The Knowledge of the Gita is Nectar

Gita Tera Gyan Amrit

The wisdom of the Gita is divine nectar

Introduction

The "Gita" is a sacred scripture, revered for its profound spiritual wisdom. Though commonly regarded today as a Holy Book of the Hindus, the Gita transcends any single religion. It is, in fact, a scripture for all humanity. The Holy Gita originated approximately 5,550 years ago (from 2012), during the time of the Mahabharata battle. At that time, there was no distinct religion as we understand today, but rather a universal way of life, the Sanatan Panth, or the Religion of Humanity.

Words, once spoken, are indestructible. They resonate in the minds of those whose "network" or spiritual receptivity is clear, much like messages on a WhatsApp chat. The divine wisdom of the Gita was similarly received by Maharishi Vyas Ji (Shri Krishna Dwaipayan), whose mind was attuned to this higher knowledge. He then recorded it on paper i.e. palm leaves, giving us the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, as we know it today.

The Holy Gita consists of 18 chapters and 700 verses. In composing this text, "The Knowledge of the Gita is Nectar," I have drawn from the wisdom contained in the Gita, much like a doctor gathering specific herbs from a forest to create a life-saving medicine. The forest of wisdom is vast, and this book serves as the distilled essence, a remedy for the human condition.

Just as medicine cures physical ailments, this knowledge has the power to cure the cycle of birth and death. Read this text, and sip the nectar of wisdom for your spiritual healing.

Human life is incomplete without spiritual knowledge. Even those who possess immense wealth often feel a sense of emptiness, as if something essential is missing. To fill this void, people may travel to various tourist destinations, experiencing brief moments of joy. However, such moments are fleeting, and life soon returns to its usual routine, leaving the same feeling of incompleteness. This void is the absence of devotion to God.

To address this, many people turn to religious practices. If their practices align with the teachings of the scriptures, they can be beneficial. However, if one disregards the scriptural guidelines and follows their own arbitrary methods, it is, as stated in the Gita (Chapter 16, Verses 23-24), futile. Such worship neither brings happiness, spiritual progress, nor salvation.

Some devotees seek spiritual guidance by taking initiation from a guru. If the guru is true and complete, their devotion will be fruitful; if not, even this form of worship becomes ineffective.

In this book, The Knowledge of Gita is Nectar, you will discover which scriptures are authentic for worship, the correct method of worship as per those scriptures, and how to follow that path. You will also learn about the true identity of a Complete Guru and from which enlightened soul this knowledge can be obtained.

This book aims to unite people worldwide, who are often divided by religion and conflict. The Gita is not confined to any one religion; it was revealed for the welfare of all humanity, at a time when only the "Religion of Mankind" existed.

My slogan is: -

Our Race is Living Being, Mankind is our religion | Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, there is no separate religion |

Baba Nanak Ji was born into a Kshatriya (Arora) family of the Holy Hindu religion, as the son of Shri Kaluram Mehta. He learned the knowledge of the Gita from Shri Brijlal Pandey and practiced the devotion taught by him. Baba Nanak worshipped Shri Vishnu, Shri Shankar, and other deities, as was customary in Hinduism at the time. He worked at the store of the Nawab of Sultanpur, and every day he would bathe in the nearby River Bein, about half a kilometer from the city.

God reveals Himself to true devotees with pure hearts, and as you will read in this book, based on that same principle, God appeared before Shri Nanak Dev Ji. He imparted Tatvgyan (complete spiritual knowledge) to Nanak Ji, revealing the true way of worship according to the scriptures. To further convince Shri Nanak, God took him to the Eternal Place (Sachkhand), showing him all the universes (brahmands) and explaining the true method of devotion.

After three days, Shri Nanak was returned to earth, and he began to spread the true path of devotion, halting the arbitrary practices of the time. He re-established "Sanatan Bhakti" (Eternal Devotion), based on the teachings of the Holy Gita (Saptshloki Gita).

For true worship of God, having a "Guru" is essential. Following this principle, Shri Nanak Ji began accepting disciples (Shishya) and took the position of Guru himself. His disciples, known as Sikhs (in the Punjabi language), developed a distinct identity. Over time, this group of followers evolved into what is now recognized as a religion.

Unfortunately, conflicts have arisen between Hindus and Sikhs in the name of religion, leading to unnecessary strife and loss of life. This division stems from a lack of understanding and wisdom.

Deliberation: It is essential for anyone who practices bhakti (devotion) to have a Guru. The Guru must be a contemporary one, imparting Tatvagyan (true spiritual knowledge) and the correct way of worship through their own words. The term "Guru" does not merely refer to the physical body but to the soul within that body. Whether the Guru's body is made of the five elements or is in an electronic (video) form, they are known as the "Wakt Guru" (Contemporary Guru).

Among Hindus, many people perform traditional worship without a Guru. Shri Nanak Ji, through the knowledge received from God, corrected these misguided practices. Today, the absence of a true Wakt Guru is evident even among the Sikhs. As stated in the Sukshm Ved (learn more about Sukshm Ved in this book):

Meaning: For those devout Hindus who perform arbitrary worship without a Guru, it is said: "You hold Shri Ram and Shri Krishna in the highest regard, yet even they, despite being masters of the three worlds, sought a Guru and devoted themselves to bhakti. They humbly bowed at the feet of their respective Gurus.

Shri Ramchandra Ji's Guru was Sage Vashisht, while Shri Krishna Ji had Sage Durvasa as his spiritual Guru, with Sage Sandipni serving as his teacher in literacy. If such great figures sought a Guru for their spiritual welfare, on what basis do you expect to achieve well-being through bhakti without a Guru?"
