Unlike rules-based teachings prevalent in both modern and ancient texts, Vedic teachings are renowned for not prescribing commandments or rigid “rules.” Instead, Veda offer timeless wisdom through lessons that we can interpret and apply according to our level of consciousness.One of the core Vedic teachings, The Mahabharata, contains a specific set of chapters known as the Bhagavad Gita — the Song of God. Within these chapters lies a profound teaching distilled into just five words that, if fully understood and implemented, have the power to end our suffering.In English, these words are: “Established in Being, perform action.”In this episode, Thom unpacks the meaning and transformative impact of this teaching. He also shares the technique that enables all of us to integrate this wisdom into our daily lives.If you'd like to dive deeper into the Bhagavad Gita, we invite you to take a look at Thom's Exploring the Bhagavad Gita series of courses. These engaging and lively courses examine how the ancient and profound lessons of the Bhagavad Gita can be applied to modern life.

Story of King Yayati, ancestor of Pandavas & Kauravas
El Mahabharata es mucho más que una narración épica; es una obra que aborda cuestiones éticas, filosóficas, sociales y religiosas de la cultura india. El texto es un reflejo de la transición del hinduismo védico al hinduismo clásico, y es una fuente principal de las tradiciones, mitologías y enseñanzas del dharma hindú (ley moral y ética).El núcleo de la epopeya gira en torno a la guerra de Kurukshetra, un conflicto dinástico entre dos familias reales: los Pandavas y los Kauravas, que son primos. Los Pandavas son los héroes virtuosos, mientras que los Kauravas son generalmente retratados como los antagonistas. El conflicto surge por el control del trono de Hastinapura, el reino ancestral de ambos linajes.A lo largo del texto, se exploran los deberes y dilemas morales (dharma) de los personajes involucrados. Aunque la guerra es el evento central, el Mahabharata también está lleno de relatos secundarios y episodios que abarcan historias mitológicas, leyendas de héroes y enseñanzas espirituales.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/audio-libros-master/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode, Shri Krishna takes on the role of a messenger, or Rajdoot, for the Pandavas. With the looming threat of war between the Kauravas and the Pandavas, Krishna travels to Hastinapur to offer one last chance at peace. He meets the Kaurava elders, Bhishma and Dronacharya, and King Dhritarashtra, to persuade them to avoid the devastating war. Krishna urges Duryodhana to return the rightful share of the kingdom to the Pandavas, emphasizing the futility of conflict and destruction. However, Duryodhana, blinded by ego and greed, rejects Krishna's counsel, leading to heightened tensions. This episode beautifully captures Krishna's diplomatic efforts, his wisdom, and his foresight, while foreshadowing the inevitable Kurukshetra war.

The Mahabharata war, known as the Kurukshetra War, serves as a powerful symbol of the battle between dharma (righteousness) and adharma (unrighteousness). It was necessary to restore balance and justice, as the Kauravas' greed and injustice towards the Pandavas had reached a tipping point. The war was a way to address the accumulated wrongs and bring about the triumph of good over evil, ensuring that dharma was upheld, even at a great cost. It's a reminder that sometimes, in the face of overwhelming injustice, a conflict becomes necessary to reestablish moral order.

Sep 6, 2022 #Yogananda #Gita #BhagavadGita This is the fifth in a series of inspirational talks on the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita as interpreted by Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda in God Talks With Arjuna, the great Guru's divinely inspired translation of and extensive commentary on this beloved scripture. The speaker is Swami Smaranananda Giri, a long-time sannyasi and current vice-president of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, the organization founded by Paramahansaji in 1917 to disseminate his Kriya Yoga teachings in India and neighbouring countries. Paramahansa Yogananda (author of the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi) interpreted the Bhagavad Gita with divine insight, exploring its psychological, spiritual, and metaphysical depths. He revealed the innermost essence of this majestic scripture while presenting an enlightening and deeply encouraging guide to who we are, why we were created, and our place and purpose in the vast cosmic scheme of things. In the previous four talks in this series (available on YouTube), Swami Smarananandaji had introduced the book God Talks With Arjuna and elaborated on Paramahansaji's commentary on the first nine Slokas. In the fifth talk, Swamiji delves into Verse 9, describing the Kauravas enumerated therein, whom a devotee must be wary about as they represent specific principles that oppose spiritual progress. In his “how-to-live” teachings, Paramahansa Yogananda has given to people of all cultures, races, and creeds the means to free themselves from physical, mental, and spiritual inharmonies — to create for themselves a life of enduring happiness and all-round success.

