Krishna – Now I have to introduce Krishna ☺ It is impossible to introduce yourself to yourself! ☺ Because every moment you are changing, new new parts of you are opening, you are an unfolding continuously manifesting living experience. Please understand, anything you feel as continuous experience, only with that you associate yourself. If you are feeling something as you it is a continuous experience for you. The moment you feel this body is not a continuous happening you disassociate with this body, you associate yourself with your body only as long as you feel it a continuous happening. The moment you feel Oh this body cannot function anymore, this heart won’t vibrate anymore, this lungs won’t function anymore, the moment you feel you disassociate yourself with the body. Same way mind - the moment you feel this mind is useless it is not going to give what I want, it is not going to run around as I want, it is not going to function as I want - the moment you feel that - you will disassociate yourself with the mind. Anything which you feel is alive and going to be alive only with that you associate yourself whether it is the physical matter or the mental energies or ultimate spiritual consciousness itself only when it is a happening you associate yourself with it and a happening can never be introduced! How can you introduce a happening ? Happened - can be introduced, happening cannot be introduced! Introduction can’t be done for happening. How will I introduce krishna who is happening? You can introduce krishna if he is just happened for you. If he is happening for you, you can’t introduce. Because the very life where the happening is happening is introduction. When it is happening, your walking, talking, sitting, living everything is an introduction to what is happening in you. Just yesterday, one of our ashramite arranging this cloth asked don’t you feel little shy to wear all these things and it will look like Krishna? I said I don’t feel shy to express Krishna in my body language, why should I feel shy just to wear this dress? Because Krishna is a happening for me. He is an experience. My words, body language, actions, movements all these things are introduction to Krishna! I cannot introduce Krishna separately and I don’t want to reduce him to the word ‘happened.’ No! He is a happening! People who want to sell Krishna make him as a happened, they call him past times of krishna. No. We don’t have the word past times in the Vedic Tradition. We only have the word ‘lila.’ Means it is a happening! When he is happening, you cannot introduce him. If he has happened for you at some time, then you can introduce him. So for the next one year, in every day’s Satsang, I will introduce the greatest happening called Krishna! I will go on introducing again & again & again! The greatest happening - happened, happening, will happen in the cosmos Krishna! Even his lilas happened very difficult to introduce – how will you introduce a personality with so many hundreds of perfect dimensions? A child expressing extraordinary innocence and extraordinary powers, adult who is beyond body who does not have even idea of ordinary body. A great happening of the cosmos is functioning inside that small body but surrounded by millions of beloved Gopikas! A grown up youth, a great politician, an amazing intelligence – where to fight, where to back. Please understand, Krishna never fought always, at least we have one record from a war he ran away. That is why he is called ranchor. He escaped from a war. I don’t know whether he was sitting in Himachal Pradesh! ☺ But he is intelligent enough to jump when you need to jump, to sit and duck when you need to duck. Extraordinary political capabilities. He is the hero still influencing Bollywood! I can say he is the oldest hero still influencing modern cine field. So much has changed in the last 5,000 years in Bharat. But still one person, one hero whose name is neither forgotten, whose place is not abandoned. Still his name is remembered. Still the place where he took birth is visited. Still the place where he did Rasa Lila is worshipped. Still the river in which he took bath is revered. Still his words are read. Still he is the oldest influencing hero in Bollywood! And still anybody who takes up spiritual life in Bharat has to be influenced, inspired by Kirshna! It is a rule. Unwritten rule. Whether it is a field of spirituality, religion, management, politics, still he is there. He is here alive! Happening! Still the world’s best universities, greatest universities – oxford, Harvard all of them are using his words to teach management! What a personality! Still millions of women even men remember him as their own beloved! Still he occupies the centre stage in politics, in romance, in religion, in spirituality, in management what not! That is why I say he is a happening! You can’t call Krishna in past tense. You can’t address him in past tense. He is present. He is not even present tense – he is present because there is no tense! He is a happening! Maybe for you to understand what kind of a happening he is, to give you a opening to this happening, I will try to introduce some of the happening which happened.

