beejakshara mantra HARE RAMA HARE KRISHNA -ISKON

 The  International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), a religious organization that also identifies itself as The Hare Krishna Movement™, belongs to the Gaudiya-Vaishnava sampradaya, a monotheistic tradition with Vedic, or Hindu, culture.
It is based on the Bhagavad-gita, the spiritual teachings spoken by Lord Krishna.  According to tradition, this sacred text is over 5,000 years old and documents the conversation between Lord Krishna and his close friend and disciple Arjuna.


ISKCON traces its spiritual lineage directly to the speaker of the sacred book, Lord Krishna, who is revered as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The text teaches that the goal of life is to develop love of God, or Krishna.   Love of God is realized through the practice of bhakti-yoga, the science of devotional service.

In the latter part of the 15^th century, a saint named Chaitanya Mahaprabhu revitalized the bhakti-yoga tradition by introducing an expansive spiritual movement that swept India. Central to this renaissance was Chaitanya’s emphasis on the chanting of Krishna’s name.  Underlying this simple practice was a profound, rational, and intellectually comprehensive theology.  Hare Krishna devotees worship Lord Chaitanya as an incarnation of Krishna for this age, and ISKCON is a vibrant continuation of the movement Chaitanya began.

beejakshara mantra How to Understand Bhaghawad Geetha - Lord Krishna

To understand the meaning of the Geetha, the reverential approach is necessary. You must take up its study in an attitude of submission and expectancy. For the Geetha is the “milk” of the Upanishads, “drawn” by the Cowherd Krishna with the help of Arjuna, “the calf,” for all the “dull-witted” to drink and draw sustenance from. 

There are some who argue that the Geetha as a sacred poem was a creation later than the Mahabharatha, of which it is a part; but whatever may be said of the composition of the Geetha, there is no doubt that the principles and teachings of the Geetha are ancient, nay, dateless. In the first three slokas of the fourth chapter, reference is made to the Lord instructing the Geetha to Surya (Sun) first and later to Manu; and to the fact that from Manu it reached Ikshvaku and thence to others in succession! So the Geetha is beyond the category of time and it cannot be assigned to a particular point of time, past or present. 

 The Geetha is a text for spiritual practitioners, for it emphasises sadhana (spiritual discipline), and spiritual attitudes, more than anything else. Every chapter lays down means and methods of reaching the goal of peace and harmony. Now sadhana is the product of keen and steady yearning for progress. The aspirant must aspire, not despair. He must persevere, not clamour for quick success. 

The Geetha is as a boat, which takes man across from the selfimposed state of bondage to the freedom which is his nature. He is taken from darkness to Light, from lustrelessness to Splendour. The Geetha ordains for man disciplines and duties which are free from the taints of Vasanas (tendencies and impulses) that tie him to the relentless wheel of birth and death. 

Really speaking, man has come into this Karmakshetra (Field of Activity) only to engage himself in activity, not in order to earn the fruit of such activity. That is the teaching of the Geetha, its fundamental lesson. The Geetha is the quintessence of the meaning of all the Vedas, Yajnas and Yagas (offerings for the glory of God). 

The outward-directed activities are mentioned in the preliminary portions of the Vedas. Activities of the mind, like the Upasanas, which are directed inward are mentioned later. Jnana Yoga too is expounded to minds thus clarified and purified.

Lord Krishna spoke the Bhagavad-Gita on the battlefield of Kuruksetra in 3102 B.C.; just prior to the commencement of the Mahabharata war. This date corresponds to 1700 years before Moses, 2500 years before Buddha, 3000 years before Jesus and 3800 years before Mohammed.

So first and foremost it should be clearly understood that the eternal knowledge of the Bhagavad-Gita has not been influenced by Buddhism, Christianity, Hebrewism or Islam; for these religions did not exist at that time and were established milleniums later.Its true and proved by Scientists.
