1/Out of the six systems of philosophy of #Hinduism, the #Vedanta system is the most popular one & its canonical works are #Upanishads, #Brahmasutras, & #BhagavadGita, considered as SRUTIS by #Hindus (Primary Scriptures revealed by GOD & passed on to generations by vsrious sages.
2/The Smritis are secondary scriptures recorded through memory by human origin ).
The four great #Vedas have two portions, Karma-Kanda(sacrificial/ ritual portion) & Gnana-Kanda(Wisdom portion, known as Vedanta that prepares for Higher Spiritual Vision/ attainment)
3/The Upanishads are known as Vedanta( which means Final Goal of wisdom. Veda is wisdom & Anta means end)
The ONENESS of Soul and GOD lies at the very root of all Vedic thought. It is the IDEAL OF UNITY OF ALL LIFE & ONENESS OF TRUTH, makes UPANISHADS appealing to modern minds.

Che Guevara - the known revolutionary but the unknown bigot, homophobe, hate monger & a mass murderer.

Here's a 🧵 on why #PavanKalyan shouldn't be compared to Che. More importantly, this thread reasons why no #JanaSena supporter should take inspiration from Che... (1/n) Image

#BhagavadGita:
Thus spake #SriKrishna
1/ Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect & false ego constitute MY seperate eightfold material energies.
These inferior gross & subtle energies( matter & mind), exploited by animate beings for different purposes,
2/function only by MY SUPERIOR ENERGY(SPIRIT). These manifestations have no independent existence.
All manifested beings have their source OF MY MATERIAL & SPIRITUAL ENERGY.
KNOW- IAM THE ORIGIN & THE DISSOLUTION.
All manifestations rest on ME, like pearls strung on a thread.
3/All embodied souls are under the control of three modes or qualities of material nature-Goodness, passion & ignorance (Sattva, Rajas & Tamas)
These modes act upon us, and how one transcends them is explained by #SriKrishna.

Sri Aurobindo on Bhagavad Gita, humanity's greatest asset: The human mind moves way forward, alters its viewpoint and enlarges its thought substance,and the effect of these changes is to render past systems of thinking obsolete or, when they are preserved, to extend,to modify 1/6 Image
and subtly or visibly alter their value. The vitality of an ancient doctrine consists in the extent to which it naturally lends itself to such treatment; for that means that whatever may have been the limitations or the obsolescences of the form of its thought, the truth of 2/6
substance, the truth of living vision and experience on which its system was built is still sound and retains a permanent validity and significance. The Gita is a book that has worn extraordinarily well and it is almost as fresh and still in its real substance quite as new, 3/6

Margasira sukla Ekadasi is revered as Geeta Jayanthi, the day Lord #SriKrishna counselled Arjuna with his famous preaching #Bhagawadgita. But it was not first time Supreme God preaching the philosophy and Arjuna was not the first person to be imparted with the divine knowledge.+

" I taught this imperishable Yoga (Bhagawadgita)

ఘంటశాల వెంకటేశ్వరరావు 1922 డిశంబర్‌ 4న గుడివాడ మండలం చౌటపల్లిలో ఘంటశాల సూర్యనారాయణ, రత్నమ్మ దంపతులకు జన్మించారు. చిన్నప్పటి నుండే భజనలు, కీర్తనలు తండ్రి వెంట పాడుతూ ఉండేవారు.
తండ్రి ఆశయం నెరవేర్చాలనే లక్ష్యంతో సంగీత గురుకులంలో చేరారు. అక్కడి కట్టుబాట్లను తట్టుకోలేక తిరిగి సొంత ఊరికి వచ్చేశారు. తెలిసిన కొందరు సంగీత విద్వాంసుల ఇళ్ళలో పని చేస్తూ సంగీతం అభ్యసించాలని నిర్ణయించుకున్నారు. ఈ క్రమంలో పని ఒత్తిడి పెరగడంతో ఆయన సంగీత కళాశాలలో చేరాలని అనుకున్నారు.
