Glimpses On Srimad Bhagvad Gita

Glimpses On Srimad Bhagvad Gita
P k Routray
This is a too high an aspiration,
to present you the limitless infinite within this nave’s limitation.
With chanting of “Om” and offering this dare devil attempt at His feet,
This author is presenting the micro of the macro and a pebble from mountains of a great scriptural feat.
There are three Gitas named as Kapila Gita Udhab Gita and the Srimad Bhagvad Gita worshipped In Hindu religion,
Each is directly from His mouth to mitigate human sufferings and to show him the path of liberation.
The quintessence of Srimad Bhagavad Gita is being brought before my dear readers,
to give them the glimpses of the greatest preaching and the gist of all Hindu scriptures,
to generate interest to know “Who am I?”,
and to tell “Where do I go when I die”,
to remove the delusion of a worldly person
with wisdom on purusha and prakriti, shunning the illusory attachment and surrendering to Him the fruit of action.
Great philosophies from masters may differ from religion to religion,
But they get mutilated when pass from mouth to mouth with inclusions of mortal man’s many an interpretation.
Here is a sermon straight from the mouth of the Lord,
Since last five thousand years this scripture without any alternation has been being worshipped and adored.
The Srimad Bhagvad Gita has eighteen chapters and seven hundred one verses,
Scripted in Sanskrit on palm leaves as delivered by Lord himself, untouched, never mutilated over ages.
The great wisdom on “Soul the real” and “The body the ephemeral” is imparted to a man in delusion,
Unattached to the fruit of action, surrendering completely with deeds and thoughts at His feet, a man must perform the righteous action.
The divine, demoniac characteristics and the three qualities of man as Sat, Tama and Raias have been deliberated upon,
To drive the wisdom in the deluded man He dwelt on Himself as all bests in cosmos with wonderful description.
Ultimately He exhibited His limitless form limiting it to the limit of a man’s divined vision.
True Karma, wisdom and devotion in the epic have found their true individual definition.
This sacred scripture transcends the barrier of all faiths philosophies and religions,
This author suggests the readers to read this sacred book’s English version.
It is worth citing an example on its utility and contribution,
Gandhiji acclaimed as India’s father of nation used to read only chapter two to mitigate his sorrow and tension.
