To me Bhagavadgita is synonymous with the rest of all the scriptures in the world that educate us toward self-relief and Self-Realization. The "change" that The Gita has showered on me is to decelerate my constant crave to seek the "changes" in life ... to depend on the changes less and less and to experience the changes as they pass by as would The Changeless, The Witness of all. The most inspiring verse from the Gita that is showering its grace on me abundantly is its first verse that is the Gateway for everything else: Dharmakshetre kurukshetre samavetaa yuyutsavaah | Maamakaah paaNDavaashchaiva kimakurvata sanjaya || Thank God, The Darma chose to arise amidst the Kuru-s that infest me from God knows when. The upraisal of the Darma is the ray of hope to uproot the Kuru-s eventually. Hope of uprooting the Kuru-s gives the hope to seek The KrishNa. Only the termination of the Maamakaah is the way to terminate the Kurus within. Only by nurturing the PaaNDavaah, the Dharma-s within I could ever think of eradicating the Maamakaah, the Kuru-s. Thank God, the gateway to seek Him is opened by His Grace. The Maamakaa-s are still infesting me feeding upon the desires and fears that I harbor trying their best to keep me blind toward the PaaNDavaa-s. O Maadhava! Please remove the opaqueness of my vision to release it to its natural transparency to seek You. O Muraare! Let Your Wisdom flood in to wash away all my ignorance that has coccooned me in itself; to eradicate my inertia to break open this self-delusive coccoon for once; and to liberate me from my self-created bondage in the coccoon with all polarities such as ignorance and inertia, desire and fear, etc.O KrishNa! Absorb me into You that I truly AM. Bhagavan! Break the gates of my forte of identities … flood the Bhagavadgita IN ... dissolve away all my desires and fears in the flood ... let the flood quench its appetite devouring all the tendencies that are infesting the nookes and corners of my existence ... let the tubulence of the flood too get dissolved in the ocean of bliss that is Your Abode ... let me be one with that abode of Yours ... let me be one with You in Your Abode ... in the flood of the changes amongst Your Own Images all around. Let me be ... Your Abode that You Are ... In submission to The Lord of all … Naga Narayana

Atleast recite this one sloka every day.This is used as mantra too
Dear Sadhakas, Namaste!
What a profound is the message of Vyasji! "You realize the changelessness of you"! That is THE Change!
On that note, I would say The way Gita changed my life is that I realize no such thing as "my" life, it is just LIFE!
Changes seem to appear in THAT Changelessness!
Namaskar....

When Smt. Thavidammal was casually looking after painting of " Droupathi 's removal of saree by Thuchadanana" by an artist ( using chemical paint ) in the compound wall of the temple - there was an internal call from Krishna -" An artist was making Droupathi's picture with abnoxious smell (of chemical paint ) ; you are wasting your time by looking into this drawing as Droupathi herself is 'maya' ( as she was more affectionate with Arjuna ) -please go and attend your animal keeping work as one calf is suffering / struggling with abstruction of materials in the mouth . She rushed immediately to the cattle shed and exactly found true that what Lord was telling. She relived the obstruction and fed the calf with a banana. Per my understanding, Lord always favour duty first rather than induldgence with so called Bhakthi or at the cost of duty.
Sincerely,
P.Vivekanandan

PRIOR POSTING
Dear fellow sadhakas,
Hare Krishna.
This is in response to the question of Gitaji, having an influence on my life.
This material world is full of stress and misery. The reason is people get attached to the results or fruits of their action. If we do our actions in the name of the Lord, without caring for the results, then our lives will be peaceful. This is well described in the following sloka,
"Karmany evadhikaraste,
Ma phaleshu kadacana,
Ma karma phala hetur bhur,
Ma te sango stv akarmani. "
( Gitaji 2,47)
Which means,
'You have a right to perform your duty but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Do not consider yourself the cause of the results of your actions. Do not be attached to not doing your duty. '
Selfless work gives us peace of mind in this life and also advances us spiritually.
Thank You
Hare Krishna.

Dear sadhaks,
Namaste.During my college days I took sanskrit as second language and first two chapters of geeta were prescribed for paper one.I was very much interested to read and recollect certain verses like dehinosmin ...tatha dehantara prapti ( Gita 2/13) worked on me like mantra when I lost my mother at the age of 18.I can not forget the qualities of stitha prajna described by bhagvan from Gita 2/55 to 2/72.

