It is titled, on the subject: ‘The Universe: Saint Dnyaneshwar on Jeeva-Jagat-Ishwara’. There are many commentaries, on Shrimad Bhagvad-Gita (Gita/ Geeta, in short as it is popularly called) by eminent luminaries, past and present, including the famous Acharyas of the Indian tradition, including Adi Shrimat Shankaracharya, The Great, of the pre-historic times and the late great Indian patriot and nationalist, Lokamanya Shri Bal Gangadhar Tilak, the best known amongst the latest. That is not to discount the epic contribution of many others but to just name those few who are the foremost amongst the other well-known commentators of Gita. Saint Dnyaneshwar Saint Shri Dnyaneshwar (also called, Saint Shri Dnyanadeva) is a Gita commentator of great fame, from medieval India. He was a Yogin of great merit, amongst the Indian saints. His elder brother and also a famous yogin saint, Shri Nivrittinatha, inducted him into the Natha tradition of the Siddhas since a very young age. Their tradition started from Adinatha Shiva down Shri Matsyendranatha, Gorakshanatha et al. Saint Dnyaneshwar has referred to it in brief in his epic work, Dnyaneshwari (also known as Bhavartha-deepika). ------ ------ ------- The other salient background of the philosophy and yoga of Gita as expounded by saint Dnyaneshwar has also been narrated in this book. A glossary of various terms used in the book is attached at the end of this book. It appears that there is a rising demand for hard copies. Therefore I have made arrangements to print my books on Pothi.com. My Dear Readers, I hope that I am able to add to your knowledge of Yoga and Gita-Dnyaneshwari and my efforts bear at least a modicum of fruits. This is my literary tribute to the Lord Shri Krishna and saint Dnyaneshwar and I hope that they would kindly accept it, howsoever, good or bad my efforts may have been. _______________ Gita and Dnyaneshwari Those who are familiar with the Indian ethos must have at least heard the name of the great Indian epic – Mahabharata. It is centered upon the Great War that was fought between the Kauravas and the Pandavas in the mythological times. They were cousins who ultimately went to war over who should inherit the kingdom of the Kurus, an ancient Indian dynasty. Their capital was Hastinapur, near present day Delhi. Dhritarashtra, a blind king, ruled their Kingdom after Pandu, his younger brother, abdicated the throne in his favour as a regent king. The Kauravas, hundred in all, were his sons and Gandhari was his queen. Pandu, after abdicating, went to reside in a forest

    Classic Poetry Series Sant Dnyaneshwar - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Sant Dnyaneshwar(1275 – 1296) Sant Dnyaneshwar (or Sant Jñaneshwar) (Marathi: ??? ??????????) is also known as Jñanadeva (Marathi: ????????). He was a 13th century Maharashtrian Hindu saint (Sant - a title by which he is often referred), poet, philosopher and yogi of the Nath tradition whose works Bhavartha Deepika (a commentary on Bhagavad Gita, popularly known as "Dnyaneshwari"), and Amrutanubhav are considered to be milestones in Marathi literature. <b>Traditional History</b> According to Nath tradition Sant Dnyaneshwar was the second of the four children of Vitthal Govind Kulkarni and Rukmini, a pious couple from Apegaon near Paithan on the banks of the river Godavari. Vitthal had studied Vedas and set out on pilgrimages at a young age. In Alandi, about 30 km from Pune, Sidhopant, a local Yajurveda brahmin, was very much impressed with him and Vitthal married his daughter Rukmini. After some time, getting permission from Rukmini, Vitthal went to Kashi(Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, India), where he met Ramananda Swami and requested to be initiated into sannyas, lying about his marriage. But Ramananda Swami later went to Alandi and, convinced that his student Vitthal was the husband of Rukmini, he returned to Kashi and ordered Vitthal to return home to his family. The couple was excommunicated from the brahmin caste as Vitthal had broken with sannyas, the last of the four ashrams. Four children were born to them; Nivrutti in 1273, Dnyandev (Dnyaneshwar) in 1275, Sopan in 1277 and daughter Mukta in 1279. According to some scholars their birth years are 1268, 1271, 1274, 1277 respectively.

It was at the Theosophical Convention of 1884 that I first met him, and from the very first moment became so deeply attracted to him as to make it difficult for me to understand why it was so. My admiration of his ability was so great that I began to look upon him almost from that time as a great man. He was a very well-made robust man, and strikingly intellectual. When H. P. B. was here, he was known to be a great favourite of hers. It was said that he first attracted " her attention by a paper called The Twelve Signs of the Zodiao ", which was afterwards published.

  • From Dnyaneshwari
    FROM ͚DNYANESHWARI- BHAVARTHDEEPIKA͛: Dnyaneshwari is a commentary on Gita, written 700 years ago by Saint Dnyneshwar (Jnanesvara or Gnanadeva) (1274-1297). It brings Vedanta and other spiritual philosophies to common man. It explains the various paths a person can take for spiritual progress and ultimate liberation. It is written in verse form as used to be custom of those days, An excellent spiritual seekers guide, it discusses in detail four different paths viz. The path of Knowledge, the path of action, the path of yoga and the path of devotion to choose from depending upon the psychological make up of the seeker. It presents the cream of Vedanta philosophy, Sankhya philosophy, Kundalini yoga and the practice of devotion. While Gita is difficult to understand to a common man, Saint Dnyaneshwar has written Dnyaneshwari (Original name Bhavarthadeepika) specifically for common man and therefore the text is easy to understand. Saint Dnyaneshwar wrote this critique at the age of sixteen on the instructions of his Guru and elder (only by two years) brother Nivruttinath. Nivruttinath was a disciple of Gahininath, one of the nine gems or Navnaths of the Nath sect. Dnyaneshwari written seven hundred years ago is still vibrantly alive and is regularly read in many homes in Maharashtra. YAJNA OF KNOWLEDGE This Yajna of knowledge is as follows. The original thought that I am one but I desire to be many is the pole for tying the sacrificial animal and dualism is that animal. The five elements are the pandal (temporary enclosed shelter), the special attributes of the five elements namely the five organs and the five types of vital breaths (Pranas) are the material to be used in the yajna and ignorance is the ghee (clarified butter used in Indian households for cooking and for lamps) to be burnt in it.

