Insights of Bhagavad Gita

-

 Why do people say, "You open any page of Bhagavad Gita and you get the answer to your questions?"

I have often wondered over this statement. Trying to analyze, I realized that Bhagavad Gita does not have all answers but reading it certainly helps you to get answers to the questions formed in your mind. It is subjective. 

Yes, it is subjective because the book remains the same for all the readers but the perception, wisdom, and intelligence vary from reader to reader. Perhaps Bhagavad Gita enables one to get insights to the problems in the form of solutions.

In my opinion, Bhagavad Gita is a book that gives you the way to live. Let's remove the religious aspect of it.

Go back to history and understand the setting of Bhagavad Gita.  The Setting Of Bhagavad Gita is the battlefield of Kurukshetra, the Mahabharat where Arjun when comes before his respected elders is in a dilemma. He is confused. He hesitates to fight. He is very well aware of the fact that this battle will lead to the destruction of his friends and family. Krishna becomes his mentor and guides him to do what is right.

Many times people say, "Do the Karma and leave the results to God."

In my opinion, Gita never says that you should do your action and leave the results to God.  On the contrary, it says, "Do not expect spontaneous results every time."

So that's exactly how Bhagavad Gita begins. It begins with confusion and dilemmas, making choices, understanding the good and the bad, right and the wrong. Arjun's dilemma can also be compared to the regular battles we find ourselves in on daily basis. Everyone on this planet is going to have confusion, to be or not to be, to do or not to do.

Krishna empowers Arjun to make his choices. He makes him realize that he is way too more powerful than all the people in this battle.

In the same way, Every person needs to understand that they are more powerful than their challenges.

I feel that Gita builds in person the sense of fortitude. It rises a feeling of having the power to overcome everything around you. It tells you rather it yells out to you,

            "I have the power. I can make a difference. I am able to create an Impact."

    Beautifully opinionated.
    There's an old saying that You can wake up a person who is sleeping, but you cannot awaken someone who is pretending to be asleep.” The Bhagavad Gita is a book for those who wish to awaken.

The Fierce Form

 She is dark. She is fierce. She is death. She is doomsday. She is Shakti. She is destruction. She is the total energy of our universe. Yes, she is Kali.... Maa Kali. This quintessential embodiment of Shakti is female power. She is scary, bloodthirsty. She is destruction personified and the ultimate protector against evil. In spite of her terrible form, Mahakali is often considered the kindest and most loving of all the Hindu goddesses. She has dark complexion, red eyes, four arms and wears garland of skulls. This goddess will always be seen stepping over the chest of Lord Shiva, who is her husband. Ever wondered why? Let me take you to the episode of Goddess Kali in which she steps over Lord Shiva. There was once a demon named Rakhtbeej, Who was very powerful. He had acquired a boon that he could recreate himself as soon as even a single drop of blood falls on earth. This boon gave him the power to shake the gods. It was impossible for the gods to control his autocracy. Therefore ...

KARMA....

 A man turns into something good by good actions and into something bad by bad actions . Karma, which means deeds is a concept in Hinduism that explains how the executed actions of an individual affect the individual and the life he or she lives. Karma simply means actions. Every action has its consequences so it is the choice - making of deeds which is the most effective way of creating the consequences of karma. Whatever we speak or think, we initiate something called force which reacts accordingly. Therefore most people are prisoners of karma.  Karmas are invisible fine particles of matter prevailing all around us just like air particles.   Time and Karma are inseparable. The law of karma is infallible and everyone invariably is subjected to it. Even the Maha Gyaanis and the Maha Purush of the Dwaparyug were not spared by karma. The conversation between Lord Krishna and Rukmani after the Mahabharata battle is significant and can help us to understand the theory of karm...
