    Geeta Jayanti on MokshadA EkAdashI 2021

    || om namo bhagavate vAsudevAya ||

    Namaste

    Once again Geeta Jayanti on MokshadA Ekadashi 2021 is approaching.

    Dec 14 - coming Tuesday - for most of the world.

    It was on an Ekadashi 5300 years ago that Bhagavan Shri KRshNa sang the Bhagavad Geeta to Arjun. Since His discourse (the Geeta) was liberating, giving moksha, this EkAdashi (Margasheesh) is called MokshadA EkAdashI. moksha + dA = moksha pradAyini, giving knowledge of freedom, mukti.

    So this day every year is honored by pArAyaN of all 18 chapters, all shlokas of the Bhagavad Geeta. (reading/reciting all shlokas, all chapters).

    What a perfect occasion for the beautiful Bhagavad Geeta Aarati -- after the pArAyaN is complete.

    Jay Bhagavad Geete
    MaiyA Jai Bhagavada Geete
    Harihiya kamala vihAriNi sundar supuneete
    Om jai bhagavad geete

    karma sukarma prakAshini (throws light on karma)
    kAmAsakti haraa (takes away Akasti, attachments and desires)
    tattva-dnyAna vikAsini (enhances tattva-dnyAn, principles of adhyAtma)
    vidyA bramha parA (gives knowledge of Bramh)
    om jai bhagavad geete

    nishchal-bhakti-vidhAyini nirmal malahArI . (Purifies the devotee and bestows pure devotion)
    sharan-sahasy-pradAyini sab vidhi sukhakAree (Shares the secret of surrender to the Lord, and makes all actions pleasant)
    om jai bhagavad geete

    raag-dvesh-vidaarini kaarini mod sada . (destroys the duality of likes and dislikes or attraction/aversion, love/hate)
    bhav-bhay-haarini taarini paramaanandaprada (takes away fear, liberates from samsaar and bestows highest bliss)
    om jai bhagavad geete

    daivee sad-gunadAyini hari-rasikA sajanee (bestows divine qualities, this beloved of Hari who dwells in the mellows of Hari's divine qualities)om jay bhagavad geete

    samata, tyAg sikhAvani, hari-mukha kI vANi. (Mother Gita teaches equanimosity and equality, sacrifice, and is nectar straight from the Lotus Mouth of Shri Hari VishNu)
    sakal shAstra kI svAminI shrutiyon kI rANI (She is the Goddess of ALL scriptures and the Queen of Shruti - the heard, revealed - i..e. Vedas)
    om jai bhagavad geete

    daya-sudha barasAvani, maatRu! kRpA keejiye (O Mother, please shower Your grace and mercy on us)
    haripad-prem dAn kar apano kar lee jiye ( Give us devotion and pure love of Shri Hari's Lotus Feet , and make us Yours )

    om jai bhagavad geete

    -----------
    I simply love this aarati.

    Dear Bhagavad Geeta is

    • hari rasikA sajani... -- The beloved of Hari, sings glories of Hari (VishNu, Shri KRshNa)
    • shrutiyonki rAni -- Queen of the Shrutis (the heard , revealed Vedas)
    • sakala shAstra ki swAmini --- The Goddess or crown of all scriptures
    • paramAnanda pradA (Gives param Anand)
    • hari mukha kI vANi (Words straight from Hair's Lotus mouth)
    • daivI sad-guNa dAyini (Bestows good and divine qualities)
    • harihiya kamala vihAriNi (lives with and within Hari always. Kamal = Lotus)

    and a lot more...

    The Hindu Yogi Sri Chinmoy wrote a beautiful play about Sri Krishna:

    The Singer of the Eternal Beyond

    https://www.srichinmoy.org/resources...eternal-beyond


    (In 2007, Sri Chinmoy was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Sri Chinmoy conducted meditations at the United Nations for about 30 years and at the US Congress for about 20 years.)
