Class Summary forApril 14, 2024 - Bhagavad Gita Chapter-8 ver 23- 26

 Summarized by Bala Dhandapani:

The class discussed points from the April 7th session

Summary/recap:

Goal to reach Mukti is also a bondage.

With Krama Mukti path, one reaches Brahmaloga.  Brahma teaches how to give away the desire to get Mukti, then one would attain Brahman.

Class watched Gurudev’s videos 23, 24, 25 and 26

Summary of the videos

-          Sun represents Spirit and Moon represents Matter

-          When sun comes up everything is dynamic and active

-          Moon is reverse – one would sit down and watch

-          Gurudev points out that no one says Honey Sun !! only Honey Moon !!.

-          Moon represents matter and sun represents energy and dynamism

-          Moon path and sun path is a way of saying.  Moon path is still attached to the matter and enjoyment.

-          For a Karmi, above are the 2 paths

-          Gurudev further expounds on the 2 paths.  The path of no return (Light/Sun) and the path of return (darkness/Moon)

-          Those who are NOT attached to matter and only to spiritual takes the Sun/Light/Bright path. 

-          Those who are attached to matter takes the Moon/dark- road of smoke path and reaches heaven and comes back.

-          The sun and moon paths are the 2 choices always available. 

-          Krama mukti is liberation in stages


Subjective Analysis:  Practice Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Gyana Yoga through Shravanam, Mananam and Nidityasanam.
