A Discussion on Bhajagovindam : ( 19/01/2013. )

1. This is last mantram of BhajaGovindam. 2. This mantram tells us :about "Antaranga Sadhana" ( inner exercise). 3. They are : a). Control of all life's activities in the body ( Pranayama), b). Sense of withdrawl ( Pratyahara), c). Discrimination ( Nitya-Anitya-Viveka-Vicara), d). Japam ( Chanting of Mantrams ), e). And Samadhi : (Majority mean this word as death, this notion is wrong.) It is a cumulative effect of all these (a+b+c+d) reaching a state of utter silence within, which is spring board to the "HIGHEST". 4. "please perform with care....... with great care." ENDS.

Mantram-29. 1. Strange: Wealth estranges us all. When you have not any, you will pant to get some! When you get some, you grow jealous of others who have more, and feel conceited among those who have less! 2. Grabbing-game: When you become little successful, your jealousy and conceit  are not  thereby  going to recede proportionately, but, strange, in the arithmetics of the money-mad world  your jealousy becomes powerful, and your conceit limitless. 3. Wealth is not welfare : Even one's son becomes a source of fear for the unholy man's riches. 4. When you possess money, wealth is blessing. Allow money to possess you: wealth is a curse and it will not give you any comfort. 5. This is the Truth of the  wealth. This is the way of the wealth.

Mantram-28. 1.Today we indulge in carnal pleasures, we live only to enjoy these, to achieve we go to any extent. Many people think that they are born to enjoy, nothing else; 2. Later on, alas, end in diseases of the body.  3. Even though our ultimate end is death, 4. Even then, man leaves not his sinful behaviour. 5. Now a days people live the animal instincts, it is not difficult for men because it is going down or backwards. 6. This is Maya: "push and pull of vasanas", they push us into sin, and pull us away from good and divine values of spiritual living   

Mantram-27. "The four unavoidable 'musts'in the daily programme:- 1.The study of Bhagavad Geeta, and follow the text in the life. Geeta is your guide to life. 2. Chanting of Vishnu Sahsranamam daily, as japam, concentrate on in the japam, during meditation. 3. You should live in the company of Good people and good things. 4. Serving the needy, Live for others, Practice Charity throughout life.

Mntram- 26. 1.Discard desire, anger, greed, and delusion. 2.The seeker sees in the Self, 'He am I.' 3.They are fools who have no Self-knowledge. 4.And they consequently become captives in hell and tortured. 5. There fore, to sum up, renounce desire, anger and greed and come to experience that "He am I"; this alone is the fulfillment of a man's mission in life. In fact, God alone  is: the concept  "I" is a stupid dream. Surrender and realize. 6. Through right knowledge reject what you are not, and assert your Real nature, and come to realize the Oneness of the Life in You and the Life Everywhere Present.

1. The whole universe has emerged out from the One Womb of Reality, so who is the other one whom I can afford to hate! Nor is there one whom I can afford to court particularly and love specially! All are His (Lord) manifestations alone, including you and me. 2. Do not waste your time and energy to quarrel against or to make friends with anyone; be it enemy, friend, son, or relative. 3. It may be asked then, what exactly is life meant for? What exactly is the direction in which one's emotional energy should flow out?  4. Answer: If you are a seeker of the Fuller Life, if you are thirsty to hear the Melody in the Harmonious Existence, If you are hungry to taste and enjoy the Essence of Life, seek to realize the One Reality  which holds together the whole Universe into one garland of beauty. 5. So seeking the Self everywhere, lift the sense-of-difference (plurality), born out of 'ignorance'. 

1. This is a declaration to a second/third  person that the Lord as Jeevatma  present within us ( in you, in me, in all). 2.No one need to quarrel upon this. 3.Be always balance ( equal) minded, thereafter you attain vishnu. This means one who over come emotional mind and become balanced mind already united with the Lord(Vishnu).

Mantram-23. 1. Who are you? 2. Who am I? 3. From where did I come? 4. Who is your mother? 5. Who is your father? 6. Thus enquire,  7. Leave aside the entire world-of-experience ( visvam). 8. Which are essence less and mere dreamland, born of imagination( svapna-vicaram). 9. Dismiss all. 10. And clear your mind.

Today:-  The best Ono's among us strive under a philosophy of "minimum effort and maximum gain," while the forefathers of our culture lived in our land with the healthy philosophy of "maximum effort and minimum gains" to themselves.  The difference between these two philosophies is like night and day; and the joyous life in a cultured society should necessarily be poles far removed from the sorrows of a barbarous, uncultured, immoral society.