You may lose anger, fear, desire, attachment and ego. That is great. You are on
right lines. By losing all these, you are not going to be a living dead, you
will become a living freedom free from the shackels and bondage of this material
and desire-driven egoistic world. You will gain liberation. Your body and mind
will become free of all burdens and you will soon get instructions from God
within you on what you need to do. Do not worry. Give up this worry that you
have. You will lose nothing. You can only gain liberation and untained peace,
happiness and love. You will get what you need without even trying for it.

By reading the Gita you are realising the true value of material things. It is good that you are losing interest in worldly objects. Your reactions have mellowed. You are on the right path but your question shows that you have not reached the end of the journey. It is only the beginning. The only purpose of our existence is to unite with the Self. Till that happens you have to carry on. You have a long way to go to attain Moksha or liberation from the endless cycles of birth and death.

Sundeep Gupta you are gifted to read Bagavath Geetha. Many have book in shelf and do not read even after reminding by friends. Your previous good deeds making you so. The mind is like this:- If you look at world, you like all objects. But you look at God, by way of Geetha, Sat Sangh, Bajans Etc naturally you loose interest in objects. But if one balances mind and intellect on God, he does not care if you wear costly cloths or just a piece of Cloth. Read Geetha and understand what exactly IT says. Example: Ramaganatha Gosami disciple of Sant Samartha Ramadoss. He was walking in jungle, when Marathi Shivaji came across. Shivaji knew that he was Sant disciple. Immediately Shivaji ordered, good cloths, simhasan, a tent and food and posted 5 Jawans to take care.The message went to Sant, that his disciple was enjoying comforts where as Sant was with NO comforts. Sant went to Gosami and said, "Gosami why all this abandon and go elsewhere". Gosami just abandoned, threw all cloths and went away. Again Shivaji met and same was ordered. Gosami back in comforts. Sant Ramdoss explains, that Gosami though seemed by other that he is in comforts, Gosami is not having any attachment to anything. Gosami was just watching his body been used by Shivaji, said Samartha Ramadoos. Jada Bharath was dressed well, insense applied, garlanded before beheaded. Bharath was same before trying beheading with all that and when Maa Kali appeared and beheaded tribes setting free Bharat. NOT a small difference to any attachment. Simple example: When a mad man given comforts of Jewels, dress Etc remains the same when they are taken away from him. All comes and goes. Due to imbalance, we feel happy when something comes and feel sad when it goes. Sri Krishna in Geetha said:- What you brought to loose-------

Bhagavad Gita aims at combining divinity, spirituality and social missiion. Its greatest message is in Verse 2-3 "" Arise from this paltry faint heartedness, O scorcher of your enemies" If by reading Bhagavaad Gita more harm is being done to you, it is because you are accepting Formal equivalence and NOT Dynamic Equivalence of the teachings of Bhagavd Gita. Lokmanya Tilak. Gokhale, Gandhi ji and many others accepted the Dynamic Equivalence of Bhagavd Gita and finally succeeded in attaining Independence. Thus all later verses should make you arise and not depressed.
The idea of ephemeral world MAYA- Cosmic Delusion is that do not live only in the material world which is an illusion of comfort in this vast turbulent sea of matter, the Real world is within you so combine both. Thus message is very clear if a person lives only in the material world of senses, his/her Human Nature is vastly diffreent i.e. ungrateful, fickle, deceitful, cowardly and avercious. If a person combines both- Inner Real world and outer world of vast turbuleent sea of matter, the Human Nature changes to love, harmony, others welfare, healthy community life and selfless activity for the larger Community.
Bhagavd Gita no where says lose interest in wordly objects. Acquire worldly objects by developing positive Human Nature. Always keep verse 2-3 in mind and interpret later verses of Bhagavad Gita to ensure thatse make you arise to your selfless duty towards society.
with regards,
Prem Sabhlok
The Lord is everything and being. Be compassionately detached. See the
essence. Be good and do good. "Detachment" doesn't mean running away from
the world, rather one has to change the way of looking at the world. Lord
Krishna never advised Arjuna to run away. He told Arjuna to fight always
thinking about Him, surrendering all the actions and fruits to Him and see
Him in every thing and being.
Thank you!
humble regards

