Bhagwat Gita - A Strong Recommendation to read it once in your life

The Bhagwat Gita is related to heaven and it is one of the sacred text of Hindu Religion. I strongly recommend you guys to read atleast once in your life time. It contains all the real truth of life.

Hell has Three Gates - Lust,Anger & Greed.

The Gita begins with Sri Krishna explaining the essence of man is not the body but the immortal soul. On the eve of  battle Arjuna is filled with deep misgivings; he feels to kill his relatives and friends would be a great sin. But Sri Krishna replies that Arjuna should not seem himself as the doer. It is only God who gives and takes life away.

Furthermore the death of the body does not harm the soul. As the immortal quote of the Gita runs.

“The soul migrates from body to body. Weapons cannot cleave it, nor fire consume it, nor water drench it, nor wind dry it. This is the soul and this is what is meant by the existence of the soul.”   

English Writer Christopher Isherwood commented on Gita as Being "“like a University lecture delivery by God."

Some of the best quotes from Bhagwat Gita - 

 Whatever you do, make it an offering to me -- the food you eat, the sacrifices you make, the help you give, even your sufferings.

It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection. 

A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return. 

Balance of mind is called Yoga. 

Neither in this world nor elsewhere is there any happiness in store for him who always doubts. 

No one is even equal to You in the three worlds how can there be one greater than You O Being of Incomparable Glory. 

As person abandons worn-out clothes and acquires new ones, so when the body is worn out a new one is acquired by the Self, who lives within. 

Be free from fear. Be fearless and have faith in the divine. 

Those who eat too much or eat too little, who sleep too much or sleep too little, will not succeed in meditation. But those who are temperate in eating and sleeping, work and recreation, will come to the end of sorrow through meditation.       

I have become Death, the destroyer of worlds.

A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return.  

It is true that the mind is restless and difficult to control. But it can be conquered, through regular practice and detachment. Those who lack self-control will find it difficult to progress in meditation; but those who are self-controlled, striving earnestly through the right means, will attain the goal. 

As a man can drink water from any side of a full tank, so the skilled theologian can wrest from any scripture that which will serve His purpose. 

Still your mind in me, still yourself in me, and without a doubt you shall be united  with me, Lord of Love, dwelling in your heart. 

The knowledge sacrifice is superior to any material sacrifice. 

But, you are not able to see Me with your physical eye therefore, I give you the divine eye to see My majestic power and glory. 

Not by refraining from action does man attain freedom from action. Not by mere renunciation does he attain supreme perfection. 

Knowledge, the object of knowledge and the knower are the three factors, which motivate action; the senses, the work and the doer comprise the threefold basis of  action.

For certain is death for the born... And certain is birth for the dead... Therefore, over the inevitable Thou shouldst not grieve.

The last verse of Bhagavad-Gita, which is known as ‘One Verse Gita’ (Ek Sloki Gita)

Yatra yogesvarah krsno ,yatra partho dhanur-dharah 
tatra srir vijayo bhutir ,dhruva nitir matir mama || 18-78 || 

This last verse of Bhagavad-Gita from Chapter 18 (Conclusion--The Perfection of Renunciation) explains: 

Wherever there is Krishna, the master of all mystics (Yoga and wisdom), and wherever there is Arjuna (True Devotee), the supreme archer (performer of his/her duties), there will always certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality (policy).       

    
Bhagwat Gita explains the full meaning of life and death. One who starts knowing the meaning of this text will be able to start know the meaning of life.

I don't know if i was able to provide you the little bit knowledge about Bhagwat Gita but what i think the one who'll be able to read it, will be able to believe & all his doubts regarding life will go away.

All The Best.

Inspiration from "Buddha"

Siddhartha was born in Northern Central India, in 567 B.C. He was born into the Kshatriya Caste. His Birth was preceded by a series of vision seen by his mother and prophecies made to his father. The Prophecies made to his father that he wouldn't be a Maharaj but a religious leader. Many people know his story, if you don't know then let me introduce you. When he was born his father shielded his from the realities of the world. Something unusual happened at his birth was when a elephant , which touched his mother's side with a lotus, impregnated her. He grew up in Luxury and married to princess yashodhara , daughter of neighboring Maharaj. They had a son & they named him Rahulah. His father securely protected him from the anything unpleasant in the world. Siddhartha began trips to a nearby city & for the first time he saw the reality of life. Three things Siddhartha and that disturbed him was an old lady bent over with age , a man whose body was ravaged with

Adolf Hitler - the cruel teacher

Today, my blog will be all about Adolf Hitler. I was reading some books on hitler and it is difficult to know his political ideology. Because at one time you just hate him but at the other when you get to know what was he thinking you just want to accept him. No doubt he was the best leader for nazis but after reading so many books on him i realised he also knows how bad he was to jews and he was loosing humanity and he committed suicide. A little introduction of hitler's life and his famous quotes. Adolf Hitler was born on 20 April 1889 in Braunau-am-Inn on the Austrian-German border. Hitler left school at 16 with no qualifications and struggled to make a living as a painter in Vienna. This was where many of his extreme political and racial ideas originated. In 1919, he joined the fascist German Workers' Party (DAP). By 1921 he was the unquestioned leader of what was now the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP or Nazi Party). In 1923, Hitler attempted
