Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Namaste, Is there any site which allows listening to Bhagavad Gita chanting? I would prefer one with no music at all accompanying, just the shlokas chanted, for example by Swami Brahmananda of Chinmaya Mission, bangalore. Another example is like the Vishnusahasranama chanted by Smt.M.S.Subbulakshmi. I tried some sites but they come with music, making the listening a very lengthy one timewise. Warm Regards, subbu Om Tat Sat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunder - this is actually the recording by Swami Brahmanandaji of Chinmaya Mission, Bangalore - The vaishnava's have copied it (I believe it is unauthorized copy) put it in their web site in MP3 format. It is OK if after listening if they come to the Mission for advaitic explanation! I thought Subbu is looking for slokas without music. Swami Bhahmanandaji is a singer and there are lot of devotional songs by him released by Chinmaya Mission, Bangalore, and he wants to make sure the chanting is also within sRiti. Hari Om!

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Namste Sandananda-Ji: So what else is New in dvaita, who think they have an absolute right and full ownership to Swami Brahmanandaji's renderation of Gita!!? It would be interesting to see how dvaita interprets "maa gR^idhaa" from ishopanishda !" I just listened to the introduction and was amused to heard the "advaitaamR^ita darshinaii" affirmation. At least they have not deleted the statement. I request Sada-Ji to contact Chinmayananda Missission in India and confirm, whether they have permission to use the material without acknowledging the artist !? At least one good think that at least they are trying to practice advita, although they categorically refute to understand the same !?

Yaduji - PraNAms. I would refrain from accusing all dvaitin for this. I actually I thank them for popularizing the Giita sloks. I am sure swami Brahmanandaji would smile at it and leave it with that. Let us just thank them for glorifying the sanAtana dharma. Hari Om! Sadananda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who were not comforatable with the expression 'advitaamrita-varShiNIm' in that dhyana shloka ingeniously made a small change to read: sa- dvaitaamrita... There is no problem with meter. It sounds perfectly well. Thus has the shloka been adapted. Regards, subbu Om Tat Sat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you have said the meter will be perfectly get adjusted if we take the version as 'sadvaitamritavarshinim'. But the whole world which we perceive is only dvaita and every object in the world is sugesting dvaita whole world is showering the dvaita on the human beings so no purpose is served by Gita if it also showers the same dvaita. Do we require Gita to know that there is dwaita.Please comment on this doubt if it deserves any. with respects Moses Yesupadam Yours sincere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Namaste Shri Yesupadam. You have asked a very good question. I am not a dwaitin and don't hold any brief for dwaita. But, my kubuddhi can offer you an answer before Subbji turns up with a better one. Whoever tampered with that prayer can always argue that what is showered is the amrita of sad dwaita, which would mean that it is not the commonplace dvaita we see around us but the very truth or essence or the nectar hidden in it. In other words, the truth of the world. How is it? Well, we are wasting our time. Let us stop this. PraNAms.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 As you have said the meter will be perfectly get adjusted if we take the version as 'sadvaitamritavarshinim'. praNAms Hare Krishna What Sri Subbu prabhuji says is right...it ONLY in line with meter...not with siddhAnta of bhagavad gIta:-))...like it is correct to say either tattvamasi or atattvamasi ...but atattvamasi is completely out of context of chAndOgya but OK with sanskrit grammer...dvaitins being tArkika's give attention to grammer & not so particular about upanishad siddhAnta :-)) Hari Hari Hari Bol!!! bhaskar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Shree Yesupadam - PraNAms What we experince is always dvaita since there is an experiencer and experienced. Yoga shaastra involves dvaita since it involves yoking the mind to higher reality and it discusses the means to achieve that higher reality. Hence any sadhana involves dvaita. The truth is advaita. Hence is it a-dvaita. negation of duality that one experiences. Bhagavad Geeta is both yoga shaastra and Brahma vidhya - knowledge of the reality as well as how to arrive at that understanding. You do not require any scriptures to tell that I am different from each other and different from God. Those are experienced from birth. When one starts suffering as a consequence of that understanding, Gita comes to our resque - It starts declaring - asochyaan anva sochatvam...You are crying where there is no reason to cry. We do need scriptures to tell us that there is only one reality that is existent-consciousness-ananda swaruupa and you are that - therefore there is no reason for you to cry for anything. Hari Om!