The moment he took birth, he gave Viswaroopa Darshana! He showed to his parents he is the macrocosm in microcosm. He is a great happening. He landed on the planet earth with a purpose! When he started growing up, expressed an extraordinary multi dimensional functionality. Please understand it is not an easy joke to express a multi dimensional functional personality. See in your very life. Even if you spend time with ppl whom you love and who love you few hours you feel tired, you feel suffocated you want little time for yourself. here is a person who radiates so much of love and who is capable of receiving so much of love. Please understand, capacity to destroy demons is a much smaller than the capacity to receive love! I tell you I wont glorify Krishna just because he killed Kamsa or Sisupala or the Kauravas. I won’t feel that is a biggest glory of Krishna. At least I won’t accept that as the avataric mission of Krishna, the purpose of incarnation of Krishna. No. For that a different spectrum – Narasimha, Varaaha, Mascha – this level incarnations are enough. Maybe Rama. Enough. You don’t need a personality of Krishna to land on planet earth just to kill those fools – Kamsa and Sisupala. No. I tell you the purpose of Krishna incarnation is to show how to give and receive love! Just this few hundred people around me how many times I feel they have intruded into me. You don’t know how much how difficult it is to maintain the body and receive the love of millions and make them feel that I have accepted their love and still maintain your silent inner space! Just with this few hundred people it is such a difficult job. I can imagine – 16,000 women lived around Krishna! You don’t need any other proof that he is greatest incarnation than this. 16,000 women lived around him and still he was happy, still he was joyful, still he was ecstatic! ☺ And he was able to make all 16,000 feel that they are loved that all of them are given his space. He made them feel he loves them and their love is accepted. Not a joke! I tell you 100 times more difficult than killing any demon. From my experience I am telling you! ☺ As a latest happening I describe very clearly about what has happened! It is not a joke to make this many 1000s of people to feel that they are loved and their love is accepted. God!! I tell you I really feel I feel like fainting. When I remember Narasimha destroying Hiranya and Hiranyaaksha, I don’t feel something great, when I remember Rama destroying Ravana I don’t feel he has done something great. When I remember Krishna killing Kamsa and Sisupala I don’t feel really really something great – Aah It is okay! One dimension of Krishna. But when I remember this guy managed at least 16,000 women and at least a lakh men! Because even though they have not given a prominent place, there were lakhs of gopas, men who lived around him and who enjoyed his presence as a leader, as a friend as a close person to their heart! When I remember at least a lakh of men & women lived around him completely satisfied that they are loved and their love was accepted. I tell you I really feel – Aaahh! This is something extraordinary! Just the other day somebody brought a bangles for me. I was wearing for a Satsang. So in the Sarva Darshan time, some other devotee brought me some jewels. I accepted it. I was feeling so joyful. From all the way somewhere they went to shopping they remembered me and brought this jewels. So out of joy, the jewel which I was wearing, the bangle which I was wearing, I took it and gave to this new devotee. That’s all! Within 24 hours I am getting an email from this devotee who gave this bangle - how dare you gave away my bangle! I thought oh god! After you gave that, I thought it has become mine. Only now I realized you rented it to me that I can wear. I don’t have right to do anything else other than wearing it. Not only they rent the bangle and they try to possess the hand in which it is put, it is wearing. I tell you the most weird thing in this world Is love. In enmity everything is very logical clear – 1 plus 1 is 2, you do this, I will do this - clear. In anger everything is clear if you do this I will do this - over clear. In all emotions things are very clear –whether it is fear, or anger, even in lust things are very clear. What you are going to do next you know and the other person also knows. It can just go like a programming. It goes that way only, that I different ☺ so whether it is a lust or anger or fear or enmity everything is clear planned. You know what to do if this is done. You know what not to do if this is not done. But love – oldest, most weird thing! You do not know what to do and you do not know what the other person is going to do. You do not know what is expected from you. When I removed this bangle and gave all I thought is I am really making somebody extraordinarily happy. I never thought from some other angle, I am going to receive an arrow!

