U. Ve. Sri. Gopal Iyengar - Upanyasams

Bhagavad Gita as it is -

From the eyes of Sri. Ramanujacharya.

"உந்து மதகளித்தன்"

"Undhu Madhakalithan"

"Bagavath Geetha Rathina Mala"

Today's Swamys Upanyasam is the best i have ever heard during these times.

He explained what is Dharma as said in Gita in a very simple format, quoting "Ramo vigrahavan Dharmaha and Dhruva Needhir madhir Mama" and quoting starting word of Chapter one Dharmashekthre and finishing as mama at 18th Chapter to explain Sri Krishnan himself is Dharma. He highlighted the practice of Dharma in all places and in all times is our karthavyam. In nutshell i would like to portrait today's upanyasam as " Bagavath gita Rathna Mala". We are all blessed with this Rathnamala and will be further hearing this in the coming 18 days in depth of this Rathnamala .

Acharyan Thiruvadigale charanam.

Adiyen Madhura kavi Dasan. (Sri. T.A Sampath Swamy)

Sampath Swami has very aptly mentioned the Bhagavath Gita first day introduction speech of our Acharyan as "Bhagavath Gita Ratna Mala".

Our Acharyan has beautifully decoded the Ratnams in that Gita Mala and spread the gems before us. He has described the essence of all the Chapters of Gita in his introduction, specifically singling out the 7th & 8th chapters as they are the Heart of the Gita Sastram as expounded by him. He has a unique technic of drilling into our minds the important matters by repeating them in different different ways. In the end ,our Swami gave us a list of important slokas of each of the 18 Chapters which we should ponder in depth ( to do chintan ). All this, Swami has narrated within half an hour. Acharyan's dedication, involvement and Krupai on us I is amazing indeed.

On the whole, Swami 's introductory upanyasam was extremely enlightening. We are eagery waiting to listen to Swami's further upanyasams daily on Gita Sastram