My view is very diff from most people. This is how I believe the Geeta state freedom from obsession about the result should be: You will enjoy driving your car more (not less) as you have no stress, tension, worry, etc. However when you do not have a car, you will be detached enough that you will not get frustrated, angry, or sad. You may be uncomfortable without the AC when you go by taxi, but you will not be complaining or be pissed off. Instead you may notice something else that will give you joy (maybe you will have a conversation with the taxi driver, maybe you will instead call your friend on your cell and forget the heat...)
I know that most people will not share this view. People shun material things, but material things are also made by God! Why is that Gita-followers think they should admire a flower and have in your house, but not admire beautiful Italian marble? Everything is made by God.

It is simply great that you hav esarted losing interest in things which keep
you attached to worldly pleasures, which are ephemeral. Many have been
trying for years, but not able to leave the atachment. You are on the right
path and keep practicing without worrying for the results . As you progress
further with your pursuits for achieving Higher Values of Life, everything
will become clear. Vaidyanathan
------------
Over the last year, I went through the same thing - I had a loss of zest for life, because I felt that there was no point to anything. That life was all predetermined, that we had little control and that we should exercise faith constantly and battle what ever is given to us. I also felt that I couldn't relate to people, not that I was above them, but rather that I didn't know what to say to anyone. All of this is a passing phase. You have to get through it to get past it and know there is an amazing beauty through the process and past the process. First, your cognizant you are going through it and next put your faith in god and know that you will move forward on to the next state that is meant for you. But, as often as you can do Namsmaran, the rest will fall into place. This whole process acted as a natural filter for me for what was core and essential to my life and what wasn't. Where I should NOT spend my time on a daily basis (not worrying) and where I should concentrate my efforts (helping others, gratitude, prayer). But again, go through it, know you are being led by the divine one himself, have full faith and make observations mentally or written down (whatever works). You will come to see so much in SO little time.
Hemal
------------
Is interest in worldly possessions is being subdued forcibly or naturally weakening
because of understanding the non necessity of them for life?
Does worldly pleasures and acquisitions lead to life or lead one away from life?
Is not the mind that is indulged in possession and accumulation of wealth so self centered that it is totally insensitive to everything, from the environment, to fellow beings, to the existence it self?
Is not such self-centered isolation, death itself?
Unfortunately in our commercial culture, life is measured by the money one has earned, but those who have seen the real nature of life, who have experienced the life as it is, know the beauty and joy of it, and know that there is nothing in the world, the possession of which is in any way necessary for the endless joy. The acquiring mind can never understand the beauty of natural and spontaneous renunciation which fills the life with the infinite joy and peace. Forced renunciation can be very dangerous, instead understanding the reasons why one is renouncing and understanding the mind obsessed with possessiveness and acquisition is very helpful. It comes with satsanga.
Forced renunciation in order to achieve some hypothetical end, whether it is God or Moksha or liberation is not renunciation at all, but a bargain.
It is also to be seen whether the ephermality of life has been seen or it is just a concept? If it has been observed, all the colours of it, all the pain and joy of it, then it is no longer idea, it will be reality and there will not be any question, there is no choice at all. However, if it is just an idea, unexamined and accepted from scriptures without understanding as it is, then it is still an idea, and subsequent problems.

OK i have not started reading the Gita yet but i notice that since i started pranayam (breathing) and trying to do yoga and reading sadhaka e-mails, I noticed the same thing and i think that it is a good thing and a bad thing ..because i noticed that when I'm around my friends that i really don't want to talk about what they talk about ( sports ,tv ,,, shows and girls ) It is like all this stuff is crazy ....our mind is always chasing afer something, ..... so I'll just say you started it now it is time that you finish it and don't be scared to fall out of the sky .....DeChef >>>>>>>Parker>>>>>>

Jai SHri Krishna Its really nice to know that your reactions like anger have mellowed down, by practicing the teachings of Shrimad Bhagwad Gita. Please understand that following these teachings can NEVER harm you. It will for sure help you to achieve the ultimate goal of human life. ANd prorably quite quickly in your case. About your confusion and losing int. in various objects, pl. try to analyse your self how this has happened. Answer is there itself. May be you have misinterpreted some thing.

