The Duty of Karma Yoga: Cooperating with Our Higher Self:  Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on October 14, 1984) ====================================================================================== The fourfold human nature is taken into consideration in the fourfold precept in regard to spiritual living, as we have it enunciated especially in the Twelfth Chapter of the Bhagavadgita. There are four verses which make out that a fourfold approach may become necessary in accordance with the preponderance of one or another characteristic constituting human nature as a whole. Our approach to anything is conditioned by the capacity we have to receive the truths of the world, the realities of life, and the meaning of things in general. To us, the world is that which is conce...

Article Scriptures The Language of the Bhagavadgita: 1.  Swami Krishnananda (Gita Jayanti Message spoken on December 26, 1982) ==================================================================================== The uttered word or the spoken language is essentially a vibration, and when words are spoken by the operation of the mechanism of speech in a properly conducted manner it sets up a power, a force, which materialises itself into the effect, the intention behind the word or the speech. There is an old saying of Bhavabhuti, the great poet, that in the case of ordinary people, speech follows existent things, and in the case of great Masters, things follow their speech. We cannot speak things which are contrary to observable facts. We follow the course of nature in the utterance of words. We are conditioned by an external atmosphere and a mandate, and accor...

Article Scriptures The Three Types of Discipline of the Bhagavadgita: 1  Swami Krishnananda. (Spoken on September 18th, 1974) ==================================================================================== I have been asked to speak a few words to you on the philosophy of the Bhagavadgita. Normally, this great text called the Bhagavadgita has been regarded as a religious and spiritual gospel of Bharatavarsha, that is, India. There have been commentaries galore published on this wonderful text of India's heritage, all expounding various aspects or facets of its doctrine or teaching, and even today commentaries are being written on this wonderful book. It only shows the comprehensiveness of the teaching of the Bhagavadgita and the inability of the finite human mind to fathom its depths. To me at least, the Bhagavadgita has been not merely a religious gos...

Commentary on the Bhagavadgita:  Swami Krishnananda Discourse 1: The Colophon of the Bhagavadgita-1. ================================================================================== 1. Brahmavidyāyāṁ yogaśāstre śrīkṛṣṇārjunasaṁvāde. These words occur at the end of each chapter of the Bhagavadgita. Those who do not know Sanskrit might not have even noticed this. Those who know Sanskrit just take it for granted and bypass it as something that needs to be recited at the end of each chapter, whatever the reason may be. But there is no redundant word in the Bhagavadgita. There is nothing that can be bypassed or considered...
