Bhagavadgita recitation/discussion at home

[Guest guest]

Jai Srimannarayana!

 

My name is Murali Krishna Kalvapudi living in the Bay area.

I am participating in the satsang conducted by Shriman Vamsi

Mudumba as per HH Shri Swamiji's direction. One of the satsang

participants has asked me whether it is appropriate to

recite/discuss Bhagavadgita at a house other than a public place)?

His concern was that Mahabharatham and especially the 'war' part

of it including Bhagavadgita which came out during the war,

may create war like situations at home, if recited/discussed at a

home. He was of the view that it is appropriate to recite Gita

at a public place and a little sentimental about reciting/discussing

Gita at home.

 

I was not aware of any such restrictions and as Gita has emanated

from the Lord's divya mukha padmam itself, and being holiest of

the holy scriptures, it will not originate/promote any rajas/thamo

gunams. I replied him in the same way and promised to get back

to him with more clarifications.

 

HH Shri Swamiji has mentioned about such misconceptions for eg:

Garuda Puranam can not be recited except during 'those' days,

during His speech at Sunnyvale temple, CA. and I believe this

opinion is also one such misconception. Similarly some people

say that Sthree Parvam should not be recited at home.

 

I seek the opinions of the Learned Members of the Group and HH Shri

Swamiji's direction/guidance for the 'concerned' participant of the

satsang.

 

Thank you!

Priya Sriman Murali and Bhagavad bandhu:s!

Chanting Bhagavad Githa at home is as good as chanting

at a public place. The opinions you have expressed

are really good.All the Ithiha:sas and Pura:na:s are

always good to be chanted at any place and in any time

and also by anyone also. Few people created some sort

of sentiments and that is what made our rituals and

pu:jas complicated in somany ways. The only

restriction persists with the Ve:da as to where and

when who and in what manner it should be read. In

fact, people are not at all following those rules with

The Holy Ve:das and trying to show somany excuses to

other scriptures, for which there is absolutely no

restrictions. You can peacefully go ahead with the

satsang of Bhagavath Gita.

Jai Srimannarayana!
