Bhagwat Gita - Its Essence

ABOUT THE BOOK
This work in English rhyme, hopes to preserve the sense of the great classic. If this work can incite the reader to turn to the original it would have achieved its purpose.
Gita and Ramayana are perhaps the sum total of the fabrics of Hinduism (- a way of life; the religion generally followed is called `Sanatan Dharma'). Gita teaches us both metaphysics and practice of disciplined action. It proclaims that life is worth living, teaches how it should be lived and the path to self-realisation. It is the cream of the Upanishads, which themselves are the core of the Four Vedas.
Lord's teachings do not end with what He stated to Arjun. He resides in each one of us and so communicates to us through our conscience.

Chapter 1 - Arjun's Dilemma
Lamenting the Consequence of War
The scene is on the plains of Kuruksetra and with Arjun uncomfortable with the consequences of war. This chapter introduces the reasons behind the war, characters involved, warriors on both sides, Arjun’s dejection at having to fight against his own kith and kin and his fears of the sins that may be on him for doing so.

धृतराष्ट्र उवाच
धर्मक्षेत्रे कुरुक्षेत्रे समवेता युयुत्सवः।
मामकाः पाण्डवाश्चैव किमकुर्वत संजय॥
॥१-१॥
Raja Dhritrashtra
"Tell me Sanjay of their deeds,
Of Kauravs, Pandavs - their feats,
What rages at their field of duty,
At Kurukshetra - visualize clearly."

Goals Of Life


BASIC LIFE ATTRIBUTES

Four purusharthas or goals of the life be,
So very crystal clear in life undisputedly;
1
Artha getting useful wealth and prosperity,
Finding the meaning for living herein truly;
2
Kama fulfilling desires, acting repeatedly,
It the physical, material desire fulfillment be;
14
Dharma – the foundation of all human goals be,
Refers to obligations, conduct, moral duties;
25
Moksha – the liberation from the web of maya be,
Freedom from the cycles of birth and death clearly;
33
As all the rivers must lead to the sea eventually,
All spiritual paths leading to the same goal finally;
43
And all of the variety of life are created certainly,
By combination of the three Gunas undisputedly.
44
That the backdrop for the Bhagwat Gita surely be,
All three gunas so held to delude the World clearly:
75
World deluded by Three Gunas does not know Me:
Who beyond these Gunas, imperishable does be.
76
If Brahman an infinite ocean, then Atma a wave within be,
Ocean not different from its waves, the waves as ocean be;
They are but one and the same very similar in actuality,
So Brahman and Atma are one and the same in reality.

Devi Mahatmayam In English Rhyme


Durga Saptasati or Devi Mahtmayam has been written in English rhyme (with the original text) and is available at:
2. Amazon 
    - India

ABOUT THE BOOK


Devi Mahatmayam, also known as Durga Saptashati, Sri Chandi or Saptashati, is from the Markandeya Mahapuran. Devi Mahatmayamm literally means ‘Glory of the Goddess’. Here the seven hundred mantra story describes the victory of the Goddess over the Asuras (Madhu-Kaitabha, Mahishasura and Shambha-Nishumbha) - representing the conquest and freedom from the tamsik Mahakali (Chapter 1), rajsik Mahalakshmi (Chapters 2-4) and satvik Mahasaraswati (Chapters 5-13) forces. Her adversaries represent the all-too-human impulses arising from the pursuit of power, possessions, pleasure and from the illusions of self-importance.

The Devi, personified as one supreme Goddess and many goddesses, confronts the demons within us - representing the field of human consciousness within each person.

Spiritual practice of Sadhaka, facing three forces be,
Of Tamas, Rajas, Sattva – stage by stage gradually;
- 129 –

Devi-Mahatmayam has special meaning for spirituality,
With illumination, wisdom, strength to freedom finally!
- 150 –

After the slaying of these basic three qualities only,
Does dawn ‘Dashmi Dhashahra’ – the final victory.
- 151 –

Devi-Mahatmayam or Durga Saptashati Katha but be,
Showing the path of life to the whole of humanity;
- 152 –

Very much like the holy Bhagwat Gita undoubtedly,
As the song of the Lord for enlightenment does be.
- 153 –

To the integral character of the spiritual practice glory,
Glory to Man, village, town, country, universe, God be!
- 154 -
