🙏 Namste Everyone Welcome to my Blog

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन। मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥ २-४७

Meaning- Your right is to perform your work, but never to the results. Never be motivated by the results of your actions, nor should you be attached to not performing your prescribed duties.

तुझे नियतकर्म करण्याचा तुला अधिकार आहे पण कर्मफलांवर तुझा अधिकार नाही तुझ्या कर्मफलास तू कारणीभूत आहेस असे कधीही समजू नकोस तसेच तुझे कर्तव्य न करण्यामध्ये ही तू आसक्त होऊ नकोस.

   The Bhagavad-Gita is the most important book on Yoga, a very important work. It has 18 chapters n every chapter has yoga in it.

   The main thing, which is mentioned in the Bhagavad-Gita, is what is called Karma Yoga, It tells u that we humans should do our part, our duty, with the best of our capacity n leave the rest to God, to a Higher Reality. 

   Shri Krishna said: “Do your duty without the concern to the fruit of it”. Some people get confused with the Karma Yoga as volunteer work or social work. The word “Karma” means action, so Karma Yoga is the Yoga of Action or duty.

   Back in the day, when Arjuna was hesitant to go ahead with the Kurukshetra war, Krishna counseled him regarding right and wrong, the purpose of life, dharma, and karma. These teachings are known as the Bhagavad Gita, now compiled in various forms and languages. Karma Yoga is one among the different lessons imparted to Arjuna by Krishna to convince him to take part in the war.

   Karma Theory - Spirituality is not going 2 follow if materialism is not looked after. So we go on doing wrong actions in life n they've their own effect & this circuit goes on n on & we unable to come out of it. In Yoga this theory is called as "The Karma theory, the theory of actions".

What is Karma Yoga?

Karma Yoga is the road to selfless, service. It is the path where 100% effort must be put in one without bothering about results. It's bit connected to Bhakti Yoga, one can not selflessly help others in the absence of love n devotion.

  Doing our duty fully is concept of karma yoga. First u need to know what u need to do. But whatever u do don't complain. Comfort been people that we r not alone, make a choice if u feel, this is the individual concept of karma yoga. 

   Any given roal has choice. Be in the moment, fulfill ur responsibility which has given u a roll, only u can decide what is ur duty, no one can force u. Self discipline about urself motivational, whatever u believe become reality. U have a chance to make what u have given. You should connect to highest creativity n deity, reality n highest Devine. We should b someone, u can not support wrong things in support of life, don't get hurt try to see ur balance n actions.

Biggest lesson Karma yoga is

 1. Be yourself.

 2. Do your duty.

 3. Follow your passion.

 4. Give up all roals.

 5. Accept challenges.

 6. Set the goals n enjoy ur challenges.

   On the paths to spiritual libertarian in Hinduism, karma yoga is path of unselfish actions. It teaches that a spiritual seeker should act accordingly to dharma without being attached the fruits or personal consequences. Karma yoga, States the Bhagvad gita, puriues the mind.

In the Ramayan, There is scean where Shri Ram has to go to Lanka, he is standing at the tip of the Indian peninsula, at Kanyakumari. There is the gr8 ocean in front n he is to cross over to get back his wife Sita maa n fight evil. Now he has to make a bridge n all those people who with Shri Ram, bears n monkeys and others, they have started working.

They go on lifting stones n throw them into the sea, It's a Herculean task ! Everybody is doing their part, putting in their efforts. 

Amongst all these big animals there is also a small squirrel. She is not sitting quietly, Shri Ram sees the bears lifting huge stones but he is not affected by it. The squirrel could've thought, "What can I do? I'm just a small creature." But, no! The squirrel was lifting small tones n throwing them into the sea. 

Shri Ram, who is observing this, tenderly lift the squirrel n moves his hand along the squirrel's back n blessed her saying, "You r doing a wonderful thing." 

In India, some of our squirrels, have those black strips on them n It's saying that It's Shri Ram's hand which has moved on the squirrel n that is how they got the stripes.

The point is that the squirrels effort no doubt was very small when u see the whole picture n may b we could say, "Well, if she had not done it, it would hardly no matter at all." But the philosophy tells us very clearly, that u do ur part well, don't see what others r doing, 

Don't compare urself with others, U r different, U r unique !! Work joyfully n B creative in ur work, Never allow laziness n boredom to overcome you.

Thank u so much 🙏
