To gain emancipation from cycle of birth and death forever, to reach cosmic end of life, 8.4 millionth manifestation… to gain enlightenment and reach stage of moksha salvation, to become a man god like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or prophet Mohammed, one must indulge in Bhagavad Gita. If our goal of life was different from above, we must […]
The contents of Bhagavad Gita can only be understood following path of contemplation, path of logical reasoning. Even an enlightened one could never preach Bhagavad Gita. The contents of Bhagavad Gita need assimilation from within.

There is only one question prohibited to ask in Bhagavad Gita… Why did God Almighty create present cosmos in the first place? Even through path of logical reasoning, we never reached the answer. The answer to this query becomes clear only when one gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana), never before. The present cosmos came into being when God Almighty exploded […]
It is a proven principle of life that it was close relatives never friends who hurt you most. From childhood you start trusting your relations, whoever it be. With passage of time this bond of relationship gets stronger but only on the surface. As observed in practical life, one who was simple, a godly natured person most of time suffered […]
If an outsider came to me and asked, “Which of your 10 fingers is the best”… what would I say, the middle, index, ring and pinky finger or the thumb? Would I be able to justify any of my answers? For me, all my eight fingers and two thumbs were equally important. Attempting to make a distinction between different shlokas […]
I need climbing the highest mountain in world without referencing Mount Everest in discussions. I desire going from Delhi to Bombay within four hours but concept of journey by air is totally ruled out. How to deal with such a situation? Are we being ignorant or deliberately playing the ignorance card? Bhagavad Gita, the sermon given to mankind by […]
In a democratic setup like India who is primarily above all, the parliament or the courts? Any parliament world over is only meant for establishing laws, nothing more. The execution of these laws is the responsibility of the government. However if the Administration, the policing fail in their efforts then judiciary played its role in maintaining harmony in the society! […]

In a broader context, when we worked for welfare of entire mankind, all means to an end are justified. If Chanakya (the most able administrator in the history of entire mankind) got hundred Kings eliminated in one night, he did not commit any sin as per Lord Krishna. To save lives of millions of civilians and soldiers if a few […]

The teachings of Bhagavad Gita were never meant for normal life. One should indulge in Bhagavad Gita only if our goal of life was reaching God in present life. We just could not ride two boats at the same time. We need concentrating our efforts behind a single goal of life. The most primary teaching of Bhagavad Gita that […]
No matter how best we tried to dwell in matters physical, Bhagavad Gita always tries to sway one from path ephemeral to spiritual. Why this happens? Why could we not live physical manifest life in a meaningful way? Why the promptings from within? What exists within that tells us all the time that physical part of life was ephemeral, short […]
