Question Title Geeta Sar
                             

On the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Lord Krishna gave an inspiring message to Arjuna, which became known as Bhagvad Gita, Bhagawat Geeta or Srimad Bhagavad Gita - the song celestial. The 700 verses rendered by Lord Krishna are considered as quintessence of Hinduism and reflects the wisdom of Upanishads. Bhagavad Gita is part of epic Mahabharata and is contained in Bhishma Parva, chapter 23-40.

The message of Gita was not delivered on banks of Ganges, nor inside caves, monasteries or at the outset of any hermit's dwelling place but was conferred on the battlefield filled with belligerent armies, awaiting fierce encounter. When Arjuna saw revered teachers, beloved friends and close relatives on his enemy side, he was overtaken by grief and despair. As a result he chose to lay down his arms and sought counsel from his charioteer and friend, Krishna. In his unique and mesmerizing style, Krishna answered Arjun's array of questions covering sin, slander and siblings to death, duty, desire, duality and divinity. Arjuna was convinced that death on the battlefield was that merely of physical frame and not of the inner immortal soul. The conversation between Krishna and Arjuna threw light on many important aspects of Hinduism such as life and death, karma, devotion, jnana, yoga, supreme reality and duality.

#Bhagavad Gita is the most unusual and the one of the most important scriptures. Its is the divine voice of the God. One can be spiritually benefited by mediating and contemplating on the Gita. One's all doubts are removed and by following it, one can attain Him. This Celestial Song was sung by Lord Krishna.

  • Whatever is happening, is happening for good.
  • Whatever that will happen, it will be for good.
  • What have you lost for which you cry?
  • What did you bring with you, which you have lost?
  • What did you produce, which has destroyed?

  • Whatever you have, you have received from Him.
  • Whatever you will give, you will give to Him.
  • You came empty handed and
  • you will go the same way.

Change is the law of the universe.

As long as you believe that you are the do-er, you will also bear the results of consequences. When you realise the supertruth that HE is doer (you are only an instrument). If you can learn- "every thought and action that you have or do belongs to HIM" you will be set free from shackles of this cycle. This is the essence of Karma yoga.In addition Krishna said have Prasad Buddhi, That is Karma yoga.

Result in also as per the laws of nature and not as per our expectations. Capacity to accept the result of your actions as the grace of God is the secret of success and key to avoid stress in life. Do not have the attachment to the results -maintain the attitude to work with sincerely and accept the result as in accordance with the wish of God.

You sow a seed of Neem tree and years later, you forget and you expect mangos from this tree. Natures laws never go wrong, you reap only what you sow
