Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I was listening to the audio file of Swamiji's class on the 3rd chapter of the Bhagavad Gita this morning. He mentioned a list of forms of sacrifice (e.g., homa, dancing, explanation, etc.) that I remember reading either on shreemaa.org or in this group. But I cannot find it right now. Can anyone help me and post the url to this page? Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Namaste, I think you are referring to Siddhantachara - please see http://www.shreemaa.org/whatwedo.htm Hope this helps. If not, please do post again with your questions. Jai Maa Nanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Yes, that is exactly the list I saw on the site. But is it the same list that Swamiji lists when describing sacrifice in his commentary of Chapter 3 of the Gita? > > He mentioned a list of > > forms of sacrifice (e.g., homa, dancing, explanation, etc.) that I > > remember reading either on shreemaa.org or in this group.

This is truly the most profound explanation of sacrifice I have ever heard. One must act. It is our nature. But it is best to act without attachment. And the most efficient way to act without attachment, or unselfishly, is to perform sacrifice, which in truth covers more than just the concept that we traditionally consider as a sacrifice. By sacrificing, or performing selfless action, we are imitating the divine, who continually acts selflessly. So we are offering sacrifice both TO the Divine, as well as AS or LIKE the Divine.
