18Teaching Of Bhagavad Geeta change your life in 2023

The Bhagavad Geeta is a sacred Hindu scripture that is part of the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata. It is a conversation between Lord Krishna and the warrior Arjuna on a battlefield and contains teachings on duty, self-realization, and the nature of reality.  The word “Geeta” is derived from the Sanskrit word “geet” which means “song” or “poetry”. It is called the “Bhagavad Geeta” because it is a song or poem spoken by Lord Bhagwan (God) Krishna.

 The Bhagavad Geeta was first said by Lord Krishna to Suraya dev before Arjuna, However, when he was given the teachings of the Gita, he had already taken birth on earth as a king." He forwarded it to his son Mannu. Mannu forwarded it to his son Ichavaku, and after that, it got disappeared for some time. So Lord Krishna again spoke to the warrior Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.The Bhagavad Geeta is part of the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata, which is traditionally attributed to the sage Vyasa. Vyasa is said to have composed the Mahabharata, including the Bhagavad Geeta.

2. The Knowledge of the Self, or Atma Gyan, 

Knowledge of the Self or Atma Gyan is one of the 18 teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. It is understanding the true nature of the self beyond the body and mind. According to the Gita, the Self or Atma is eternal, immortal, and beyond birth and death. The body is only the self's temporary dwelling place and the mind is an instrument for the self's use. By gaining Self-knowledge, one can realize one's true nature and attain inner peace and happiness. The Gita teaches that the ultimate goal of life is self-realization and liberation from the cycle of life and death.

The Sidhs asked, "What is your Jongota (under garment), Udani (flight), Sinni (horn made from animal) and Bani (utterances)?"

Baba Sri Chand Ji replied,

"The mantra given by Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is my jangota, the praise of the Lord is my udani and the unstruck melody within an individual is my sinni. The bānī of the Guru are the utterances which I utter as well."

The Sidhs asked, "What are your Mundra (earrings), Vibhut (ash) and Mirgshala (deer skin)?"

Baba Sri Chand Ji replied,

"Our mundra are made up from abstaining from bad deeds and bringing shame. The vibhūtā which is rubbed on our body is the form of liberation and the mirgani (deer skin) is made up from devotion to the lord. The Guru's son states that the student of the Guru gains these items from the spiritual master and then wears them."

The Sidhs then asked, "Tell us more about the godri that you wear?"

Baba Sri Chand Ji replied,

"The godri is made out of cloth which is the form of contentment and the thread used to put it together is the form of discriminatory knowledge. The godri is made up of different good qualities which are the numerous patches attached to the cloth."

The Sidhs asked, "What type of needle did you use to sew your godri?"

Baba Sri Chand Ji replied,

"The needle used to sew my jacket is made up of the mental concentration of the Lords name with the method taught by the true spiritual master. It is this type of godri that is worn by the saints as it makes them fearless."

The Sidhs asked, "What coloured clothing have you adopted?"

Baba Sri Chand Ji replied,

"The saints who adopt the colours of black, white, ochre and red which are the colours of the four different social castes are all considered as brothers. They are all accepted into this order no matter what their background is."

The Sidhs asked, "What are the Chakmuk (striking stones) that you use to light your Dhuni fire?"

Baba Sri Chand Ji replied,

"The chakmak is made up of the three stones of rajo, tamo and satvo (triguna) which the spiritual master has taught me. By rubbing these stones together with wisdom an individual is able to gain the fire which is the form of imowledge. The sacred fire is then made of the wood of both pain and bliss which is burned."

The Sidhs then asked, "What type of Kapala (skull begging bowl) do you possess?"

Baba Sri Chand Ji replied,

"In order to prevent the mind and organs from committing bad deeds self control is required. This is our respected begging bowl. Our thoughts are focused on the lotus feet of the Lord."

The Sidhs asked, "What food do you use for your sustenance?"

Baba Sri Chand Ji replied,

"Whoever is to offer us food through their faith, we accept it as if it is the elixir of life. We do not judge the food to be either good or bad when it is offered."

The Sidhs asked, "What type of utensils do you have in your possession?"

