Reading the Gita

The first impression i got while reading the Gita was that it is one those religious scripture that tells us the dos and don'ts and the pros and cons if you adhere or violate them respectively. But as I gather basic knowledge of Vedanta through the audio classes my understanding got better and my attitude towards Gita changed a little bit. The slokas were wonderful to recite and meaning of them poetic as well philosophic. I started loving the Gita and continued reading it with my own effort.

   

      Though many of you know a thing or two about Gita, I would like to share what i have learned from reading the Gita. I too, like the millions of us, believed Gita's main teaching is to proclaim, do your duty, do not expect benefits. But actually Gita has to offer to humankind more than what we think it possesses. 

        There are eighteen chapters in the Githa. This spritual text has been taken from the Mahabharatha, a monumental work of Veda vyasa. The Gita is essentially a conversation between Arjuna and Lord Krishna.  Arjuna is one of the five brothers of Pandavas. Their cousins are kauravas who are numbered hundred and all their names starting with Dur. Duryodana is one among them and the most powerful, plays a siginificant role as the main villain.

Encountered with severe emotional storms, arjuna surrenders to lord Krishna

acupuncture

      Jai gave me the acupuncture treatment for nearly ten days. There are four specific points for the nose block problem to be treated. you need to inject the acupuncture needles in those points and keep them for at least an hour. There is a gun for injecting needles. If I have opted to take the same treatment from a professional acupuncturist it would have taken a hell of a lot of time and money. This treatment, coming from your close friend, is absolutely free of cost. I could feel the difference within three days of the commencement of the treatment. after ten days the nose block was completely gone. According to me, this is a miracle. I could never have imagined I would have got rid of my persisting problem. I was able to sleep peacefully after many long years. I still have sneezing problem which I may have developed because of my teaching profession. Even that has reduced a lot after the treatment. Even these days I get cold whenever I take cool drinks. I immediately take refuge in the acupuncture pack i have brought from India given by Jaichandran.

    Now coming back to Vedanta,  i have started listening to classes mainly by swami guruparananda and swami Omakarananda. Swami Omakarananda's classes on Srimad Bhagavad Gita with his Brahmin are quite interesting. Though I could  not understand many Vedantic terms the listening enabled me enter the Gita text. I started reading the Gita text I brought from India.

       

confrontations with sprituality

Out of the dustbin

My confrontations with sprituality

I have been listening to Swami Guruparananda's classes on aparoksha anubhuthi for the past few months. I could not listen to them continuously due to my weakness in concentration. It is very difficult for me keep my enthusiasm and motivation going without any external support. I should really pray for my Guru’s grace to guide me in the right path. 

                I came to know of Swami Guruparananda through my college mate and best friend jayachandran who has always been my mentor in my spiritual quest.  Though  I was attracted towards words like yoga, meditation, pranayama etc, the affinity was naturally a response towards the modern trend. I did not realize then spirituality was the only path that I should pursue. Due to my family environment and the way I was brought up I was into this money making and saving for future business (not to mention still I am doing the same, though with a clarity of vision).  So I believed what I followed was real spirituality. In adhering to the disciplines recommended by the so called modern guru’s I thought I could attain enlightenment.  Then jayachandran  introduced me the vision of Vedanta. Although I have heard about the word Vedanta, my impression about Vedanta was not healthy largely due to image created by the elders surrounding me. They used to say it is varattu Vedanta ( dry and useless), and Vedanta only talks about mayavada and one cannot gain anything from it. To support this belief the swamis of Vedanta are not attractive like the modern gurus. Their wardrobe doesn’t contain more than half a dozen saffron dhothis. They always speak in a monotonous tone and seem to follow Hinduism’s  superstitious beliefs. Not to mention the criminal swamis and anandas getting arrested for sexual harassment resemble the larger group anandas.  Any swami’s name ending with an ananda tend to create an immediate feeling of nausea and allergy. So obviously you want to keep yourself away from them.

                But when jayachandran introduced me the vision of Vedanta I could see an entirely different perspective to it. He convinced me to listen to swami guruparananda’s and swami Omkarananda’s Vedanta classes. When I tried to listen to them initially they appeared to me as boring and as a time waste. But I always trusted my friend’s  clarity of thinking and I have reaped lot of benefits whenever I followed his suggestions. one important example I can give here. I used to suffer a lot with nose block since my child and ever since i arrived in the Maldives i developed a problem of sneezing. i have tried pranayama for more than one and  a half year, took nose drops for years with little or no effect. especially i had numerous horrible nights fighting my nose block and sneezing giving headaches to my wife.

    I was very excited when Jai introduced me to acupuncture. he was learning acupuncture at that time and he had strong conviction about its remedial properties. He even tried to stop my mother from undergoing an operation for back problem. he said if she could take this treatment for a fortnight she will be completely cured of her back pain and an operation would be unnecessary. Call it orthodox, name it disbelief, she went on with the operation. I personally did not believe acupuncture could cure major problems like that either. But when he also had same problem like mine and cured himself with the aid of acupuncture, I was really delighted.