I know the greatest dimension of the happening called Krishna is love. The ability to receive and give love! I can say the under-current of Krishna’s life whether he killed Kauravas or did politics with Sakhuni or destroyed Sisupala or killed Kamsa or played with Gopikas or revealed this great Gita to Arjuna everything, every incident, every happening, every dimension he expressed the under current, the connecting thread of everything is love. His romance is one expression of love, his politics is another one expression of his love, his management is another one expression of his love, his anger is another one expression of his love, his anger is another one expression of his love and his enmity is another one expression of his love. I can say everything he expressed, the base material is love! He is love incarnate! He is the beloved of the universe. I can say most loved human being happened on the planet earth. Other Gods are all maybe worshipped, revered, respected. People who used to be devoted. But nobody is loved like Krishna! Even with Shiva you are devoted. You revere. You respect, you worship. But nothing like Krishna when it comes to the question of being loved. With so much of difficulty, so many people, so many people sacrificed so many things for the love of Krishna. From the Gopikas and gopas to my gopikas and gopas the amount of sacrifice people have done for his love leaving the brothers, leaving the parents, leaving the family, leaving the relatives, giving up the wealth – unimaginable sacrifices! But I tell you even if you sacrifice your very life – his one glance just in the corner of the eye – one look is worth it! Like a thread connecting all the flowers and making the lowers as garland, if I have to find the centre thread of Krishna I can say love!

The story goes to tell, say, describes even Sakhuni because of constant remembering unaware way when he relaxes used to have a deep friendly romantic connection with Krishna. When his logic is alive, active - No, I will see to it what is done to this fellow! But when his logic is tired…because always active logic is like that - two ears hitting each other without any lubrication. It is like you having teeth in the stomach and grinding – drrr parapara! Naturally the irritation, the friction. You can’t maintain that high irritation and friction for a long time. So you would like to come down from your high horse. You would like to come down from that continuous irritation, you would like to come down to that little relaxed space where your logic is not active all the time. And you just want to rest. Even to sleep you have to come down from that logic which works like a teeth in the stomach eating your own intestine. So whenever Sakhuni comes down from his self-destructive logic, he used to feel a very deep friendly romantic connection with Krishna - what a personality, wow, what a grace! But immediately the moment he becomes aware – no what are you thinking, you have to destroy him you have to fight with him. So he was again back as a Sakhuni. Understand, Krishna was able to infuse love even in his enemies heart. You can’t separate Krishna from love. You cannot remember Krishna without remembering love. I tell you if you have tasted true love you can’t remember love without remembering Krishna. He is symbol of love. He is the brand ambassador for love. Nobody, nobody is able to again sit in his place. The whole Bharatn psyche still lives Krishna. I don’t want to use the word remembers Krishna. It is too small word. Of course any word I use to remember Krishna or to introduce krishna is too small. I say still Bharatn psyche lives Krishna, not just remembers!

I think I am going to speak more on Krishna than on Gita. This next one year because he is the man who first set a trend that macrocosm can express in human body microcosm in full-fledged, full bloomed way. You can’t update Krishna. I tell you – either you imitate or you just cope up with Krishna’s expressions. You can’t update Krishna. He has not left anything undone. He has not left anything undone. He has not left anything untouched. He has not left anything unexpressed. He has not left unexplored. There are records he even went through cosmetic surgery to satisfy his Gopikas and gopas means he changed his form for the sake of the people who loved him just to make them feel, for the sake of your love I will do anything! He was even ready to change his physical body. Let me be very honest you all may be thinking I am praising Krishna, but still in my heart I am feeling I am doing injustice to krishna. I really want to apologize to him – Forgive our ignorance oh formless for remembering you in a form, forgive our ignorance Oh nameless for remembering you in some names, forgive our ignorance Oh indescribable for trying to describe you in few words, forgive our ignorance Oh space-less for keeping you in small spaces called our heart, or temples. Still I feel in my heart I am doing injustice to his glory, his greatness. I really feel some Krishna’s devotees may even sue me for defamation for describing Krishna in a low level because any description is too small. He can be described only when your eyes and tongues are overflowing with love! Eyes and tongues are the last organ to express any emotion. Please understand genitals are the 1st organ to catch any emotion and respond to any emotion. Eyes and tongues are the last organs to catch any emotion and express. So I tell you only when your eyes and tongue are caught by love, please understand I am not talking about ordinary like a lust for food, lust to see – those things can be captured by eyes and tongue also. That is different. The moment you remember the gongoora chutney, your tongues are watery. That is different. I am not talking about that. I am talking about the sensitive, pure emotions. Your tongue and eyes are the last one to catch the high sensitive emotions. Only when your tongue and eyes are overflowing with love, Krishna can be introduced to you! At some time, some part of your life, at some day, by his grace you may feel your eyes and tongue are overflowing with love, at that moment, don’t miss the chance, come back and listen to this introduction. It will be there on the Youtube. If you feel at some point in your life your eyes and tongue are overflowing with love, feeling the sweetness of love and I wanted to tell you it does not necessarily be towards Krishna. It can be towards any God or any person because your concept of Krishna is equally distant from the Krishna like your concept about your spouse. Understand, the concept you have about your spouse how much of gap you feel between Krishna and your perception of your spouse the distance is equal between your perception of Krishna and Krishna! So your perception of krishna and your perception of your spouse both are equally distant from krishna. So don’t bother your overflowing of love may not be necessarily towards your concept of Krishna. It can be towards towards anybody, any person. It may not even be necessarily diverted towards God or Guru. Anytime you feel your tongue and eyes are overflowing with love, catch it! Try to listen to this introduction again. You will have introduction to krishna done at that time!

