Gita Jayanti- de dag om na te denken naar de absolute waarheid

English version here:
Op 5 december 2012 is de Gita Jayanti. Dit is een gelegenheid gesteld in de Vedische cultuur om na te denken naar de absolute waarheid zoals het gegeven is in de Bhagavad Gita Zo As Ze Is.

Op Gita Jayanti herdenken we de dag waarop Heer Krishna de Bhagavad-gita sprak tot Zijn dierbare toegewijde Arjuna op de plek die bekend staat als Jyotisar Tirtha, Kurukshetra, temidden van de strijdende Kuru’s en Pandava’s. Het is nog steeds mogelijk om deze plek te bezoeken en het monument te zien van Heer Krishna als “Partha-sarathi” (de wagenmenner) en Arjuna als strijder. De ashram die deze tempel onderhoudt, beweert dat de boom die er groeit, afstamt van de oorspronkelijke boom die daar stond toen de Bhagavad-gita werd gesproken.

Traditiegetrouw gaan toegewijden naar Kurukshetra (Dharmakshetra) en reciteren daar dan de Bhagavad-gita van de vroege ochtend tot vroeg de volgende ochtend, offeren arati aan Bhagavad-gita en aan Heer Krishna en Arjuna op de strijdwagen, offeren lampjes (“deep daan”), reciteren Sanskriet passages uit de Gita, en wonen seminars bij over het belang van de Gita in de hedendaagse samenleving.

Toegewijden die niet in staat zijn naar Jyotisar Tirtha te gaan, gedenken deze gezegende gelegenheid door de Bhagavad-gita te reciteren en samen met toegewijden de onderwerpen van de Gita te bespreken. Het verspreiden van Bhagavad-gita’s op deze dag is een zeer gunstige activiteit.

Waarom de Bhagavad-gita zo belangrijk is 
De Bhagavad-gita bevat het antwoord op vragen als: Wat is het doel van het leven? Waarom lijden we? Wat is het doel van karma? Wie ben ik, wie is God en wat is onze relatie? Grote Indiase wijzen en geleerden over de hele wereld, zoals Gandhi, Einstein en Thoreau, hebben enorm veel kennis uit de Gita gehaald en dienen als voorbeeld voor de hele wereld.

Recentelijk, met de gigantische toename van Krishna-toegewijden over de hele wereld, is Srila Prabhupada’s vertaling, Bhagavad-gita zoals ze is een grote bron van inspiratie geworden voor velen.

Manav Dharma of Satpalji Maharaj will be better only IF they follow Krishna Consciousness also

OPINION By elevating yourself to Krishna Consciousness your goal of having a human form of life will be attained easily and quickly as you would qualify to get into the kingdom of God. On the earth too, you will live  in peace of mind.There is not other authentic quick and easy way. Every one needs peace and thus the human races has been in search of peace and happiness all the time. They are looking for the methods that would hopefully enable them attain peace mentally and physically. In the process some look out for the ascending order of methods, some the descendeing order. Both deserve equall respect although one method would be more beneficial and easy than the other depending on the individual themselves. The perfect wisdom to accept for peace or liberation is the descending process of wisdom. This means the proces of attaining peace and happiness by accepting the wisdom that is given by the absolute creator, Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This wisdom ...

As a matter of fact ever since he met Srila Prabhupda he offered himself completely to his service and the way he is serving him till today is a wonderful example for all of us. In the early days in Mayapur there were not so many devotees. Therefore, we had the oportunity to have a very close relationship with each other. Although he was the leader of Maypur, he was very humble and carin...

Few predictions for the modern time kali age from the Vedic scripture Bhagavatam

In the last canto of the Bhagavata Purana there is a list of predictions and prophecies about the dark times for the present age of Kali Yuga. The following 15 predictions, written 5,000 years ago by sage Vedavyasa, are amazing because they appear so accurate. Despite the negative tone of these prophecies, there is still one bright spot for all of us, which is mentioned at the end. Prediction 1: Religion, truthfulness, cleanliness, tolerance, mercy, duration of life, physical strength and memory will all diminish day by day becaus of the powerful influence of the age of Kali.

And law and justice will be applied only on the basis of one's power. Source: Srimad Bhagavatam 12.2.2 vittam ev...
