Hoax BookIn 1920, The Papalagi made shockwaves in European society. Supposedly written by a Samoan chief, the book purported to feature his thoughts on the European way of life, critiquing a society whose obsession with money had created social inequalities, abysmal working conditions, pollution, and consumerism. But in a plot twist, the true authorship of the book turns out to have been a manifestation of the very Western, colonialist culture the book was intended to criticize.READ MORE →

Trees Social Distance, TooLook up next time you’re in a forest and you might notice the phenomenon called crown shyness, which refers to the gaps that trees may maintain between their top-most branches in order to protect against natural threats. It has an uncanny similarity to the social distancing that has helped slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Can we take any lessons from the trees?READ MORE →

Their work has taken them to seed banks, university vaults, and museum shelves—all in the name of healing racist wounds inflicted on Native American food systems.READ MORE →

The technology giant announced last week that it is investing in the construction of two of the world’s largest onshore wind turbines to support its data center in Viborg, Denmark. (The Viborg center supports iMessage, Siri, Apple Music, and the Apple Store in Europe.)The 200-meter-tall turbines will produce enough electricity to power almost 20,000 homes and “will act as a test site for powerful offshore wind turbines,” according to Apple.The investment is part of Apple’s plan to make its entire supply chain carbon neutral by 2030, an initiative the company announced in July. The tech behemoth also aims to cut down its water usage and phase out single-use plastic in packaging by 2025.“Combating climate change demands urgent action and global partnership — and the Viborg data center is powerful proof that we can rise to this generational challenge,” said Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of environment, policy, and social initiatives in a statement. “Investments in clean energy deliver breakthrough innovations that bring clean energy and good jobs to businesses and local communities.”— Angely MercadoSmog cloudsTHE SMOGNeed-to-know basisAt least seven people died in the fires raging in the western U.S. on Wednesday, including a 1-year-old. Fires in Oregon, Washington, and California have burned hundreds of thousands of acres this week and razed entire towns.

August’s Most-Watched
If you have even a passing interest in philosophy, you’re likely familiar with Plato’s allegory of the cave. But philosophy newbies and grizzled veterans alike will find something to savour in this 1973 animated adaptation of the parable, which is narrated by Orson Welles and treated with some seriously tripped-out visuals.
August Programmers’ Picks
Writing from a still-dormant New York, there’s something especially wistful and beautiful about Solos – an animation formed from sketches of a Barcelona square. Eschewing narrative in favour of mood, the filmmaker Gabriella Marsh builds a celebration of urban life from impressionistic visuals and a sparse piano score.
This documentary was initially released by the American Museum of Natural History in New York in 2019 to contextualise the controversial statue of Teddy Roosevelt at its entrance. In the wake of the museum’s decision this June to remove the statue, it’s an intriguing glimpse into an institution’s capacity for self-assessment and course-correction.
While we hope that every film we feature shifts your perspective in some way, Zea takes a rather direct approach. Honoured at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival for its innovative macro filmmaking, the piece renders a familiar object curious and captivating. So what is this object exactly? I daren’t ruin the explosive surprise ending for you.

Mind encroaches upon the heart


When the mind encroaches upon the province of the heart, it does so by requiring assurance or conviction as a condition which must be fulfilled before there is a release of love.But love is nothing if it is not spontaneous. It cannot be a conclusion of reasoning. It is not a fruit of the spirit of bargain.If you want to be certain about the object of love before giving your love, it is only a form of calculating selfishness.

Bhagavad Gita for Awakening


Bhagavad Gita for Awakening

By Abbot George Burke (Swami Nirmalananda Giri)

Bhagavad Gita for Awakening cover

The Bhagavad Gita for Awakening: A Practical Commentary for Leading a Successful Spiritual Life

Several thousand years ago in north-central India, two people sat in a chariot in the midpoint of a great battlefield. One of them, the yogi Arjuna, knew that it would be not be long before the conflict would begin. So he asked Krishna, the Master of Yoga, what should be his attitude and perspective in this moment. And above all: What should he do?

There was no time to spare in empty words. In a brief discourse, later turned into seven hundred Sanskrit verses by the sage Vyasa, Krishna outlined to Arjuna the way to live an entire life so as to gain perfect self-knowledge and self-mastery.

The battle was ferocious and–as always with war–everyone lost. But when Vyasa wrote his epic poem, the Mahabharata, he put Krishna’s inspired words into it as a precious jewel. Instantly they were extracted, named The Song of God (Bhagavad Gita), and circulated throughout the subcontinent.

