Question

i know it from my lecture, but i don't know what this is story about, can you tell me? and is that same philosopy there?

Answer 1

Actually not bagavatgita, but Bhagavad Gita.

The Bhagavad Gita (Sanskrit: भगवद्‌ गीता - Bhagavad Gītā, "Song of God" is an ancient Sanskrit text from the Bhishma Parva of the Mahabharata. Due to differences in recensions they may be numbered in the full text of the Mahabharata as chapters 6.25 – 42 or as chapters 6.23-40. According to the recension of the Gita commented on by Shankaracharya, the number of verses is 700, but there is evidence to show that some old manuscripts had 745 verses.

Krishna, as the speaker of the Bhagavad Gita is referred to within as Bhagavan (the divine one), and the verses themselves, using the range and style of Sanskrit meter (chandas) with similes and metaphors, are written in a poetic form that is traditionally chanted; hence the title, which translates to "the Song of the Divine One". The Bhagavad Gita is revered as sacred by the majority of Hindu traditions, and especially so by followers of Krishna. In general speech it is commonly referred to as The Gita.

The content of the text is a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna taking place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra just prior to the start of a climactic war. Responding to Arjuna's confusion and moral dilemma, Krishna explains to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and Prince and elaborates on a number of different Yogic and Vedantic philosophies, with examples and analogies. This has led to the Gita often being described as a concise guide to Hindu philosophy and also as a practical, self-contained guide to life. During the discourse, Krishna reveals his identity as the Supreme Being Himself (Bhagavan), blessing Arjuna with an awe-inspiring glimpse of His divine absolute form.

The Bhagavad Gita is also called Gītopaniṣad as well as Yogupaniṣad, implying its status as an 'Upanishad'. Since it is drawn from the Mahabharata, it is a Smṛti text, however referring to it as an Upanishad is intended to give it status comparable to that of śruti, or revealed knowledge.

There is enough said already for you to get an idea of what it is.... and yet I have something special to add... special to me because this the gist of it all that I have realised....please read carefully.

The true message embedded in Gita is a three point formula for lasting happiness. First is knowledge... to know that everything is illusion, temporary and changing, so that you would neither be elated nor depressed. Second is devotion to God... the truly devoted would accept all happenings as God's will and therefore be ever contented and calm. Third is duty... that is, all actions are taken as a duty to be performed without the desire for a particular result, whereby once again there should be no elation or depression due to any type of results that may eventually come.

In my view, all the three formulae are based on how to zeroize our ego, which is the prime and root cause for disturbing our peace of mind and lasting happiness... just to reconfirm this, the Gita message ends with giving the simplest way to the goal of Happiness.... Total surrender, which really means nullification of the EGO.

Answer 4

Bagavat Gita is an eternal dialogue between the Lord and his devotee. At the time of its recitation, Shri Krishna was charioteering the battle car of Shri Arjuna, the warrior. In fact Shri Krishna is Lord incarnate in human garb. Arjuna was on the other hand, kinsman, and friend of Shri Krishna, whom he requested his personal help during the war. But Krishna accepted that with a condition that he won't wage war nor he will hold any weapon. But when Arjuna was looking at those opponents, he was able to identify only his grand father, his preceptor, his cousins and friends. Hence he was dejected at the turn of events which led to a war with his own people. Hence he requested Shri Krishna to abandon the war. He was not willing to fight a war with kinsmen for the sake of kingdom. He said he would rather beg than to kill his relatives. At this juncture, Shri Krishna started instructing Arjuna on the path to be pursued. He asked Arjuna to fight the war which has fallen on their lot. It is the duty of warrior sect to fight righteous wars. It is a great texts which contain Lord's own word. You man browse sssbpt.org to know more about it.

Answer 5

Bhagavat gita is not a story. It is something like Bible and Kuran, a sacred book of philosophies followed by Hindus.

It is given in the form of Preachings of Lord krishna to the mighty warrior Arjuna.

Ofcourse it is also giving the same morals such as love, truth, good. With that it also tells the meaning of life, the pros and cons. It dates back pretty early to christ called as vedic period.

Answer 6

The Gita, as it is called for short, epitomizes the entire Hindu Philosophy in 18 chapters, along with a code of conduct.

The core teaching of the Gita is desire less action. It enjoins a person to act without any attachment to the results of the action.

This is not to be confused with doing good, or doing unselfish deeds. Actually it is self-full (If one can coin a term) action. Hinduism believes that every action entails the accumulation of good or evil Karma (Consequence) to the doer. The doer will be reborn after death somewhere in the universe as something (not necessarily human), which has to live out the accumulated consequence of the actions in the previous birth. These will be according to whther good or bad deeds were performed.

The Gita enjoins everyone to renounce the fruits of every action so that no Karma accumulates, so that there will be no rebirth. Each one has to see oneself as a tool only.

Answer 8

The "Bhagwatgita" is not a story! It is a complete philosophy of "KARMA" means duty. Every living creature, where ever is, is doing some karma 'duty', and no duty is wrong or right on its' own but this is left on prevailing situation at the time of its' execution which decides the rightness and wrongness.

The Bhagawatgita enumerates the principles and method to adjudge the rightness and wrongness of a karma before executing it.

Answer 9

Bhagvadgitha is not a story. It describes the vedic philosophy called Vedanta. Vedanta is appendix of Vedas and also known as Upanishads.

To understand the text , you should have the experience of deep humiliation, sorrow, or duality, dilemma, or great loss of money/power/nearest relative...............! That`s why the first episode is "Arjuna vishaada yoga"

Without vishaad u will not realise the meaning of GITHA

Answer 10

Bhagwatgeeta is a book to teach ignorant and inactive people and those who have indulged themselves in the world. This book make the people realize that this world is not the end and all, and all our focus should not be confined to only this material world but we should realize our potential and work in the direction of fulfilling our purpose of life without any expectations of reward and gain.
