Welcome Back!

Is this the time to go back? Most of us will answer it as “not really” if they don’t know the content. But, we would suggest that this is the right time to go back. Yes, after leaving a rote and contingent life for more than two decades i thought of going back. I know that such reverberating adventures are not always favorable but at the same time meaningless enliven life will lead us to academic Alzheimer’s disease. I don’t say that nobody knows every answer of the questions that they come across in their life. But it takes time to find them ranging from seconds to centuries. We want a key that opens almost every locks and that search ends in our ancient literature. While mentioning mentoring ancient literature we mostly end up around universal mentor – Srimad Bhagwad Gita.

Besides me, I found two young imprudently wise pundits who shares the same idea and will keep creatively stubborn like me alive. Filtration of our souls until it gets immortal would be the highest compensation we can expect with it. This blog is collaboration of our work and also an enduring commitment to our culture. This is probably the homework which is undone since birth and we hope to finish before getting involved in its revolving interest rate.

Inheritance

It’s been more than a week now we have started learning process and many of my well wishers asked me one Question.Why Gita? why now ? It reminded me to go back and search past for the reasons and I did find at least one reason.

INHERITANCE – Grandfather’s wish

In India (and also in rest of the world), GenNext (next generation) gets precious and earned assets in inheritance from their parents and/or grand parents. Inheritance in the form of assets and balanced wealth, comes with a will, where generally it is advised to use wealth for noble cause in society.

I received nothing but a book from my granddad as an inheritance few years back and was told that this is the only thing I required in life, rest can be earned effortlessly if I learn from this book. I was also advised to read it as early as possible and as many times possible throughout the life and convey the message to world.

A book with no more than 200 pocket size pages. What do you think, how much time it takes to complete such book? 10 days..? oh..If you are avid reader..2 days and 2 nights are max! Imagine how much time I took to just start first chapter of this book? Only 15 years. 10 years old in me could not understand importance of the book and the book went into secured permanent place in temple. Despite visiting temple everyday, I did not even look at that book for last 15 years of my life. I will call these 15 years as fatal miss for not understanding value of precious inheritance I possessed and responsibility attached with it. Book is not only family heritage to me but is cultural heritage passed on by many generations with sole purpose – understand and celebrate synergy between matter and spirit. It is not only for my personal transformation but for the entire mankind’s enhancement. Finally, having this understanding developed in 2008, I felt selfish this summer for not understanding simple but profound message given as a book by my grandpa and started taking care of my most precious asset on planet earth since last three months by enchanting and learning one shlok a day from the book and a work undone so far has been started and will go on forever.

Vedic Learnings (http://vediclearnings.wordpress.com/) is all about crossing the mind limits and reach new horizons by learning truths about everything in precise yet poetic manner with the help of greatest guide “The Bhagwad Gita”.

If you love to live life based on thoughts integrated with highest bliss & love, you will fall in love with this book. I do.

PS: Tell you one thing, don’t consider this book as religious book or this web place (http://vediclearnings.wordpress.com/) a religious platform. Religion has limitations and this book is not about limitations, it is about exploring unlimited human will.

Habitual readings

Habit of regular reading can prove to be one of the best friends of any human being. And in my life so far, I have seen and met many such people (My two team members are one of the best examples of such people here) who have befriended reading religiously. When I say religiously, it has got nothing to do with conventional religion. To me, religion means some decided set of practices, disciplines and guidelines that becomes part of human habits and which – if followed regularly, could help keeping a human being active and full of life. Reading covers a very broad spectrum of resources; ranging from mythological scriptures, philosophy, natural sciences, medicine, economics, technology to sports, business, entertainment to anything, which basically can satisfy human interests.

On an average, many people who decide to learn reading, tend to spend some part of their lives for some ‘type of reading.’ But, it is this ‘type of reading’ that plays an important part in deciding the future paths for them. Any type of reading is good as long as it does not lead one to indulge into something, which can be termed commonly as, bad, or an evil. The battles between ‘good and evil’, ‘light and darkness’, ‘truth and untruth’ are older than our own existence. Verily, the question of ‘life and death’ has been so profound that its inception and contemplation dates back to thousands of years.

But hey! Why am I writing all these here? Well, because I feel that with ‘Vedic Learnings’, I wish to explore and share the possibilities of expanding the horizons of human knowledge, understanding and will. And I believe, that ‘Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta’ is one of those many literary resources, which unveils one of the highest philosophies for the ‘free human mind.’
