Pankaja_Dasa Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 Hare Krishna. Lord Krishna and Arjuna were speaking the Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Vedya-vyasa hearing this and at the same time recited to Ganapati who wrote it down (Bhagavad-gita is within the Mahabharata). It says Vedya-vyasa wrote down all the Scriptures, so Ganapati wrote down ONLY Mahabharata right? Did Vedya-vyasa write down the Scriptures in meditation later (after the Battlefield of Kurukshetra?). Or while it took place. ? Quote
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Posted August 1, 2006 HARE KRISHNA ! Pankaja_Dasa Good question ! I am also puzzled by the source of our scripture - e.g MAHABHRAT - where is the original or which one is the oldest copy - from where did SP translate his scriptures from - e.g BHAGAVAT GITA AS IT IS. CAN ANY OF THE "SCHOLARS" SHED SOME LIGHT ? JASWANT Quote
Pankaja_Dasa Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Posted August 1, 2006 The original Sanskit have been in exsistance since 5000 years ago or more, even Shankracarya (The Leader of the Mayavadis), accepted the 700 verses as athethentic, so there is no doubt regarding is athenticity (if it has been changed or interpolenated) AS it is carried (by Divya-jnana (transcedental realization to the living enity (soul), by living Scriptures (Spiritual masters). Srila Prabhupada for the first time gave an athentic translation. Following the succession. >>Brahma>>Narada>>Vyasa>>Madhavacharya>> (..) Chaitanya Mahaprabhu>> (..) Bhaktisiddhanta>> Prabhupada.

Lord Krishna and Arjuna were speaking the Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Vedya-vyasa hearing this and at the same time recited to Ganapati who wrote it down (Bhagavad-gita is within the Mahabharata). How did Vedya-vyasa heard the conversation between Lord Krishna and Arjuna? Isn't Lord Krishna was saying it only to Arjuna? Bhagabad-Gita is inside the Mahabharata-----so how did it separate? Please///......explain!!! Quote
Gaea Posted August 1, 2006 Report Posted August 1, 2006 How did Vedya-vyasa heard the conversation between Lord Krishna and Arjuna?Isn't Lord Krishna was saying it only to Arjuna? Bhagabad-Gita is inside the Mahabharata-----so how did it separate? Please///......explain!!! Just as Sanjaya had divine vision, and was narrting BG and the happenings of the battlefield to Dhritharastra, though they were in Hastinapura, in the same way Vyaas knew everything. In fact Vyaas is none other than an Amsha Avatara of Visnu Himself!! The way i heard it (have not read facts specifically) is that Vyaas narrated MB to Sri Ganesha before the events happened. BG is not separate from MB - it is part of the stiory, in the Bhishma Parva (chapter). But its contents are so different from the context of the rest of MB in spiritual nature that it was treeated as a separate text ubto its own right. Also, Krsna confirms he spoke BG to the Sun God many aeons ago so it is indeed like a diamond set into a golden crown - i piece of jewellery in its own right. Quote

Pankaja_Dasa Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Posted August 2, 2006 Narada Rsi asked Srila Vedya Vyasa to compile the Srimad-Bhagavatam AFTER Vedya-Vyasa has written all Scriptures, Veda, (4), Vedanta-sutra, Puranas etc Then The Srimad-Bhagavatam was composed after the Bhagavad-gita. Quote
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 "The original Sanskit have been in exsistance since 5000 years ago or more, " where are the text kept ? can anyone view them - there are traditions that actually worship the texts - "(if it has been changed or interpolenated) AS it is carried (by Divya-jnana (transcedental realization to the living enity (soul), by living Scriptures (Spiritual masters)." plse explain more Quote
Pankaja_Dasa Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Posted August 2, 2006 No text can last so long, it was written down, then written down etc. Passed on, Devotee to devotee Quote
johny Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 Dear sir What I think is that we should not take this literely. Because Loard Krishna cannot make such a long lecture in front of two armies intended to kill each other. Bhagavath Geetha is the message that loard krishna gives to the whole mankind, not to Arjuna only. It is the sum total of the meaning of all the Vedas and upanishads. Quote

The armies only waited for about an hour - that is how long it took Krishna to speak the Gita to His servant... Quote
