byrnema… one who knows Bhagavad Gita… becomes the knower of all… gains omniscience for all practical purposes… become an enlightened one!
sketerpot… Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism is one such sacred scripture which has universal appeal. Hinduism primarily is never termed a religion… it is a way of life! Bhagavad Gita is not the sole propriety of Hinduism. Anyone belonging to any religion can follow precepts of Bhagavad Gita and reach stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)!
Lord Krishna http://www.godrealized.com/lordkrishna.html … an avatar of his era (God manifest human form) who gave doctrine of Bhagavad Gita to mankind came about 1500 years earlier to Jesus Christ… about thousand years earlier to Mahavira… the 24th Tirthankara (preceptor) of Jainism! Gautama Buddha followed about 77 years later to Mahavira!
The doctrine of Bhagavad Gita contains truth and only truth. Albert Einstein… a great physicist was an open exponent of teachings of Bhagavad Gita! The prime reason why people failed to understand gist of Bhagavad Gita is… contents of Bhagavad Gita can never be understood literally… it needs reading in between the lines!
There exists life after death http://www.vijaykumar.org/life_after_death.html … afterlife as confirmed by sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism… foremost of all sacred scriptures existing on mother earth! The importance of Bhagavad Gita is confirmed from the fact that any human being till date who gained enlightenment… had to assimilate wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita!
The concept of life after death… afterlife follow from fact that primarily it is our soul… the spirit within that is the absolute master and controller of human body and not vice versa! Every soul manifests a human body to work out its karma… remove dross impurities within! In its lifetime every soul passes through a maze of 8.4 million manifestations on the whole!
After passing through 7.3 million manifestations in insect, plant and animal life… the soul http://www.godrealized.com/hinduism_atman_soul.html finally manifests human form! The moment human beings reached stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)… all is over for soul… the spirit within! Having reached stage of absolute purity… purified soul need not manifest a body further… need for soul to manifest a body further now ceased to exist!
RobinZ… putting it other way… normal human beings used their brain 1%! Albert Einstein used his brain 4%! An enlightened one… the knower of Bhagavad Gita used ones brain hundred percent! For assimilating pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita… practice of absolute celibacy http://www.godrealized.com/celibacy.html for a minimum period of 12 years in continuation is necessitated!
This 12 years practice of absolute celibacy results in full awakening of kundalini shakti http://www.godrealized.com/glossary/Kundalini-energy.html … that results in opening of Shahastra Pushpa (thousand petaled Lotus) within our brain that exists behind forehead! The moment this happens… one gained enlightenment… liberated self from cycle of birth and death forever! This is all contained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism!
If at any stage one feels offended… rather feels I am trying to teach Hinduism… I shall quit! I am only putting my perspective from Hinduism point of view… the oldest religion of world!
