Hope all is well.   Tomorrow is a  very special day.  It is Sri Gita Jayanthi - The day Geetacharya - Bhagavan Shri Krishna - sang/spoke the Holy Gita to Arjuna.  It is also Vaikuntha Ekadasi. 
Immensely special Ekadasi Day…  This Ekadasi, many bhaktas make it a point to do Jaagaran - All-night-vigil singing the glories of the LORD.  Lets observe this day to the best of our Abilities, - Singing Ramayana or Gita or Bhagavatam or Simply do Kirtanas for LORD HARI.

Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the immortal message emanated from the lotus lips of Lord Himself. For centuries Gita has been held in reverence by saints and scholars all over the world. The eternal teachings of Gita are universal and for the welfare of all embracing humanity. Gita stands as a beacon light for the salvation of mankind. Spiritual awareness and awakening as imparted in the Gita, elevates man's perception, who then sees the existence as one whole,  breaking the barriers of cast, creed and color. An embodied soul who lives the Divine teachings of Gita, attains liberation.

Lord Himself declared the Gita Mahatmaya in the 18th chapter of Gita - "He, who with supreme adoration to Me shall teach this Supreme Secret to My devotees, he shall attain Me, of this there is no doubt". (18-68) "Among men, there is none who does Me a dearer service than he, nor shall any one in this world be deareer to Me than he." (18-69)

Spiritual knowledge is the only thing that can destroy man's miseries forever, so helping man spiritually is the highest form of help. God too is most pleased with those who disseminate spiritual knowledge.

Some Brief words From Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji….

Karma, Yoga or Gyana marga take many births to attain Bhagavan. But, through Bhakti marga one can attain Bhagavan very easily. What is the 'pramana' (evidence) for this? None less than Bhagavan. Bhagavan Himself says so.

In the Gita, Bhagavan tells Arjuna who desires to become a Yogi, 'aneka janma samsiddhih!' Through the practice of Yoga you can attain to Me but only after many births.

Bhagavan then goes on to speak of Gyana marga and explains to Arjuna, 'Bahoonam janmanam ante' only after many births can you attain to Me in this path.

But, while speaking on Bhakti marga, Bhagavãn tells Arjuna, 'na chirat' - it will not take long. You can attain to Me now, in this very janma.

-------------------------

You cannot correct the world. Each one has his own vasana; hence, will act only as per his vasana. You cannot correct others. You should correct only yourself. Of what use is it in advising others to correct themselves without correcting ourselves? Your expectation of this one or that one to behave in a particular way as you deem fit is a grave mistake. Let everyone be as he/she is. Why should they change? Let us transform ourselves.

HH Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