I am speaking not only for the people who are understanding it now, in the hope in future millions will and billions will understand. The hope with which Krishna delivered Gita, in that same hope I am talking. Oh Arjunas! I am repeating! With the same hope, with the same inner space I am repeating! I am not commenting – understand. Maybe I am using a different language English, but I am repeating! I can say Gita is just introduction of Krishna! Many people think Krishna should be introduced before speaking on Gita. When they speak on Gita they first introduce Krishna. I tell you Gita itself is introduction to Krishna. Krishna is not introduction to Gita, Gita is introduction to Krishna! It is only when you understand Krishna you will understand Gita. Not otherwise. By understanding Gita don’t thin k you will understand krishna. No. By understanding Krishna, you will understand Gita.

He is too much! He is too much to be described by word. He is too much to be worshipped in a deity. He is too much to be remembered by a form, he is too much to be remembered by a name! He is perfect. Maybe I can say the word happening gives a certain idea of what Krishna is! Only a personality like him can wage a war with love! Only a personality like him can put Bheeshma in the arrow bed means his body was penetrated with thousands of arrows but after that can go and stand near him and give him liberation. Only Krishna can be sung in thousands of names after knowing this same guy has put thousands of arrows into your body! You need to know Vishnu Sahasranaama thousand names of Vishnu sung by Bheeshma after he received thousand arrows from Krishna! Here is a guy who sent thousands of arrows to kill Bheeshma, but even after that the Bheeshma is not falling, but in a very cunning way gets a transgender guy Sikhandi puts the Sikahandi in front and in a complete cunning way makes Bheeshma fall on the ground and the Bheeshma is falling waiting to die but in his lips he is singing the glory of Krishna! Vishnu Sahasranama was revealed by Bheeshma when he was lying on the death bed with thousands of arrows which was sent by Krishna’s order! See the love affair between Bheeshma and Krishna! Of course I didn’t mean in any wrong way. Fellows should not misinterpret it. Bheshma was after all celibate! Can you imagine this guy Bheeshma thousands of arrows are sent on him by his own grandson Arjuna because of Krishna’s order and even with that thousands of arrows the Bheeshma is not falling so this guy finds out somewhere the transgender Sikhandi because Bheeshma has taken a vow he will not fight with transgender. He will fight only with men. So Sikhandi comes and stands, so Bheeshma is not fighting back and Krishna is telling Arjuna to use that time and send arrows and not only that at one point when Bheeshma was about to kill Arjuna, personally breaking his vow, Krishna jumps into the war field and takes the wheel of a chariot saying – no, no it is only wheel of a chariot. It is not a weapon! Anything you use to kill others is weapon! He knows all possible 482 of the law! The first 482 file is picking up wheel of a chariot and saying this is not a weapon. But the moment the wheel got into his finger it has become the sudarshana! The finger which handles sudarshana chakra when it picks up the wheel of the chariot, naturally the wheel of the chariot also becomes sudarshana. It is a weapon! But, in 482 he escapes! He has done practically everything. What should be done legally and illegally, what can be done dharmically and adharmically – Krishna has done everything to destroy Bheeshma and that guy is lying in his death bed, waiting to die and he is singing – “Vishwam Vishnu Vashat karo Bhoota bhavya bhavath prabhuhu” his singing the glory of Krishna in thousand names in hundreds of verses because Bheeshma has the eyes to see the love of Krishna! The description says when Krishna showed Vishwaroopa to Arjuna in the field 18 crore – 18 agroni sena sainya was standing. 11 agroni belongs to Kauravas and 7 agroni belongs to Pandavas. 