Baba Sit Chand Ji replied,

"The debate on what is true and falsehood are the great attributes of qualities that I regard as my broom, pot, vessel, bowl which are like a ship to ferry one across to the other side of this worldly ocean. The broom is also considered a utensil to the saints and these are the true utensils that we have in our possession."

The Sidhs then asked, "What is your water vessel and water?"

Baba Sri Chand Ji replied,

"My spiritual master has graced me a discourse which is the elixir filled shabad that I consider my water. The water vessel I possess is the mind with which through drinking the water of the elixir brings peace."

The Sidhs asked, "What types of yoga do you practice?"

Baba Sri Chand Ji replied,

"The Ida is the left nostril and the Pingala is the right nostril. To inhale through the Ida is called the Purak and to exhale out of the Pingala is known as Rechak. Where both of the nostrils meet is known as the Sukhmana and this is where the breath is to be held. To hold the breath at the Sukhmana is known as the term Kumbhak. If a person is to merge their soul with the breaths at this point and create equilibrium, this is the type of yoga practiced by myself."

The Sidhs asked, "What type of Math (ashram) do you have where you sit and focus on the Lord?"

Baba Sri Chand Ji replied,

"To not have any worldly desire for material objects is the desireless Math that I reside in. I sit in such a Math and meditate on the Lord continuously. The city in which I reside is without fear and this is due to the knowledge provided by the spiritual master being the metaphorical illumination within."

- Sri Matra Sahib ji, verse 7-18

George Harrison, Friar Park, 1978; photo by Mike Salisbury.

“I hadn’t written a tune in a while, and ‘Blow Away’ [released on George’s 1979 eponymous album]... I was just sitting in the garden with the pouring rain, it was freezing cold, so I wrote that song. Like any given day will have the morning, and then you’ll have the day, and then the nighttime, and in the Indian philosophy they call this triguna, it means the three basic elements: creation, preservation, and destruction. But they’re all part and parcel of each other. You know, you have the nighttime which is like this negative kind of dark… but it’s — you need that in order to have the freshness again of the new morning. So the song was like that: it started out where everything was… the house was leaking, and the pouring rain, it’s miserable and I’m just about the lose it when I just remember, ‘No, wait a minute, all I’ve got to do is cheer up a little.’ In the second verse, the sun comes out, by the last verse everything’s cool again.” - George Harrison, In The Studio, 1992 (x)

“A lot of people don’t realize that ‘Blow Away’ used the rebuilding of Friar Park, the broken-down nunnery that he restored as his family home, as a metaphor for how he had to rebuild his life after the Beatles broke up and his marriage to Patti[e] ended. The song has a brilliant lyrical and musical structure.” - Russ Titelman (George’s co-producer for his eponymous album), Billboard, 22 June 1996

“‘Blow Away’ I like because it’s so catchy; in fact, I was a bit embarrassed about it at first, but it turned out good and people seem to like it. That was the first new tune I wrote. I was in the garden and it was pouring down with rain, and I suddenly became aware that I was feeling depressed, being affected by the weather. And it’s important to remember that while everything else around you changes, the soul within remains the same; you have to constantly remember that and fight for the right to be happy.” - George Harrison, Rolling Stone, 19 April 1979 (x)

George's music video for “Blow Away” was filmed at a studio in Fouberts Place, London, possibly on 22 February 1979 (the music video premiered on ITV’s children’s program “Pop Gospel” on 6 March of that year). The video was directed by Neil Innes; director of photography was John Henshall.

“I was sitting in the garden in a hut looking at the water as it was pouring with rain. We were having leaks in the house because some drain had blocked and I’d gone out in my hat and raincoat and was down there in the hut getting away from it all. The problems start when you get attached to the problems! That’s when the mind gets involved in too much thinking of whether one is supposed to go here, or do this or that; you know – the bullshit. I was feeling rotten, a bit ratty; not feeling good in myself, and it was all getting next to me. It is remembering again that that isn’t me. Remember what the masters say, ‘I am basically a potentially divine, wonderful human being,’ and all this rattiness or not feeling good is me attaching myself to the mind. The biggest thing that screws us up in life is the mind, it plays tricks on us and can trip you over. I thought, ‘I don’t have to feel all this! I do love everybody,’ and that is really all you’ve got to do, manifest your love. The only thing we really have to work at in this life is how to manifest love.” - George Harrison, I Me Mine (x)

