We all are trying to make our life peaceful. Srila Prabhupada comments that although we have moved from castor oil lamp to the electric lamp. But, doing this, we have forgot our real and ultimate goal of life.

And, we got entraped in the terrible net of material miseries. Question is: we are going to get pleasure

Bhagavad Gita on Detachment and Professional Success

Bhagavad Gita on Detachment and Professional Success

Hare Krishna!!

Modern days’ agenda is: NO success means NO input given. Everyone wants success in one shot. Many of us fail in our attempts several times. Yet we do not know the process of success.

Let us start with this topic, keeping in view the conclusions of our Vedic store of knowledge:

We all keep a misunderstanding of so-called “outer detachment” as the real definition of detachment. However, this is not so.

In Bhagavad Gita (3.6), “One who restrains the senses of action but whose mind dwells on sense objects certainly deludes himself and is called a pretender.” (mithyācāraḥ sa ucyate)

Such pretending leads to NO success. Better is to engage in our prescribed duty without attachment

and satisfy the Supreme Lord. (yajñārthāt karmaṇo ’nyatra loko ’yaṁ karma-bandhanaḥ—BG 3.9)

Embracing Change: Lessons From The Bhagavad Gita For Personal Growth

There is a famous saying that “There is nothing permanent except Change”. Yes it is, everything in this material world is prone to change. It could be a small thing to bigger one eg. our behaviour, body, circumstances, relationships, climate, everything you can imagine. Why is this so? Lord Krishna says in Bg. 2.27 that “One who has taken his birth is sure to die, and after death one is sure to take birth again.” So in this material world things which have taken birth or created are sure to die or end one day.

UNDERSTANDING THE THREE GUNAS: SATTVA, RAJAS AND TAMAS IN THE BHAGAVAD-GĪTĀ

BG

Material nature consists of three modes of material nature : goodness, passion and ignorance. We we as living entities are originally pure and eternal having a blissful nature in connection to Krishna but due to our contact with material nature from time immemorial, we have  thus forgotten our transcendental nature and now what we see our activities are actually the perverted forms of the divine activities and are influenced and contaminated by the three modes of material nature that are mentioned above. The illusory potency of the supreme personality of Godhead Krishna, also known as Maya, consists of these three modes of material nature. According to the vedic literatures, we come to know that when a living entity desires to enjoy independently from the Lord, who is our Supreme well wisher and father, gradually he forgets Him and then we get bound up by the illusory potency and thus suffer in various forms in this material world. This is originally due to our forgetfulness of Krishna, as originally we are His part and parcels.Lord Krishna says in Bg. 15.7;

IMPORTANT PARAMETERS OF DEVELOPMENT

Development is what everyone seek for. Nobody wants to go progressing towards a negative slope. If we want to check anyone’s progress, we judge him by the qualities or qualifications he acquire.

Unraveling the Concept of Detachment in the Bhagavad Gītā

In our daily life, we all go through the two phases or dualities of life. We all want to relish its one phase, but say ‘NO’ to the other phase. We all want to seek good relationships with our friends, relatives and colleagues. However, we don’t want to go through the reverses of life. Some people do not want to accept this, thus they gravely say ‘Chodo ghar dwar, chalo Haridwar’. Bhagavad Gita fails this logic of detachment as a whole. In BG (6.34), Arjuna states the nature of mind (cañcalam hi manah krsna) that is more difficult than controlling the wind. How could one detach by mind? The mind is the root cause of all problems. Avanti Brahman spends his household life in no charity. He was so miser that his family members and his earnings could not help him at the last stage of life. He then understands that his mind is bringing all the material problems.

It is the essence of Vedic knowledge and one of the most important Upanisads in Vedic literature.

Similarly, the Bhagavad Gita should be taken or accepted as it is directed by the speaker himself.  The speaker of the Bhagavad Gita is Lord Sri Krishna. He is mentioned on every page of the Bhagavad Gita as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Bhagavan. Therefore we should take Bhagavad-gita As It Is directed by the Personality of Godhead Himself.

अध्याय ११ – विराट रूप ( सार )

अध्याय ११ – विराट रूप ( सार ) – अध्याय दस मे श्रीकृष्ण के ऐश्वर्य का वर्णन है तथा अध्याय दस के अंत मे भगवान अर्जुन से कहते है कि मैं अपने एक अंशमात्र से सम्पूर्ण ब्रहमांड मे व्याप्त होकर इसे धारण करता हूँ | यह सुनकर अर्जुन भगवान से प्रार्थना करते है कि वह उन्हें अपना विराट रूप दिखाए | अर्जुन इस बात को स्वीकार करते है कि श्रीकृष्ण एक साधारण मनुष्य नहीं है, अपितु समस्त कारणों के कारण है | किन्तु वह यह जानते है कि दूसरे लोग नहीं मानेंगे। अत: इस अध्याय में वह सबों के लिए कृष्ण की अलौकिकता स्थापित करने के लिए कृष्ण से प्रार्थना करता है कि वे अपना विराट रूप दिखलाएँ।

