This chapter entitled "Atma Samyama Yoga" or" Yoga of Meditation" gives a wealth of details, explaining not only the technique of Meditation, but also the possible pitfalls & how to avoid them successfully. Though all Hindu Scriptures hint at the Path-of-Meditation as the way to reach the highest possibilities in life, nowhere is the topic discussed so thoroughly as here. A thorough study of this chapter gives ample direction & guidance to a seeker to reach the Highest, through Meditation.
The Chapter 3, entitled " Karma Yoga" is an elaboration of the Hindu ideal of "Selfless Action" first introduced by the famous verse 47 in Chapter 2--Karmanyevaadhikaarasthe-----. After hearing the exposition of various ways of attaining liberation in Chapter 2, Arjuna is really confused. Still deluded, he wanted a confirmation of his desire to quit the war & take-up Sannyasa. So he raises the question : If Krishna feels that the path of knowledge is better than the path of action, why is he being goaded to fight this war? He wanted a clear cut answer to his quest for a righteous life. In reply to this question, the Lord elaborates on the principle of Karma Yoga, the Yoga of selfless action in this chapter 3.
Chapter 9 of Bhagavad Geeta, entitled "Rajavidya Rajaguhya Yoga" discusses the Royal Knowledge of Pure Consciousness, in whose light all conditioned-knowledge are made possible. Krishna Himself calls this Science of the Absolute "the most secret (profound) Science". It is promised in the beginning itself that both speculative & practical aspects of this Knowledge will be told here. Not only the theory of self-perfection but also the logic behind it all are discussed in this chapter. This is the profound Knowledge combined with experience, having known which there is nothing more to be known, & one shall be free from the sorrows of life.
This chapter is an exhaustive handbook of instructions explaining the working of the subtle body & providing some tips to readjust ourselves when the inner mechanism gets chocked up. The One Truth expresses through a world-of-Matter, producing an innumerable variety of life forms. The reason for this multiplicity are the Gunas, Sattva (Unactivity), Rajas (Activity) & Tamas (Inactivity), all born of Prakriti. These three, in different proportions, influence the mental & intellectual caliber of every individual.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

How can TYGA be superior to DHYNA?
In 12th chapter there is verse, in which there is a
clarification about the culmination; of study into
knowledge or wisdom, of wisdom into composure of
mind (DHYANA), of DHYANA into
KARMAPHALATYAGA i.e. detachment from the
results of actions; and of KARMAPHALATYAGA into
peace.
I used to wonder; how simple detachment from results or
fruits of actions could be superior stage just penultimate
to peace i.e. superior to DHYANA or contemplation of
cosmic consciousness or true self! The detachment
appeared simple and pertaining to mundane individual
experience. Moreover, simply getting detached from one
result of one action; could not appear to endow
permanent peace, because one could perform
innumerable actions and each time the question of
detachment would arise.
It is clear however, now, that the detachment has far
deeper and cosmic meaning.
If and when I realize that that I am a part of cosmic
consciousness and KARMA is actually the manifestation
of the universe, then I realize that detachment is actually
not from personal actions, but from the universal action
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR

NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
of the cosmic consciousness! Secondly the detachment is
not
from one or another action, but it is from all possible
actions of individual consciousness including all
subjective realm such intellectual, emotional, instinctual
and physical feelings and actions. It also includes all the
physiological, biochemical and biophysical actions going
no in one’s body or rather being! Last but not the least; it
includes peaceful and loving renunciation of everything
subjective in nature and even the body at the end!
Once this meaning becomes clear, it becomes clear how
DHYNA culminates into KARMAPHALATYAGA and
how KARMAPHALATYAGA culminates into or
sublimates into peace!
KARMAPHALATYAGA here is really the MUKTI or
liberation and it is but appropriate that it is associated
with peace.
Can the all benevolent Lord punish?
In 16th chapter, there are verses, indicating the fruit of
hating the cosmic consciousness (Lord Krishna) in terms
of going into abysmal births and miserable end (GATI).
The meaning of these verses appeared to indicate the
consequences of one’s actions and somewhat punitive
nature of the Lord! This appeared in contrast to the kind
and benevolent nature of Lord, so much emphasized by
many saints. This appeared inexplicable, when one
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
5. 5
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
pondered over the verses in 6th and 9th chapters stating
that
even a sinner of worst kind gets liberation and in verse
18th chapter; stating that ISHAVR resides in every heart
and governs and mobilized the living beings.
Now it appears that the verses in 16th chapter relate to the
ego of a person who separates him/her from the cosmic
consciousness and hence makes one arrogant and hate his
or her own connection with the cosmic self! In such a
condition, the Lord probably implies that he or she would
keep on reverberating in his or her own separated and
hence painful, miserable and helpless state. If you
experience the might of the shackling ego, you would
agree with this! However, after coming into contact with
Gita and getting immersed in Gita; he or she would begin
to reorient himself or herself with the true self or cosmic
consciousness and peace. This also you would agree if
and when you experience!

