​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 shloka from The Bhagavad Gita for this week. This message is from Chapter 2, Verse 67 which says:
Picture
“Because the mind, when controlled by the roving senses, steals away the intellect as a storm takes away a boat on the sea from its destination, the spiritual shore of peace and happiness.  ”

- The Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Verse 67
With all that is going on around us- in our families, with our friends, in the community and in the greater world at large- it is but obvious that we are all getting influenced to some extent or the other. 

We tend to form opinions and feel various emotions in our own ways- some may feel anger, others fear or anxiety. This in turn can make us react by wanting to take charge and act promptly and there will be others who may feel a sense of dejection and meaninglessness to everything!!
​
This shloka warns us from any such strong feelings and emotions. We need to remember that any kind of strong feeling even though seemingly loving or noble- like a fathers love for his son (made Dhritirashtra ‘blind’ to Duryodhana’s inappropriate behaviors- ultimately leading to the Kurukshetra war) or even a mother’s love for her son, which is considered as the noblest of emotion- but even here one cannot get so enamored that we fail to see Dharma (righteous action). 
Picture
A great example of this is Gandhari who all along could see her son’s misbehavior. She knew Pandavas were correct in waging war against her sons and so she never gave him any blessings to win the war- but on the last day, she felt so strongly influenced by her love for her son that she tried to use all her good karmas to make him ‘unbeatable’ (which ofcourse failed).
​
This shloka asks us to remember that- no matter what happens around us or even to us- no matter how strongly we feel certain emotions, we cannot allow for it to sweep us off our feet.

​We need to all be grounded in our sense of Dharma (correct life-path) and feel secure and supported in the Divine presence.
How often do we hear words like “blind anger” or ‘uncontrollable passion” …. Anytime one acts under the influence of such strong emotions, it inevitably leads to more problems- it could be broken relationships or even illegal or immoral actions. 

So, it is important to focus our attention on how we are feeling inside and thus bring our inner fears and insecurities to the fore-front, then we can consciously be aware of our feelings and emotions.

This in turn will provide us proper, required stability which will further allow us to think clearly and then take appropriate action- as required for a particular situation. 
Picture
​This week reflect on the above shloka and see what specific meanings come up for you. What are some interpretations that resonate with you. Reflect on how you can extrapolate the meaning and utilize its guidance for your current life situation.

​The Bhagavad Gita shlokas are time immemorial!! So make sure that you and utilize its guidance- not just for this coming week, but for all the times ahead.

I wish everyone a fantastic week ahead…

    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.
