HAPPY GITA JAYANTI:

                                        

I have found great satisfaction in sharing articles with all of you, mostly based on the Vedic Scriptures Gita & Bhagavatam. Sharing the articles is my Devotion to the God/Gita/Guru and Reading the articles, meaning reading the Gita is your Devotion to God...LOL 😂. My Blog is null & void if there is no mention of the Gita’s slokas. I am addicted to Gita and hopefully my addiction will continue by the grace of Guru & God.... LOL 😂 LOL 🤣...LOL.

Today is the 5156th anniversary of Gita on Mokshada Ekadashi. Let’s proudly celebrate the Gita’s birthday by hearing, reading, writing or chanting it’s Slokas. Gītā is a Masterpiece of Spiritual Science & Yoga. It is not a book of religion, but rather a book of spiritual knowledge to know my inner Spiritual nature. Gita is eternal, it’s meaning does not change with time, places or circumstances. Gita’s philosophy is profound & universally applicable to any consciousness, community & culture, irrespective of the their religion & nationalities.

Gita shows me the path to become a great Human Being. The philosophy of the Gita can empower us with the spiritual intelligence & wisdom to live a thoughtful, compassionate, enthusiastic, peaceful, happy & inspirational life. Thoughts of Gita can help us to get rid of bad habits, improve our lifestyle & elevate our consciousness. By hearing, reading, understanding & implementing the fundamental truths & principles from the Gita, we can become Joyful, Vibrant, Sober & Responsible people.

Gita is not a book of commandments, but it is book of the choices & consequences of choosing these choices. It is a love letter from God to us. It is a book which reveals the vision of God who respects the human Intelligence & Free Will. Yet, it is up to me how deliberately I want to use my free will & intelligence while making choices in this world. At the end of the day, my choices, thoughts, words, actions & behavior have an impact on me, my family, friends, society and the nation I live in. 

Some times I get tempted or carried away to encourage my family & friends to read the Gita because Gita is a like a fruit, so delicious, tasty & juicy....LOL 😀.

Bg 13.24 — One who understands this philosophy concerning material nature, the living entity and the interaction of the modes of nature is sure to attain liberation. He will not take birth here again, regardless of his present position. 

Bg 18.63 — Thus I have explained to you knowledge still more confidential. Deliberate on this fully, and then do what you wish to do. Vedabase.io

Have a Gita Reading Day.

It is easy to say, but difficult to follow. I am in the same boat with everyone else, or I may even be behind, but thinking in the right direction will help us to go in the right direction.   

With respect to everyone’s values & beliefs, whichever GUIDELINES ( Bible, Quran, Torah, Tripitaka-Buddhism, Agama-Jainism, Guru Granth Sahib-Sikhism, Gita or any other...) METHODS or WAYS work for us is good. 

THANK YOU.

MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION , SOURCE & THE GURUS:

I am inspired to hear & read the Vedic Scriptures by regularly listening to Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale, also known as Dadaji ( speaks on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and the association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra. 

I also hear and read the discourses & literature on Vedic thoughts from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples ( HH Bhakti Rasamitra Swami, HH Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Shubha Vilas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, HH Bhakticharu Swami, HH Urmila Devi Dasi, HH Sivarama Swami, HH Radhanath Swami, HH Romapada Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu (Gujarati & Hindi), Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......). 

FYI: A good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures. Repeatedly hearing/reading & meditating the Scriptures, Eating Sanctified Pure Food and Chanting or Hearing the Vedic Mantras are nourishing to our heart (Soul), transcendental to our consciousness, purifying to our senses and thus helps us to overcome our weaknesses or deficiencies. Yes, we do have good qualities within us but there is always a room for improvement. 

It is always a good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. Thanks to the Facebook & Social media for providing me the platform. Of course I use Smartphone & Google search to collect some data. 

Besides my parents, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE. Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of the Guru & God (Krishna , Absolute Truth).

NOTE:
Many times a word Hearing is used instead of Listening when it comes to the Scriptures. Because Scriptures are so potent that simply by Hearing them even if you don’t try to interpret or analyze or understand them still there will be passive positive effects on our mind & senses.

We can follow either the Quran, Bible,Torah, Tripitaka-Buddhism, Agama-Jainism, Guru Granth Sahib-Sikhism, Gita or any other Philosophy which makes sense to us, purifies us, elevates our consciousness and qualifies us to understand God and instill the love of God & his creation. (whichever way we can understand God — either Personal with many names or Impersonal as an universal consciousness & energy).

Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion or Depiction (means image, picture...etc) but try to understand him by the Definition through Scriptures. The Transcendental subject of God & his creation cannot be understood by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why is the circle circular? Just by definition, the circle is circular. Similarly by definition, God is unborn, complete, unlimited, infinite, eternal, the Absolute Truth the source of everything, cause of all causes. 

I see God, besides the above mentioned qualities, as an eternal living person (not a abstract or some kind of light) known by the name KRISHNA meaning one who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, forms, abodes, incarnations, activities, qualities, associates, is full of wisdom, bliss, and the cause of all causes.

Bg 9.17 — I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support and the grandsire. I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable oṁ. I am also the Ṛg, the Sāma and the Yajur Vedas.

TEXT 18: Gita 9.18: I am the goal, the sustainer, the master, the witness, the abode, the refuge and the most dear friend. I am the creation and the annihilation, the basis of everything, the resting place and the eternal seed.

Bg:13-12:— Accepting the importance of self-realization; and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth ( God ) – all these I declare to be knowledge, and besides this whatever there may be is ignorance. ( Vedabase.com ).
