The commentaries are commendable. They also have Puranas.   Vedas are available with some Indology publishers based in New Delhi and Varanasi.   All commentaries of Gita press contained the original script in Sanskrit […]

Everything contained in scriptures could only be understood through path of introspection, contemplation… logical reasoning. We could never understand gist of scriptures literally. Whether we choose to travel path of religion or spirituality depends upon our residual balance of karma of the moment. Karma was the inherent governing precept of cosmic life.   By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man […]

All original sacred texts were direct dictates of God Almighty. Vedas (Hinduism revelations) were the first words of God invoked by mankind in the entire history of mankind. They were invoked by highly accomplished sages and saints of that era. As Lipi (written script) had not yet evolved, these messages spread through word of mouth. Only after written script came […]

The inherent knowledge of Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads was integral to every Hindu living in India or outside. Right from childhood stories relating to Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads were told by elders in the family or outside and in yester era it was the only pastime.

All primary scriptures of different religions of world were a direct dictate from God Almighty (Brahman in Hinduism). It was not within capacity of human beings to script scriptures. Every single word contained in scriptures was a dictation by God. The human form, the enlightened souls were but a medium to convey cosmic truths of life contained in scriptures of […]

Not even a single statement, a single word was unethical or wrong in any of the holy scriptures of different religions of world. Reason being teachings contained in all scriptures, sacred texts were invoked by enlightened souls or avatars (God manifest in human form) only. It was the wrong interpretation made by unholy priests, pundits that made the original scripture […]

All holy books delivered the same message, were different paths to God Almighty. Doctored by people of different faiths, beliefs… all holy books were sacrosanct.   If we desire reaching God in present life via path of spirituality then our indulgence in teachings of Bhagavad Gita was necessitated.   By: Vijay Kumar “Atma Jnani”… The Man who Realized God in […]

The original text of religious doctrines always remains the same but interpretation changes with time. If in times of Lord Krishna a battle was fought with bows and arrows does not mean we literally interpret the texts in that light and go to fight our enemies in present times with bows and arrows. Based on scientific advancements of present times […]

Mere reading of scriptures never helps. All that we learn literally fades away with time. First we must indulge in scriptures through path of contemplation and when we get to know the hidden underlying meaning we must spread the message of scripture to our family members. For this purpose everything contained in Bhagavad Gita was truly an asset. We must […]

All holy books pertaining to any religion do not advocate any violence, unethical or immoral practices. It was simply the work of some misguided religious pundits who for their vested interests interpreted the Holy Scriptures differently, only to appease the gullible masses.   If we indulged in Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads (independent treatises)… even Vedas, other than gaining enlightenment in present […]

No matter how best I try, I am not able to differentiate between different fingers of my hand. On path of pure spirituality every single verse (shloka) contained in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads was important. Our indulgence in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads gets necessitated if our goal of life was spiritual, never otherwise. We can complete the spiritual journey only […]

Shastras termed scriptures in English had only one goal in life of human beings… assimilate jnana wisdom contained in them to reach end of cosmic life… God Almighty himself! All primary Shastras (scriptures) were invoked by mankind directly from God Almighty. All Vedas (Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda) were first words of God Almighty invoked by […]

The original sacred texts like Bible, Quran… Bhagavad Gita does not contain any impurity! It was only the interpretations that could go wrong. All invocations, all sacred texts were directly invoked from God Almighty. It just could not contain any impurity whatsoever.   As writings in sacred texts could not be understood literally, they were most of the time interpreted […]

Everything contained in scriptures of different religions of world was forbidden knowledge… something that could not be understood literally. To reach the hidden underlying meaning of sacred texts, our indulgence in contemplation… introspection, logical reasoning was necessitated.   The knowledge was forbidden as long as we failed to reach the hidden inner meaning. Once the inner meaning unveiled before us… […]

Any scripture following which human beings reached stage of enlightenment was sacred. This statement however was spiritual in nature. Any scripture that deals with religious practices, contained stories about ethics and morality also formed sacred literature in Hinduism.   To travel path of spirituality… jnana wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads was necessitated. To indulge in religious practices (rituals) […]
