Several years ago, Mahabharata had shaken Mother Earth.
When the tree of Dharma shook
And the demon of Adharma grew enormous
The Mahabharata occurred
And it still continues.
The end of Duryodhana, Dushasana and Shakuni was not the end of Mahabharata
It was just the message, the light for the continuing Mahabharata.
Till this date it continues,
We see it everywhere,
Be it corrupt people exploiting others
Or nations at war, the Mahabharata continues.
Causes are several for this eternal clash between Dharma and Adharma
But there is one vital cause: the presence of Anarthas in our hearts
The anarthas of pride, lust, greed, anger are the pillars for this waging Mahabharata in our society.
And to add fuel to the fire,
We have meat-eating, lewd thoughts in our minds, intoxication like drinking and smoking, gambling and lot more.
O!
In today’s conditions also, we need Your guidance to end the Mahabharat both inside us and surrounding us,
We need Your mercy to end the Anarthas dwelling in our hearts.
And for this reason You spoke the Bhagavada Gita,
Bhagavada Gita – the message of peace,
Bhagavada Gita – the message which settles the waves of anarthas in our hearts
The Bhagavada Gita emanating from Your Lotus mouth stands as a weapon
To protect ourselves from today’s Duryodhana, Dushasana and Shakunis.
It stands as an impetus to make us stand faithfully on the side of Dharma
And not be dragged down by Adharma like the great warrior Karana.
We see it infront of our eyes,
What can be the most potent protection of all, other than
The song sung by the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself.
So, bow down in humility and accept the Bhagavada Gita with all reverence
Until then the Mahabharata continues…
