Bhagavadgeeta : ( 26/11/2012. )

Srimad Bhagavadgeeta : Chapter -4. ( Jnana karma sanyasa yogam ) Slokam – 17.[ Karma means movement, Akarmam means Static ( without movement), understood from slokam -16, then what is there to learn about it? Lord Krishna explains this in this slokam-17.] Karmano hyapi bhoddhavyam bhoddhavyam ca vikarnmanah Akarmanasca bhoddhavyam gahana karmano gatih. Karmanah = What is the true form of karma, Bhoddhavyam = Need to know. Vikarmanah ca = about restricted ( not allowed ) karma too, Bhoddhavyam = need to know. Akarmanah api ca = The nature of Akarma too, Bhoddhavyam = need to know. Hi = Why because, Karmanah gatih = the secret of karmam,  Gahana = is difficult to know. Life is certainly karmam. When karmam stands still, it means death. Doing karmam only, it is possible to make progress or not. Stagnant water becomes dirty where as flowing water have no dirts, it is clean and made usable. As life is movement, throughout life we have to do karma. The f...

Catur vidha bhajanthe mam janah sukrutino arjuna Aarttho gijnasu artthartthee jnani ca bharatarshaba. Bharatarshaba! Arjuna! = The best of Bharatheeya Arjuna! Aarthah = The first type called Aarthan Gijnasu = The second type called Gijnasu Artthartthee = The third type called Artthartthi Jnani ca = The fourth type called Jnani, this way  Catur vidha sukrutinah janah = Four types of holy atmas ( persons) Mam bhajanthe = Do prayer to me. For everything stimulation and strength is given by Atma. All matters function with life due to dependency to Atma chaithanyam. A train engine is made of steel/iron, it pulls bogies carrying persons and goods and moves forward, this pull and movement is made possible not by steal/iron but by some other thing (power )in the engine ( steam). The foolish human beings live in the misunderstanding that they are the bodies or the minds or the intelligence, and exhibit the chaithanyam through their dead matters. Those people who...

Janma  karma  ca  me  divyam  evam  yo  vetthi  tattvatah, Tyaktva  deham  punarjanma  naiti  mameti  sorjuna. Arjuna  =  Dear Arjuna, Me divyam  janma  =  My divine janmam, Karma ca evam tattvatah  =  Karmam  this tattvic ( principle ) way, Yah vetthi  sah  = One  who  knows, Deham  tyaktva  =  Sacrifice (leave )  his  body, Punar  janma  na  eti  =  Thereafter never attain rebirth, Mam  eti  = ( But ) attain ( unite with )  me. ( He becomes God himself, Jeevatma and Paramatma supreme union ). In the last  slokam ( 8 th ), 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...

Paritranaya Sadhunam Vinasaya ca Dushkrutam  Dharmasamsthapanarthaya Sabhvami yuge yuge.  Sadhunam Paritranaya = To protect and save good people  Dushkrutam Vinasaya = To destroy and wipe out the bad people  Dharmasamsthapanarthaya ca = To sustain and maintain Dharmam  Yuge yuge Sambhvami = My incarnation takes place every yugam It is clear, that a birth from the Lord, must need a cause/desire, where there is no desire karma never takes place.  Without the aid of any instrument the presence of electricity is not seen/felt. Likewise, the Brahmam, if to take the form of the Lord or human form, some sort of desire/aim should be behind it.  Then what is the aim of Krishnavatharam? This is clear from Vyasamaharishi's words. The desire for unselfish service to the world is the highest and superior desire that one should have, whereever it is, it is the desire only.  Nikotine may not kill human suddenly, still it is poison.  Just l...

"Urdhvamoolamadhahsakam aswatham prahurvyam chandhamsi yasya parnnani yastam veda sa vedavit." Urdhvamoolam = Roots above,upwards Adhahsakam = Branches below, lowards Avyam = non-perishable Aswatham = About Aswatha tree (Pupil tree/ Arayal) Prahuha = ( Jnanis) declared Chandhmsi yasya parnnani = Vedas its leaves Yaha tam veda = one who know it Sa vedavit = He is Vedajnan. Vedavyasa mahrishi draws a picture in detail from a famous slokam in Kathopanishad : {II-VI(1)} about Samsara vruksham (tree) and its relationship with the Infinite. Swami Adi SANKARACHARYA comments this way : Naswaha api sthita iti - swaha = tomorrow, stha = sustain, A = not, Aswatha = not even sustain tomorrow; otherwise means Naswaram.Aswatha vruksham is the symbol for ever evolutionary Samsaram (life). From only one, non-duel, Brahmam: how name and form ( Jagat)- body + mind + intelligence and their objects( vishaya) are formed? If such jagat formed then who sustains and m...
