Yoga in the Bhagavad Gita refers to the skill of union with the ultimate reality or the Absolute. Sivananda's commentary regards the eighteen chapters of the Bhagavad Gita as having a progressive order, by which Krishna leads "Arjuna up the ladder of Yoga from one rung to another.” The influential commentator Madhusudana Sarasvati divided the Gita's eighteen chapters into three sections of six chapters each.

Chapters 1–6 = Karma yoga, the means to the final goal

Chapters 7–12 = Bhakti yoga or devotionChapters 13–18 = Jnana yoga or knowledge, the

goal itself

Page 10: Bhagavad gita for all

Karma yoga:According to Fowler, since it is impossible for living beings to avoid action all together, the Bhagavad Gita therefore offers a practical approach to liberation in the form of Karma yoga. The path of Karma yoga upholds the necessity of action. However, this action is to be undertaken without any attachment to the work or desire for results. Bhagavad Gita terms this "inaction in action and action in inaction ". The concept of such detached action is also called Nishkam Karma.With the body, with the mind, with the intellect, even merely with the senses, the Yogis perform action toward self-purification, having abandoned attachment. He who is disciplined in Yoga, having abandoned the fruit of action, attains steady peace.By desireless action; by renouncing fruits of action; by dedicating all activities to God, i.e., by surrendering oneself to Him. In order to achieve true liberation, it is important to control all mental desires and tendencies to enjoy sense pleasures. When a man dwells in his mind on the object of sense, attachment to them is produced. From attachment springs desire and from desire comes anger.From anger arises bewilderment, from bewilderment loss of memory; and from loss of memory, the destruction of intelligence and from the destruction of intelligence he perishes"

Page 11: Bhagavad gita for all

Bhakti Yoga:The introduction to chapter seven of the Bhagavad Gita explains bhakti as a mode of worship which consists of unceasing and loving remembrance of God. Faith (Śraddhā) and total surrender to a chosen God (Ishta-deva) are considered to be important aspects of bhakti. Devotion, meditation, and worship are essential. Ramakrishna believed that the essential message of the Gita could be obtained by repeating the word Gita several times, "'Gita, Gita, Gita', you begin, but then find yourself saying 'ta-Gi, ta-Gi, ta-Gi'. Tagi means one who has renounced everything for God.”And of all yogins, he who full of faith worships Me, with his inner self abiding in Me, him, I hold to be the most attuned (to me in Yoga).... those who, renouncing all actions in Me, and regarding Me as the Supreme, worship Me... For those whose thoughts have entered into Me, I am soon the deliverer from the ocean of death and transmigration, Arjuna. Keep your mind on Me alone, your intellect on Me. Thus you shall dwell in Me hereafter.He who does work for Me, he who looks upon Me as his goal, he who worships Me, free from attachment, who is free from enmity to all creatures, he goes to Me, O Pandava.

Jnana Yoga:

Jnana yoga is the path of wisdom, knowledge, and direct experience of Brahman as the ultimate reality. The path renounces both desires and actions, and is therefore depicted as being steep and very difficult in the Bhagavad Gita. This path is often associated with the non-dualistic Vedantic belief of the identity of the Ātman with the Brahman. For the followers of this path, the realisation of the identity of Ātman and Brahman is held as the key to liberation.When a sensible man ceases to see different identities due to different material bodies and he sees how beings are expanded everywhere, he attains to the Brahman conception. Those who see with eyes of knowledge the difference between the body and the knower of the body, and can also understand the process of liberation from bondage in material nature, attain to the supreme goal.

BHAGAVAD GITA

Page 23: Bhagavad gita for all

गीता सुगीता कतव्या किकमन्यैः शास्त्रकि�स्तरैः।

या स्�यं पद्मनाभस्य मुखपद्माकि�किनःसृता।।

जो अपने आप श्रीवि�ष्णु भग�ान के मुखकमल से विनकली हुई है �ह गीता अच्छी तरह कण्ठस्थ करना चाविहए | अन्य शास्त्रों के वि�स्तार से क्या लाभ? - Ved Vyas

Page 24: Bhagavad gita for all

From a clear knowledge of the Bhagavad-Gita all the goals of human existence become fulfilled. Bhagavad-Gita is the manifest quintessence of all the teachings of the Vedic scriptures.

Page 25: Bhagavad gita for all

The Bhagavad-Gita is the epitome of the Mahabharata just as ghee is the essence of milk and pollen is the essence of flowers.

Page 26: Bhagavad gita for all

The Bhagavad-Gita is a true scripture of the human race, a living creation rather than a book, with a new message for every age and a new meaning for every civilization.

Page 27: Bhagavad gita for all

I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad-gita. It was the first of books; it was as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions which exercise us.

Page 28: Bhagavad gita for all

When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad-gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day.

Page 29: Bhagavad gita for all

The Gita is a Universal Mother, She turns away nobody, Her door is wide open to any one who knocks.

Page 30: Bhagavad gita for all

Among the priceless teachings that may be found in the great Indian epic Mahabharata, there is none so rare and priceless as the Gita.

Page 31: Bhagavad gita for all

The total scientific community of the World combined can never outright discard Bhagwad Gita as it is the foremost of all sacred Scriptures... as most spiritual phenomenon do not offer proof but can be felt and experienced if logically followed to the end.

Page 32: Bhagavad gita for all

The prime reason why Albert Einstein failed to understand Gita in the earlier years of his life... every scientist in the world... rather science demands proof. In the system of God it is absolute faith that rules the roost! Devoid of absolute faith in God almighty and searching for proofs at every stage of life... most scientists' world over never come to understand Bhagavad Gita!

Page 33: Bhagavad gita for all

Spirituality can never be attained until Materialism is gone
