Srimad Bhagavad Gita : Chpter-12. Slokam-s 8 to 11.

Mayya eva mana adhatsva mayi buddhim nivesaya,
nivasshiayasi mayy eva ata urdhvahm na samsayah. - Slo-8.


Aatha cittam samadhatum na saknoshi mayi sthiram,
abhyasayogena tato mam ichaptum dhananjaya. - Slo-9.

Abhyasepy asamarthosi matkarmaparamo bhava,
madartham api karmani kurvan siddhim avapsyasi.-Slo-10.
-
Athaitad apy asaktosi kartum madyogam asritah
sarvakarmaphalatyagam tatah kuru yatatmavan. - Slo-11.

In these four verses of the Twelfth Chapter of the Bhagavadgita we have the well-known fourfold method of stabilising consciousness expounded in the language of tradition.

Finally, when all things are said and done, the mind is not going to rest unless it is stabilised in God. There is, in the end, no other solution.

That is the supreme court of appeal to the mind of redress from sorrows.

Mayy eva mana adhatsva. In this little assurance and mandate, or ordinance, the final solution to all problems is indicated.

Mayy eva mana adhatsva: Fix your attention on God.

Mayi buddhim nivesaya: Let your understanding be fixed on that Ultimate Being.

 Nivashiayasi mayy eva: Then you shall abide in God.

Na samsayah: There is no doubt about this.

This is, again, a great consolation for the grieved human mind.

 Is there a doubt that this shall be achieved?

Na samsayah: There is no doubt.

OPINION :

1.THIS UNIVERSE RESPECTS OUR BHARATIYA HOLY SCRIPTURES THAN ANY THING;

2. NATIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD INTRODUCED LEARNING OF UPANISHADS, SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA AND SANSKRIT; THESE SCRIPTURES ARE TRANSLATED INTO ALMOST ALL WORLD LANGUAGES; OUR SCRIPTURES ARE ACCEPTED, AND ACCEPTED BY THE UNIVERSE;

3. WONDER ARE THESE TAMIL PEOPLE NOT AWARE OF THIS UNIVERSAL TRUTH?

4. ARE THESE TAMIL POLITICS SEPARATE FROM THIS HOLY NATION?

5. WHY TAMILNADU PEOPLE NOT PREPARED REJECT THIS RUBBISH ANTI NATIONAL POLITICS OF SEPARATISTS?

6. EVR ATROCITIES AGAINST TAMILNADU BRAHMINS AND HIS ACCUSAL THEORY OF ANTI RAMAYANAM BY WAY OF HIS DRAMA KEEMAYANAM; NO ONE PROTESTED THEN; WHY? ARE THE PEOPLE NOT AWARE OF THE HOLINESS OF GREAT EPIC RAMAYANAM. THEN?

7. THE FUNNIEST PART OF THIS STORY THAT WHEN AP NAGARAJAN PRODUCED SAMPURNA RAMAYANAM WITH THEN SUPER STARS TAMIL PEOPLE MADE A HEAVY RUSH TO THEATRES? WHY THIS ATTITUDE? CINEMA IS DIVINE NOT RAMAYANAM IS IT SO?

8. PARENTS AND CHILDREN ARE DECISION MAKERS AND FREEDOM CHOOSE THE SPIRITUAL SUBJECTS IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS;

9. IF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED THIS, IT IS A FACT THAT THE PEOPLE OF BHARATHAM REQUESTED PM MODIJI THROUGH MAN KI BAAT AND OTHER CHANNELS BY WAY PEOPLE CONTACTS WITH PM AND TEAM INDIA.

10. TAMIL POLITICS HAS NO ROLE HERE, WHERE THE PEOPLE IS IN THE CENTRE-POINT, DIRECT WITH PM MODI JI  LEAD TEAM INDIA, SO KEEP AWAY IT IS BHARATHAM.

11. DMK LIKE TAMIL POLITICAL PARTIES, PLAY ANTI HINDUS, ANTI NATIONAL POLITICS AND SPREAD VENOM OF HATRED TO GET MINORITY VOTE BANK, A FUTILE IDEA, WILL BE BROKEN SOON, FOOLS;

12. THIS FUNNY TRICK AIADMK WHO IS THE PARTNER TO BJP IN TAMILNADU POLITICS, DID NOT RAISED VOICE AGAINST THOSE WHO OPPOSED THE SPIRITUAL LEARNING WITH SANSKRIT, BEWARE THESE TYPES OF WOLVES.

SUM : TO TAMIL NADU PEOPLE, TO UNDERSTAND :

"THE CHHANDOGYA UPANISHAD IS ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT AMONG MAJOR GROUP OF PHILOSOPHICAL AND MYSTICAL TEXTS CONSTITUTING OF THE THREEFOLD FOUNDATION OF BHARATHAM'S SPIRITUAL LORE, THE TRIPOD OF BHARATHA SAMASKARAM, BEING CONSTITUTED OF THE 1.UPANISHADS, 2. BRAHMASUTRAS AND 3. THE SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA."

========================================================================

FINAL WORDS : WHAT THE GREAT ACHARYA SAID :

#The interesting phenomenon of the delivery of the Bhagavadgita is that the most sacred thing that it is – a holy teaching connected with God and creation, something which you would like to hear in a sanctified spot such as a #temple or an #ashram, a #university or an #academy, a #school or a #college – is given in the worst of human conditions, #called battle.

========================================================================

#WARNING

#Request Tamil nadu people :

Breaking India Forces, are very active in Tamil nadu, wake up, be cautious, Christian missionaries and Islamic Jihadis the two communal forces are patronized by all demonic political parties, the Aiadmk government and media is silent on this. both these communal groups misuse our Democracy, and Freedom, under the cover of minority status, hour has come to eliminate this combined evil, before the state become self destroyed; do not allow this, SAVE TAMILNADU.

========================================================================

THE RECENT ITCHING TO URBAN NAXALS AND TAMIL POLITICS CLEVERLY SUPPORTED BY CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES AND EVANGELISTS WITH FOREIGN FUNDS AND ISLAMIC RADICALISM :

IS PM MODI JI + THIRUKURAL,

OUR BELOVED PM A TRUE NATION LOVING SON OF BHARATHAM, IN HIS SPEECHES, ALWAYS MENTION 130 CRORES OF MY PEOPLE OF BHARATHAM, THIS INCLUDES ALL,;

NOW PM MENTIONED THIRUKURAL ON SEVERAL INTERNATIONAL PLATFORMS, THIS TEXT BELONGS TO THE NATION, NOT TAMILS ALONE;

TAMIL POLITICAL ASYLUM TALKS NONSENSE, THIS DEMONIC BEHAVIOUR WITH THE SUPPORT OF CHRISTIAN AND ISLAMIC VOTE BANK POLITICS SOON DESTROY TAMIL NADU SOON;

STOP ABUSING SANATANA DHARMAM, BEWARE AND AWARE OF PRAKASHRAJ, KAMAL HASSAN LIKE FOOLS WHO LOST THEIR IDENTITY AND PERISH SOON.