18 agroni sainya is standing in that 18 agroni – Drona, Bheema, Karna – all of them are there! But the story describes only Arjuna and Bheeshma was able to see Vishwaroopa of Krishna. Of course Vidura was allowed to see because he has to describe. Only a man who has a maturity to sing the glory knowing the love even while he was on death bed killed not just legally or dharmically illegally and adharmically! As per the law it is wrong. As the dharma it is wrong! Krishna has done everything possible to Bheeshma but this guy is singing the glory of Krishna in thousand names in death bed! Because he understood the love of Krishna. I tell you only when you understand the under-current love of Krishna Gita will make sense for you otherwise there are millions of fools again & again talking – whatever is said and done Krishna should not have allowed this violence to happen killing 18 crore people! All of you should know all the 18 crore was dead in the war. Only the children and women were left. Only from that the generation civilization continued. Almost all grown up men except Pandavas and few of their ministers, Krishna and few of his ministers, except this hand full of people the whole 18 crore was dead! Everybody invariably asked how can this book teach spirituality which is responsible for killing 18 crore people? The moment it took birth, it swallowed 18 crore people! You can’t, you can’t understand unless you catch the love of Krishna! It takes little time. You need to open your heart first before opening Bhagavad Gita book. Only when you heart opens you can open Bhagavad Gita. Only then you will understand it is message of love. It is song. Violence can never be taught by song. Violence can be conveyed only by command. Only love can be conveyed by song! It is not 10 commandments of Krishna! It is not Bhagavat commandments, it is Bhagavat Gita! As a commandment even if the love is taught it will lead to violence. As a song, even if the violence is sung it will lead to love. Here Krishna is singing. He is not commanding. He could have just said – Aiy! Here is 10 commandments directly from God, follow it or go to hell. No! if you do it you will have heaven, if you don’t you will have hell. Dangerous! He could have also said – aiy! It is a dharma yuddha, come on, do it. No. With the tremendous love he is convincing Arjuna, Krishna is convincing Arjuna. Oh god! Wow, when I read Gita I can understand the tremendous patience Krishna is radiating. He is really worthy of the title Jagath Guru. To be a Jathat Guru you need one important qualification – tremendous patience to repeat the same thing again & again! Tell me about it! Every time you inspire a disciple convince him about certain truth, in 2 days along with his diarrhea goes his spiritual understanding also. And you have to start again from A for apple, B for brinjal. Even then they will say no no last time when you sang A for apple, you raised only one hand, now you are raising both hand, which one is right? Then I have to describe no last time when I was singing A for apple I had one hand fractured! I could not lift it! Raising both hand is right! God! One of the important qualities you need to be a Jagath Guru is tremendous patience. Patience to teach, patience to repeat. Patience to repeat again & again & again. Till the concept or the truth you teach to a disciple becomes not just muscle memory, till it becomes bio memory. Engram is like a water, muscle memory is like a ice - water which has become frozen and solid and ice, bio memory is like a spatika the ice which has become stone. So till what you teach your disciple, becomes not just ice till it becomes spatika, you need to have a patience. Now a days in modern day anybody who has one disciple with the name Jagath call themself as Jagath Guru! It is like see he is Jagath, I am his Guru, I am Jagath Guru ☺ One of the important thing you need for a Jagath Guru - tremendous patience! I can say I had enlightenment at the age of 12. But only at age of 22 I realized my avataric mission that enlightenment has become