Chapter 5: The Nature of the Universe - 8. Chapter 6: The Nature of the Mind: Slogas 1,2,3. Swami Krishnananda. ================================================================================================== Slogam- 8 इति श्रीमन्मोक्षगीतासूपनिषत्सु ब्रह्मविद्यायां योगशास्त्रे गुरुशिष्यसंवादे विश्वस्थितियोगो नाम पञ्चमोऽध्यायः ॥५॥ Just as a man does not behold the object which he has seen in his dream when awake, so also the Jivanmukta does not perceive the universe after he attains knowledge of Brahman. There are countless images seen in a dream. So long as the person is dreaming, the objects of the dream appear to be absolutely real. The consciousness of the dreamer is confined within the four walls of the dreaming state, and it cannot reme...

Swami Krishnananda. Post-4. ==================================================================================================== So, what the name of this country was before these people came, and what their culture was called before they entered India – this is a different matter. I am just mentioning to you that the name of this country is not 'India'; it has come to be called so by these accidents of history, and the people in India are not 'Hindus'. Hence, there is no such thing as 'Hindu' culture, or even 'Indian' culture, in general parlance. It was a culture which was associated with a vision of perfection. Even today, people sometimes call it the vision of the sanatana, or the Eternal; and the culture or the law that...

Article Scriptures Srimad Bhagavad Gita The Gospel of the Bhagavadgita - 2. Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================================== When a person is truly friendly with you, he knows how to take your moods. That is a wisdom of life. Krishna was not pleased; nor was he displeased. A doctor is neither pleased nor displeased with the patient. An emotion will not rise in the mind of a physician. Krishna was not distressed at the agonising condition of the mind of Arjuna. He did not weep, cry or beat his breast. He spoke words of wisdom laden with the profundity of the experience of life which, incidentally, opened up the gates for a solution to all conflicts in life. Not merely Arjuna's conflict, but your conflict, my conflict, and anyone's conflict at any time found a solution herein. Al...

================================================================================================== Thursday 02, April 2026, 20:45. Article Scriptures Sri Krishna as Revealed in All Levels of Reality: 1. Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on May 1, 1983) ================================================================================================== Often teachers as well as students of the Bhagavadgita consider the last verse of this gospel as representing in a way the quintessential import of the whole teaching. Yatra yogeśvaraḥ kṛṣṇo yatra pārtho dhanurdharaḥ, tatra śrīr vijayo bhūtir dhruvā nītir matir mama (Gita 18.78). Thus concludes the Bhagavadgita. “Where there is Krishna the Lord of yoga and where there is Arjuna the wielder of the bow, there is prosperity, victory, happiness and firm quality. This is my conviction,” said Sanjay. This statement would mean that a kind perfection in life can be expected where this blend between Krishna and Arjuna is made practicable. We know very well...

Swami Krishnananda. Post-3 ============================================================================================================= Today, people in India are a medley of various problems and memories of the past, hopes of the future, and so on. In spite of these, there is nevertheless a little candle flame burning in the corners of the country, which cries out in the language of the ancient culture. One of the reasons is, as I said, the accommodating capacity of the culture. You would be wondering what is this accommodation, and where co...

Swami Krishnananda. ===================================================================================== 5, 6.  भावयन्त्यर्भका दारुद्विपं सत्यं हि यूथपम् । प्रौढास्तु तदसत्यत्वं जानते बालिशास्तथा ॥५॥ अनात्ममात्रमीक्षन्ते किन्तु पश्यन्ति पण्डिताः । केवलं ब्रह्म सर्वत्र विवेकोऽस्यायमाद्दतः ॥६॥ Children regard a wooden elephant, as an elephant, but the grown-up persons treat it as wood. Even so the wise behold only Brahman everywhere but the ignorant perceive the non-self only. A wooden elephant is the imitation of the form of an elephant, though the essence of the form is only wood. Children in their credulity, with undeveloped consciousness see the form merely and not the essence or the substance which ...
