Guest guest Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 Chapter 4 Verse 2 EvaM paramparaa-praaptamimaM raaja'rshhayo viduH / sa kaalen eha mahataa yogo nashhTaH Para.ntapa // O Arjuna, thus handed down in regular succession, the royal sages have known this yoga. Due to a long lapse of time, this yoga has perished in this world. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 28 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji "O Arjuna, thus handed down in regular succession, the royal sages have known this yoga. Due to a long lapse of time, this yoga has perished in this world." This yoga, which had come down to the royal sages through tradition, was in vogue for a long period of time as a spiritual path. But after a long lapse of time, it disappeared from the earth. The royal sages were the first recipients of this yoga from the Sun God, who got it from the Lord. Those royal sages were all famous kings and monarchs. They ruled over their kingdoms, not as kings, but as servants of the people. They dedicated their whole lives for the service and betterment of their people. They were Karma Yogis of the highest order. Through Nishkama Karma, (selfless actions,) they attained to the status of the sages. So they were called Raja Rishis (royal sages.) These rulers were adept in worldly matters as well as spiritual knowledge. Sign up for SBC Dial - First Month Free http://sbc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
