Bhagavad-Gita: :Attaining Peace & Happiness with Devotion

 

Why Bhagavad-Gita ?

In today’s modern life we are always in a hurry , doing something or the other. We want to earn big , have all modern amenities and enjoy our life. Anger, tensions, frustration, materialistic comparisons have become part of lives. Our very physical existence in this world keeps us surrounded by many kind of problems and tensions. Daily we hear news of murders or rapes . I think the much needed religious bent of mind is lost somewhere. We need to take a step towards divine Consciousness. We should help others too in moving  on this path.

Reading Bhagavad -Gita on daily basis , may be even one verse a day , can be very helpful to bring joy in our life. When you start reading it , you would find that its verses  comfort you and can give you tips about managing  your  life in a better way, be it managing anger or remaining stress free.

It’s explained in Bhagavad-Gita that as sun is situated in one place but is illuminating the whole universe , similarly our little soul is illuminating the whole body by consciousness. We should try to make this consciousness a divine Consciousness . For that let us take  small Spiritual steps which can help us maintain peace and harmony in minds and add a new meaning to our lives.

Bhagavad-Gita is the essence of Vedic knowledge. It is one of the most important Upanishads in Vedic literature. The speaker of Bhagavad-Gita is Lord Sri Krishna . The Lord himself establishes himself as the supreme personality of Godhead in Bhagavad-Gita. So we should take Bhagavad-Gita as it is directed by Lord himself.

Bhagavad-Gita is the knowledge that the Lord Sri Krishna  gave to his devotee Arjuna .  Lord shared the divine knowledge with Arjuna because he was  Sri Krishna’s friend and a great devotee. So here it can be concluded  that Bhagavad-Gita is best understood by a devotee of Lord. Without devotion (bhakti)  it’s difficult to understand the deep subject matter of Bhagavad-Gita. May be life poses hindrances to making advancement in this devotional path , but we should be tolerant and consistent to make our progress with determination.

Here is the verse highlighting the importance of devotional service. Bhagavad-Gita

Here are few more verses from Bhagavad-Gita which tell about ways of attaining peace and happiness .

Bhagavad-Gita

Chapter 2 verse 71

In today’s world how can we be totally desireless ? But atleast lets try to always remember in mind that everything belongs to the Lord and we shouldn’t claim false ownership over anything.

Bhagavad-Gita

From chapter 12- Devotional Service

Bhagavad-Gita

Ultimately everybody strives for peace and happiness in his/her life. The real peace can be achieved with the grace of the Lord and in Bhagavad-Gita , Lord himself is directing us not to be carried away by the incessant  desires. Let’s try to make Bhakti a part of our daily routine .

I would be very very  happy if I am able to spread the  divine knowledge from The Bhagavad-Gita. If you have not read Bhagavad-Gita as yet, you must give it a try  (but with devotion please .) I am sure its reading will take you out from any kind of fears  and you can be elevated slowly on the path of peace and happiness.

If you really want to read Bhagavad-Gita , I would love to help you. You can mail me at alubhujiablog@gmail.com and provide me your address. I will send you a copy of the book for free.

Zoning out and other tips to free your mind

Red zone , orange zone , green zone , we all are familiar with these terms now-a-days . The district where I live has been declared as a red zone . Red zone is the zone where there are quite a large number of cases of Corona virus infection and it stands a chance to spread rapidly . Orange zone is where there are few cases and it can be controlled with few efforts . Green zone is the one where there’s no virus infection as yet and we want it to remain a green zone . The same concept applies to our thoughts . Sometimes the life becomes a real struggle – there are conflicts with family , pressures at workplace , parenting burdens , health troubles , and there accompany them the stressful  emotions -frustration , anger , sadness , hatred , self-neglect , and many more . When such emotions pile up in your mind , you need to become very careful of your thoughts as your mind has entered a red zone . You have to work on your thoughts so as to avoid potential of community outbreak o...
