SHUBH SHREEMAD BHAGVADGITA JAYANTI (13/12/2013, Friday)...
Shree Sanatana Dharma Prachar Samiti at Shree Jyotisar Tirth (Kurukshetra), where Lord Shree Krushna (The Sanskrit name for God is Krushna, or ‘One who attracts all) delivered the sermon of Bhagavad Gita, the doctrine of Karma and Dharma. It is here that He showed his Virat rupa (Universal form).
.... The Bhagavad gita was originally spoken in 3137 BC. This date can be established by astronomical references found within the Mahabharata, the larger, 100,000-verse book in which the Gita is found. Since then, it has become one of the most widely read texts of the world.
The zeitgeist at the moment, certainly in the West, is for a book that brings humanity together; that creates harmony where there is discord. What is required is a book of truth that rises above the religious classifications that are often based upon geographical, tribal linguistic and cultural boundaries. The Gita, a sacred conversation between Shree Krushna and Arjuna, is the oldest of all, spoken before all the religions of the world were born. To the scholar, the Gita ranks as the main text that encapsulates the essence of ethics and spirituality. Yet to the genuine spiritual seeker it is much more than that: it is a sublime and metaphysical dialogue of universal importance that will provide immediate clarity and reward. For thousands of years it has enriched the minds of the greatest eastern thinkers; now is the time for it to be found on the bedside tables in the west. It is the most important gift to give to someone at a key point in his or her life. Only 700 verses long, the Gita is written in easy language, is poetic, clear and concise.
We can see that rival religious followers and their holy books seem to be the cause of much conflict in the world. An intelligent person might reasonably question how another holy book – with another set of followers – could possibly help the situation. Yet the Gita itself is not a sectarian book for a particular tribe or race, at a particular time in history. Its metaphysical teachings are universal in nature, transcendental to the divisions of geography, ethnicity, language or time period. They are concerned only with the spirit, which knows no mundane identity, and the spirit’s eternal relationship with God. They cover how to attain enlightenment, become free from illusion, and how to restore peace and happiness to life. In this the Gita is the essential information for all thinking people who value peace and prosperity in the world...... http://deshika.wordpress.com/bhagavad-gita/
