By the grace of God and Pujya Gurudev, Shravana Sadhana on Srimad
Bhagawad Geeta has started at Shree Mahalakshmi Temple, Kharghar, Navi
Mumbai by Br. Ved Chaitanyaji. The first chapter was taken from 13 th to 17 th
March 2016 and second chapter from 9 th to 15 th April 2016 (during Chaitra
Navaratri). The sessions were interesting witnessing audience of more than
100 people everyday! It also saw growing young audience.
In the first chapter we saw background of Srimad Bhagawad Geeta. Br. Vedji
explained about the mental condition of Duryodhana and Arjuna.
Duryodhana due to his ego and fear makes a fool of himself. On the other
hand Arjuna, being overpowered by sorrow and delusion gives seemingly
correct arguments for not fighting the war. We also saw the genius of
Bhagavan Ved Vyasa in creating a word painting of their mental condition and
of war.
In the second chapter we saw Arjuna surrendering to Lord Sri Krishna after
which Lord talks about Self Knowledge, thus showing the purpose of human
birth. Then He talks about Karma Yoga as a means to fulfill the purpose.
When Arjuna asks Bhagawan, “Who is such a person deeply rooted in Self
Knowledge”, Bhagawan describes this person through the most beautiful
eighteen verses famously known as Sthita-Prajna- Lakshana.
The third chapter is planned from 12 th to 17 th June 2016.
