Invocation
Meditation on Sri Gita O Bhagavad-gita, sung by the Supreme Lord Himself, You are the bestower of the enlightenment of Arjuna. You have been interwoven within the scripture Mahabharata by Srila Vedavyasa, the writer of the Puranas. In eighteen chapters, You are the rain of ever-flowing nectar, and the almighty potency of the Supreme Lord which delivers the whole material world of suffering. O Mother, I keep You in my heart forever. Obeisances unto Srila Vyasadeva O master of great, formidable intelligence, Srila Vyasadeva, whose eyes resemble the long petals of a blooming lotus flower, and who lit

the lamp of knowledge which was filled with the oil of the Mahabharata - I offer my respectful obeisances unto you. Obeisances unto the Lord as the chariot-driver of Arjuna I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Lord Sri Krsna, who fulfills all the desires of His surrendered devotees. He holds a driving-rod in one hand while the other is poised in the gesture of instruction, and He is the extractor of the nectar of the Gita. The glory of the Gita The crest-jewels of the Vedas, the Upanisads, are like a cow, and the milker of the cow is Lord Sri Krsna, the son of Nanda Maharaj. Arjuna is the calf, the nectar of the Gita is the milk, and the virtuous devotees are the drinkers and enjoyers of that milk. Obeisances unto Lord Sri Krsna I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet

    The Heart Sutra And Plato's Republic: A Literary Analysis

    All across the world, all throughout time, and expressed in many different forms of writing, is the theme of knowledge. Throughout the semester, this recurring theme has appeared in a variety of texts from The Heart Sutra, written by an unknown author, to Plato’s Republic, two texts from entirely different traditions. The former, perhaps one of the most famous Buddhist texts of all time, describes the nothingness that is human experience and was found on a palm-leaf dated back to 609 CE; the latter is a Socratic dialogue focusing on the concept of justice, written by the esteemed philosopher Plato in 309 BCE. Despite the differences in the origins of these texts, they share the theme of knowledge, a theme that is ever-changing. The Heart Sutra and Plato’s Republic uniquely utilize the dynamic theme of knowledge to benefit the world around them.…

    Throughout the Bhagavad-Gita, one reoccurring theme was detachment through the practice of discipline, creates an evenness of mind. To obtain joy you need to let go of the desire of joy itself. The detachment of one’s own desires is called liberation and the only way to get there is through discipline. The verse from the second teaching is important to an overall understanding of the Gitas sense of liberation, because it focuses on finding balance within oneself through the practice of discipline.…

    Bhagavad Gita Analysis

    In the Bhagavad-Gita, Vishnu presents three qualities of nature that are bind within a person’s inner self, atman, which are sattva, rajas, and tamas. In the Bhagavad-Gita translated by Barabara Stoler Miller, she translated in the fourteenth teaching, verse five, that sattva, rajas, and tamas were lucidity, passion, and dark inertia respectively. The first quality of nature, sattva, is portrayed as the good and light in humans. However, according to the Merriam-Webster, lucidity means the clearness of thought or style. I believe that the usage of the word lucidity has less impact and focus on the good nature of humans but more on the clearness and one-dimensional thought of being neither good nor evil. The second…

    One of the main philosophes of the Bhagavad-Gita is the spiritual battle that people have to tend within themselves. Arjuna hard has time accepting the fact that he has to fight against his family. That is main dilemma in chapter one how can he kill his own family? That is when spirituality comes into play. He does want to go against his religion, but at the same time he finds himself momentarily questioning it.

    What Is The Historical Context Of The Bhagavad Gita

    The Bhagavad Gita is a classic tale of Indian spirituality in which Arjuna loses his way on the path of life and requires assistance from his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, to place him on the path to self-detachment and to do what is right. A short, animated film was made to briefly describe the events of the Bhagavad Gita. Although the film was made to teach people about the tale of the Bhagavad Gita, it contained flawed historical context and lacked detail and maturity. In this paper, a revision for the short film will be pitched to improve the short film. The improvements will include a more mature and accurate format of the video itself as well as more accurate historical context from…

    Three Paths in Hinduism

    Three Paths in Hinduism

    There are three paths in Hinduism - the path of knowledge, the path of devotion and the path of action. The topic to be discussed in this paper is the path of devotion, or 'bhakti' in Sanskrit. Devotion is defined as, "love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause" (Google Definitions). In the case of any religion, specifically Hinduism, this devotion is towards a God or number of gods and realizing that they are not just there to be worshipped but will also protect you and help you when you need them, creating a more personal relationship. I chose this topic because I think it is important, regardless of what religion you are, to have an utmost devotion toward whatever God or deity you are worshipping. God is the center of most religions, and without a devotion and love towards God we cannot bear the fruits of the religion, which are the qualities which that God possesses. Bhakti is a predominate theme seen in Hinduism (mostly after the Vedic times) especially in the Epics (Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, etc.). We will discuss the path of devotion and how it is defined, practiced and brought out in Hinduism.…