Namaskar all,
In the Bhagavad Gita the essence (nectar) of the Vedical knowledge is written down in condensed verses (Sanskrit sutras). Many intelligent and famous persons judged this sophisticated book of the Hindu civilization on planet earth (solar system) as an excellent and brilliant product of the human mind.
Many years ago while I was suffering (sick, mental pains, loneliness, depressions, suicidal ...) and during a dark period when everybody had already forgotten me, a sannyasi visited my lonely and dirty home and brought the Bhagavad Gita for me. I did not know anything about Hinduism during that time. Nowadays, at this finite moment, I can say truly that the GITA is my holy savior and my Golden Cow, which gave me the nectar of Eternal Knowledge and youthness. My whole mind has been regenerated by the GITA, which gave me new life and happiness. That's why I decided to challenge all intelligent (humanoid) lifeforms on earth with this international contest on the Bhagavad Gita. For me, as a mortal and limited lifeform, this historical work of the Hindus on earth contains only truth and I am not able to prove that even a single sutra is not true.
My statement is:
The whole Bhagavad Gita is true (boolean value=1)....

Shri Gitaji has been in existence of at least last 5,000 years, but
this life transformed simply from the meaning of Gita Shloka 18:66,
as explained by Shraddhey Swami Ramsukhdasji, in very simple
language. The difficulty was that how to surrender to (to take
refuge in) Bhagavaanji ? Swamiji simply gave this mantra "Brother,
there is nothing to do in surrendering. That which you understand
to be yours, simply do not consider it to be yours, then you have
taken refuge in Bhagavaan, because everything is already
Bhagavaan's. We in the midst somewhere, out of misunderstanding,
consider and hold on to it as ours, is a mistake that needs to be
corrected / wiped out. This itself is surrendering to Bhagavaan.
Isn't it correct? When there is distress, then simply by listening
to this, everything will become all right. There is nothing before
or after it, in the understanding of Gitaji. Swamiji had said -
"When you target one, all stand achieved." Thus it has been
attained. Just as it happened and took place, exactly the same has
been shared.

Dear Friends
Three years back somebody offered me Yatharth Gita by Adgadanandji.
completed first reading of Gita in 4 days and since then have
read/listened to many times ,alone and in group.
I left job in January and work as consultant/advisor to persons
spiritualy inclined and willing to spread the teachings of Gita.
The most important slokas of Gitaji which had impact on me are
13/22, 5/14, 4/7&8, 5/14, 16/21 and 18/61,62 & 73.
It is important to spread Dharma to fellow being to penetrate the
veil of illusion (maya).
The only objective of writing this mail is to assure friends that
reading Gita continuously has immense benefit, beyond words.

Dear Sadhaks
I was given Gitaji (ISKON) having never heard of it before, I was 26
years old. I knew it was good so I put it on my bookself for 7 years
unopened when my children came along. I decided to read it to them
and I have since not put it down. I read 1 shloka in sanskrit a day.
It has changed me, now I tell my teenage children to read it, they
but they don't listen. Educated by in the west I now consider my
self a recovering Hindu and have concluded any person of Hindu
descent who speaks mainly in English and claims no belief in Bhagwan
are "infected" and need help just like me

It's really nice to hear of someone saying that we are all
descendants of the Almighty. If only everyone in the world will
believe this, there will be no racism/ casteism / religious
intolerance, fighting / killing between different religions/faiths
etc.
But, I guess, those who realise this feeeling/fact will always be
the ones who are open to ideas, and not the radicals, with fixed
notions about 'A' God, with minimum broad-mindedness.

