Gita Jayanti

December 8, 2008

Nice Thoughts! I really feel that Bhagvad Gita has become more relevant today than at the times of Mahabharata. One should consider ourselves to be modern day Arjuna and move on to the path of Gita laid by Lord Krishna himself. Indeed, Lord Krishna manifests himself eternally in the form of Gita - Essence of All vedic spiritual sea of knowledge.May the Lord grace us all with his blessings in the form spiritual advancement.RegardsAshishneelam gupta

Dear All,The Bhagavad Gita contains the divine words emanating from the lips of Bhagwaan

Himself. Its glory is infinite, unlimited. None can really describe it. The

fact is that a full desrciption of the glory of the Gita is never possible. For

how can a thing which can be fully described remain unlimited? It at once become finite and limited.

As a scripture, the Gita embodies the supreme spiritual mystery and secret. It

contains the essence of all the four Vedas. Its style is so simple and elegant

that after a little study man can easily follow the structure of its words; but

the thought behind those words is so deep and abstruse that even a lifelong,

constant study does not show one the end of it. Everyday Gita exhibits a new

facet to thought, hence the Gita remains eternally new. Deep reflection with

reverence and faith will make it directly appear impregnated with deep meaning

at every step. The virtues, glory, essential character, truth, mystery and

worship of God, as well as, the topics of Action and Knowledge have been

discussed in the Gita in such a manner that its parallel can hardly be found in

any other book. As a scripture, the Gita is so incomparable that there is no word in it which is

free from some instructive thought. And whatever statements that have been made

in it are true to the very letter.

The Gita is the epitome of all the scriptures and the essence of all the

scriptures is to be found in it. And it would be no exaggeration indeed, if it

is called the very storehouse of all scriptural knowledge. For the mastery of

Gita may lead one automatically to a comprehension of the spiritual truths

contained in other scriptures and no separate study is required to obtain this knowledge.

Bhagwaan (God) Himself has said, - "I take My stand on the Gita, the Gita

is supreme abode. I maintain the three worlds on the strength of the wisdom

contained in the Gita." Apart from this, in the Gita itself the Lord

openly declares that he who follows His instruction sin the shape of the Gita

will undoubtedly attain liberation. Not only this, He further says that even he

who studies this scripture, will have worshipped Him through wisdom-sacrifice.

When such is the value of a mere study of the Gita, what shall we say of the

man who has moulded his life according to its teachings, who engages God's

devotees into its secrets and disseminates and propagates its teachings among

them. Referring to such a man, Bhagwaan says that he is very dear to Him. It will be no exaggeration to say

that he is dearer to God than His very life. The Lord subordinates Himself to

the will of such devotees. The Gita constitutes Bhagwaan's principle mystic

teachings. What wonder, then that the follower of these teachings should be

dearer to Him than even His life? (By: Syt. Jayadayal Goyandka)Bhagwaan's grace in the form of Gita is already showering on us in abundance. May we therefore on this very auspicious Gita Jayanti day, resolve to be receptive to that grace.

Wish you all a very spiritually uplifting GITA JAYANTI. RegardsNeelam(PS: For the benefit of our group members, I am taking the liberty to post this message from sadhak insight group)
