Bhagavad Gita rendition by Sri Datta Vijayananda Theertha Swamiji

Gita Dhyana Shloka

CHAPTER 1: ARJUNA VISHADA YOGA
WRONG THINKING IS THE ONLY PROBLEM IN LIFE
Sri Krishna says "If you wish to live your life happily, just follow the flow, don't look for more, better.. If you need more, choose the ethical path. Once you enter the unethical world, you commit sins and the surprise part is you won't be able to know your mistakes. So restrict your mind from thinking of toxic ideas"

CHAPTER 2: SANKHYA YOGA
RIGHT KNOWLEDGE IS THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION TO ALL OUR PROBLEMS
Sri Krishna says "Without an intelligent brain you can't win a valid argument with a wise person. Knowledge enlightens us to choose wwhen to do what. It teaches us where to be silent & where to roar, to focus on right things and to avoid bad things."

CHAPTER 3: KARMA YOGA
SELFLESSNESS IS THE ONLY WAY TO PROGRESS
Sri Krishna says "It's about having the quality of selflessness. Don't bother what others speak. Keep doing your WORK. Don't look or think of other's wealth or education. Jealousness simply makes you weak and makes your opponent strong. You should be your lone competitor instead of anyone. Follow your passion, chase your dreams and live today better than yesterday."

CHAPTER 4: GNANA YOGA
EVERY ACT CAN BE AN ACT OF PRAYER
Sri Krishna says "Be humble, show gratitude. Dignify your life with honest purposes. Don't try to harm others both physically and mentally. Avoid bad thoughts. Do meditate. Be calm. Be kind."



CHAPTER 5: KARMA SANYASA YOGA
RENOUNCE THE EGO OF INDIVIDUALITY AND REJOICE IN THE BLISS OF INFINITY
Sri Krishna says "Simply give up all the egos you have. That 3 lettered word is the most poisonous word which destroys everything. Enjoy and celebrate your success. There is endless happiness, you just need to find them. Don't go too deep. It's all around you. Just keep your eyes open and make your generous heart permeable.."

CHAPTER 6: ATMA SANYAMA YOGA
CONNECT TO THE HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS DAILY
Sri Krishna says "Be conscious - conscious about what is happening around and beside you. Give a sharp attention to the people who are not happy with your success. They are a part of your busy life. They eat with you, play with you, enjoy and run with you, but you never know they are the wicked people who hinder your progress..."

CHAPTER 7: GNANA VIJNANA YOGA
LIVE WHAT YOU LEARN
Sri Krishna says "Don't commit similar mistakes everyday. Improve yourself by rectifying. Learning has no ending. Apply those tactics in life to be happy and prosperous...."








CHAPTER 8: AKSHARA PARABRAHMA YOGA
NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF
Sri Krishna says "Come what may, don't give up. Live with the principle that 'The game will not end until I will end it and to quit is not in my blood'. Give your atmost effort to achieve your goals, try, fall, fall better, try again and if you keep trying your day will come. It may take some time, some days, some months, years but it will come if your efforts are dynamic. Ending up late doesn't mean you are out of race. It's your track, your time, it doesn't matter when you finish. All it matters is how you started and how you overcame the struggle and how you finished. Infact your era begins here.."

CHAPTER 9: RAJA VIDHYA RAJA GUHYA YOGA
VALUE YOUR BLESSINGS
Sri Krishna says "Wake up everyday and touch gthe feet of your parents. They are living Gods. Thank God, feel grateful to be born as a human and living a lifestyle which you are. There are millions of poor, unprivileged people who cannot fill the basic needs i.e food, clothing and shelter. Don't complain with your lifestyle. Each and everything is a blessing of God..."




CHAPTER 10: VIBHUTI YOGA
SEE DIVINITY ALL AROUND
Sri Krishna says "Many don’t observe miracles, nor believe in it. If you recognize it and believe in it then it happens even more! Give a chance for miracles to happen, don’t be so steeped in the material cause and effect. I am not asking you to go to a temple daily, pray God or fast on particular days. Just accept the presence of God. If you do anything wrong you will definitely be punished. Keeping this in mind and live your life...."

