January 10 – Chapter 1; Verses 34-37

आचार्याः पितरः पुत्रास्तथैव च पितामहाः ।

मातुलाः श्वशुराः पौत्राः श्यालाः सम्बन्धिनस्तथा ॥ १-३४॥ 

āchāryāḥ pitaraḥ putrās tathaiva cha pitāmahāḥ
mātulāḥ śhwaśhurāḥ pautrāḥ śhyālāḥ sambandhinas tathā (34) 

ஆசா1ர்யா: பி1த1ர: பு1த்1ராஸ்த1தை2வ  ச1  பி1தா1மஹா: |
மாது1லா: ஶ்வஶுரா: பௌ1த்1ரா: ஶ்யாலா: ஸம்ப3ந்தி4நஸ் த1தா2 ||34||

34. Teachers, fathers, sons and also grandfathers, grandsons, fathers-in-law, maternal uncles, brothers-in-law and relatives,—

एतान्न हन्तुमिच्छामि घ्नतोऽपि मधुसूदन ।

अपि त्रैलोक्यराज्यस्य हेतोः किं नु महीकृते ॥ १-३५॥ 

etān na hantum ichchhāmi ghnato ’pi madhusūdana
api trailokya-rājyasya hetoḥ kiṁ nu mahī-kṛite (35) 

ஏதா1ந்ந ஹந்து1மிச்1சா2மி க்4நதோ1‌பி1 மது4ஸூத3ந |
அபி1 த்1ரைலோக்1யராஜ்யஸ்ய ஹேதோ1:கிம் னு மஹீக்1ருதே1 ||35||

35. These I do not wish to kill, though they kill me, O Krishna, even for the sake of dominion over the three worlds, leave alone killing them for the sake of the earth!

निहत्य धार्तराष्ट्रान्नः का प्रीतिः स्याज्जनार्दन ।

पापमेवाश्रयेदस्मान्हत्वैतानाततायिनः ॥ १-३६॥ 

nihatya dhārtarāṣhṭrān naḥ kā prītiḥ syāj janārdana
pāpam evāśhrayed asmān hatwaitān ātatāyinaḥ (36) 

நிஹத்1ய தா4ர்த1ராஷ்ட்1ராந்ந: கா1 ப்1ரீதி: ஸ்யாஜ்ஜநார்த3ந |
பா1ப1மேவாஶ்ரயேத3ஸ்மாந்ஹத்1வைதா1நாத1தா1யிந: ||36||

36. By killing these sons of Dhritarashtra, what pleasure can be ours, O Janardana? Only sin will accrue by killing these felons.

Commentary:  ‘Janārdana’ means ‘one who is worshipped by all for prosperity and salvation’ – Krishna.

He who sets fire to the house of another, who gives poison, who runs with sword to kill, who has plundered wealth and lands, and who has taken hold of the wife of somebody else is an ātatāyi.  Duryodhana had done all these evil actions.

तस्मान्नार्हा वयं हन्तुं धार्तराष्ट्रान्स्वबान्धवान् ।

स्वजनं हि कथं हत्वा सुखिनः स्याम माधव ॥ १-३७॥ 

tasmān nārhā vayaṁ hantuṁ dhārtarāṣhṭrān swa-bāndhavān
swa-janaṁ hi kathaṁ hatwā sukhinaḥ syāma mādhava (37) 

த1ஸ்மான்னார்ஹா வயம்ஹன்து1ம் தா4ர்த1ராஷ்ட்1ரான்ஸ்வபா3ன்த4வான் |
ஸ்வஜனம் ஹி க1த2ம் ஹத்1வாஸுகி2ன: ஸ்யாம மாத4வ ||37||

37. Therefore, we should not kill the sons of Dhritarashtra, our relatives; for, how can we be happy by killing our own people, O Madhava (Krishna)?

Chapter 7 Summary of Seventh Discourse By Swami Sivananda (Jnana Yoga) - The Yoga of Wisdom and Realization

  SRIMAD BHAGAVADGITA SVADHYAYA   Chapter 7 – The Yoga of Wisdom and Realization (Jnana Yoga) Summary of Seventh Discourse By Swami Sivananda   Sri Krishna tells Arjuna that the supreme Godhead has to be realized in both its transcendent and immanent aspects. The Yogi who has reached this summit has nothing more to know. This complete union with the Lord is difficult of attainment. Among many thousands of human beings, very few aspire for this union, and even among those who aspire for it, few ever reach the pinnacle of spiritual realization. The Lord has already given a clear description of the all-pervading static and infinite state of His. Now He proceeds to explain His manifestations as the universe and the power behind it. He speaks of these manifestations as His lower and higher Prakriti. The lower Prakriti is made up of the five elements, mind, ego and intellect. The higher Prakriti is the life-element which upholds the universe, activates it and caus...

But, the Yogi who strives with assiduity, purified of sins and perfected gradually through many births, reaches the highest goal.   Commentary: He gains experiences little by little in the course of many births and eventually attains to perfection.   Then he gets the knowledge of the Self and attains to the final beatitude of life.   Commentary by Swami Venkatesananda:   ‘Eternal damnation’ is a childish idea. If it is found in some scriptures, it is used only as a figure of speech – a hyperbole. It is meant to ‘frighten’ immature s...
