What do I want out of life? What is my purpose here? Are
these not questions that continue to plague us throughout
our lives? Childhood and adolescence are simply times in
which the intensity of the questions and the agony caused
by not knowing the answers are at their peak. Sure, the
logistic concerns of youth differ from the logistic concerns
of old age; however, at the core, we are all searching for
truth, peace and happiness. The Gita provides this.
Additionally, because it was sung by Lord Krishna, Himself,
the Gita has the miraculous ability to give the reader
exactly the answer and meaning he/she was searching for.
So, if you open it today in the midst of a crisis at work you
will come upon a passage that will speak something
different to you than when you open it a year from now,
looking for comfort after the death of a parent. Similarly,
youth will find a different jewel in the treasure chest than
adults will. But, it is still a jewel from the ultimate treasure
chest.
THE YAGNA OF MAHATMA
GANDHI
Each year on August 15, we celebrate India’s
independence, and on January 30 we observe the
anniversary of the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. The
former is an occasion for rejoicing, the latter an occasion
for somber reflection. We won our independence, but we
lost a beautiful soul, a true Maha Atma (Great Soul). As we
revel in the joy of India’s freedom, we must not forget the
price we paid. Gandhiji was truly the saint of the century,
and our Pranam to him should be that we never forget
the message of his life.
As we reflect on the greatness of Mahatma Gandhiji’s life
and the tragedy of his assassination, let us look not only at
facts but also at meanings. What was the meaning of his
life? What was the message of his death? What does he
have to teach the world of today?
12) In today’s changing world, is there something in
the Gita for all of humanity?
Definitely. This is what I have been saying. The truth is
there for all to see. The sun does not disappear behind a
cloud simply because a Christian or a Muslim goes outside.
The Bhagavad Gita shows us the way to live with God, to
