeds that are prohibited or that are futile in ord...
