PHRASES IN THE GITA - 108


मन्मना भव मद्भक्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु  ...  (अध्याय ९ - श्लोक ३४)
மன்மனா பவ மத்பக்தோ மத்யாஜீ மாம் நமஸ்குரு  ...  (அத்யாயம் 9 - ஶ்லோகம் 34)
Manmanaa Bhava MadBhakto MadYajee Maam Namaskuru  ...  (Chapter 9 - Shlokam 34)

Meaning :  Fix your Mind on Me .  Direct your devotion on Me .  Perform sacrifice for Me .  Bow down before Me .

This is a formula phrase , a formula to lead "Paramaatma centered life .  Fix your Mind on Me .  Direct your devotion on Me .  Perform sacrifice for Me .  Bow down before Me .

Fix the mind on Him .  Fill the mind with thoughts on Him .  Such a mind is not disturbed by worldly experiences , nor is it lured by worldly attractions .  It remains soaked in Joy and also is a source of Joy for others around .

Remain devoted to Him .  Direct your whole devotion to Him .  Devotion only to God .  The one and only direction of devotion is Shri Paramaatman .  The one and only Object of devotion is Shri Paramaatman .  Devotion in Humans normally is scattered and multi-directional .  The king or the ruler and other Governmental Institutions which protect , the 'Boss' who is the cause and source of regular income , the doctor who strives to rid the body of ailments in the body , the actor , the musician and other artists who entertain and freshen up the mind are few of the many who may be objects of our worship and devotion .  This is the status of those who hold the world as primary .  For the one who leads 'Paramaatma - centered life and directs all his devotion to Him , the king , the boss , the doctor , the actor , other artists are all manifestations of the Divine .  There is no conflict in him in being with Him and leading a worldly life .  He is never lured by the sensual attractions and never gets trapped in the world .

Efforts , sacrifices and Havans to attain worldly pleasures , positions and powers are very common .  Performing all these for Him is a rarity .  He appears to be involved in worldly activities , but is never lost in those .

"Bow down to Me" says Shri Krishna .  This helps form a mindset which declares , "I am not a subject to anyone" .  We are a community which has continuously produced men who could dare even death .  "Be fearless to death" commands the Gita .  He who bows down to Him , holds His feet firmly , need not beg , bow down or fear any power on the earth .  No power can terrorize and force such souls .  Only such Sadhus stood firmly against the atrocious and blood-thirsty mughal rulers .

ManManaa ... Bhava MadBhaktah ... Madyaajee ...  Maam Namaskuru ...  He alone ..  Nothing other than Him ...

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