  • Homeokinetic Mind and Equanimity (Sthita-Prajnata)
    1 Homeokinetic Mind: Equanimity (Sthita-Prajnaa) and Self-Renewal Vinod D Deshmukh, MD PhD [email protected] Abstract Homeokinetics is an extension of the concept of homeostasis. „Homeo‟ means the same; „stasis‟ means a steady state and „kinetic‟ means a dynamic movement. Homeostasis is defined as a tendency toward a relatively stable internal environment in organisms through interacting physiological processes. It implies maintenance of an internal steady state of an organism by means of self-regulation. It also includes a stable psychological condition of an individual with respect to opponent psychodynamic forces like drives, desires, emotions, and motivations. Homeokinetics emphasizes a tendency toward relatively stable rate of change of internal environment of an organism and its mental activity. Organisms, including humans, are complex self-organizing systems, which are governed by thermodynamic principles with transportation of molecules, energy, and information across its biophysical and cognitive border to maintain their functional form, self-integrity, and behavior. A river represents a typical homeokinetic system. It is not static but a dynamic process. It consists of ever-fluctuating water molecules, „atomisms‟ at one level of observation, and a collective and continuous form, „continuum‟ at another. The river is both, ever-new, and ever-the-same, depending on one‟s perspective. Most of the complex living systems, like organism, mind, and society, are homeokinetically organized in a nested hierarchy. The mind (Antah-karana) in Vedanta is considered to be the internal organ of action (Karma), cognition (Jnaana), and experience (Bhoga). It includes four hierarchical components: sense of self with intentionality (Aham-bhava), memory (Chitta), discriminating intelligence (Buddhi), and thought-emotion (Manas).

  • Srimad Bhagavad Gita
    Srimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 13 Kshetra Kshetrajna Vibhaaga Yogah: Yoga of Distinction between The Field and the Knower of the Field Transliterated Sanskrit Text Free Translation & Brief Explanation By T.N.Sethumadhavan Published In Esamskriti.com & Medhajournal.com Nagpur September 2010 [email protected] Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 13 (Part-1) Kshetra Kshetrajna Vibhaaga Yogah: Yoga of Distinction between The Field and the Knower of the Field T.N.Sethumadhavan Preamble This is one of the most well-known Chapters in the Gita which explains and also provides guidance to experience the Self. It is an extension of the previous Chapter in as much as it gives exhaustive instructions for meditation upon the Imperishable Formless Spirit (Unmanifest). This Chapter continues the discussion of the theme started in Chapter 7 entitled ‘Yoga of Knowledge and Wisdom’ and Chapter 8 entitled ‘Yoga of Imperishable Brahman’. The intervening four Chapters (9-12) are a slight detour in order to clarify the doubts raised by Arjuna. As earlier stated each group of six Chapters of the Gita explains the sacred words of the Great Declaration (Mahavakya) -Tat Twam Asi - That Thou Art. The terms `Thou' and `That' were dealt with in Chapters 1-6 (Path of action or Karma Yoga) and 7-12 (Path of devotion or Bhakti Yoga) respectively. The closing group of six Chapters beginning with this Chapter explains the term `Art' (Path of knowledge or Jnana Yoga) which establishes the identity of the individual soul with the Supreme Soul. A living organism is the Spirit functioning through the covering of matter. `That' (Spirit) covered by matter is `Thou' (Man).

  • Discernment: the Message of the Bhagavad-Gita
    Acta Theologica 2013 Suppl 17: 271-290 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/actat.v32i2S.14 ISSN 1015-8758 © UV/UFS <http://www.ufs.ac.za/ActaTheologica> K. Perumpallikunnel DISCERNMENT: THE MESSAGE OF THE BHAGAVAD-GITA ABSTRACT The Bhagavad-Gita is an intelligent response to a perennial human predicament which other religions and philosophies also tried to resolve in their own way. Human beings often stood perplexed and mystified as they confronted paradoxical situations in life that demanded action. Discerning right from wrong often became an existential predicament. The Pandava prince Arjuna found himself standing on the shaky ground of Kurukshetra not knowing the way forward. Lord Krishna outlines for him the path towards gaining flawless self-knowledge and self-mastery from his sorrowful state of confusion and opened his eyes to perceive the truths beyond appearances. Krishna instructs him that, when a person is capable of watching everything that happens within and around him dispassionately and acting with an attitude of detachment, he attains sthithaprajna (equanimity) and samadhai (liberation). 1. INTRODUCTION The subject matter of the Bhagavad-Gita (The song of God) is nothing other than discernment (Ramacharaka 2010:3). According to the Gita, discernment is all about nityanithya vastu viveka (discernment of the eternal and temporal realities) (Kaji 2001:27). Lord Krishna, the supreme Guru, tutors his confused disciple, Arjuna, to lead him from the state of maya (illusion) to the perfect understanding of satyasya satyam (really real). Krishna outlines for Arjuna the path towards gaining flawless self- knowledge and self-mastery from his sorrowful state of confusion (1:47).