The Bhagavad Gita today

That was several thousand years ago, and today the Gita is found in every household in India and has been translated into every major language of the world. Literally billions of copies have been handwritten and printed. (A few years ago a spiritual organization in South Africa printed one million copies for free distribution!)

What is the appeal of the Gita? First of all, it is totally practical, free of any vague or abstract philosophy. During my first trip to India over forty years ago, I heard about a yogi who lived in a small houseboat on the Ganges river in the holy city of Benares (Varanasi). He never spoke or wrote; yet every day for many years people came to him for advice. How did he manage? He had a copy of the Bhagavad Gita, and after he was told the problem or question he would open the book and point to a portion. And the inquirer would have a perfect and complete solution to the trouble.

My own spiritual awakening began by kicking me out of the nest of comfortable religion into a vast world of realities I had no idea how to cope with. I floundered around in the sea of my new horizons until one day I bought a paperback edition of the Bhagavad Gita. I did not read it, I inhaled it. I was not reading the words of a long-dead teacher: my own Self was talking to me in the pages of that little book. Nor did I learn anything from the Gita–I remembered that which I had always known. Eternal Self spoke Eternal Truth. The Bhagavad Gita changed my life by giving me Life. Life that has never ended.

Nothing has ever arisen in my life, internal or external, that the Gita has not made clear and enabled me to deal with or understand. Yet is it not dogmatic. At the very end Krishna says to Arjuna: “Now I have taught you that wisdom which is the secret of secrets. Ponder it carefully. Then act as you think best.” No threats, no promises, no coercion. It is all in the reader’s hands. Even better: the Bhagavad Gita tells us that we can attain a Knowing beyond even what it tells us. And it shows us the way.

A Practical Suggestion

Before beginning this commentary, I would like to point out that reading any English-only translation of the Gita, however good, will often only be skimming the surface. This is because of the many meanings of Sanskrit words–meanings that were in the mind of Vyasa and used for that very reason. In the West we have the idea that spiritual texts have but one meaning. That is a mistaken assumption in many instances, and in relation to nearly all spiritual texts in Sanskrit, for they are intended to have multi-level messages and subtle nuances. Words which carry several relevant ideas are ideal for the profound wisdom of the Gita and Upanishads, particularly.

Because of this I recommend that you obtain translations of the Gita that contain the Sanskrit text with word-by-word translations as well as the usual verse form. Winthrop Sargeant’s translation is definitely the best for this, but it would be good to have one or two more. In addition you need some Sanskrit dictionaries. The best is A Concise Dictionary of Indian Philosophy by John Grimes. The Yoga-Vedanta Dictionary of Swami Sivananda is also very informative. Our own endeavor, A Brief Sanskrit Glossary, is certainly helpful, though far from the caliber of the first two books. Do not bother with the ponderous dictionaries of Monier-Williams. They are simply not worth the trouble, what to say of the expense. A search on the Internet may also uncover some worthwhile dictionaries, but be cautious. They are often posted there by rabid sectarians who distort the definitions or even omit words to bolster their personal philosophy–which by their very dishonesty is proven to be false and inauthentic.

It is my hope that you who read these essays will be looking at other translations of the Gita–for it is impossible to produce a definitive translation of a text written in such a complex language as Sanskrit. I always check at least four translations when looking into the meaning of a verse: those of Swamis Prabhavananda, Swarupananda, and Sivananda, and that of Winthrop Sargeant. I sometimes consult those of Sri Aurobindo, Gandhi, and William Judge, as well.

भागवत गीता भाग १ सारांश / निष्कर्ष :- संशय विषाद योग

गीता क्षेत्र – क्षेत्रज्ञ के युद्ध का निरूपण है। यह ईश्वररिय विभूतियों से संपन्न भगवत स्वरुप को दिखाने वाला गायन है। यह गायन जिस क्षेत्र में होता है वह युद्ध क्षेत्र शरीर है। जिसमें दो प्रवृतियां हैं धर्मक्षेत्र और कुरुक्षेत्र, उन सेनाओं का स्वरुप और उनमें बल का आधार बताया। शंख ध्वनि से उनके पराक्रम की जानकारी मिली। तदंतर जिस सेना से लड़ना है उनका निरीक्षण हुआ जिसकी गणना 18 अक्षरिय अथात् लगभग साढॆ ६ अरब कही जाती है। किंतु वस्तुतः वे अनंत है।