The 10 Mahavidyas are indifferent from each other. They are not 10 different goddesses but one goddess in 10 different forms. They do not bow before any one,nor they serve anyone. While Kali the destroys the universe and dwells in the chaos with her consort Mahakala, for creation she indulge herself in union with the lord of time. But for her offspring as she need extreme power,she absorves her own spouse like a praying Mantis eats her mate's head while intercorse. Mahakala being fully absorbed by her Shakti, takes the form of the trigunatmaka brahmanda in the womb of Kali. And that's how kali becomes Lambodari Tara,the supreme mother. After Tara gives birth to the Triguna, she tooks three forms to the trimurti as their consort for the Leela of creation. She becomes Lakshmi for Sattwa guni Vishnu,Vani for Raja guna Brahma and Uma for Tama guni Shiva. These three forms together becomes the ultimate queen of all her creations- Rajrajeswari Srividya,who dwells in her own celestial heaven,Manideepa. Srividya being Bhubaneswari takes avataras to sustain her creation, being Bhairabi she spreads the ultimate wisdom to redeem her children,and as Dhumavati she destroys her own creation to rebuild it again. As Chinnamasta she provides imortality and self-satisfaction by her own divine necter of blood to those who are spiritually thirsty and suffering from the pain of worldly hunger. As Bagalamukhi she purifies her children from mortal sins and renew them like a newly blossmed yellow plant. As Matangi she fills our eyes with illusion so that we may not get away from her this Sristi -Sthiti -pralayatmaka leela. As Kamala she watches her own leelas and takes no part in it. But only witnesses her own beauty in her own creation. After she is bored with all this she destroys all of these as Kali and again turns the wheel of time as was before,as will be again. They are one soul in different aspects🌺

Benefits of Yoga

Yoga is a perfect art and science discovered by ancient India and it is believed Lord Shiva himself gave the Yogic essence to Patanjali, who revealed them through his immortal Yoga Sutras. Innumerable Rishis and Yogis have since then mastered and perfected this practice which combines the entire human body system through a holistic approach.

Benefits of Yoga -

Combination of Mind, body and soul - Most modern exercises and practices give importance to the physical body alone. But Yoga trains a person to have a combined wellness of one's physical body, the mind and the soul. Yoga practices are generally inclusive of physical movements which help the body. Pranayama or the breathing techniques for a better mind and body. Japas and Mantras for achieving a pristine soulfulness. 

Gives energy - While most physical activities like the gym workouts, walking, jogging and other games take away energy from our body. But Yoga gives us vital energy during the process of Yogic practice. Energy levels are enhanced after the practice of Yoga, while the other forms drains out necessitating a rest after the work outs. Yogic practices are designed to provide energy during the process of practice and that is unique to this system of wellness.

Alters the lifestyle - Practice of Yoga is designed to alter our erratic lifestyles. Most of us in the current times have haphazard lifestyles due to our work and careers. And that leaves us in a quandary to deal with a bad lifestyle leading to mental and physical illnesses. Yoga helps us revitalize our energy levels and change the lifestyle accordingly. Yoga is a way of life and not a one time activity.

Enhances the immunity system: By proper practice of Yoga, people start developing a robust immunity system which has been a talking point during the Covid times. It is natural for us to ignore immunity as we have developed a strong aversion towards immunity boosting foods. Due to modern foods and lifestyle, our immunity levels have gone down badly. Yoga can help us attain a better immune response system. Particularly Pranayamic practices enhance our immunity levels.

Strengthens metabolism - Metabolism is a vital parameter for one's wellness. Yoga, if practiced continuously for a longer duration in years, one can have a better metabolic mechanism in place. And that assumes greater importance in the current times, when our levels of metabolism is not up to the desired levels. Yoga helps us improve our metabolism in the most natural way.

Gives flexibility - As people grow older, the flexibility becomes a problem because of the natural ageing process. In fact, in the modern times people lose flexibility even before the ageing process begins. Yoga certainly helps people regain flexibility even in such a scenario. It is also quite natural for the body to get old with age. Yogic practice helps people overcome the ageing process and remain fit and flexible at all points of time.

