This Anandam guide, based upon the Timeless Wisdom of Universal Knowledge of Bhagavad Gita, answers you all.
As Paramhansa Yoganandaji said, "The Bhagavad Gita is the most beloved scripture of India, a scripture of scriptures. It is the Hindu's Holy Testament, the one book that all masters depend upon as a supreme source of scriptural authority." The Gita provides wisdom and upliftment, comfort and solace to people of all ages, from all walks of life, from all corners of the Earth.
The Gita is a "Map of Life" for it clearly shows us not only the destination but also the clearest and best path to reach there. However, like any good map, the Gita does not give us only one path. Rather, throughout the Divine Song, Bhagwan Krishna explains how - through devotion, through wisdom, and through action-one can reach the ultimate destination of union with God. For different temperaments He lays out different paths, all the while reminding us that true, earnest yearning and pure, surrendered love for God are the surest and simplest way to attain liberation. The lessons of the Gita do not require one to be a great scholar or a great philosopher. Nor do they demand decades of exacting penance to earn God's favor. Rather, Bhagwan Krishna offers infinite and eternal comfort by His words, "whoever comes to me with devotion will attain me."
Bhagwan Shri Krishna says, "Stand up! Do divine! Be divine! Don't expect, but accept!" Life is about the journey, not about the destination. If the reins of your life- chariot are in His hands, you will be ever happy, ever peaceful. This is the lesson of ultimate surrender that we must take to heart.
"My questions and God's Answers" is not just another commentary on Gita Some of you may be wondering why I decided to write another translation and commentary on the Bhagavad Gita when this has already been done hundreds of times before. First, let me assure you that the book, "My questions and God's Answers" is not another philosophical commentary on Gita. However, it presents the secular teachings of the Gita in a simple, reader friendly fashion with tips on how to practice and apply every day. Hence one can overcome predicaments of daily life and live happily and peacefully in a material world and also attain eternal happiness and peace-the very purpose of life.
My Search for Truth In 1990, I was facing many challenges in every area of my life, business, family, and health. I felt my life was falling apart. I felt totally lost, depressed and confused until I met Swami Hariharji Maharaj (Founder of International Gita Ashram) who advised me to read the Gita.
I had already tried reading many times and had always given up because I could not understand its message. The words were too deep and too complicated for me. I told Swamiji the same. He suggested that I start by reading just three verses per day, the advice that changed my life. While following his advice, I also read some of the commentaries on Gita. For a greater grasp of Gita's verses I also learned Sanskrit.
