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
