Bhagwat Geeta

New articles are being written every day, and millions of topics are available Worldwide. Still people just love reading them. The thirst for knowledge and wisdom, fiction and fun is insatiable. Once in a while we come across a book like Bhagwat Geeta that transforms us and changes the course of our life.

There are millions of books in the world, but this book of stands out far above any other book in existence. It is unfortunate that very few people are acquainted with this book because it is not a religious scripture. It is a parable, a fiction, but containing oceanic truth.

“It is an extraordinary book in the sense that you can read it and miss it completely, because the meaning of the book is not in the words of the book. The meaning of the book is running side by side in silence between the words, between the lines, in the gaps. If you are in a state of meditative ness if you are not only reading a fiction but you are encountering the whole religious experience of a great human being, absorbing it; not intellectually understanding it. The words are there but they become secondary. Something else becomes primary: the silence that those words create. The words affect your mind, and the music goes directly to your heart.”

Reading a book like the book is an art by itself. And it is a book to be read by the heart, not by the mind. It is a book not to be understood, but experienced. It is something phenomenal. Millions of people have tried to write books so that they can express the inexpressible, but they have utterly failed.

It is my Joy to state that the subject covered in this book of Total knowledge to bring complete enlightenment to everyone, simply because it is the essence of our sacred shshtras, Puranas, Vedas, and epics. The secretes of the nature are unrevealed before our eyes.

And as these secrets of nature are unrevealed before our eyes, we come to understand ourselves more fully and appreciate the benefits of living in harmony with the laws of nature. These are the laws that guide the sun and the stars, and cause the plants to grow and the flowers to bloom. This is the power we see at work within the human mind and the body, the power of the life itself. Such a study not only helps us to closer to the great mind that rules the mighty Universe all around us.

A living being, especially civilized man, has a natural desire to live forever in happiness. This is quite natural because, in his original state, the living being is both eternal and joyful. However, in the present conditioned state of life, he is engaged in a struggle against recurring birth and death. Therefore he has attained neither happiness nor immortality.

The latest desire man has developed is the desire to travel to other planets. This is also quite natural, because he has the constitutional right to go to any part of the material or spiritual skies. Such travel is very tempting and exciting because these skies are full of unlimited globes of varying qualities, and they are occupied by all types of living entities. The desire to travel there can be fulfilled by the process of yoga, which serves as a means by which one can transfer himself to whatever planet he likes--possibly to planets
Where life is not only eternal and blissful, but where there are multiple varieties of enjoyable energies. Anyone who can attain the freedom of the spiritual planets need never return to this miserable land of birth, old age, disease and death.

One can attain this stage of perfection very easily by his individual effort. He can simply follow, in his own home, the prescribed method of bhakti-yoga. This method, under proper guidance, is simple and enjoyable. An attempt is made herein to give information to the people in general, and to philosophers and religionists in particular, as to how one can transfer oneself to other planets by this process of bhakti-yoga --the highest of all yogic processes.

We are lucky to have been born on this sacred land, which once upon a time was the Land of gods. It can and should still regain its glory, if we, the devotees, the worshipers of the Vedic (Indian) Philosophy, sincerely adopt its values and attempt towards spiritual elevation of our conduct and refinement of the ambience around us. Divine beings generate love, peace, beauty, piety, bliss and prosperity wherever they go. We should also adopt and expand such qualities.


Truly we live in a thrilling age. Everyday new discoveries are being made, so that we may live without pain and unnecessary suffering. We are continuously finding new ways of conquering the dread diseases that have so long held the whole human race in bondage.

This we know from the most ancient writing of the past. And still the wonderful search goes on, for there is no quest in which man and woman are as vitally interested as in this search for vibrant, youthful living.

Man is the most superior creation of the cosmic order. Once he knows how he can improve his fortune, he will certainly take measures to improve it. He will become the architect of his destiny and not a tool of the destiny.

Human is better placed than the other species. He is not born just to enjoy pleasures. All sentiment being eaten, drinks, sleep, and possess sexual impulses. The Beast need not labor much to obtain their needs but the civilized man has to toil to get his food and shelter. By mere eating of grass the elephant grows to a huge size. A lion deprived of its meat will not consume grass. But man’s desire can never be satisfied, by enjoying pleasure. He has been gifted with various senses and he should use them properly.

The animals confronted with danger protect themselves in many ways. But man has no poisonous fangs to bite. Their hands and legs are used for constructive purposes. The organs provided for man should be utilized for creative purposes. The organs provided for man should be utilized for creating conditions for better living. No doubt that all the beings in the world have been created by a super power –God.

The millions of creature from amoebas to mighty animals do not acquire knowledge, but the human beings are a special category and they desire to equip themselves with knowledge and regulate their day-to-day activities.