I am an engineer and management specialist for livilihood. In Nov
1999 at Hyderabad in the hotel, I found a book Yatharth Gita written
by Swami Adgadnand ji on the side table of my bed. On that day, I
felt my body becoming very light and vibrating and calm. This was
first experience. My grand father (nana ji) was a sanskrit scholor
and he studied Bhagwat Gita written by Gandhi, and knew Gandhi
personally. In my family, it was considered highest duty towards all
died family members if children grow up and study Bhagwat as well
as RamChart Manas. He did not force me to study it, and said that at
proper time, you will catch fire of the Bhagwat Gita. He thought me
that Bhagwat Gita is the fire and humans are wood, and it is not
choice of the wood, but that of the fire.
I was compulsive practitioner of mathematics as all managers do, and
that limited me in undertanding non mathematical or selfless
behaviour. I was then thinking that I earn somehow and if I study
Bhagwat Gita, I may be less clever and go begging. But Bhagwat Gita
turned out to be a book of management. Mathematics is for
accountants and not leaders. It said that one should worship Him by
work, and do it best way; not like what other pundits recommend.
Krishna 's teaching is phlosophy of life and beyond, On the side of
world, it then turned out that business improved without effort and
relatonship with others improved. More I concentrated on work and
purity of its quality, more calm, it was and more energy in my life.
First sloka was from Chapter 13
Updrishta numanta ............
Which I have referered in Gita Talk countless time.
Now I study the real world with the thoery of Bhagwat Gita. I work
effortlessly, and defenselessly, and yet have all prosperity, and
relationship and love from all.
But in the end, I always remember myself, who was a cruel and hard
task master and busy in planning. And I want every one of us,
especally managers to learn Bhagwat Gita or more correctly said that
Bhagwat Gita should read/burn them in Her fire. I now want every one
to know the Bhagwat Gita just as it occured to me. I cannot see
people who are ignorant of the concept of the Bhagwat Gita, but feel
handicap in helping all of them.

Dear Sadaks,
Like Komal there are numerous people experiencing this. People who
does not happen to experiencre this will not believe.
For me: I want to buy some thing I do not get. Little later I
realize better I did not buy it. I was been disturbed by my brother
to leave the house where we were all staying together. I told My
wife that GOD is taking care just ignore my brothers words, and
never even think of it. I got a palacial house, left my job and did
business - money flowed, children got married and settled. I was
thinking that I should retire from activity at 50 - that happened.
Some one talking to me about Badrinath - tears came, next month
itself a pilgrimage took place of Badrinath, Mathura, Kasi, Puri etc
where in each temple Dharshan was special, though I knew No one but
GOD, saints blessed me. I thought I should sit in solitude and shed
tears on GOD - a house on hill top amidst nature came. Whole family
sticks to Ekadasi Vratham, kindness, pooja and listening scripts and
puranas from my library. Just a month back my family and me were to
go to Guruvayur (South Dwaraka) krishna temple, few hours before the
trip my daughter developed severe back pain, doctor said tumour on
spine - HB 8.2 count low, 3 times tested the result was same - risk
of life. I alone traveled to Sri Krishna temple, even though
doctors abused me. On returning, daughter's - HB was 10.9, tumor
reduced, minor operation done, my daughter recovered shortly.
I know my family is maya and Sri Krishna is Sat. I simply keep HIM
alone in my heart. I know that my family members are perishable .
But Bagavan has been with me through out my many lifetimes (jalmas).

Jai Shree Krishna, I just wanted to share my experience with all the
members of this group. I am a student of Biotechnology and for me it
was a totally a new subject in the 1st yr {of my college}. I read
GITAJI daily with my FATHER and MOTHER and also used to during my
examinations. During that period of my life, I slowly came to know
how to talk to GOD that is how to listen and reply to your inner
voice just because of GITAJI. I had my Biotech practical exam and
that day I was a bit nervous. I thought that GOD please give me
those experiments to perform which I know best, I was getting
nervous. I was handed my question paper and I got two of the
experiments which I had never done, I just knew the theory. I was
about to get more nervous then suddenly a voice came from inside of
me "WHY DO U WORRY WHEN I'M WITH YOU". I thought what was this and
then this sentence was repeated again and in addition "I'm with you
dont worry I'll help you in perform this experiment" I just couldn't
believe that there really was GOD helping me because it was my 1st
experience rather I should say the 1st time that I learned to
recognize GOD's voice. I don't care whether any one believes or not
but during the whole experiment i.e 5 hrs I was guided by someone
and that is GOD, literally as if somebody is standing beside me
helping me at every step. I was even complemented by my teachers
for performing the experiment well. I just want to say that GITAJI
is not just a book its a living experience, a realization. Its the
life and essentiality for the Soul. It takes us closer to the
recognition that "yes" we are the descendants of the ALMIGHTY. This
was my experience any comments are welcome.
