Topic 1- Sanyasaha

——————————
Krishna is forsed to explain this.
Arjuna questions:
Difference between Sanyasa and Thyaga?
And significance of word Sanyasa.

Answer by Krishna:
Word Sanyasa and Thyaga are synonymous, means renunciation.

What is meant by renunciation?
1. Primary meaning.
Mukya Sanyasa
2. Secondary renunciation.

Gawna Sanyasa

1, Mukya Sanyasa, For purified and prepared students, scriptures say it’s mukya Sanyasa. Leaving the Society and job. Dropping all the possession. Breaking all relations. This is for advanced students.

Arjuna is not advanced student. He cannot imagine separation from Bheeshma and Drona.
Do, Krishna quietly avoids this mukya Sanyasa.

2. Gowna Sanyasa, advices Arjuna, not to give up any thing like your family. It will become tamasa Sanyasa or rajasa Sanyasa. It is escapism. Be in kurukshetra and do your duty. Renounce your raga dwesha.

In society, renounce your sankalpa.
Fantasy-give up. This is Sathvic Sanyasa, for normal people.
Fight this war. Mahabharata war.
This is required for you.
Verses 1 to 12. This is first topic.

Topic 2-Athma swaroopam
—————————-

Our higher nature
—————————

Chaithanya swaroopam
——————————–
Consciousness is not a part. It is an independent entity, pervading endlessly.

Note the presence of this entity in body. Instantaneous effect of pain. Instead of claim this my body. This body is dress I am wearing. There is wear and tear in body. I will leave the body. I am consiosness. Body comes and goes, but I am am. Consiosness is aboktha and akartha. It doesn’t reap the action. This pace cannot perform actions. I am not doing anything like akasa doesn’t.

13 to 17 verses, pancha kosa are perfoming actions in my presence, but I don’t do. Light doesn’t perform action, light itself is a action.
I know the sanchitha, akami, prarabda are Karma phalam, not karma. I am neither karma phalam receiver or karma doer.
Even janmas are not determined by me. Punarjanma doesn’t exist. This is Jnanam.

Topic 3

———–

6 topics. Comprehensive.

—————————————-
1.Jnanam- Knowledge
2. Karma- action
3. Kartha- doer
4. Budhi- intelect
5. Drtithi- will power
6. Sugham- happiness

All are 3, sat, raj and tam.

General understanding:-
Contribute to spiritual growth, is satvic. Food action relationship, if contribute to spiritual growth is satvic.

What ever contribute to spiritual downfall, is tamasic. Food, dress, relationship.

Whatever contribute to , material growth but spiritual stagnation , is Rajasic. Like many cars , etc. I am richest person, no time for jaba, pooja and Gita. Rajasic lifestyle. Doesn’t go up or down spiritualy.

Atleast we are human being. Gradualy try to go to up.
All immortal pleasure are stepping down.

Topic 4

————

Central part of 18th Chapter, karma yoga, and jnana yoga.

Karma yoga= proper action+proper attitude.

Proper action,
———————–
swa darma anushtanam, duty to you, your family, religion, environment. Enjoy life, full fill duty also.

How to determine?
Varna and Ashrama. Bhramana etc and student etc.
Contribute to others, giving … Not take things from outside. We are expert in grabbing. Contribute more than consume.

Material success is when we take more and give less. This is wrong.

Proper attitude-
———————–
Whatever we do, see it as the offering to god, get it as Prasad from God.

Benifit is purification of mind.

Jnana yoga sadana

——————————–

every one has to go through.

Is 3 fold exercise,

Part1, systematic study of scriptures for a length of time under a computer teacher, Shravanam

Part2 , see if it is acceptable to my intellect Mananam.

Part3 , nidhidyasanam, like pickle mango in water. Enter every cell of my personality. Internalisation.
Assimilation for decades. I should see myself as a free person.

66th verse, giveup all dharma (deha abhmana) and choose to identify with asthma , Krishna.

Topic 5 Upasamharah
———————————–
Winding up.

Tapas, bakthi , shradha, shushrusha.

Tapas-Discipline
Bathi- Devotion
Shrada-Deep faith
Shushtusha-Desire

Teachers will get moksha, students will get swarga and moksha.

Which type of students you are Arjuna? Asks Krishna.
Arjuna says I am your best student.

Sanchaya is also fortune to overhear BHAGAVAD GITA . I like 11th chapter, Viswaroopa avathara.

Whoever invoke lord Krishna and Arjuna in him and invoke Githa in him gets all fortunes.
