PHRASES IN THE GITA  - 27

भक्तोsसि में सखा चेति  .... (अध्याय ४ - श्लोक ३ )
பக்தோsஸி மே ஸகா சேதி  (அத்யாயம் 4 - ஶ்லோகம் 3)
Bhakto(a)Si Me Sakhaa Chethi ... (Chapter 4 - Shlokam 3)

Meaning :  My devotee (admirer) and My friend...(you are)

Shri Krishna says, " You are my devotee and My friend...Hence I reveal this Secretive Yog to you..." What a great gift to a friend !!  Gita was revealed to Arjuna, not to Yudhishtira or Bheema or... All the five Pandavas were admirers of Shri Krishna.. They all had very high respect for Shri Krishna. Whenever Shri Krishna visited Indraprastha, His stay always got extended.  His every departure from Indraprastha after a few days stay there was always emotional happening, beautifully described in MahaBharata.  The number of times He has come to rescue the Pandavas, especially Draupadi, from crisis speak of the intense affection He had for the family.  But, Arjuna was more special.  Friendship blended with Affection.  Gita was possibly the best Gift to friend, Arjuna  and through Arjuna to entire humanity.

Do we have a friend?  A friend whom we are devoted to and is also friendly towards us??  Being a friend on Social network is one thing, but being a friend is entirely different.  One is blessed, who has a friend.  And if he be of stature comparable to Shri Krishna, then one should not need anything else in Life.

Chapter X (19 - 42)

\ श्री भगवानुवाच - हन्त ते कथष्यामि दिव्या ह्यात्मविभूतय : । प्राधान्यत : कुरुश्रेष्ठ नास्त्यन्तो विस्तरस्य मे ॥ १९ ॥ Shri Bhagawan said:   I shall speak to Thee now, Oh best of the Kurus! of My Divine attributes, according to their prominence;   there is no end to the particulars of My manifestation. (X - 19) Arjuna asks for a detailed and complete elaboration on His manifestations.   Shri Krishna replies He will be brief in description.   Why?   ‘My manifestations are infinite’, says Shri Krishna.   Shri Krishna is in human form.   The Infinite Paramaatman has bound Himself in a finite Form.   A finite can not fully describe an Infinite.   The same Shri Krishna in the next chapter says, “See My Infinite Forms.   See as much as you wish”, when Arjuna expresses his desire to see His one Form.   Brief in words and Elaborate in Form.;. The discussion in the last shlokam continues here.   The listener’s ahankara tries to fathom the speaker.   The listener, Arj

Chapter IV (1 - 20)

\   ADHYAAY IV   GYANA KARMA SANYASA YOGAM Introduction This chapter named ‘Gnyana Karma Sanyasa Yog’ is a special one, as this is where Shri Krishna reveals the secrets of Avatara to Arjuna. We, as human have a natural weakness.  When a great thought is placed before us, instead of analysing the thought, understanding it and trying to put it into practise, almost all of us start worshipping the person who revealed the thought.  Worship of the Cross and the idols of Buddha can be quoted as examples.  One of the reasons for this may be that we deem him to be the originator of the thought.  Truths are eternal and can only be revealed and not invented.  You ask any educated person about ahimsa or non-violence.  You should not be surprised if he instantly come up with the answer, “Gandhi”.  You try to clarify that ‘almost two thousand years ago Shri Mahaveer based his life and religion solely on the principle of Ahimsa’ and ‘hundreds of years prior to that the Vedas, the Gi
