Srimad Bhagavad-Gita :


Chapter-6. ( Dyana-yogam )


Introduction : 2.



Bhagavad-Gita is the purport of the maha vakya "Tattvamasi."

The first six chapters, are about the term "tvam" which represents 'Jivatma' and,

next six ( 7-12 ) chapters, are about the term "tat" which represents ' Paramatma' and,

the last six ( 13-18) chapters, are about the term " asi" which narrates the union of Jivatma and Parmatma,
- this is the opinion of Jnani-s / Pandits.

Out of these first part-the main part- ends with this sixth chapter 'Dyana-yogam.'




The second chapter without introduction discloses the Upanishadic tattvam-s, it seemed something new to Arjuna!

The highest state of a brahma nishtan - "Mahatma" is beautifully drawn in the end of second chapter.

Balancing the mind and control and regulation of self - the supreme state of these when heard the descriptions, Arjuna realised the importance and prepared to attain the state, thereafter moved forward to realise this.




A difficult problem - when Arjuna had to face this- Arjuna fell in confusion - this the time 'Gitopadhesam'was given to him.

In that situation-his mind was not eligible for Dyanam- the full concentration. This does not mean -that Vedanta Sadhanas only for a few.

Though All are not eligible for Dyanam or Meditation, however they can be uplifted step by step - to lead to the stage where the Parama-Padham is situated, Our sastram-s guide us various Sadhana procedures to reach the goal.

Introduction continues..

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, March 21, 2021. 07:57. AM. Chapter 8: Creation and Life After Death -1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bhagavadgita is a moksha-shastra, a scripture on the science of the liberation of the spirit. Thus it follows the course of the return process along the same lines as the evolutionary process of the descent of the soul from the Supreme Being. The first six chapters may be said to be engaged in an exposition of self-discipline from the individual point of view, the integration of the human personality and the preparation of the whole man for the greater task which is yet to come – namely, the at-one-ment of the individual with the set-up of the universe. Some of the interpreters and commentators on the Bhagavadgita hold that the first six chapters have a relevance to the significance of the term 'twam' in the famous Upanishadic p
