Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Namaste: According to Mahbharat, Hanuman was the flag symbol of Arjuna and was sitting atop Arjuna's chariot throughout the 18 days of the Kurukshetra war. Hanuman was supposed to have written a commentary on the Gita called Paisachika Bhashyam. This is the only information available from the web space, but some member may be able to provide more information. regards, Ram Chandran advaitin, Suneail D <d.suneail@p...> wrote: >> Namaste: > > Anyone here knows anything about "Paisachika Bashyam" and how I can get a copy of it? > > > D Suneail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also the torchbearer of the Bhakti yoga spelt out elsewhere in the classic. It is no wonder, therefore, that a number of his songs reflect the many yogas expounded in the Gita. The authors must have taken enormous pains to locate the 30 kritis which have a direct bearing on the spiritual wisdom of the Gita. They have appropriately chosen Gitarthamu in Surati as the starting point. Apart from Arjuna, the only other person who personally heard the Gita from the lips of Krishna was Hanuman. According to the Puranas Hanuman was the flag symbol of Arjuna and was sitting atop Arjuna's chariot throughout the 18 days of the Kurukshetra war. Hanuman was also a musicologist who propounded the Hanuman Mata. Strangely enough, he is supposed to have written a commentary on the Gita called Paisachika Bhashyam. Tyagaraja has combined both these qualities in Hanuman and written this beautiful kriti.........." Regards, Sunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Namaste Sunderji and Ramji. Coming from our dear Hanumanji and relating to the most relied upon advaitic text, why is it titled PaishAchika? Isn't it absolutely incongruous going by the usual meaning of the word? Or, does paishAchika have other connotations that we are not aware of? Bhagwad GIta comes out as a narrative by Sanjaya. So, Sanjaya surely heard Krishna? In fact, the third person who heard Bhagwan's exposition was a question asked in a recent cultural test given to school children on the occasion of the recent GItA jayanti here. Many children wrote the name of Sanjaya and the answer, I understand, was ticked right. Yes. Hanumanji was a melodious singer. With so much bhakti surging inside, who will not be? Don't we see that our own Dr. Yesudas is at his best when he renders devotionals, be they on the Devi, the Lords of Guruvayoor or Sabarimala or Jesus Christ? Every year on his birthday, he goes without fail to Sri MUkAmbikA at Kollur to lose himself! Then, what to speak of Tyagaraja whose compositions still remain the toughest yet sweetest renditions for Indian classical aspirants all over the world! PraNAms.
