The bestower of grace

Week 28, Chapter 10, Shloka 8-11

I am the creator and preserver of this world. I am omnipresent, and those who see me in every being are my true worshippers.

मच्चित्ता मद्गतप्राणा बोधयन्त: परस्परम् |
कथयन्तश्च मां नित्यं तुष्यन्ति च रमन्ति च || 9||

mach-chittā mad-gata-prāṇā bodhayantaḥ parasparam
kathayantaśh cha māṁ nityaṁ tuṣhyanti cha ramanti cha

तेषां सततयुक्तानां भजतां प्रीतिपूर्वकम् |
ददामि बुद्धियोगं तं येन मामुपयान्ति ते || 10||

teṣhāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam
dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ yena mām upayānti

तेषामेवानुकम्पार्थमहमज्ञानजं तम: |

नाशयाम्यात्मभावस्थो ज्ञानदीपेन भास्वता || 11||

teṣhām evānukampārtham aham ajñāna-jaṁ tamaḥ
nāśhayāmyātma-bhāva-stho jñāna-dīpena bhāsvatā

When those who enjoy oneness with me interact- the knowledge in them flows like the water flows in two ponds when connected. Overwhelmed, they announce the sacred knowledge to the whole world when it is to be kept a secret. And cannot hide their fragrant existence as the lotus cannot hide its fragrance once it is bloomed.

They take very less from me- when I desire to give them something out of my love for them, I see they already have access to it. And now all I can do is to protect and shield their love from the night of ignorance. I nourish them as I have very few of them.

Like a mother looks after her infant, I look after my devotees and take care of their needs. I have sold me along with Shri Lakshmi to Shesha, and have saved my pure love- the pure joy of the spirit exclusively for them as they worship me for myself only.

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...
