Past and Present - perceptions of mind: Bhagvad Gita, Chapter V, Verses 14

Past and Present - perceptions of...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Question : Did Lord Krishna say anything about?
Why do we take birth, if we have to die later?
That is a million dollar question, without any clear cut logical answer.

1. Only thing Lord Krishna said is that people take birth due to their past karmic debts incurred during their last birth (incarnation).
2. Each of us are responsible for our birth. God has nothing to do with that.
3. We continue this cycles of birth and death, until we exhaust all our karmic debt and then we attain salvation.
4. Lord Krishna said: God does not decide what each person should do, nor he induce people to act, nor does he create fruits of any action.

Each person acts according to his/her Vasanas (Past and present perceptions of mind)

Bhagavad Gita - A way for Life

Bhagavad Gita - A way for Life

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

The Bhagavad Gita, which is a treasure house of Dharma, not only for Hindus but for all mankind. The Gita teaches us better concentration, overcoming anger, self-control, the art of right action, true happiness, devotion and so on.

Valuable learnings from Bhagavad Gita:
1️⃣ Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered. One falls down when reasoning is destroyed.
2️⃣ One can become whatever one wants to be if one constantly contemplates on the object of desire with faith.
3️⃣ Fear not what is not real, never was and never will be. What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed.
4️⃣ You grieve for those who are not worthy of grief, and yet speak the words of wisdom. The wise grieve neither for the living nor for the dead.
5️⃣ The evil doers, the ignorant, the lowest persons who are attached to demonic nature, and whose intellect has been taken away by Maya do not worship or seek Me.

Gyan Shakti Savikar - When Shree Chakarapani Maharaj ji accepted the Gyan Sakti form Shree Dattatreya Prabhu ji

Gyan Shakti Savikar - When Shree ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

It was the time when Shree Chakarapani Maharaj Ji left to Mahur, it was the Saka 1080 era. At the age of 30; Shree Chakarapani Ji made the pilgrimage to meet Shree Dattatreya Prabhu Ji since the reason behind is to receive the Avatar Shakti from Avadhot Prabhuraya.

People were climbing step by step to the Mahurgarh peak. They all were in a row. Suddenly, the people started making panic, there was a tiger behind them. But Shree Chakarapani Prabhuji fearlessly set himself in front of the tiger, because he knows Shree Dattatreya Prabhuji is in the form of the tiger.

Then Prabhu ji greeted tiger with a namaskar. Then after, The Lord Shree Dattatreya Maharaj Ji blessed him with his toe and given him the Ubhay Shakti (उभय शक्ती) and Shree Chakarapani Ji accepted the Gyan Shakti (ज्ञान शक्ती) and started the work with the Para Shakti (पराशक्ती).

ज्ञान शक्ती स्वीकार
इधर श्री चक्रपाणी माहुर को आ गये, शके 1080 (इ.स.1158) उमर के 30 वे वर्ष माहुर मेँ श्री दत्तात्रेय प्रभु से मिलने के लिये, क्योकी भगवान को अवतार शक्ती स्वीकार कार्य करना था। लोग माहुर के गड (शिखर) पर चढणे लगे, श्री चक्रपाणी भी यात्रीओँ के पीछे अंतर रखकर चढ रहे थे, तभी अचानक एक जाली मेँ से (श्री दत्तात्रेय प्रभु) वाघ के रुप मेँ आरोगना करके आ गये, यात्रीगण इधर उधर भागने लगे पर श्री चक्रपाणी महाराज वही एक खडक पर बैँठ गये, और श्री चक्रपाणी प्रभु श्री दत्तात्रेय प्रभु के (वाघ) सामने बैठ कर नमस्कार कीया, तभी वाघने (श्री दत्तात्रेय प्रभु) श्री चक्रपाणी के सर पर पंजा रखकर उभय शक्ती प्रदान की, श्री चक्रपाणी राऊळ ने ज्ञान शक्ती का स्वीकार किया उसमेँ “पराशक्ती” के आच्छादन करके अवर शक्ती के कार्य सुरु कीये|

Kaliya The poisonous Naga living in the Yamuna River

Kaliya The poisonous Naga living ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Kaliya was the name of a poisonous Naga living in the Yamuna River, in Vrindavan. The water of the Yamuna for four leagues all around him boiled and bubbled with poison. No bird or beast could go near, and only one solitary Kadamba tree grew on the river bank.
The proper home of Kaliya was Ramanaka Dwipa, but he had been driven away from there by fear of Garuda, the foe of all serpents. Garuda had been cursed by a yogi dwelling at Vrindavan so that he could not come to Vrindavan without meeting his death. Therefore Kaliya chose Vrindavan as his residence, knowing it was the only place where Garuda could not come.
Once Krishna and herdboys were playing ball, and while playing Krishna climbed up the Kadamba tree and hung over the river bank, the ball fell into the river and Krishna jumped after it. Kaliya rose up with his hundred and ten hoods vomiting poison and wrapped himself around Krishna's body. Krishna became so huge that Kaliya had to release him. So Krishna saved himself from every attack, and when he saw the Brij folk were so much afraid he suddenly sprang into Kaliya's head and assumed the weight of the whole universe, and danced on the naga's heads, beating time with his feet. Then Kaliya began to die. But then the naga's wives came and prayed to Krishna with joined palms, worshiping Krishna and praying for their husband.

God With Form or God Without Form: Bhagvad Gita, Chapter XII, Verses 1-5

God With Form or God Without Form...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Like all of us, Arjuna was also confused about the proper way to worship God.

So, Arjuna very specifically asked bhagwan Krishna whether one should worship God as a person (WITH FORM) or worship God as impersonal (WITHOUT FORM).
(BG:12:1).

Prabhu Shree Krishna answered
Those who worship me with great faith, I consider them to be perfect. However, those worship the impersonal, formless, imperishable Brahman with proper control of senses also will finally attain me.
(Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12:2,3,4)

Bhagwan Krishna answered: Remember those whose minds are attached to the impersonal, formless, imperishable Brahman will find very difficult to progress in their path since they are born with body and mind.
(Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12:5)

Since the concept of God is very difficult to explain, Rishi Veda Vyasa wrote, we can worship God.
With form - SAGUNA BRAHMAN - as well as Without form - NIRGUNA BRAHMAN