permanent means cosmic experience become eternal. From the age of 12 to 22 it used to many time vague or fade means the bio memory will not be able to retain to be in that highest swara itself. I used to wonder what more cosmos want to teach me by making this experience fade away. What more do I need to learn, what am I lacking? Why is this going and coming, going and coming. Now I know that one lesson that I learnt in that 10 years, sorry 11 years 12 to 22 one lesson the cosmos wanted to teach me through this taking away my enlightenment and giving back through this whole game the lesson cosmos wanted me to learn or taught me through this to and fro moments or giving and taking of the enlightenment making it bright and dull, shiny and slowly settling. Through this one lesson the cosmos wanted to teach me, or the one I was supposed to learn – patience. When I learnt the lesson of patience, the enlightenment became permanent. After that it did not leave my bio memory. Tremendous patience. I think that is the way the cosmos was preparing me for my avataric mission of being a Jagath Guru. I can understand the patience of Krishna. In 700 slokas he has to describe what he said in one sloka! That’s all! It is not an easy joke. Please understand, if you are a fool it is easy for you to talk the same thing again & again. But if you are a creative being who can express through every sutra something new and some extraordinary philosophy, extraordinary truth but you are forced to talk to a dumb dull disciple who can’t go to the 2nd sutra, who can’t go to the 2nd concept and you have to talk to him 700 sutras - Oh Krishna! I tell you only Krishna can do it! Only Krishna can do! See if you are having a disciple who is resisting what you are talking, easy to break his logic. If you are having a disciple who is ready to listen to you and do what you are saying, again easy to have him as disciple, great to have him as a disciple. But if you are having a disciple who believes what you say is true but who is not capable of executing it, who is not capable of doing it, he is in depression. His muscle memory is accepting you but not bio memory. His bio memory is not capable of what you are saying. What to do? Exactly Krishna was int hat position. The position where the disciples muscle memory is accepting him but the bio memory is not accepting. Means the bio memory is not capable of doing what Krishna is saying! At those moments, a Guru needs tremendous patience and compassion! You can see the patience compassion waiting for the disciple to evolve. I can say that period is like a sweet pain like pregnancy period. You are waiting for the child to evolve with tremendous patience putting up with all the discomforts waiting to go through the suffering of delivery, waiting to go through the suffering of pregnancy and even after that pain you don’t stop with it. this is called Garbha kaala vairaagya. When you deliver a baby you will feel oh God! No more. Enough. I will not even allow this fellow to sleep in the same room. But the whole thing disappears within a month sometimes within a week also because it is a sweet pain you are ready for it.

A disciple whose muscle memory is accepting the master. See even if the muscle memory is not accepting no problem. Then different logic works. You don’t count him as disciple. You count him as a devotee like when the water flows by the paddy, a little bit of water is taken by the grass also, weeds also. so you consider him in that category, aiy I am sending water for the paddy on the way little bit of grass and little one or two weeds also will have water. It is okay. But when Arjuna’s muscle memory accepts krishna but the bio memory is not acting waging the war. Waiting for the bio memory to mature by your teachings and continuously repeating till the bio memory catches the teaching I tell you is the love of the mother who is waiting for the child to happen and ready to go through the pain of delivery with a deep patience, love and compassion! It is love of Krishna which oozed out as Gita!

