Srimad Bhagavad-Gita :


Chapter-5. ( Karma-sanyasa-yogam )


Introduction-2.


Arjuna's  understanding  about  Karmam as  following  :

1. Yajnam,  Yagam,  Homam  are  all  come  under  ' Vaidika  Karmam'.

2. and  Sanyasam  means  total  renunciation  and  immerse  in  Tapas  in  the  forest.

Arjuna  is  well  educated  in  Sastram  and  intelligent,  still  he  has  this  misunderstanding  regarding  haindava-dharmam  during  that  yugam,   i,e.  even  this  was  the  state  of  that  ancient  days,  what  will  be  the  present yugam  "Kali".


Lord  Sri  Krishna's  effort  in  this  regard  is  to  re-establish  new  life  to  the  haidava- dharmic  samskaram  and  remove  the  all  misunderstandings.

In  this  context : we  have  seen  in  the  last  chapter  that  how  the  secretly  kept  Yajna-s,  in  the  use  of  day  to  day  life's  duties  of  human beings.

Those  days,  when  very  few  people  ( the  Bramana's )  has  the  control  on  this  valuable  Vedik-karma-s  as  their  own  private  property,  Lord  cleared  this  and  re-established  that  all  Vedik-activities  are  for  all human race  and  opened  this  to  all.

To be continued  ...

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, March 21, 2021. 07:57. AM. Chapter 8: Creation and Life After Death -1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bhagavadgita is a moksha-shastra, a scripture on the science of the liberation of the spirit. Thus it follows the course of the return process along the same lines as the evolutionary process of the descent of the soul from the Supreme Being. The first six chapters may be said to be engaged in an exposition of self-discipline from the individual point of view, the integration of the human personality and the preparation of the whole man for the greater task which is yet to come – namely, the at-one-ment of the individual with the set-up of the universe. Some of the interpreters and commentators on the Bhagavadgita hold that the first six chapters have a relevance to the significance of the term 'twam' in the famous Upanishadic p...

================================================================================= Saturday 01, June 2024 06:40. Chapter 7: The Entry of the Absolute into the Relative -3. Post-33. ================================================================================= There are endless connections of this type. The relationship of adhyatma and adhibhuta is involved in an infinite variety of degrees of ascent and descent. This imperative of the presence of a consciousness between adhyatma and adhibhuta in various degrees is the reason why you sometimes feel there are many gods. Sometimes the question arises: Are there many gods, or only one God? There is only one God, the Absolute, but inasmuch as it manifests itself as an interconnecting link between subject and object through millions of degrees of ascent and descent, it looks as there are millions of gods. It is as if there are millions of governments merely because there are millions of officials in a centrality of administration. There is...
