133. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 12 Verse 1-2 | Swami Sarvapriyananda

Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verse 1-2 from the Twelfth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The song of God".

🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 12 Verse 1:
अर्जुन उवाच |
एवं सततयुक्ता ये भक्तास्त्वां पर्युपासते |
ये चाप्यक्षरमव्यक्तं तेषां के योगवित्तमा: || 1||

arjuna uvāchaevaṁ satata-yuktā ye bhaktās tvāṁ paryupāsateye chāpy akṣharam avyaktaṁ teṣhāṁ ke yoga-vittamāḥ

🔴 Arjun inquired: Between those who are steadfastly devoted to Your personal form and those who worship the formless Brahman, whom do You consider to be more perfect in Yog? || 1 ||

🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 12 Verse 2:
श्रीभगवानुवाच |
मय्यावेश्य मनो ये मां नित्ययुक्ता उपासते |
श्रद्धया परयोपेतास्ते मे युक्ततमा मता: || 2||

śhrī-bhagavān uvāchamayy āveśhya mano ye māṁ nitya-yuktā upāsateśhraddhayā parayopetās te me yuktatamā matāḥ

🔴 The Lord said: Those who fix their minds on Me and always engage in My devotion with steadfast faith, I consider them to be the best yogis. || 2 ||

Please consider livestreaming this series like you are doing for Sunday service. Watching Swami deliver this live is very motivating for those of us who do not have the good fortune of being able to be present in NY in person. Many thanks for considering this. Being unable to participate in Q&A is not a big problem. But participating in live Satsang really enhances the Sattvic experience 🙏🙏

Swamiji, I still cannot understand why you are not uploading these lectures through Vedanta NY channel.
Hardly 1% of Hindus know about Bhgawad Gita. We are just Hindus by geography, nothing else.
Please upload these lectures on Vedanta NY. Let people learn these truths through Swamiji and end Casteism.

[vishnukumari]

Any amount of thanks conveyed to Swamiji, wouldn't be enough to express our deep gratitude, for the lectures he delivers, spending so much of his time for our spiritul progress. Swamiji you are our guide & savior.🙏🙏

Maybe Krishna is telling Arjuna that, for those in the middle of a battle field, devotion to god is the most appropriate sādhana. For those of us in more comfortable circumstances, jñāna Yoga is best, if we have the intellect for it.

Swami sarvapriyananda ji and Vedanta society… you are the saviour for all of us … Gratitude 🙏

☀️🙏🏼☀️ thank you for expounding on the word ‘satatayuktaa’. I thing it is my new favorite word in describing certain people. I wonder if there are any Swamis given the name Satatayuktaananda 🤷🏻‍♀️ if so, I should like to see one who garners such a name 🌸

At 35:30 of the discussion, I remembered a verse or “chaupaee” from Ramcharitmanas by Tulsidas (as a bold luminous display at the top of the Mahavir Hanuman Temple visible from the side of the Patna railway station at Patna, Bihar. India, so that the people entering the city from the railway station for various works could see it first):
“Prabisi nagar kije sab kaja,
Hridayan rakhi Kosalapur Raja.”
This means:
“Enteting the city, do all works keeping the King of Kosalpur.i.e., Lord Rama in heart.”

This exactly matched what is being explained by the revered Swamiji here.

[skenterprise]

Swamiji shree Krishna is suprime personality of God or just incarnation ?
