The Greatest Importance Of Realization That Chapter 15 Can Provide To Your Senses, Soul, Mind, Body, And Spirit From The Bhagavad Gita, Coming To You From The Words Of The Supreme Personality Of Godhead Himself!
So, what should you perform on your part, in the month of Purushottam?
1. Worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead (or also known as Lord Sri Krishna), by chanting his holy name and maha-mantra
2. Study and Read the Srimad Bhagavatam and particularly Chapter 15 of the Bhagavad Gita, which is titled as: Purushottam Yoga or Yoga of the Supreme Person.
3. Do Devotional Service
4. Offer a Ghee (or clarified butter) Diya (or small oil lamp) daily to the Supreme Personality of Godhead (or also known as Lord Sri Krishna)
5. Increase your rounds of chanting the maha-mantra as many times as possible
Just do these 5 rituals and your set for each and every of the months of Purushottam in life.
The main importance behind reading Chapter 15 of the Bhagavad Gita, which talks about Yoga of the Supreme Person in that chapter, is because it is said that anyone who regularly reads the 15th Chapter of Gita can attain (or get) faith (or belief) in Lord Sri Krishna himself!
Of all months, Purushottam is Krishna’s favorite month.
It is said in the Bhagavad Gita, that Lord Sri Krishna states: “I am a celebrated both in the world and in the Vedas as that Supreme Person: Purushottam”
So just as Lord Sri Krishna is the Supreme among all incarnations.
The same way Purushottam is the Supreme and holiest among all months itself.
Firstly, start your journey believing in Krsna, who is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Secondly, here are a few pieces of hand-picked spiritual texts to give you a starting spiritual perspective of why we need to be Krsna Consciousness in order to leave this material world of suffering.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: It is said that there is an imperishable banyan tree that has its roots upward and its branches down and whose leaves are the Vedic hymns. One who knows this tree is the knower of the Vedas.
The branches of this tree extend downward and upward, nourished by the three modes of material nature. The twigs are the objects of the senses. This tree also has roots going down, and these are bound to the fruitive actions of human society.
The real form of this tree cannot be perceived in this world. No one can understand where it ends, where it begins, or where its foundation is. But with determination one must cut down this strongly rooted tree with the weapon of detachment. Thereafter, one must seek that place from which, having gone, one never returns, and there surrender to that Supreme Personality of Godhead from whom everything began and from whom everything has extended since time immemorial.
Those who are free from false prestige, illusion and false association, who understand the eternal, who are done with material lust, who are freed from the dualities of happiness and distress, and who, unbewildered, know how to surrender unto the Supreme Person attain to that eternal kingdom.
That supreme abode of Mine is not illumined by the sun or moon, nor by fire or electricity. Those who reach it never return to this material world.
The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.
The living entity in the material world carries his different conceptions of life from one body to another, as the air carries aromas. Thus he takes one kind of body and again quits it to take another.
The living entity, thus taking another gross body, obtains a certain type of ear, eye, tongue, nose and sense of touch, which are grouped about the mind. He thus enjoys a particular set of sense objects.
The foolish cannot understand how a living entity can quit his body, nor can they understand what sort of body he enjoys under the spell of the modes of nature. But one whose eyes are trained in knowledge can see all this.
The endeavoring transcendentalists who are situated in self-realization can see all this clearly. But those whose minds are not developed and who are not situated in self-realization cannot see what is taking place, though they may try.
The splendor of the sun, which dissipates the darkness of this whole world, comes from Me. And the splendor of the moon and the splendor of fire are also from Me.
I enter into each planet, and by My energy they stay in orbit. I become the moon and thereby supply the juice of life to all vegetables.
I am the fire of digestion in the bodies of all living entities, and I join with the air of life, outgoing and incoming, to digest the four kinds of foodstuff.
I am seated in everyone’s heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedānta, and I am the knower of the Vedas.
There are two classes of beings, the fallible and the infallible. In the material world every living entity is fallible, and in the spiritual world every living entity is called infallible.
Besides these two, there is the greatest living personality, the Supreme Soul, the imperishable Lord Himself, who has entered the three worlds and is maintaining them.
Because I am transcendental, beyond both the fallible and the infallible, and because I am the greatest, I am celebrated both in the world and in the Vedas as that Supreme Person.
Whoever knows Me as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, without doubting, is the knower of everything. He therefore engages himself in full devotional service to Me, O son of Bharata.
This is the most confidential part of the Vedic scriptures, O sinless one, and it is disclosed now by Me. Whoever understands this will become wise, and his endeavors will know perfection.
ALL of the 20 texts from the Holy Chapter 15 of the Bhagavad Gita.
Glorification of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is performed in the paramparā system, that is, it is conveyed from the spiritual master to disciple. Such glorification is relished by those no longer interested in the false, temporary glorification of this cosmic manifestation. Descriptions of the Lord are the right medicine for the conditioned soul undergoing repeated birth and death. Therefore, who will cease hearing such glorification of the Lord except a butcher or one who is killing his own self?
Taking the boat of Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet, my grandfather Arjuna and others crossed the ocean of the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra, in which such commanders as Bhīṣmadeva resembled great fish that could very easily have swallowed them. By the mercy of Lord Kṛṣṇa, my grandfathers crossed this ocean, which was very difficult to cross, as easily as one steps over the hoofprint of a calf. Because my mother surrendered unto Lord Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet, the Lord, Sudarśana-cakra in hand, entered her womb and saved my body, the body of the last remaining descendant of the Kurus and the Pāṇḍavas, which was almost destroyed by the fiery weapon of Aśvatthāmā. Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, appearing within and outside of all materially embodied living beings by His own potency in the forms of eternal time — that is, as Paramātmā and as virāṭ-rūpa — gave liberation to everyone, either as cruel death or as life. Kindly enlighten me by describing His transcendental characteristics.
ALL texts from the Most Important Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam.
Those who are new to kirtan often don’t realize that kirtan is not a musical genre.
Rather it is a transmusical meditation, an activity that has descended from beyond this world of limitation and death to give life to the souls trapped here.
Kirtan is a function of the soul, not the voice!
