academic achievements because it nourishes their concentration skills. Camps

My kids don't understand it, and whatever they do, they forget it soon

after. Why make them study the Gita?

 

This can be best answered by the following short story:

 

An old farmer and his grandchild lived on a farm. One day the grandson asked,

" Grandpa! I try to read the Bhagavad-gita just like you but I don't understand

it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good

does reading the Bhagavad-gita do? "

 

The grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, " Take

this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water. "

 

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to

the house. The grandfather asked him to try again and again. But every time, the

water leaked out before he got back to the house. Out of breath, he said, " See

Grandpa, it's useless!. "

 

" So you think it is useless? " The old man said, " Look at the basket. " The boy

looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket had been

transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.

 

" Son, that's what happens when you read the Bhagavad-gita. You might not

understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed,

inside and out. That is the work of Lord Krishna in our lives. "

 

Jai Srimannarayana!

With the mangalasasanams of HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji.
