The Philosophy of the Bhagavadgita : 12.7. & 13.1 - Swami Krishnananda.

Chinmaya Mission Mumbai

Hari Om 

20 ardent devotees of Lord Ganesha gathered in Panchsheel to offer their love and seek His blessings

The Atharvasheersha was chanted while doing abhishek and  the divine Ashtottarashat namavali archana was done offering fragrant flowers. The Sukhakarta Dukhaharta Aarti was followed by a bhajan with everyone joining in wholeheartedly. 

The Shodshopchar puja was followed by Varshaji's talk.. She started with daily Sadhana. She said like we dust our homes everyday we must dust our minds by chanting the Lord's name and and keeping His auspicious form in front of us. Our Shastras have provided us with so many Roops of the Lord which is all Brahman only. Whichever Lord appeals to us, whether Ganapatiji, Mataji, Shankar Bhagwan, Vishnu Bhagwan. Surya Bhagwan, they all lead us to same place

Everyone worships Ganesh Bhagwan.

From the chanting of Atharvasheersha to chanting of Aum Gang Ganapataye Namah to chanting only Gang the Bijakshara for Ganesh ji any or all Sadhnas can be undertaken.

There is a Ganesh Gita in which Ganeshji gives self knowledge to King Varenya 

His birthday is in Bhadrapad shukla chaturthi. These 10 days worship Him and after immersion go beyond Swarup. 

After receiving such pearls of knowledge, devotees having taken the prasad departed with joy and inspiration in their hearts

Om tat sat

Chapter 12: God and the Universe - 7. 

Chapter 13: Cosmology and Eschatology-1.

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

This difficulty is taken up in a very beautiful manner at the commencement of the Eighth Chapter. Most of us would feel diffident even about the entertaining of the idea of this all-consuming Absolute. We are terrorised even by the very thought itself. It would mean that we may pass away from this world without having any contact with this mighty Reality. What will happen to us when we die? What are the chances available to us in this great path of the soul towards God? Is it possible for us to have at least a hope of the possibility of such a realisation, or contact with God? Or, are we to die like flies or moths with no hope whatsoever?

Before answering this question, the Teacher introduces us into another set of cosmological ideas. The direct answer does not come forth immediately. The introduction to the theme comes from the mouth of Arjuna himself, who puts the question as to what all these mean, taking the hint from the suggestive words of the Teacher towards the end of the Seventh Chapter.

What is Brahman? What is the Absolute? What is the universe? What is the individual? What is the relationship between these, and what is the way that we are to adopt in order that we may contact Reality at least after the leaving of the body in this life, if it is not possible in this life? The points touched in the query sweep over almost every philosophical principle. We have no hopes of seeing God in this life; it is an absolutely hopeless affair. Well, then, even afterwards, is it such a hopeless matter? Is there a chance of our beholding God's glory or contacting Him at least after death? Or, are we to be a miserable specimen even after quitting this physical body here? All these are the suggestions behind Arjuna's questions at the beginning of the Eighth Chapter; and we have to take a little time to understand the answer that Krishna gives to these basic issues.

Chapter 13: Cosmology and Eschatology:2.

In the Eighth Chapter of the Bhagavadgita we have an important departure made from the trend followed in the earlier ones, viz., a slight emphasis on the structure of the cosmos, for the purpose of elucidating the fate of the soul after the shedding of the physical body, and also to elucidate the possibility of contacting the Supreme Being in this sojourn of cosmic existence. The questions with which the chapter commences are ushered in by a statement made by Krishna towards the end of the Seventh Chapter itself.

We are supposed to conceive the ultimate Reality in all its facets—the objective, the subjective as well as the universal phases of its manifestation; as adhibhuta, adhyatma, adhidaiva,  Param Brahma, the Absolute-All. One who envisages the Supreme Being as inclusive of everything that is objective, inclusive also of everything that is personal and individual, as well as what is transcendent, and also what is relational, activistic and social—a person who can visualise the Supreme in this manner has really understood it and knows it perfectly. This was the indicative dictum of the last verses of the Seventh Chapter, though mentioned rather casually. This impulsion to greater secrets stirred up a question in the mind of Arjuna, on the details of the suggestion given concerning Brahman, adhibhuta, adhidaiva, adhiyajna, adhyatma and karma, as well as the fate of the soul after the death of the body.

###OPINION : PEOPLE OF BHARATHAM POSITIVE :

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

1. SANATANA DHARMA, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS HINDUISM IS ETERNAL, WHOLE UNIVERSE IS EXISTING IN THIS TRUTH

2.  EVER  EXISTING

3.  THERE IS NO SPACE FOR ADHARMA

4. ALL DEMONIC ELEMENTS DEMOLISHED BY DHARMA

8. THE CONTENT OF SO CALLED HOLY BOOK IS NO HOLY AT ALL, AS IT PREACHES HATRED AND DESTRUCTION OF OTHER MANKIND, RELIGIOUS CONVERSIONS AND LIES OF UNCIVILIZED MATERIALS

9. CHRISTIANITY IS EQUALLY DEMONSTRATED CRUELTY, THE SO CALLED HOLY BOOK FULL OF LIES

10. BOTH  ARE NOT RELIGIONS BUT SAMPRADAYA (ILLITERATE MAN MADE, NOT BASED ON DHARMA

11. THE CULTURE OF BHARATHAM BASED ON UPANISHADS AND FULL OF  REALISATION TEXTS ARE PRODUCED BY GREAT RISHIS OF BHARATHAM

12. IN THIS MATERIALISTIC DESTRUCTIVE MINDED UNIVERSE, NO RELIGIONS COMPARABLE OR ABOVE SANATANA DHARMA OF BHARATHAM.

Opinion : 

1. Congress, a donkey  party, its so called day dreaming stupid leader rahul vinci, rahul gandi, frequent visit to foriegn countries, to abuse PM of this Nation, and Sanatana Dharma -exeeded all limits this time, his party and his family to be "condemned" and kicked away from politics, people should awake and realise the danger.

3. Till 2014 nation was ruled by corrupt idiots,and all regions too, Dynasty rule dominated than Nation intrests.

4. Brushing away main stream population sides and muslims and christians become political parties vote banks.

5. Communists openly abused  our ancient culture, upanishads,Ramayana, Mahabharatham, Bhagavtham and daites.

6. The communists  next donkey group, latest stunt of America visit and the comedy programme namely kerala sabha!? these buggers detroyed Kerala in all and joining with radical islam soon they will be eliminated, people of Kerala get up from donkey thoughts, otherwise kerala shrink to extinct in all way

7. Communists are danger to our civilisation, their lunatic theories disappered through out the world, Time has come crush them, and eliminate them from our nation, they are danger to this holy nation.

NOTE:

1. POLITICIANS ( THOSE IGNORANT AND DEMONIC NATURED) ARE NOT THE AUTHORITY TO OPEN THEIR UGLY FOUL MOUTH AND UTTER NONSENSE UPON SANATHANA DHARMAM.

2. THE NONSENSE COMMENDY ALLIANCE ARE NOT THE AUTHORITY ON SANATHA DHARAMAM.

3. DK,DMK. AIADMKA AND ALL NONSENSE POLITICIANS BEWARE YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY  WASHED OUT SOON.