Brings in discipline - Yogic practice is not only about physical activity. It is also about regulating our trigunas and tridoshas through better lifestyle management. By regulating our food habits, a Yogi can achieve better results by way of enhancing discipline in our lifestyle. Ancient Indian sages and rishis have discovered the root of all illnesses and have prescribed ways to eliminate them. Yoga certainly helps in the process by bringing in lot of discipline in our lives.

Calms the mind - Through regular Yogic practices, pranayama and meditation which are part of Yogic practices, people can achieve mental calmness. Most of the illness and sickness in our lives are caused by agitated minds. Yoga can certainly help one achieve a calm mind. Mind plays an important role in our overall well being. Yoga and pranayama helps the mind to stay calm even during the troubled waters.

Manages the stress - Stress levels in the modern times have shot up to alarming levels. During Covid, people went through untold miseries, trauma and agony. With the pandemic shaking up the peoples' lives, stress is also going through the roof. Yogic practices with proper pranayama and meditation techniques can help people overcome stressful times.

Shores up the confidence - Practice of Yoga brings in lots of confidence in the minds of the practitioners. Many go through physical and mental illnesses due to a variety of reasons. Some of them are natural and some of them are man made. By practicing Yoga in a regular manner, one gets to have better confidence levels to handle such crises. Yoga in the right combination also eliminates illnesses and thereby boosting the confidence levels.

Unfortunately, in the modern times the practice of Yoga is seen as a mere physical activity, but that is not the case. Yoga is a combination of various factors which effectively addresses the entire human life cycle in a holistic manner. By addressing the system through the physical body, mind and soul, Yoga plays a greater role in regulating them in an orderly fashion. 

Practitioners of Yoga are advised to practice Yoga for a prolonged and as a lifelong activity to have better results. People must remember, Yoga is not a tablet which can cure things in a flash. But Yoga can work wonders if people practice it for a much longer duration. Let's all practice Yoga the way our sages and rishis envisaged the practice.

