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."

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,...

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.

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...
