Nakai stn.: Seibu-Shinjuku/Oedo line. PS: According to Vedic Calendar Gita Jayanti was on 1-Dec-2006. But as every year we combine New Year & Gita Jayanti celebrations. ONLINE Spiritual Books: www.vedabase.org www.krishna.com HARE KRISHNA !!! ======================================================================== =============================================== GITA MAHATMYA: In conclusion, Bhagavad-gita is a transcendental literature which one should read very carefully. Gita-sastram idam punyam yah pathet prayatah puman: if one properly follows the instructions of Bhagavad-gita, one can be freed from all the miseries and anxieties of life. Bhaya-sokadi-varjitah. One will be freed from all fears in this life, and one's next life will be spiritual. (Gita-mahatmya 1) There is also a further advantage: gitadhyayana-silasya pranayama-parasya ca naiva santi hi papani purva-janma-kritani ca "If one reads Bhagavad-gita very sincerely and with all seriousness, then by the grace of the Lord the reactions of his past misdeeds will not act upon him." (Gita-mahatmya 2) The Lord says very loudly in the last portion of Bhagavad-gita (18.66): sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja aham tvam sarva-papebhyo mokshayishyami ma sucah "Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear." Thus the Lord takes all responsibility for one who surrenders unto Him, and He indemnifies such a person against all reactions of sins. maline mocanam pumsam jala-snanam dine dine sakrid gitamrita-snanam samsara-mala-nasanam "One may cleanse himself daily by taking a bath in water, but if one takes a bath even once in the sacred Ganges water of Bhagavad-gita, for him the dirt of material life is altogether vanquished." (Gita-mahatmya 3) gita su-gita kartavya kim anyaih sastra-vistaraih ya svayam padmanabhasya mukha-padmad vinihsrita Because Bhagavad-gita is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad-gita. In the present age, people are so absorbed in mundane activities that it is not possible for them to read all the Vedic literatures. But this is not necessary. This one book, Bhagavad-gita, will suffice, because it is the essence of all Vedic literatures and especially because it is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. (Gita-mahatmya 4) As it is said: bharatamrita-sarvasvam vishnu-vaktrad vinihsritam gita-gangodakam pitva punar janma na vidyate "One who drinks the water of the Ganges attains salvation, so what to speak of one who drinks the nectar of Bhagavad-gita? Bhagavad-gita is the essential nectar of the Mahabharata, and it is spoken by Lord Krishna Himself, the original Vishnu." (Gita-mahatmya 5) Bhagavad-gita comes from the mouth of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and the Ganges is said to emanate from the lotus feet of the Lord. Of course, there is no difference between the mouth and the feet of the Supreme Lord, but from an impartial study we can appreciate that Bhagavad-gita is even more important than the water of the Ganges. sarvopanishado gavo dogdha gopala-nandanah partho vatsah su-dhir bhokta dugdham gitamritam mahat "This Gitopanishad, Bhagavad-gita, the essence of all the Upanishads, is just like a cow, and Lord Krishna, who is famous as a cowherd boy, is milking this cow. Arjuna is just like a calf, and learned scholars and pure devotees are to drink the nectarean milk of Bhagavad-gita." (Gita-mahatmya 6) ekam sastram devaki-putra-gitam eko devo devaki-putra eva eko mantras tasya namani yani karmapy ekam tasya devasya seva (Gita-mahatmya 7) In this present day, people are very much eager to have one scripture, one God, one religion, and one occupation. Therefore, ekam sastram devaki-putra-gitam: let there be one scripture only, one common scripture for the whole world -- Bhagavad-gita. Eko devo devaki-putra eva: let there be one God for the whole world -- Sri Krishna. Eko mantras tasya namani: and one hymn, one mantra, one prayer -- the chanting of His name: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Karmapy ekam tasya devasya seva: and let there be one work only -- the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Please chant the Hare Krishna Mahamantra and make your life sublime: "Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Ram Hare Ram Ram Ram Hare Hare" There will also be COUNTDOWN-HARINAAM on 31-DEC-2006 from 10:30 PM to 12:30 AM around Shinjuku stn.
