Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7 Gnana Vignana Yogam

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7 Gnana Vignana Yoga

As Lord Shiva narrated to Goddess Partvathi that reciting of the 7th Chapter of Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā, one would be able to get liberated from the wheel of birth and death. Performing rituals for ancestors and on that day feeding a Brahmin who regularly chants the 7th Chapter of Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā, are appropriate actions for Pithru Dosha.

 

 

In  Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā, Krishna tells Arjuna He will explain how one can know Him (God) by practicing non-attachment. Krishna imparts to Arjuna that He (God) is the fundamental essence of the universe and that his current form is just an earthly incarnation. Most people, Krishna explains, cannot understand that he is the essence in all things.

 

Lord Krishna tell Arjuna

1.       His prakriti consists of earth, water, fire, air, space, mind, intellect and the ego.

2.       His highest prikrithi is the jiva (principle of consciouness) in all beings

3.       Any living being comes out of womb is His creation

4.       Entire cosmos emerge and attains dissolution in HIM

5.       He is the cause and no one else

6.       He holds the entire cosmos together just as pearls arestrung together by a thread

7.       He is essence in water, brightness in Moon and Sun, OM in Veda, sound in ether.

8.       He is the sacred scent of the earth, light of the fire, life force in all beings

9.       He is the seed in all Beings, intellect of the intelligent and valoor of the heroic.

10.   Amongst the stong, He is the strength without devoid of desire and lust.

11.   He is the one that never transgresses dharma and laws of Nature

12.   Sathva, Rajas and Tamasa guna properties are conferred by Him

13.   Those afficted, seekers of Truth, Seekers of wealth and Realized souls (Gnaani) are the four types of people with Punya (good karma) worship Him.

14.   Gnani with single minded devotion to HIM are dear to HIM

15.   If a devotee worships with faith, HE helps him to make that faith unwavering and strong.

16.   The devotee who gets the endowed faith from Him gets his prayers answered

17.   He is the one who grants and fulfills the wishes of the devotee

18.   He knows all beings  past, present and those yet to come. No one knows Him. No one can fathom him

Chanting of 7th Chapter of Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā on this Mahalaya Amavasya Day follows.
