I've been attending Swami Udit Chaitanya's gita classes which happens for around two weeks in the month of Nov in Bangalore for two years and as every year passes by,I'm just amazed by the clarity I'm receiving from our guru who is roaring out the message of Gita and how we can understand and apply the techniques that Gita has to offer. The classes happen in malayalam, but I can't stop sharing the message given to us,the audience in the hall of Indiranagar Sangeeta Sabha.
Firstly,I would like to thank all the people who have sponsered for the event and in making this knowledge available for the common crowd for absolutely zero cost. I have also been interacting with the team who has been planning and organizing this event,months in advance to make it so perfect,a huge Thank you to them. :) Lastly but not the least, I would like to thank our guru Swami Udit Chaitanya who is ever so enthusiastic to spread the knowledge that has been eluding the common crowd for many many centuries.
Nov 1st to 15th from 6pm to 8:30pm, you never know how the time flies,every time when he says I would like to conclude now as we have crossed the time limit, I would wonder,"What it's time?" this year he's taking up the 13th chapter of Bhagavat Gita.I've made no notes but would love to spill out few thoughts.
In our day to day life we use a lot of gadgets, when something is new to us and we have absolutely no idea how to use it, we look for it's user manual in order to guide us on how to use the device. Likewise we have been living with a device or more appropriate an equipment for almost all our lives and no one has ever taught us how to use it, few of us are no even aware that is there an equipment in us, any guesses?
No it's not the brain, but it's our mind. Bhagavat Gita is a user manual on how to best apply our mind in our day to day activities and how to harness our mind's potential even in our spiritual progress.
Just like how we have terms to study in various subjects in our schools and colleges likewise the Rishis of Yore as Swami Chinmayananda would like to address our great ancestors who have researched about the essence of a man and presented the world with facts in the form of Vedanta scriptures, we need to understand the terms used in order to get the message which has been handed down in the form guru parampara.
The terms we are trying to understand in the 13th chapter are Prakiti and Purusha. The cause and the effect. What do you mean by Ignorance, can it only be not aware of something or not having the complete knowledge or having the wrong knowledge about something,think again. If we say that gold is the cause and the effect is jewellery (bangles,chains etc) can we say that the cause is far away from the effect? If we say, that the clay is the cause for the earthen vessels can we say that the clay is far away or different from vessel? So if we say that god is the cause and all that we perceive through our senses, feel with our hearts and think through our minds the effect,is god far away or different from us?
I leave you with this thought,until next time,adios amigos!!
