Character Sketch

  • Karṇa is the repository of all good deeds and it is his good deeds that stand in the way of his own Enlightenment. Śrī Kṛṣṇa has to take the load of Karṇa's puṇya, his meritorious deeds, before he could be liberated. The Enlightened Master guides one to drop one's attachment to good deeds arising out of what are perceived to be charitable and compassionate intentions. He also shows us that the quest for and the experience of enlightenment is the ultimate act of compassion that one can offer to the world.

Bhagavan Ṣri Kṛṣṇa, the 8th most powerful purnāvatar of Ṃaha Viśnu, is the embodiment of pure celebration, boundless love, compassion, and completion.

Bhagavan Ṣri Kṛṣṇa is the only incarnation demonstrating and expressing Ṣarva Ṃangalatva all the auspicious qualities and all dimensions of an avatar during His physical happening. The līla Bhagavan Ṣri Krsna is one of sheer innocence and simplicity, in a peace-loving, diplomatic, conflict-free way.

Bhagavad Gītā appears in the heart of Mahābhārat in Bhīṣma Parva, the sixth chapter of its eighteen chapters. Veda Vyāsa, the narrator, in glorifying the Gītā sings, 'the one who drinks the water of Ganges (the sacred river for Hindus) attains liberation, what to speak of the one who drinks the nectar of Gītā?

Gītā is the essential nectar of the Mahābhārat, bhāratamṛta sarvasvam as it is directly spoken by Nārāyaṇa, Bhagavān kṛṣṇa Himself.'

The armies assembled in the vast field of Kurukṣetra, now in the state of Haryana in modern day Bharat. All the kings and princes were related to one another, and were often on opposite sides. Facing the Kaurava army and his friends, relatives and teachers, Arjuna was overcome by remorse and guilt, and wanted to walk away from the battle out of total powerlessness unbecoming an invincible warrior among warriors.

Śrī Kṛṣṇa's dialogue with Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukṣetra out of His utmost concern and love for him and humanity is the content of Bhagavad Gītā. Of its seven hundred and forty-five (745) verses, Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa sings the Gītā in six hundred and twenty (620) verses responding to Arjuna's fifty-seven (57) enquiries.

Śrī Kṛṣṇa persuades Arjuna to give-up his powerlessness unfitting an Ārya—the spiritually evolved one who understands human life and urges him to raise himself again as Parantapa—the conqueror of enemy, and take up arms and vanquish his enemies. They are already dead,' says Śrī Kṛṣṇa, 'All those who are facing you have been already killed by Me. Go ahead and do what you have to do. That is your responsibility. Do not worry about the outcome. Leave that to Me.'

buddhirjñānam asaṁmohaḥ kṣamā satyaṁ damaḥ śamaḥ sukhaṁ duḥkhaṁ bhavo 'bhāvo bhayaṁ cābhayameva ca

Intelligence, knowledge, freedom from doubt and delusion, forgiveness, truthfulness, control of the senses, control of the mind, happiness, distress, birth, death, fear, fearlessness

Kṛṣṇa says, whatever you have, whether you have a good name or a bad name, it is created by me

ahiṁsā samatā tuṣṭis tapo dānaṁ yaśo 'yaśaḥ bhavanti bhāvā bhūtānāṁ matta eva pṛthagvidhā

Non-violence, equanimity, satisfaction, austerity, charity, fame and infamy, all these various qualities of living beings are created by Me alone

Be complete with life as it is, be authentic to all aspects of your life: your inner image, outer image, others' image and life's image.

maharṣayaḥ sapta pūrve catvāro manavastathā madbhāvā mānasā jātā yeṣāṁ loka imāḥ prajāḥ

The seven great sages and before them, the four great Manus, endowed with My power, They arose from My mind and all the living beings populating the planet descend from them.

As the Universal consciousness, Kṛṣṇa is the Creator, Sustainer and Rejuvenator. He is Brahma, Viṣṇu and Śiva.

etām vibhūtiṁ yogaṁ ca mama yo vetti tattvataḥ so 'vikampena yogena yujyate nātra saṁśayaḥ

He who knows all this glory and powers of mine, truly, he is fully united in Me; Of that there is no doubt

One needs to do nothing except understand and accept what Kṛṣṇa is. Nothing more is needed.

Kṛṣṇa asks us to complete with life as it is. Only when we accept ourselves as we are, can we accept others. Only then we will feel deep friendliness with others. Deep friendliness with others is spirituality. Understand that spirituality is honest and deep friendliness with others.

Love is the flowering of our consciousness. love is the greatest healing power on planet Earth.

Spirituality means flowing. Spirituality means radiating, spreading love and compassion. Whenever we enrich out of compassion, we never feel that we have served. We feel that we have been given an opportunity to serve, to enrich.

Whether we believe it or not, as of now, we have a deep enmity or hostility towards others and ourselves. We live in constant self-doubt, self- hatred and self-denial. We may smile, but we never feel friendly. To correct this, the first thing you need to do is completion with yourself and accept yourself as you are. Forgiving others and forgiving yourself are one and the same.

The moment we create the space of completion and complete with life as it is, we experience divinity in everything. The moment we complete, a cognitive shift happens in us. The moment we declare completion with ourselves and with life, we complete with the whole world. Then, the complete cognition happens inside our system, which will be centered on bliss.

When you are complete with you, the Universe will be complete with you. When you are incomplete with you, the Universe will be incomplete with you. As the Universal consciousness, Kṛṣṇa is all in one. He is the Creator, Sustainer and Rejuvenator. One needs to do nothing except understand and accept what Kṛṣṇa is. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM says that understanding and completing alone liberates us. Nothing more is needed
