Sacred
Hindu Text Vedas
(Bhagavad Gita - sacred texts of hinduism)
Vedas is foremost
of all sacred Hindu text that initially originated on mother Earth.
The sacred Hindu text... the revered Vedas was invoked directly
from God Almighty by enlightened sages and saints of that era! Vedas
are many in number... the foremost of which being Rig Veda, Sama
Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda!
Amongst all
sacred Hindu text available on mother Earth... it is the wisdom
contained in Vedas that paved way for humanity to live religiously...
in a coherent manner! In the days of yore when no religion existed...
it was wisdom contained in Vedas that made life meaningful as human
beings... the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle!
Apart from Dharma
(righteousness) that existed from times immemorial... it was latent
messages contained in Vedas that formed essence of life! For thousands
of years life on mother Earth was directly governed by Vedas...
the most sacred Hindu text existing in those times! All Vedas...
the messages contained were directly invoked from God Almighty.
Vedas in Hindi
means bola hua (spoken from mouth)! The wisdom of Vedas existed
in the mind... in the brain of a handful of sages and saints of
that era! Lipi... the written word had not yet evolved! It was only
through the word of mouth... wisdom of Vedas percolated down further!
The essence of Vedas lay in its pronunciation... the manner syllable
is pronounced.
Multitude of
Gurukuls (places of study) and Hermitages kept the system of Vedas
alive! Generation after generation... the wisdom of Vedas kept flowing
down... finally reducing to the written word around 2nd BC. No sooner
the wisdom of sacred Hindu text Vedas was available in written form...
the masses flocked to indulge in rituals en masse!
The wisdom contained
in Vedas... the foremost of all sacred Hindu text was voluminous
in nature! It never appealed to the masses... who were ever busy
with routines... the mundane affairs of life! Came Lord Krishna
and the doctrine of Bhagavad-Gita was presented to mankind in the
battle of Mahabharata between Pandavas and Kauravas!
The complete
essence of Vedas is now available to mankind in form of Bhagavad-Gita...
the most sacred Hindu text made available to humanity by grace of
God Almighty! There is nothing beyond Bhagavad-Gita that is worth
knowing in cosmic system. The knower of Bhagavad-Gita transcending
all barriers of physical manifest life... finally gains enlightenment
(kaivalya jnana)!
Amongst all
sacred texts of Hinduism... the doctrine of Bhagavad-Gita is the
foremost of all! By fathoming the depth of wisdom contained in Bhagavad-Gita...
I finally realized God in 1993 at 37 years of age! Having reached
the 8.4 millionth manifestation... the last in cosmic life cycle
I shall but attain salvation (moksha) at the end of journey!
Bhagavad-Gita...
the Hindu holy book... the Hindu sacred book has no parallel in
mankind! Any person world over belonging to any religion, faith
or belief can assimilate the wisdom contained in Bhagavad-Gita.
The contents of Bhagavad-Gita have universal appeal. Every human
being even while remaining in ones religion can follow the dictates
of Bhagavad-Gita!
Amongst all
religious texts of Hinduism, Bhagavad-Gita is the inner strength
of all... the prime reason why Bhagavad-Gita has also been termed
Vedanta (the end of Vedas). In simpler words it means that for reaching
God... for knowing God one need not refer to Vedas... the teachings
of Bhagavad-Gita suffices in present times!
It is as if
the sacred texts of Vedas have been precipitated into the sacred
Bhagavad-Gita... the doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna in
Mahabharata! Bhagavad-Gita is not all about upholding Dharma (righteousness)...
the essence of Bhagavad-Gita lay in understanding life in its entirety!
It is Bhagavad-Gita
that tells us our soul atman the spirit within being the ultimate
controller and master of the body and not vice versa! It is not
within the capability of human body to manifest a soul atman. Bhagavad-Gita
tells us every soul atman manifests a human body to work out its
karma... remove the dross impurities within!
Following the
dictates contained in the most sacred Hindu book Bhagavad-Gita...
human gods... man gods like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ
and prophet Mohammed finally gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana
) in their lifetime! Right from the first manifestation to the last
as human beings, all is detailed in sacred Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism.
Amongst varied
sacred Hindu text apart from sacred Bhagavad Gita exist, Upanishads
(independent treatises), Puranas, Itihasas, Agamas and Darshanas!
There is no dearth of Hindu sacred scriptures in Hinduism! Yet...
fathoming depth of wisdom contained in Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism...
Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana finally gained enlightenment!
The most sacred
Hindu scripture... the sacred Bhagavad-Gita consists of 700 shlokas
(verses) that formed the essence of life! The wisdom contained in
holy book Bhagavad-Gita can never be understood literally... it
needs reading in between the lines! Some shlokas (verses) of Bhagavad-Gita
have such depth that explaining them needs not hours but days...
even weeks!
Bhagavad-Gita
is the inner strength of Hindu philosophy... the epitome of spirituality!
If we desire reaching God in present lifetime... there is no other
alternative than to travel the spiritual path... the uncharted path
of spirituality that takes one directly to God Almighty! The spiritual
path is best traveled following the dictates contained in Bhagavad-Gita...
the most sacred Hindu text!
Spirituality
is all about following the teachings contained in Bhagavad-Gita!
In absence of wisdom contained in Bhagavad-Gita... spirituality
carries no meaning! One who does not follow the teachings of Bhagavad-Gita
can never remain spiritual... do whatever may! Following the religious
path... no human being can reach God!
religion is
primarily meant for keeping the flock together... the whole humanity
bonded together! For passing the present life... the earthly domain
of 70 to 80 years in a meaningful manner the essence of religion
is necessitated! For following the inner domain... our soul atman
the spirit within... assimilating the teachings contained in Bhagavad-Gita
is necessitated!
religion and
spirituality have different role to play! religion is primarily
following rituals... the path of prayers and worshiping... that
primarily leads nowhere! Unless we remove karma... unless we negate
karma forever in totality... no human being can ever cross ocean
of samsara (worldly life) and reach portals of God... kingdom of
God (termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism)!
The foremost
of all sacred texts of Hinduism... the revered Bhagavad-Gita is
available for mere $.60 (rupees 30/=) across most railway stations
of India or directly from Gita press, Gorakhpur, India! The cheapest
of all sacred Hindu texts... yet difficult to assimilate... understand!
By controlling five senses and the mind human beings finally crossed
the ephemeral world!
Apart from controlling
five senses and the mind... practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum
period of 12 years in continuation is necessitated. The full awakening
of kundalini demands practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum
period of 12 years in continuation. Only then human beings reached
the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi... the stage of nothingness!
