Bhagvad Gita
Dear
Children,
There is a difference between the Shrimad Bhagvad and the
Bhagvad Geeta.
The Shrimad Bhagvad is an ancient scripture in which is narrated the lives of
the Incarnations of God, the most
important being the lives of Sri Ram and Sri Krishna.
It also deals with the Creation of the Universe. It exudes
Knowledge and devotion. Its stories are full with moral, symbolic and practical
value.
The Bhagvad Geeta is 'The Song of God'. It is pure philosophy and is a dialogue
between Sri Krishna and His dear friend Arjuna, just before the great war of
Mahabharata was fought.
The Bhagavad Geeta is part of the great Epic 'Mahabharata'.
Do you know that it is said that if anything happens in the world,
it has its parallel in the Mahabhrata. So it teaches us which is the best way to
do our duties in the world.
Dear Children,
If I were asked what I thought the message of the Geeta was in a
sentence, I would say: "Do your best, and leave the rest".
What I mean by leaving the rest is that you must not waste your
time worrying about your results once you have put in all your efforts on to a
task.
Krishna teaches that one must face up to life's challenges and not
to be a coward and run away form ones duties and responsibilities.
With love,
Dadi Ma Nani Ma