प्रकृति के दृष्टिकोण २ है। एक स्टोन मुखी प्रवृत्ति देविय संपत और दूसरी बहिर्मुखी प्रवृत्ति आसुरी संपत दोनों प्रवृत्ति ही है। एक ईष्ट ओर सम्मुख करती है। परम धर्म परमात्मा की ओर ले जाती है और दूसरी प्रकृति में विश्वास दिलाती है पहली देवीय संपत को साधकर आसुरी संपत का अंत किया जाता है। फिर शाश्वत पराव्रहम के दर्शन और उसमें स्थिति के साथ अव्यक्त शेष हो जाती है, युद्ध का परिणाम निकल आता है।

अर्जुन को सैन्य निरीक्षण में अपना परिवार ही दिखाई पड़ता है। जिसे मारना है जहां तक संबंध है उतना ही जगत है। अनुराग के प्रथम चरण में परिवारिक मोह बाधक बनता है। साधक जब देखता है कि मधुर संबंधों में इतना विच्छेद हो जाएगा जैसे वे थे ही नही। तो उसे घबराहट होने लगती है स्वजना शक्ति को मरने में उसे अक्लियान दिखाई देने लगता है। वह अप्रचलित रूढ़ियों में अपना कल्याण ढूंढने लगता है जैसा अर्जुन ने किया उसने कहा कुलधर्म ही सनातन धर्म है। इस युद्ध से सनातन धर्म नष्ट हो जाएगा। कुल की स्त्रियां दूषित हो जाएंगी वरुण शंकर पैदा होगा जो कूल और कुल धातियों को अनंत काल तक नरक में ले जाने के लिए ही होता है।

अर्जुन अपनी समझ से सनातन धर्म की रक्षा के लिए विकल है उस ने श्री कृष्ण से अनुरोध किया कि हम लोग समझदार होकर के भी यह महान पाप क्यों करें अथार्त श्रीकृष्ण भी पाप करने जा रहे है। पाप से बचने के लिए मैं युद्ध नहीं करूंगा  ऐसा कहता हुआ हवास अर्जुन रथ के पिछले भाग में बैठ गया। क्षेत्र – क्षेत्रज्ञ के संघर्ष से पीछे हट गया।

टीकाकारों ने इस अध्याय को अर्जुन का विष्णाज्ञय योग कहा है। अर्जुन अनुराग का प्रतीक है सनातन धर्म के लिए विकल होने वाले अनुरागी का विषाद योग का कारण बनता है यही विषाद मनु को हुआ था। संशय मैं पढकर ही मनुष्य विसाध करता है। उसे संदेह था कि वरुण शंकर पैदा होगा जो नरक में ले जायेगा। सनातन धर्म के नष्ट होने का विषाद था। अतः संशय विषाद योग का समान्य नामकर्ण इस अध्याय के लिए उपुक्त है।

I recall that in 1966 when we came to live in Raipur – I found a new Mentors. Swami Atmanand ji of Vivekanand Ashram and Swami Pranavanand ji. Swami Atmanand ji had a session Tape recorded every week on Gita Bhashya and he also presided over our Elocution and DEbate competitions and guided us young speakers.

Swami Pranavanandji’s Yoga classes would start at 530 am so I had to begin walking from my home in Budhapara at 430 after having my warm water/ cold water bath. He taught us Yoga, Dhyan (meditation) and made us sing some Bhajans too.

I was initiated into reading Gita by Dr. Deolalikar at Bhopal who was President of Maharashtra Mandal and would make me recite Chapter 2 certain Shlokas describing the “STHITPRDNYA” . He would sometimes tell me the meanings. This was from Year 1963 to 66. I won a competition of Shloka recital in the year 1965 when I had lost my father to Heart and other ailments.,

WHAT IS THE GEETA SAAR AND BHAGAVAD GITA SUMMARY?

Mystery of Bhagavad Gita in just two words!

Questioner: Why did Lord Krishna tell Arjuna to fight the battle of Mahabharata?

