Vanamali Pandit das Prabhu (vpd.rns@gmail.com), have been discussing/studying Srila Prabhupada’s books and have now completed Sri Isopanisad, Nectar Of Instruction and a series on the Essence of Bhagavad-Gita. Starting in July they will be studying Bhagavad-Gita verse by verse . Please take this opportunity to deepen your knowledge and understanding of the Bhagavad-Gita.
The Vedic texts are the panacea for all problems, for all times. They give clear understanding of all the fundamental and essential truths of life including who we are, what are the true goals of life and how we can attain permanent happiness. Bhagavad-Gita is considered the essence of all Vedic scripture.
Lord Krishna say's in Bhagavad-Gita.
adhyesyate ca ya imam / dharmyam samvadam avayoh
jnana-yajnena tenaham / istah syam iti me matih
"And I declare that he who studies this sacred conversation worships me by his intelligence”
sraddhavan anasuyas ca / srnuyad api yo narah
so 'pi muktah subhal lokan / prapnuyat punya-karmanam
"And one who listens with faith and without envy becomes free from sinful reactions and attains to the planets where the pious dwell."
Quotes on BG from extraordinary personalities:
"When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad-Gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day."
- Mahatma Gandhi
"When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe, everything else seems so superfluous."
- Albert Einstein