The Kurukshetra War (Sanskrit: कुरुक्षेत्र युद्ध ), also called the Mahabharata War, is a war described in the Mahabharata (Sanskrit: महाभारत ). The conflict arose from a dynastic succession struggle between two groups of cousins, the Kauravas and the Pandavas, for the throne of Hastinapura. The war laid the foundation for the Bhagavad Gita.The historicity of the war remains the subject of scholarly discussion. The Battle of the Ten Kings, mentioned in the Rigveda, may have formed the core of the Kurukshetra war's story. The war was greatly expanded and modified in the Mahabharata's account, which makes it dubious.[4] Attempts have been made to assign a historical date to the Kurukshetra war, with research suggesting c. 1000 BCE. However, popular tradition claims that the war marks the transition to the Kali Yuga, dating it to c. 3102 BCE.The war took place in Kurukshetra.[6] Despite only spanning eighteen days, the war takes more than a quarter of the Mahabharata. The narrative describes individual battles, deaths of various heroes on both sides, war diplomacy, meetings and discussions among characters, military formations, and weapons used. The chapters dealing with the war are considered among the oldest in the Mahabharata.Hello. My name is Bibhu Dev Misra. I am a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur and the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Kolkata, and have been working as an Information Technology consultant for more than 15 years. I spent a number of years working in the UK and the US, for various multinational organizations, including the World Bank and the United Nations, before returning back to India.I am now settled in Kolkata with my family, and working on a start-up venture. My primary passion, however, is exploring and writing about the mysteries of the past. Over the past decade and a half, I have read the works of a number of writers - Graham Hancock, Michael Cremo, Adrian Snodgrass, Joseph Campbell, Walter Cruttenden, Subhash Kak, David Frawley, to name just a few - and have been inspired by their researches to seek answers to a large body of mysterious knowledge left behind by our ancestors in the form of sacred texts, inexplicable artifacts, awe-inspiring architecture, cryptic symbols, and fantastic myths and legends. I traveled to many ancient sites around the world in order to gain a first hand experience of these remarkable places.

Empowering Gita Reflections: A podcast to guide modern lifestyle with the wisdom of Gita
Here narrator tells about the subject of expertise warriors at Kurukshetra with Pandava and Kauravas.
Drona was a royal preceptor and teacher to the Pandavas and Kauravas, and he is one of the main characters in the epic Mahabharata in Indian mythology. He was also a friend of Guru Sukracharya, who is the guru of Asuras. Dronacharya's legend as a great teacher and warrior exceeds Hindu mythology by strongly influencing Indian social traditions. Drona inspires great debates about morality and dharma in the Mahābhārata epic.He was the son of Bharadwaja, a descendant of Angirasa, and the second-in-command of the kaurava army during the 11th to 15th days of the year. He was also skilled in various military arts, such as the use of divine weapons. He was beheaded by Dhrishtadyumna while he was meditating on the battlefield. It was believed that he was the incarnation of Lord Brihaspati. He was the Guru of the Pandavas, Kauravas, Jaydrath, and Aswathama.Mostly found wearing the saffron robes of a brahmin, he has also been depicted as preferring the colour white in many representations. He is a battle hardened brahmin with scars galore rather than the soft features of other worship and wisdom oriented brahmins of his time.Sage Bharadwaja was on a river when he saw Ghritachi, and apsara whose beauty completely captivated him. He was overwhelmed with desire and ejaculated into a pot, inside which the child Drona developed and was then brought to the ashram. Dhronachrya married Kripi, the sister of Kripa who was the royal teacher of the princes of Hastinapura. Dronacharya's strained relationship with his childhood friend King Draupada, his preference for Arjuna and his strong caste baste ideals eventually led to his downfall.Read the full article at - https://mythlok.com/dronacharya/
Maddie & Tucker are back with rusty voices from their wedding reception hiatus with an exploration of fossil mythology from India and the Himalayas. They dive deep into the significance of ammonites (and their influence in Pokemon development). Nagas come into play as well, with their mythically jeweled and crested skulls. Finally, they conclude with the battlefields of the Mahabharata--the ancient Indian epic where two groups of cousins - the Pandavas and Kauravas -battle for the throne of Hastinapura in the Kurukshetra War. Fossils discovered around the Siwalik Hills may have influenced the mythology of this great epic.