Dadashri: At that moment Lord Krishna was the nimit for these words. Arjuna was overcome with worldly attachment. In spite of having the duty (dharma) of a Kshatriya (those meant to perform the role of a warrior), he was overcome with attachment (moha) for his brothers and teachers who were posing as his enemies. To remove this delusion, Lord Krishna cautioned Arjuna and said, “Remove your illusion. Come to Your dharma. Be the Self. Do not become the doer or the non-doer of karma.” Lord Krishna knew ‘vyavasthit‘ and so whatever He uttered was within the laws of vyavasthit, but people do not understand this and so they question why the Lord being a Gnani would say, “Kill them all.” This instruction was applicable for that moment, but it was not an instruction for the duration of his entire life. Seeing all his relatives around him, Arjuna was overcome with attachment and affection. Lord Krishna knew that his attachment was temporary and that is why Lord Krishna spoke to him as a nimit (not the owner of the words). He told Arjuna, “You are a Kshatriya and your parmanus (prakruti‘s constitution) are such that they will not refrain from fighting. This I can see in my Gnan that your vyavasthit is thus. Therefore, do not have this false attachment (moha). In order to kill, carry out your actions without attachment. Do not have this ego of, ‘I am killing all these people.’

Lord Krishna had attained a divine inner vision (divyachakshu) from Lord Neminath and only thereafter did He give instruction in the Gita.

Lord Krishna is trying to say only two words in the Gita. People cannot understand those two words and that is why he had to create the whole Gita and just to understand the Gita, people have written commentaries. Lord Krishna, Himself says, “Only one out of a thousand people will understand the gross or overt (sthool) meaning of what I am saying in the Gita. Out of thousand such people, only one can understand the subtle (sookshma) meaning of what I am saying. Out of one thousand such people, only one can understand the subtler (sookshmatar) meaning, out of those who understand the subtler meaning, only one can understand exactly the essence (sookshmatam) of what I am saying.” (One in a trillion) Now out of three and a half billion people, who would qualify to understand what Lord Krishna was saying? Only the one, who has become Krishna himself, can say what Lord Krishna was trying to say in the two words. No one else can. Today, ‘we’ have come as Krishna so whatever work you need to get done, get it done. What did Lord Krishna mean? When a person dies, what is it that leaves when people say, “He left the body?” That, which leaves, is the ‘real thing’ and whatever is left behind is the ‘packing’. What you see with your physical eyes is the packing and the material (Soul or Atma) is within. There are varieties of packings. Some are in the form of a tree, some in the form of a donkey, some in the form of a man or a woman, etc., but the material, the content within each is the same. The packing can be in any form; it can even be rotten but a businessman is not really concerned with the outer packing, he is only concerned with the material within. Similarly, you should do the darshan of that material (the Self, the Lord) within the packing (body).

Lord Krishna says, “The ‘material’ that is within is precisely what I am; that verily is Krishna. Recognize Him and you will find what you are looking for. Otherwise, even if you sing the verses of the Gita for millions of lifetimes, you will not make any progress.” Whatever Lord Krishna is saying is conveyed in these two words: ‘packing’ and ‘material’, but these so called smart people try to find the meaning in the Gita and publish books in the process. They do not know how to extract the essence of His message and then they write volumes of commentaries and criticisms in trying to extract the essence. They do this out of their own intellectually driven agendas (swachhand) in order to gain recognition and fame. But the entire inner intent of Lord Krishna is within these two words.

When a young man is in college, his father writes him a strong letter, “You do not study and waste my money. All you do is watch movies and plays.” The son shows the letter to his friend and says, “See what my father is like? He is an animal. He is an angry man. He is an angry, greedy and a tight fisted man.” The young man says that because he does not understand what his father is saying. He cannot understand his father’s inner intent. The age difference between him and his father is only 25 years and yet he does not understand his father’s intention, so who can understand Lord Krishna’s intention after five thousand years? Who can expose Lord Krishna’s intention? Only the one who is Lord Krishna himself can do so. Who can expose Lord Mahavir‘s intent? Only Lord Mahavir himself! And the time difference between Lord Mahavir and now is 2500 years!

In the old days a son understood his father even with an age difference of twenty-five years but today one does not have the inner ability to understand what the father is really trying to convey. So how is anyone going to understand what Lord Krishna was trying to convey? There is a lot being written about the Gita but the author himself does not understand even a hair’s worth of the essence of the Gita. This is like the blind leading the blind. It is all useless. It is like that. Yet it is not wrong; it is correct but it is all comparable to a teacher of the first standard. Here with ‘us’ the talks you hear are comparable to the level of Ph.D. These commentaries on the Gita are like the teaching in the first year of school. One can only get complete information on all the scriptures from a Gnani Purush.