Consciousness and cosmic energy

Cosmic Play

“Lila” or “Srishty” “The world is a cosmic play of cosmic energy ("Prana")  and consciousness ("Chitta”). Cosmic energy or Prana is a force and Chitta is a Consciousness”. Where is a cosmic energy or prana, there is consciousness. A living being is called “prani” because it has the force and thus consciousness. As prana withdraws body becomes unconscious. The cosmic play is the play of consciousness and cosmic energy. In the beginning, there was only absolute unmanifested consciousness called “Para Bhrama”. Unmanifested consciousness desired “I am alone, let me become many”. This was the first desire aroused within the absolute consciousness. This was the first vibration in the still consciousness. This was the first will of the absolute consciousness. What creates desire possible that is Prana. Prana means livingness. Prana means alive. Consciousness is "Para Bhrama" and the Prana is energy or “Shakti”. This energy is cosmic mother present in every human being in its dormant form. Cosmic mother and consciousness both play together called a "Lila" and it originated the world or “Srishty”. The “Srishty” or the world is the outcome of the play of consciousness and cosmic mother. What is Consciousness? Consciousness is supreme God, supreme soul, "Para Bhrama" or "Shiva". Consciousness is omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, unbounded, unlimited, and never-ending. Consciousness and prana are united and one that are “Shiva” and “Shakti”. Shiva and Shakti are the two views of one coin. Without the “shakti”, “Shiva” is “shava” means without the life force. The body becomes “shava” when “prana” withdraws the body. Same without the “prana” the whole cosmos is lifeless. This is the only prana that makes it alive. The whole cosmos is in a rhythm due to Prana. Prana is the energy of the cosmos. As the cosmos is alive due to prana same all living beings are alive due to prana. This prana is flowing in the subtle channels of the cosmos to make it alive. In the human body, prana is flowing in 72000+ subtle nadies (nerves) and 7 chakras to make it alive. The presence of Prana can be realized only if you have unshaken faith in God via meditaion or devotiion. A child born with the subtle prana stored in its body in a seed form. Some of the channels among the 72000+ channels have blockage due to the past sanskara deposited in the seed form in the subtle body while some are working well and let the child bear the fruits of karma and regenerate more Karmas too, to go forward in the soul journey infinitely. Prana is a life force a cause of everything going on in the body as seeing, hearing, thinking, dreaming, smelling, and blinking of eyes, feeling happy or sad and all other activities going on in the body. As the prana withdraws the body, the body becomes lifeless. Same all the activities going on in the cosmos are just because of the prana. If prana withdraws from the cosmos the total collapse will be there as nothing is possible without the prana. Every activity in the cosmos is due to the prana. Sun is rising, the moon is shining, birds are singing, rivers are flowing, etc., all due to prana. The whole nature is in a rhythm just because of prana. We are living, breathing, thinking, wishing, willing, dreaming, sleeping, and rising all due to prana. Stones have prana, mountains have prana, every object has prana and reflected in the form of aura. Even nonliving things like automobiles are moving, machines are working, plaines are flying, and everything is going on and in the motion just due to the prana. Nothing is possible without the prana. When nonliving things are designed proper precaution is used to give proper space to air to let the machine work efficiently and effectively. What is the meaning of cosmic energy or prana? Prana is not the air that causes the motion, not an oxygen that gives us life, not a carbon dioxide that makes tree alive, not a breath that gives us life, not a pulse that makes us alive, not a beat of the heart, etc., but it is the sum of all the things and many more too the cause of life of every tiny atom to the whole cosmos. Prana means livingness or alive.  That is the prana that forces the physical body to do karma and also a subtle body to move forward and reach to the destined subtle world whether that is a heaven or a hell on the basis of karma after departing the physical body. Prana is ever present in you from your creation to liberation. After the liberation, your prana transforms to mahaprana. Cosmic energy or "Prana" has dynamism A human being "Prani" born with a certain amount of seed prana and changes the prana through breathing, eating, reading, thinking, worshiping, devotion, meditation, chanting mantras, fasting, and accompanying the people of various potencies of prana, etc. It is a continuous process. Every element in the cosmos is full of prana and let the human to receive the prana. Prana is like batteries that store energy. Yogies and devotees accumulate comparatively more prana with the support of pure and pious thoughts and actions. Everything contributes in the accumulation of prana like the style of living, eating habits, thought process, chanting of mantras, worshiping and meditation and the most important an unshaken faith in the God ("para bhrama). For example, consuming food is not enough to restore the prana, but how you are consuming the food, your thoughts, your mental state, your prayer before consuming the food, the feelings of the person who cooked the food, the way of the source of wealth used in collecting the food, etc., everything plays its role in giving prana to the food you are going to consume. Cosmic play and Laws of Cosmic energy Cosmic laws are in existence to felicitate the cosmic play.  Cosmic laws are further energies derived from the cosmic energy just to honor the cosmic play. Law of Polarity (Polarity principle of Ida-Pingala) Law of vibration Law of three qualities “Triguna” - Sattva, Raja, and Tama Law of balance Law of oneness Law of creation & dissolution Law of continuation or Rhythm Law of gender Law of cause and effect (Law of Karma) Click to Post

Yoga and Ayurveda

Integrating Ayurveda and Yoga can capture the full potential of both these age-old practices for total fitness and healthy living Ayurveda and Yoga are two important healing and rejuvenating practices originated in India. Both these systems have their origins in the Vedas. It is believed that Ayurveda is the science and yoga is the practice of this science for the overall health and well-being. According to the Vedic system, Ayurveda is a medicinal system for healing purposes of the body and Yoga is not a medical system but a practice for inner peace and spiritual well-being. While yoga prepares the body for a spiritual rejuvenation and enlightenment, Ayurveda gives ways about keeping the body and mind healthy. For body and soul There are several similarities between Yoga and Ayurveda. Both consider a person not just as a body but as body, mind and soul together. Ayurveda and Yoga are based on the principles of panchabhuthas - earth, air, fire, water and space and trigunas – sattva, rajas and tamas. Both these systems are also based on the constitution of the body (vata, pita, kapha). In Ayurveda diet and medical procedures are based on the body humors of a particular person. Yoga stabilizes all the body humors and different yoga postures have different effects on the vata, pita, kapha body types.