A version of this essay has been published by swarajyamag.com at https://swarajyamag.com/politics/gyanvapi-discoveries-the-places-of-worship-act-and-what-nextThere has been a slew of social media posts about the court-ordered survey of the Gyanvapi premises and what was discovered on Monday, May 16th. As I write this, on Tuesday, there is a case being heard in the Supreme Court as to whether the survey should continue at all. While all this legal hair-splitting continues, I feel like the kid in the ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’, marveling at the gaslighting and make-believe. How much longer will we continue with this charade?There is not a shred of doubt about whether the Kashi Visvanatha temple was demolished by Aurangazeb. First of all, there is an order (I believe it is called a firman) signed by Aurangazeb himself that directs the destruction of the temple. Nobody has questioned the authenticity of this document.Second, there is physical evidence: the structure in question has some of its Hindu temple walls still standing, on top of which the Muslim domes have been erected. If you see the building or photographs of it, there is no question: it is a Muslim structure stuck atop a Hindu temple.Third, there is the preserved local memory of the repeated destruction and reconstruction of the shrine, and the legend that a priest sacrificed himself by jumping into the well with the Shiva Lingam so that it would escape destruction by the invaders. This story is replicated in any number of other temples when attacked, and ancient idols have indeed been found buried in several (see Meenakshi Jain, Flight of Deities and the Rebirth of Temples).Fourth, there is the well-documented habit of the Abrahamic faiths from West Asia of demolishing the sacred spaces of the Old Religions they conquered, and erecting their own shrines atop them, as the ultimate triumph of their god over the gods of the vanquished. Here are a few examples out of thousands:Chennai Mylapore Shiva temple destroyed and San Thome Basilica built on topAyodhya Ram Mandir destroyed and Babur’s mosque built on topAztec and Inca shrines in Latin America destroyed and churches built on topThe Hagia Sophia in Turkey, a pre-Abrahamic (or, ‘pagan’ [sic]) shrine captured by Christians first, Muslims next, turned into a secular space, and now turned back into a mosqueThe Wailing Wall in Israel, where the Jews’ Second Temple was destroyed and the Al Aqsa mosque built on topWhen Christians recaptured Spain from Muslims, every single mosque was (re)converted into a church, e.g. the famous mosque at CordobaSo there’s ample reason to believe this is Standard Operating Procedure, and it is done with the express intent of humiliating the conquered. Abrahamics do it to each other, too, as examples 4, 5 and 6 above show. It is a corollary to the fact that Abrahamic religions believe in world conquest.In other words, there’s nothing to be shocked at what the survey apparently unearthed. If you spent a little time thinking about it, this is precisely the behavior that would have been expected, as well as the dissimulation: the petitions that are designed to keep the evidence hidden. There is the 1991 Places of Worship Act that is quoted by all and sundry as an effort to maintain ‘communal harmony’. So far as I can tell, this Act, hurriedly put together to assuage liberal ‘guilt’ in the wake of the demolition of the Ayodhya structure in 1991, is a parallel to white liberal guilt over atrocities like slavery, apartheid, etc. However, the woke sentiment that drove the cut-paste was completely illogical. Whites did do horrendous things to blacks, and therefore should be guilt-ridden. But in India, it was Muslims who did horrendous things to Hindus, and therefore Hindus have no reason to feel guilty. If anything it should be the reverse, but based on past behavior, that is unlikely. Nevertheless, that aptly named PoW Act exists (although I hear the BJP walked out of Parliament when it was put to vote, and since they have a majority now, they could well repeal it today). Therefore the courts have to rule based on the Act which is in the statute books.There is a complication: here is a provision from the Act that says it does not apply to “any place of worship that is… an ancient or historical monument or an archaeological site” etc. So does that apply to the Gyanvapi? Presumably that is what the Justice Chandrachud bench will determine. A priori, of course, Gyanvapi is an “ancient or historical monument” and should be outside the purview of the Act.Doubtless, the courts will choose an interpretation that is in keeping with their precedents; and it is a fair bet that the SC will strike down the lower court’s order to survey the Gyanvapi. The question is: what then? Especially now that it is said (although not officially confirmed) that the original jyotirlinga has been retrieved from the well?It has long been argued that Hindus, even though they are painfully aware that tens of thousands of temples have been been destroyed, mutilated etc. as part of the above SOP, would be satisfied with the release of three of the their holiest shrines: Ayodhya Ram Mandir, Kashi Visvanatha, and Mathura Krishna Janmabhoomi. What is happening, though, is an epic dilemma suited to the Mahabharatha: will the secularist ecosystem allow that to happen, or will they encourage Muslim fundamentalists to dig in their heels? There have already been fiery proclamations by the likes of Asaduddin Owaisi to the effect that “once a mosque, always a mosque till Judgment Day”.In the Mahabharata, as you doubtless remember, the Pandavas asked first for half the kingdom. Later they were willing to settle for as few as five villages. But the obdurate Kauravas were unwilling to compromise even on that, and this led to the disastrous war. We have seen earlier how leftist pseudo-historians created problems. The Muslims were willing to relinquish the disused Babri structure, as it had no religious importance to them, whereas it was of great importance to Hindus. The leftists convinced Muslims that they could win them the case; we know what actually happened: the pulling down of the structure; riots, death and destruction.Chances are that continued intransigence on the part of the secularists/leftists and their encouragement of the most obscurantist Muslims will lead to a hardening on the part of Hindus: instead of being satisfied with the three major temples, they will start demanding that all other temples also be released from occupation and desecration.In that case, the BJP has no choice other than to overturn the Places of Worship Act. Whether they want to do that is a good question; what the consequences will be is another good question. But the fact is that the Gyanvapi discoveries will force some hard choices. 1111 words, 17 May 2022 This is a public episode.