When he left Radha he handed over his flute to her and said – I will not play anymore. It is only for you! No more flute in my lip. That’s all! It is a symbol of romance and it ends with you. He never entered into that poetic mood, poetic dimension of himself after he left Radha physically. I can say only during Gita, only when he delivered Gita, he again entered into the poetic romantic mood without flute he played, without flute he created a music. The music created by Krishna just by his mouth, just with the tongue without flute is Gita! Gita has multi dimensions - unabridged book of all world philosophies. A great book on devotion - stotra. A great book to guide you towards enlightenment. The great book to teach you politics, the great book to teach you management. Still the world’s biggest universities are using this book to teach management. Great book to teach everything. From religion to renunciation, meditation to management, success to sanyas everything! I tell you I am proud Hindu tradition has a book like a Gita as the main scripture of our religion! No religion can claim using their book management can be taught, no religion can claim using their religious scripture, success can be taught, no religion can claim using their book the life solutions can be taught. We can claim using our religious scripture, book of this Hindu tradition, I tell you Gita is worthy of a book representing Hindu tradition. Non-controversially it can be accepted as a single book representing Hindu tradition like how bible represent Christianity and Quran represents Islam, I can tell you non controversially Bhagavad Gita represents Hinduism, Bhagavad Gita represents the multiple dimensions of Vedic Tradition. Bhagavad Gita represents the multiple dimensions of Vedic tradition. God. It is already too late! I can go on and on and on. But as you all may be aware the Inner Awakening program is happening. So I have to stick to time. People were asking me everyday 2 hours what are you going to talk Swamiji? I said relax I am wondering how will I finish in 2 hours! Gita – my favorite subject. I tell you the first Vedantic book I read in my life is Gita and I remember and offer my gratitude to Swami Chidbhavanandaji Maharaj of Sri Ramakrishna Tapovan first Gita I read is his Tamil translation and commentary. And I tell you I was literally addicted to that book! Till late night I will read that book, fall asleep, the moment I wake up, I will read that book just next to my pillow. The moment I wake up, If I am staying in Tiruvanamalai I will go and have darshan of Arunachala from the balcony and immediately I will read that book. If I am staying outside, I will open that book after I wake up first thing have darshan of that book. I thank Swami chidbhavanandaji and his organization for creating and releasing that book for inspiring me to read Bhagavad Gita. After that hundreds of books I have read. That is different. The first book still I remember it was 18 rupee. I did not have money . I had 12 rupee , 6 rupee missing, I went to my grandmother my father’s mother, she took away 3 rupee saying I need for milk for my dog. I will give you day after tomorrow. Go. I had 12 and 3 has gone, now only 9 rupee in the hand, but the book is 18 rupee. I remember that Tiruvanamalai the Deepam festival was going on and the Tapovan has put a book shop. How you guys are putting this Galleria with my books, same way they kept book shops. I went there and told themI will give you 9 rupee and want to start reading that day itself. I will give you rest tomorrow. It was a special time and I wanted to start in that Utsavam time itself. And that volunteer was standing said don’t worry, your 9 rupee is enough. You take this book. And I very clearly saw that guy put from his pocket that 9 rupee into the galla you see he has to give the account to Tapovanam to the organization. You take this book and read. May be I was a 10 year old boy, surely less than 10-12 year old boy and he gave that book. And he told me if you don’t understand anything, come back, I will try to explain. It was such a joy!

With that same spirit, I wanted to give discount to our Bhagavad Gita book 70% discount. Our books will be sold Bhagavad Gita will be given for 30%! I know 50% discount I received made me read Gita. Now, I don’t know how many millions are going to listen to the Gita from me because of that one book which I read! That 9 rupee discount I got is responsible for lakhs and lakhs of people today receiving Bhagavad Gita from me. So let me also sow the seeds. The today book which I released it is costed us 1500. I will give you 70% discount and give it for rupees 500. It is much lower than the cost price, printing cost! It is a 1500 page book. Let it reach. Let it reach. Let the people read. I sincerely recommend till I complete the Gita satsangs, all of us will take this as a responsibility making at least one person buy that book and read. Reach out at least to one person each day this book. In some way. See if you are running a schools, keep a few copies in the library, if you are running a hotels, all the hotels, motels you are running keep one one book in the rooms – what Oklahama is fully laughing ☺ Bhanu is missing. Aiy tell Bhanu to keep in all her hotel rooms Bhagavad Gita copies. Whatever way we can lets reach out! Lets reach out and let people read Gita!

As I said already I took more time than the scheduled time but still I have not introduced Gita or Krishna. I will continue my introduction I don’t know for how many more days. But I will continue. Let us all sit for few minutes remembering the great happening Sri Krishna on the very day he happened, the very day the happening began! Let us remember him and surrender to him with the deep love & devotion and feeling connection. Let him express himself through us. Let his lila express through our lives. Let our lives become Krishna Lila. Let the kundalini energy in you all be intensely awakened. Let the love in you all open up. Let you all experience love, the energy of love. I bless you all who are sitting with us at this moment in 826 places through eNtv, in 15 places through 2 way video conferencing having Nayana Deeksha in 244 cities, 24 countries!
