Friday, Nov 29, 2013. Srimad Bhagavadgeeta : Chapter-4 : Jnana karma sanyasa yogam. Slokam- 13. "Caturvarnniyam maya srushtam guna karma vibhagacsah Tasya karttaramapi mam viddhi akarattara avyayam." Guna karma vibhagacsah = According to guna, karma nature, catur varnniyam = Four varnas (colours), Maya srushtam = Created by me, Tasya karttaram api = Though kartha of that, Avyayam mam = Emotionless me, Akarttaram viddhi = Know me that, I don't have karttyatvam ( doer). This slokam was wrongly interpreted since the middle ages by those who are in favour of this social injustice (cruelty) among the citizens --"The Caste System." In Yoga Sastram [ Science of Yoga ( not mean yogasana) ] Trigunas ( Satva, Rajas and Tamas ) are given colours. They are : White for satvam, Red for rajas, Black for tamas. Human beings are the sum of Cittavrutti : (Vasanas + more negative, less positive thoughts). From distance the word thought looks alike,

( He becomes God himself, Jeevatma and Paramatma supreme union ). In the last slokam ( 8th ), Avatharam (Incarnation) what for? , and how it is possible? , after explaining these things in general, Lord declares : “Those who understand my the Avatar leelas ( plays ), thereafter, continuously meditate come out of all bounds of relationships, and unite with the Supreme Truth The Infinite. The Sanskrit word ‘Tattvat

Saturday, Nov16, 2013. Srimad Bhagavadgeeta : Chaper-4. (Jnana-karma-sanyasa-yogam ), Slokam-1.  As far as Bharatheeya ( people of Bharatham ) is concerned, there is no place for novelty in the field of "Adhyatmikam" ( Spirituality ), they ( people ) have no attraction to any thing new, until and unless the novelty gets cleared and approved by the Veda, it is not accepted  as the part of Brahma-vidya, hence it is understood that, our cultural identity is rooted in Veda.This slokam is a starter of this principle, Lord Krishna begins with this slokam as the continuation of previous chapter. Slokam : 1. Imam   vivasvate   yogam   proktavan-aham-avyayam, Vivasvan   manave   praaha   manu-ikshakave   abraveet. Avyayam   imam   yogam  =  This un-perishable  yogam, Aham   vivasvate   proktavan  =  I   passed   on  ( gave/transferred this knowledge)  to Suryan ( Sun ), Vivasvan   manave   praaha  =  Sun ( later ) passed on  this knowledge to his so

Monday, Nov 11,  2013. Srimad Bhagavadgeeta : Chapter-3. ( Karmayogam) Slokam-38. Dhumenavriyate    vahnih    yathadarso    malena   ca, Yatholabenavruto   garbah    tatha     tenedamavrutam.

Thursday, Nov 07, 2013. Srimad Bhagavadgeeta: Chapter-3. ( Karmayogam ) Slokam-35.Clarfies that { Vasana-nirmargganam ( Removal of Vasanas) } : Swadharmam is the way to achieve this act!!  Sreyan swadharmo vigunah paradharmat swanushtitat Swadharme nidhanam sreyah paradharmo bayavah. Swanushtitat = Sincerely following, Paradharmat = than paradharma, Vigunah = though inferior, Swadharmah sreyan = Swadharmam far better. Swadharme = Active in Swadharma way, Nidhanam sreyah = Even death has superior value. Paradharmah bayavaha = Paradharmam produces fear. Anything in the world, which one is sustaining this as it is, that is its " Dharmam." The standard of thoughts , of one individual, differs from one person to the other.The accumulated thoughts of the past, and the way of thinking, with time this is deposited as hard, become the "Vasanas" of a person. Hence Dharmam, here means Vasanas, any other meaning will not match in this co

Sunday, Nov 03, 2013. Srimad Bhagavadgeeta : Chapter-3.(Karmayogam) Slokam-16. Evam    pravarttitam    cakram    nanuvarttayateeha    yah, Akkhayurindriyaramo    mokkham   partha   sa   jeevati. Partha    =    Arjuna, Evam   pravarttitam   cakkram    =    Thus active, the yajna-karma-wheel, Iha   yah    =    Whom so ever in this world, Na    anuvarttayatee    =    Not following, Akkhayuh   indriyaramo    =    The sinner, and slave to sense-organ's materialistic pleasures, Sa   mokkham   jeevati     =     He turns his life a mere wastage.  Arjuna, a man who does not follow this prescribed Vedic system of sacrifice certainly leads a life of sin, for a person delighting only in the senses lives in vain. One lives in vain who does not follow here the wheel thus set in motion, whose life is sinful, and who indulges in the senses. Therefore it is so that he, who in his life fails to adopt the cyclic order of sacrifice as one finds in nature,
