Article Scriptures The Central Intention of the Bhagavadgita: 3. Swami Krishnananda. (Spoken on November 26, 1972) ================================================================================================== The good of spiritual life is not opposed to anything else as the bad, but we have an emotional attitude towards things, as Arjuna had in the beginning. Spiritual aspiration, or love of God, is not an emotion of the heart because emotions are always like waves, dashing on one shore and then dashing on the other shore. From this side we call it love, from the other side we call it hatred, but it is the same wave that dashes us either way, to either side. When we take to seclusion and monastic life or ashram life, these emotional distinctions—or erroneous notions, we should say—which made us draw a line between God-love and world-lo...

The Asyavamasya Sukta has a very complicated structure of meaning and hints at certain vital issues of the creation and pattern of the universe. The Hiranyagarbha Sukta sings of the rise of the universe from the cosmic Hiranyagarbha or Prajapati (who is later identified with Brahma, the Creator). The Aghamarshana Sukta refers to the cycle of creation from the cosmic equilibrium in the beginning...

Article Scriptures  Spiritual Evolution According to the Bhagavadgita: 3. Swami Krishnananda. (Spoken on February 24th, 1973). Post - 3. ==================================================================================================== The Bhagavadgita, as I may have mentioned, is a fund of all varieties of wisdom. We will find science, evolution, biology, and physics in the Gita. Every blessed thing is in the Bhagavadgita, if only we have the eyes to see it through the lines of the Gita. And when we reach this sattvic type of knowledge wherein the basic reality is recognised as the source of the variety that we see through the senses and understand through the intellect, we reach the goal of our life. Yadā bhūtapṛthagbhāvam ekastham anupaśyati: When we recognise the rootedness of all variety in the One; tata eva ca vistāraṃ: as the basis for the pro...

Post-4. ================================================================================================ 1. The Absolute is Just Here: God is here, and not in the heavens above. The Absolute is just here, under the very nose of ours. The eternity that we are going to experience, the moksha that we are to realise, is not merely an original Archetype that is removed in space. Again the idea of space comes in, and the notion of time persists in our minds. The Goal is not outside in space, and is not to be reached tomorrow as a future of time experience. All this is difficult indeed for the human intellect to understand. One becomes giddy when thinking about it. But, God loves you more than you love Him, and you are bo...

The Narayana Sukta ॐ सहस्रशीर्षं देवं विश्वाक्षं विश्वशम्भुवम् । विश्वै नारायणं देवं अक्षरं परमं पदम् ॥ ōm sahasraśīrṣaṁ devaṁ viśvākśaṁ viśvaśambhuvaṁ, viśvaṁ nārāyaṇaṁ devamakśaraṁ paramaṁ padam. This universe is the Eternal Being (Narayana), the imperishable, the supreme, the goal, multi-headed and multi-eyed (i.e., omnipresent and omniscient), the resplendent, the source of delight for the whole universe. Note:—With this verse commences a famous hymn of the Vedic group, stating the characters of the Absolute in its manifestation as this creation. 2. विश्वतः परमं नित्यं विश्वं नारायणं हरिम् । विश्वमेवेदं पुर...
