VSN Shlok 6, 7

47.APRAMEY
 Lord Narayana cannot be known by any means, such as through the senses or by intellect or discretion.  God himself is the witness, then how can we know Him through any other evidence.  But God can definitely be experienced.  But we can experience God only when we can attain Godhood in ourselves.

48. Hrishikesh
 All the senses are under Lord Narayana.  He is the controller and master of these senses.  God is the master of consciousness and that is why he is called Hrishikesh.
 According to another interpretation, Lord Narayana is also called Hrishikesh because his beautiful hair is a symbol of energy, these hairstyles indicate the power of  rays of Sun and Moon.

49 Padmanabh
 According to the legend of the Puranas, the lotus originates from the navel of Lord Vishnu on which Brahma is situated.  Actually, the meaning of the Padanabha form of God is that Lord Vishnu is the center of the birth of all creation, is the cause.  He is the reason for the existence of this ever-changing world.

50. Amarprabhu
 There are deities who look after the welfare of living beings.  Lord Narayana is also the lord of these deities and thus Lord Narayana is the last refuge for the welfare of the living beings.

54. Sthavishth
    If God is even subtler than the subtlest,  He is bigger than the biggest.  Everything is contained in the vastness of God, all are under the same vastness, the greatest greatness. Lord Narayan is all Pervasive.

55. Sthavirah Dhruh
 Lord Narayan is ancient i.e. from the beginning but he is immutable, Akshar i.e. decay free i.e. Lord Narayana has been in existence from time immemorial without change and He has been firm and steady.

56. Agrahay
 Man is not able to understand Lord Narayana through the sense organs, so he is called Agrahya.  In the past we have seen that the Lord is Apramey who cannot be known by the intellect .  God is also inadmissible (Agrahya) because no sense organs can feel him.

57. Shashwath
 Lord Narayan is always free from time and space.  There has never been a time, there is not going to be a time when Lord Narayana was not and will not be.   God  is free from time and space, He is eternal beyond all these.

58. Krishna
 Krishna is also a popular name of Lord Narayana and in the series of incarnations Krishna is also one of the most important incarnations along with Lord Rama.  The name Krishna is given because of the dark complexion in the human form of Lord Narayana.  Krishna is the form of Sachidananda, that is, the form of Sat, Chit, and Ananda I.e. in the nature of existence, consciousness and bliss.

59. Lohitaksha:
 Describing the physical form of Lord Narayana, Lord Narayana is also called the one with red eyes.  The mention of the embodied form of the Lord helps us to meditate upon Him.

60. Pratarnah
 Lord Narayana is also the reason for the destruction of all during the Dissolution.  In the time of catastrophe, God ends all and dissolves all so that a new beginning can be made again.

61. Prabhuah
 Lord Narayana is full of all sovereignty i.e. all opulences.  In fact, Lord Narayan is the lord of all opulences, such as knowledge, power, etc.

श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता अध्याय 3 श्लोक 35

श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता अध्याय 3 श्लोक 35 श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुणः परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात्‌।  स्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेयः परधर्मो भयावहः॥ अच्छी प्रकार आचरण में लाए हुए दूसरे के धर्म से गुण रहित भी अपना धर्म अति उत्तम है। अपने धर्म में तो मरना भी कल्याणकारक है और दूसरे का धर्म भय को देने वाला है  ॥35॥ हमें स्मरण होगा कि श्रीकृष्ण ने अर्जुन को गीता के द्वितीय अध्याय के 31वें श्लोक में स्वधर्म के अनुसार कर्म करने की शिक्षा दे चुके हैं। एक बार पुनः हम उस शिक्षा पर बल दिया गया है। ये तो स्पष्ट हो चुका है कि प्रत्येक व्यक्ति की एक खास प्रकृति होती है और उसके कुछ खास गुण होते हैं और व्यक्ति की प्रकृति ही उसे उसकी कामनाएँ देती हैं जिनकी पूर्ति के लिए कर्म करता है। सो यदि व्यक्ति अपनी प्रकृति के अनुसार कर्म नहीं करता तो उसमें विकृति आ जाती है।  यँहा पर आवश्यक है कि हम द्वितीय अध्याय के श्लोक 31 को पुनः समझें। ""गीता अध्याय 2 श्लोक 31 ----------------------------------- स्वधर्ममपि चावेक्ष्य न विकम्पितुमर्हसि। धर्म्याद्धि युद्धाच्छ्रेयोऽन्यत्क्षत्रियस्य न विद्यते॥ तथा अपने धर्म को देखकर भी तू भय ...

Geeta Chapter 3.1

 Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3  Verse 1 (Elucidation of the excellence of performing prescribed duties with non-attachment according to Jnana Yoga and Karma Yoga) Arjuna said: jyāyasī cet karmaṇas te matā buddhir janārdana tat kiṁ karmaṇi ghore māṁ niyojayasi keśavaArjuna spoke- O Janardana! If knowledge is considered superior to action by You, then O Keshava! Why do You engage me in this terrible action? ॥1॥From the above background, it is clear that when we learn and know something, we do not easily accept it in the same form in which that thing, art, or knowledge comes to us. Rather, we take it and understand it according to our prejudices. We have some pre-existing thoughts in our mind and brain, and we mold the knowledge we receive according to those same thoughts. The result is that we cannot learn all that we could learn, and we accept the learned knowledge only according to our prejudices.Arjuna becomes a victim of despondency as soon as he arrives on the battlefield and dec...

श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता अध्याय 14. परिचय

श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता अध्याय 14 परिचय श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता की रचना अर्जुन के संशय को दूर करने के क्रम में हुई है। युद्ध क्षेत्र में युद्ध के लिए खड़े अर्जुन के मन में  युद्ध को लेकर कई प्रश्न उठने लगे थे और उसे युद्ध की निरर्थकता का भान हो रहा था, किन्तु युद्ध की निरर्थकता के लिए उसके जो तर्क थे वे युद्ध से कम और खुद उसके अपने संशय की वजह से अधिक थे। अर्जुन धर्म के विरुद्ध किसी भी आचरण को गलत मानता था और उसे संशय था कि यह युद्ध अर्जुन के लिए अधर्म का मार्ग खोलता है। उसके इसी संशय को दूर करने के लिए अर्जुन और कृष्ण के बीच जो सम्वाद हुआ वही श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता का रूप लेकर सामने आया। वस्तुतः कर्मक्षेत्र में हम सभी कई तरह की भ्रांतियों के शिकार होते हैं। ये भाँतियाँ इस  लिए हावी हो पाती हैं क्योंकि हम स्वयं के अस्तित्व को और स्वयं के साथ संसार के सम्बन्धों की बारीकियों को नहीं समझ पाते हैं। हम कौन हैं और इस संसार में हमारी भूमिका क्या है और क्यों है अगर हम यह समझ लें तो कोई भ्रम न रहे। किन्तु हम समझें कैसे कि हम कौन हैं, क्यों हैं? इसके लिए श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता में जो मार्ग सुझाया गया वह है ध्...
