So when you recite the Bhagavadgita, even when you touch the book, you are, if you are honest to yourself, in divine communion. The vibrations of Vyasa, Krishna, and Ganesha are all trying to enter you. When you read a textbook, you are in an internal communion with the author’s ideas. You think like the author himself when you read a book. You are emotionally set in a proportion commensurate with the powerful ideas expressed by the poet or the author. Read Shakespeare, for instance. Your whole emotion will be turning upside down when you read through the plays because of the force of language, the power that is injected into the words by the immensely potent thoughts of the author.
People say the Mahabharata should not be read in the house because a conflict or friction will manifest itself in the family. The idea is, the whole of the Mahabharata is a terrible vibration. Vyasa spoke not merely a language, but he was in tune with what he saw. Divine seers, divine masters are always in tune with what they think. They are not outside their thought contents. So as the Mahabharata is a description of a battle, a narration of events connected with intense friction among people that has been expressed by a powerful mind, the belief is that it will have some impact upon the whole area in which it is recited. The Mahabharata is not read in the house. People go to the forest or to a temple to read it, and they read only the Shanti Parva and especially avoid the Yuddha Parvas. The point is that language is a force, and in the case of the Bhagavadgita or the Veda mantras, it is not ordinary language; it is divinity poured forth upon us.
This gives some idea about the importance of the Bhagavadgita, a great gospel for all humble seekers on the path of divinity. This is not the time for me to go into detail of what the Bhagavadgita teaches. Since you are all acquainted to some extent with the contents of this great teaching, I do not propose to go into these details at present. Suffice it to say that we are mightily blessed to be graced with this immense kindness and compassion of God through Arjuna, the instrumentality of the representative of man. Arjuna was blessed, and we are all equally blessed. May our prayers be to this Great Being.
THE END.

7. THE FUNNIEST PART OF THIS STORY THAT WHEN AP NAGARAJAN PRODUCED SAMPURNA RAMAYANAM WITH THEN SUPER STARS TAMIL PEOPLE MADE A HEAVY RUSH TO THEATRES? WHY THIS ATTITUDE? CINEMA IS DIVINE NOT RAMAYANAM IS IT SO?
8. PARENTS AND CHILDREN ARE DECISION MAKERS AND FREEDOM CHOOSE THE SPIRITUAL SUBJECTS IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS;
9. IF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED THIS, IT IS A FACT THAT THE PEOPLE OF BHARATHAM REQUESTED PM MODIJI THROUGH MAN KI BAAT AND OTHER CHANNELS BY WAY PEOPLE CONTACTS WITH PM AND TEAM INDIA.
10. TAMIL POLITICS HAS NO ROLE HERE, WHERE THE PEOPLE IS IN THE CENTRE-POINT, DIRECT WITH PM MODI JI LEAD TEAM INDIA, SO KEEP AWAY IT IS BHARATHAM.

"THE CHHANDOGYA UPANISHAD IS ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT AMONG MAJOR GROUP OF PHILOSOPHICAL AND MYSRICAL TEXTS CONSTITUTING OF THE THREEFOLD FOUNDATION OF BHARATHAM'S SPIRITUAL LORE, THE TRIPOD OF BHARATHA SAMASKARAM, BEING CONSTITUTED OF THE 1.UPANISHADS, 2.
