Message from The Bhagavad Gita for several weeks starting January 12, 2020

​Categories: Shloka For The Week and The Bhagavad Gita

Message from this shloka is not only applicable for this week but for all time to come- this is the wisdom of The Bhagavad Gita.   The divine song as presented by Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the battlefield of Kurukshetra, which represents the battle of life- as we all experience. ​
Here is message-quote from The Bhagavad Gita for this and many weeks to come. This message is from Chapter 10, Verse 9 which says:

“My devotees remain ever content and delighted. Their minds remain absorbed in Me, and their lives surrendered unto Me. They always enlighten each other by talking about Me.”

- The Bhagavad Gita Chapter 10, Verse 9
​Change is probably the most applicable word for the start that we have had to 2020!! I am sure, we all will agree that this year has had a very unique and intense start. We are returning from the brink of a possible major war and even though things have calmed down, they do not look all cleared and sorted out. 

On a personal front, you may be undergoing many changes- at all levels of your being- be it emotional, psychological or even physical. Also, things may be changing around you. You be contemplating changing your job or taking up some new course, getting into a new relationship and so on…

So, during such times in our life, when there seems to be so much of change and flux- in and around us, what do you think is the ONE thing that concerns most people??
​It is the distinct feeling of ‘Lack of Control’ or ‘Losing Control’. Many people chose certain unpleasantness over uncertain joy and happiness. In a strange way, uncertainty tends to stress and upset us, even though we know for a fact that the new situation will be far better for us or that the old situation was so terrible, that whatever the coming times bring us, it has got to be better than what we left behind!! 

I am sure, as you read those lines, you agree with the simple and clear logic behind those statements. But unfortunately, we humans are not very logical in thinking, behaviors and actions! And it is our irrational approach, which also makes us feel that we can control a situation, by ‘more’ structure and strategy… by ‘more’ planning. 
​
But reality is that- life is uncertain by its very nature. Not that I am underrating the merits of good planning and implementation. We all know- that it is very important to have proper structure, discipline and planned approached in our life.

What I am indicating here is that since life is inherently very unpredictable and there are many changing vectors at any given instance; even as we plan our life to stay in control, we need to provide a lot of leeway for unexpected occurrences!

We need to understand that, ultimately everything pans out as per the grand divine plan! Now, if you are wondering about how karma and freewill play out, then check out that article- titled: Destiny ‘vs’ Freewill- what determines our life? i.e. How freewill and destiny operate in our Life.

The actual equation that corelates our action and outcome (fruits of our action) is not simple or linear. It is very complex and can (usually does) include several factors that are totally unknown to us. In such instances what is important is to do out best and then leave the rest for Divine grace and providence.

The key is to surrender… give up the need to always be in control (we are not anyways) and learn to excel at doing our actions to the best of our ability. ​

​And you will find that prayers are a great way to connect with the divine and to get into that space where we can feel the beneficial presence of the Divine working within our lives. Prayers can mean different things to different people- it is not how you do it, but how connected you feel with the source that is important.

Particularly over the next several weeks, make it a point to pray and connect with the Divine. Strive to do your best. Learn to establish a living connection with the Divine.

Find joy in being… being within and being in the conscious presence of the Higher Self/ Divine (called Bhakti Yoga). 


​
Note: this Bhagavad Gita message is not just for this week (starting Jan 12, 2020) … but for many more weeks to come. Hope you take the time to learn and follow the path of Bhakti Yoga, which is probably one of the easiest Yoga methods to connect with the Divine and fortunately for us, it is also one of the most powerful!

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
