  ================================================================================================== Saturday 16, May 2026, 20:15. Article Scriptures Sri Krishna as Revealed in All Levels of Reality: 2. Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on May 1, 1983) ================================================================================================== A keen student of the Bhagavadgita would have observed that a single answer is not available, but a manifold answer is poured forth through the different verses of the Bhagavadgita, often making us feel that there is, as it were, a contradiction in the statements made. There is a sociological point of view sometimes visible to us at the very beginning of the Gita, a point of view of the Sankhya even in the classical sense, a point of view which is purely political, economic and personal, a point of view which may be called ethical and moral, a point of view which is cosmical, natural, universal, and a point of view which is perhaps Absolute.

==================================================================================================== Thursday 14, May 2026, 18:00. Article Scriptures Srimad Bhagavad Gita The Gospel of the Bhagavadgita - 3. Swami Krishnananda. ==================================================================================================== Arjuna was thoroughly mistaken in assessing the values of life. “Your understanding is turbid, it is not clear enough to grasp the vitality of life. Nobody asked you to start the war. It is you who started this, and I merely said nothing against it. If you want it, have it, and be done with it. After having started it of your own accord, relying on the strength of your arms, listening to nobody else's advice, what makes you now sing a different tune altogether, as if you are another person having nothing to do with the previous person that you were who decided to wage the war? The answer of Arjuna was: “I do not know.” There are some students who come to this ...

Swami Krishnananda. Post-5. ==================================================================================================== Chapter 2: The Vision of True Religion The vision of life entertained in India has been called Darshana or perception of Truth, whose moods and manifestations have been adopted according to the various degrees and requisitions of people's practical existence. Nothing in the world has been more misunderstood than religion, because whatever be the hectic effort of the human mind to consider religious values as permanent, they have somehow managed to escape the grasp of the practical evaluations of life, and remain an isolated and future achievement which has segregated the secular from th...

Chapter 6: The Nature of the Mind: Slogas -4,5. Commentary:  Swami Krishnananda. ================================================================================================== Chapter 6: The Nature of the Mind:  Slogam Slogas-4. यथात्मनः कृमिः कोशे बध्यतेऽन्तस्तथा नरः । संसाराख्यमहाजाले सङ्कल्पैर्वासनागणैः ॥४॥ 4. Just as a silkworm is caught in its own cocoon, so also man is caught in this vast net of Samsara by his own Sankalpas and Vasanas. The conception that the prison of life of the individual is self-built is brought out by the example of the self-imprisoning of the silkworm with its cocoon which it itself winds around its body. Further escape from the jail becomes difficult. The Jiva winds round itself the cocoon of love for separation from the Eternal Tru...

Life is a Continuity: There is a continuity, which is life, of which we are a part, and we are not just X, Y, Z or A, B, C sitting here; it is not like that. If we open our eyes to fact, we will be surprised that we have been living a foolhardy life up to this time, and now the time has come when we have to be serious.
