Bhagavad-Gita

Bhagavad-Gita:



The Bhagavad-gita is the well-known philosophical speech that took place among Lord Krishna and the warrior Arjuna, just before the onset of the huge Bharata War. Though usually published and read by it, the Bhagavad-gita initially appears as an event in the Sixth Book of the Mahabharata. In this thesis of 700 verses, Lord Krishna steadily survey the main Vedic dharmas and shows how every directs a person toward the final conclusion, the "most secret of all awareness." He analyzes the performance of give up and the worship of demigods; He discusses the yogas of effort, thought, and awareness. In every case, LordKrishna shows how it leads to the "a large amount secrets of all secrets, “pure loving devotional service to God. "Always think of me and become my devotee. Respect Me and present you homage unto me." This, Lord Sri Krishna says is "the most confidential part of knowledge."

The Gita is the best of the Vedas and the spirit of the soul-elevating Upanishads. It is a worldwide scripture related to people of all temperaments and for all times. It is an amazing book with inspiring judgment and sensible advice on Yoga, attachment, Vedanta and Action. It is profound in thought and sublime in heights of vision. It brings silence and comfort to souls that are afflicted by the three fires of worldly being, namely, afflictions caused by one's own body (disease etc), those caused by beings around one (e.g. wild animals, snakes etc.), and those caused by the gods (natural disasters, earth-quakes, floods etc).

It includes the advice particular by Sri Krishna about the duties of life as fine as religious obligations. Sin arises not from the life of the work itself but since the outlook with which the effort is performed. While it is perform without attachment to the effect, it cannot tarnish the soul and impede its quest. True Yoga consists in the acquisition of knowledge and the way during life in harmony with the final laws of equanimity, non-attachment to the fruits of action, and faith in the pervasiveness of the highest Spirit. Absorption in that Spirit can be attain beside numerous paths; and no path is to be favorite wholly and none to be disdained. The Gita emphasizes the meaning of facts, charity, penance and worship, and does not decry life as evil.
