PHRASES IN THE GITA - 78


यो यो याम याम तनुम्भक्तः श्रद्धयार्चितुम् इच्छति , तस्य तस्याचलाम् श्रद्धाः तामेव विदधाम्यहम्  ।  (अध्याय ७ - श्लोक २१)
யோ யோ யாம் யாம் தனும்பக்தஹ் ஶ்ரத்தயார்சிதும் இச்சதி தஸ்ய தஸ்யாசலாம் ஶ்ரத்தாஹ் தாமேவ விததாம்யஹம்  ...  (அத்யாயம் 7 - ஶ்லோகம் 21)
Yo Yo Yaam Yaam TanumBhaktah Shraddhayaarchtum Icchati Tasya Tasyaachalaam Shraddhaam Taameva Vidadhaamyaham  ...  (Chapter 7 - Shloka 21)

Meaning :  I strengthen the Faith and Devotion of anyone , who devotedly worships any Divine Form in any way ...

Oh !  All of you who preach 'Secularism' to Bharat and Hindu society ...  Please read this Phrase or Shloka in the Gita ..  Secularism is a Constitutional provision in other countries , whereas it is a firm Conviction for Hindus .  Sarva Pantha Sama Bhava or Equal Respect for every Path or Religion is a deeply ingrained attitude in Hindus since hoary past ...

Shri Krishna says , "Worship Me" .  That is because of His Love for us .   We may worship Shri Krishna in Form or we may worship the Omniscient , Omnipotent , Omnipresent Paramaatman who manifested as Shri Krishna .  Here , He says , "Worship the Divine in any Form in any way .  Worship with Devotion and Faith .  I'll  strengthen Devotion in you towards the Form you worship" .

He does not designate worshippers of other Forms as Kafirs and order them to be killed , as in Islam .  He does not command destruction of Temples of other Divine forms , forceful conversion of people of other faiths .  He has not been the cause for blood-soaked history of communities and Nations .  "You are absolutely free to worship any form as you please" , says Shri Krishna .

Neither does He name the worshippers of other Forms as 'Pagans' , ex-communicate them , execute their killings in the name of Inquisition , convert them to own faith using force, deceitful ways or allurements as done by Christians .  Shri Krishna has never been the cause of insurgency , enslavement and exploitation in countries as has been the Church .

Religious conversion is not prescribed in Hindu Dharma .  This is based on Dharma or Truthful values .  This is based on Devotion to Divinity .  If any one approaches Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa or Shri Ramana Maharshi or Kanch Paramacharya or any Sannyaasi with a plea to be converted to Hindu Faith , the response would be same .  "You continue on your own Path with devotion and you are sure to obtain His Grace" .

But , a word of caution .  This noble attitude itself might turn into a death trap for Hindu Dharma .  Islam and Christianity cause animosity and divide communities with slogans of "my God and your God' .  These are conspiracies to incite insurgency in countries and divide Nations .  These are more political than Spiritual (Religious) Paths .  The thousand years of our history is a proof in this regard .  Even today , the happenings in Pakistan , Afghanistan and our own states Kashmir , Mizoram , Nagaland etc .  testify this .  Hence , Religious conversion to Christianity and Islam must be curbed .  All those who have been already converted under influence of terror , deceit , allurements and conspiracies must be brought back to Hindu fold .  This is an urgent and essential need , if Bharat with its Uniqueness is to be saved , if Hindu Dharma is to survive , if the noble spirit of equal respect for every Faith as enshrined in this phrase of the Gita is to survive , if Secularism as prescribed in our constitution is to survive .

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
