Message from The Bhagavad Gita for the week of Dec 1, 2019

12/1/2019

​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. ​
​The message from The Bhagavad Gita for this week is from Chapter 6, Verse 19 which says:

​“A lamp in a spot sheltered by the Spirit from the wind of desires does not flicker. This simile is used for the subdued mind of a yogi practicing meditation on the Spirit.”
- The Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, Verse 19

This verse reminds us to not allow disturbing news and events around us to de-stabilize us! Even though we typically think of negative news or events as disturbing, many a times even extreme positive things can derail our mental equanimity and our sense of balance. 
​
In this coming week, mull on the above verse and see how its wisdom is playing out in your life. When you hear of an upsetting event or feel worried in a challenging situation, realize that those are the external situations that are happening in your life. ​
​Ofcourse, you need to appropriately respond as is necessary to address or resolve that situation, but how you feel… how you allow for that situation to impact you, is totally within your control. You determine your response- not just the response, in terms of correct and accurate action, but also response in terms of how you feel (and even more importantly, continue to feel) about that situation- long after it has been addressed.

This is true not just for situations that immediately impact us or those that happen around us but also what we hear in the news and in the greater world at large. How are you responding to all that is happening around you? Can you bring the wisdom of this verse into your life this week? 
​
Can you center yourself and be so balanced and stable within your own self- your deep, inner core; that no matter what your external circumstances happen to be or what is going on around you- you do not allow it to impact your sense of balance and equanimity?

    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.