वस्तुत: जब कोई अर्जुन की ही तरह कृष्ण के विराट रूप का दर्शन करता है, तो वह डर जाता है, किन्तु कृष्ण इतने दयालु हैं कि इस स्वरूप को दिखाने के तुरन्त बाद वे अपना मूलरूप धारण कर लेते हैं। भगवान् कृष्ण अर्जुन को दिव्य दृष्टि प्रदान करते हैं और विश्व-रूप में अपना अद्भुत असीम रूप प्रकट करते हैं। इस प्रकार वे अपनी दिव्यता स्थापित करते हैं। कृष्ण बतलाते हैं कि उनका सर्व आकर्षक मानव-रूप ही ईश्वर का आदि रूप है। मनुष्य शुद्ध भक्ति के द्वारा ही इस रूप का दर्शन कर सकता है।

 Importance Of Guru

जो अंधकार का निरोध करता है, उसे गुरु कहा जाता है ।

सच्चा गुरु भगवान का प्रतिनिधि होता है, और वह केवल भगवान के बारे में ही कहता है और कुछ नहीं। सच्चा गुरु वही है , जिसकी रुचि भौतिकवादी जीवन में नहीं होती। वह केवल और केवल भगवान की ही खोज में रहता है , यदि गुरु भगवान का प्रतिनिधित्व कर रहा है तो वह गुरु है।

केवल एक गुरु (सिद्ध पुरुष), जो ईश्वर को जानता है, दूसरों को सही ढंग से ईश्वर के बारे में शिक्षा दे सकता है। व्यक्ति को अपनी दिव्यता को पुनः पाने के लिए एक ऐसा ही सद्गुरु चाहिए। जो निष्ठापूर्वक सद्गुरु का अनुसरण करता है वह उसके समान हो जाता है, क्योंकि गुरु अपने शिष्य को अपने ही स्तर तक उठने में सहायता करता है।

महाभारत के युद्ध के समय जब अर्जुन युद्ध करने से मना करते हैं तब श्री कृष्ण उन्हें उपदेश देते है और कर्म व धर्म के सच्चे आध्यात्मिक ज्ञान से अवगत कराते हैं। स्वाभाविक प्रश्न यह उठता है कि हम आध्यात्मिक ज्ञान कैसे प्राप्त कर सकते हैं? इसका उत्तर श्रीकृष्ण इस श्लोक में देते हैं।

Is the World full of Sufferings?

Is the world full of sufferings

Is the World full of Sufferings? – It is very bewildering to think of a higher power being very merciful when so many people are suffering right in front of our eyes. Why are so many people suffering due to poverty, hunger, illness, and so many other pains in this world? How can the Supreme claim to be merciful and let the living entities suffer endlessly? Thinking along these lines, many people claim that there is no Supreme because if He did exist, He would not inflict such sufferings on the people. This is a very limited understanding with which we observe the world because we do not consider the actions of the victims but only the suffering they are going through

Reincarnation: A Matter of Chance or a Matter of Consciousness (08.06.2021)

Reincarnation: A Matter of Chance or a Matter of Consciousness (08.06.2021) – A conditioned soul has a certain consciousness and according to that consciousness, the Supersoul brings it to the semen of a man and guides it to the womb of a woman. Thereafter there is the formation of a single cell and from that single cell again by the guidance of the Supersoul starts to multiply. So if there is the consciousness of a dog, the soul would go to a dog’s body. So the subtle body consciousness is very important. The consciousness has a form that depends on whether one has performed piously or sinfully in previous births. And therefore it gets guided to a particular species where it gets a form accordingly. The body creates a restriction on the consciousness.

The Purpose of Life

The Purpose of life

The Purpose Of life – Although not many of us question our existence and the purpose of our life, we ultimately reach a point where consciously or unconsciously we have to decide what we plan to do with it. As humans, we have been given only a limited time on this planet and almost all of us have the desire to do something meaningful out of it. For each individual, this ‘meaning’ might vary but everyone will have something that is their calling. Be it achieving monetary success, fame, family, spirituality etc. The importance of a purpose is therefore very high because we are not machines who just follow a certain code but are sentient beings with the ability to think about our actions unlike the animals which follow the instincts of the senses.

What is Meditation?

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6 Summary - Dhyana Yoga

What is Meditation? – Whenever we talk of meditation there must be the object of meditation, then only our meditation will be steady. Our mind needs a beautiful and permanent object to meditate otherwise it will slip off. The object of meditation is like a hook to the mind. For example, if you love somebody, your beloved becomes an object of your meditation. You don’t have to force your mind to think of the person you love rather your mind thinks of your beloved incessantly. Only thing is that you have to give your mind the true object of its meditation. In absence of such an object, our meditation will be flickering.