What is equanimity?
In 9th chapter, Lord says that for him every one is equal
and
He neither loves nor hates (in a personal manner) any
one.
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
6. 6
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
This used be rather perplexing, on the background that
He says that He would punish those who hate Him!
Moreover it appeared absurd to equate good and bad
people!
I now understand that even as Lord can see the unity of
the universe and the universe being present in Him and
He being present in every heart, we do not experience
this divinity residing in every heart, because we do not
see it in our own heart! Hence due our personal biases
and subjectivity we see individuals (including ourselves)
as good, bad, simple, shrewd, cunning, crooked, vicious,
vindictive, gullible, healthy, sick, happy, miserable etc.
Gita implies that it is natural for everyone to evolve in
this realization (because the Lord resides in every heart);
which the Lord shares with Arjuna. All the means
described n Gita (such as NAMASMARAN and many
others not directly and elaborately described in Gita) take
us to this realization.
How are SANYASA and YOGA interrelated?
In 5th chapter, it is said that SANYASA is not possible
without YOGA (SANYASASTU MAHABAHO
DUKKHAMAPTUM AYOGATAH…). This implies
that SANYASA and associated peace devoid of
vacillations is possible if the is loving bond (YOGA) is
preserved. Renunciation with contempt or hatred is not
true SANYASA and not associated with peace!
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
7. 7
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
If you have subtle dislike for you spouse and you decide
to separate, then that is not SANYASA in true sense or
renunciation in true sense! It is merely a reaction of
hatred!
Conversely, YOGA in true sense is bond of love with
absolutely no expectations. YOGA is being free from i.e.
renouncing every possible subjective consideration!
If you like your spouse so much that you cannot bear the
thought of his/her separation, then or you expect
something from him/her then bond of love is not YOGA
or objective impersonal love!
Thus; hatred and subjective attachment; are responsible
for mean, petty, prejudiced, inappropriate, unjust and
suicidal or socially harmful actions; which are followed
by perversion and/or bondage and suffering! This holds
true for every kind of subjective hatred and love.
Lord teaches us that renouncing per se is not true
sacrifice with objective perspective i.e. SANYASA and
getting possessed per se; is not objective love or YOGA.
In the course of evolution you rise above this kind of
hatred or subjective attachment. You learn and realize
the rhythm of life. You learn to enjoy the supreme love
and supreme sacrifice objectively.
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
8. 8
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
Thus SANYASA is rising above all the subjective
framework and getting freed from it; and YOGA is the
absence of resentment and presence of loving fulfillment
(without any expectations) while you are rising!
Further; it becomes clear, that just as SANYASA i.e. true
renunciation; is impossible without YOGA i.e. bond of
objective love, similarly; the YOGA the bond of
objective
love is not possible without SANYASA i.e. renouncing
all ideas, ideals, ambitions, aims, objectives and other
preoccupations; born out of subjective framework of
mind!
In other words, rising into objectivity is truly a self
(subjective) less (detachment and SANYASA) and truly
loving (union with the cosmic self i.e. objective love, or
YOGA) act!
It has been repeatedly said that NAMASMARAN can
help in this!
What is importance of SATVA GUNA with
references to 6th, 7th and 9th chapters?
It is said in 6th chapter that self control (moderation)
helps an individual to attain YOGA. But in 6th, 7th and 9th
chapters it is also said that those who worship me can
attain me irrespective of their conduct.
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
9. 9
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
I think it refers to the fact that in general SATVA GUNA
is near to revelation of truth. But that is not always
apparent
and perceptible to common man’s eye. Hence it is also
said that Lord’s devotee instantly becomes one with Lord
as stated in 9th and 11th chapters!!
This statement of Gita is particularly validated by the
behavior of AVALIYAS, who are nonconformist
realized souls such as Satam Maharaj, Gajanan Maharaj
etc.