CHAPTER 11: VISHWARUPA SANDARSHANA YOGA
HAVE ENOUGH, SURRENDER TO SEE THE TRUTH AS IT IS
Sri Krishna says "Remove the black cloth from your eyes while judging, decision making, examining. Here black cloth stands for that love, affection, blind beliefs, emotions, ego, anger. These don't allow you to see the real world and to face the truth. So surrender all those qualities, make your heart transparent so that anyone can see the inner beauty of your clean heart and you can see the whole world in reality....."

CHAPTER 12: BHAKTI YOGA
ABSORB YOUR MIND AND HEART IN THE SUPREME LORD
Sri Krishna says "Just surrender your heart and mind to God. Surrender completely, whole heartedly, passionately. You will feel different. The troubles and worries start to bend down. You will become mature gradually. You won't be over excited with your success and heart-broken with your failure. You will learn how to live life as it comes......"


CHAPTER 13: KSHETRA KSHETRAJNA VIBHAGA YOGA
DETACH FROM MAYA AND ATTACH TO DIVINE
Sri Krishna says "Primarily you need to understand that nothing is permanent in this changing world. So why this needless proudness? Beauty, money, position, cars, luxury.. all are illusions. If you don't know what to follow.. follow divinity. Try to find the essence of God in every single object. Love yourself. You came alone and will go alone. So give up all the MAYAs and find peace in life.."

CHAPTER 14: GUNATRAYA VIBHAGA YOGA
LIVE A LIFESTYLE THAT MATCHES YOUR VISION
Sri Krishna says "Everyone has some dream and it's obvious because it's the purpose of our life. So chase that. Live that lifestyle. Definitely learn from others but don't copy them, everybody's life is different. Impact and Influence - these words work only with good ideas. Don't just blindly follow your ideal or icon. See yourself in a position you want to and work towards it.."

CHAPTER 15: PURUSHOTTAMA-PRAPTI YOGA
GIVE PRIORITY TO DIVINITY
Sri Krishna says "Divinity, Godliness, Godship, Godhood, Deities.. These are just different synonyms. Try to see them in each and every particle, person, place and thing. Your life will be easier, things will get done by themselves even without your conscious. The best thing will come to you wrapped with love and affection.."


CHAPTER 16: DAIVASURA-SAMPAD VIBHAGA YOGA
BEING GOOD IS A REWARD IN ITSELF
Sri Krishna says "By doing good you dont do a favor to anyone. It's a return on investment with interest. Nobody should teach, request, suggest or force you to do good things. It should come naturally. Nobody will award for goodness, but it's a solace that gives you contentment. Upon self introspection you will be able to feel that happiness and peace. Don't harm anyone physically, mentally, directly or indirectly. Your soul will merge with God and achieve MUKTI - Liberation from birth cycle..."

CHAPTER 17: SHRADDHATRAYA-VIBHAGA YOGA
CHOOSING THE RIGHT OVER THE PLEASANT IS A SIGN OF POWER
Sri Krishna says "Cheating as a choice is a mistake. Be ethical, choose the right things in life, even though this path is extremely difficult its not impossible.."






CHAPTER 18: MOKSHA SANYAASA YOGA
LET US GO, LET US MOVE ON TO UNITE WITH GOD

Sri Krishna says "I am here to take care of your sins. Feel that you are mine, be connected to me and I will take care of everything. Just relax!"






Devotee's Experiences

Swami Sahaja Datta Pada, Mysore
"Swamiji, you give so many things to your devotees, how come you never give me anything?"
He looked at me and said in the most compassionate voice, "I don't give you anything, for I have kept you in my heart"

Sri Swamiji addressed me by my name, Varada Raja, greeted me, allowed me to do Namaskaram, and then began speaking with me as though He had known me for several years....

Mysore Patrike Venkatramu
"I bless all those who come to me irrespective of their caste or religion. If a Christian comes to me I tell him to believe in Jesus and continue to have faith in his own religion. Likewise, if a Muslim comes to me I stress upon the importance of being a good Muslim and follow his own faith..."

"Your friend Satyanarayana has become a Swamiji, I went and paid my respects, you also go and do the same", I did not pay any attention to this talk so she hit me on the head....
