1  the Supreme Lord said both you and I have had many Births, Arjun, you have forgotten them while I remember them all  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=1  2  so Lord Krishna is first of all saying that Arjun you have had many births, how many births have we had uncountable, we have been in Maya since uncountable lifetimes and we have wandered from species to species to species, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said “verse”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=27  3  you know Kings of old, they had no remorse about torturing people and the most effective way of torture they would adopt is ducking people in the water, where they feel they are close to death and then release them again,  duck them in the water until the person relents, so this Maya Davi is doing the same to us it's tormenting us and then we say oh my God I can't tolerate anymore, okay here's a rasagulla, little relief, then again getting tormented, okay another rasagulla, here's a relief,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=74  4  and in the process Chaitanya Mahaprabhu says like that soccer ball goes sometimes forward here in the left wing then it comes back to the center, then it goes to the right wing and to the field center, so this soul is sometimes going to Swarg, then coming to Mrityu Lok, going to Narak, going in the various species of life, all of us have had these endless lifetimes  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=112  5  second point, He says Arjun, I have also had innumerable births births, now Bhagavan's birth is the Avatar, so there have been innumerable Avatars, somebody says I've heard only of 10 Avatars, somebody says I've heard of 24 in the Srimad Bhagavatam Puran,  well actually this 10 and 24 is a little sample and Bhagawan’s Avatars are Infinite “verse”,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=142  6  in Srimad Bhagavatam, Shri Krishna tells Raja Muchukund, there are so many avatars of Mine like the waves of the ocean, like for example there is a Yuga Avatar, so in every Yuga there is a Yuga Avatar and  in one Maha Yuga there are four yugas, Satyug Treta Dwapar Kaliyug, so there are four in one Maha Yug and 71 Maha Yugas in one Manvantar, so multiply 4 by 71 284 and then there are 14 Manvantar in one day of Brahma  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=193  7  now start totaling up in one year of Brahma, how many Avatars in Brahma's 100 years, how many Avatars and this is in one cycle of creation and of one Universe, like this, there are infinite universes and the cycles of creation keep on happening,  Srishti Sthiti Pralay, so when we say God is Big, we don't realize the magnitude of the word big because our experience of bigness is Limited  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=232  8  so this Bhagavan possessing infinite opulences has had infinite Avatars, Lord Krishna is saying that Arjun, we both have had innumerable births but there is a difference, there's a difference between Your birth and mine,  you don't even remember your own births, I remember all your previous births and I remember all of Mine as well so this verse establishes the Bhagavatta of Shri Krishna and it also establishes the difference between the jeev and Bhagavan  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=270  9  sometimes people say the jeev itself is Bhagawan, so Shri Krishna is saying Arjun there's a difference, you are Alpagya I am Sarvagya, this jeev is pervading one body, Bhagavan is pervading Anant Brahmands, what is the knowledge that you possess ? you know what you are thinking but do you know what your neighbour is thinking,  you don't know what everybody in this room is thinking and what is the sarvagyata of Bhagavan, He knows what each of us is thinking, not only in this Hilton hotel but throughout the state of Maryland, throughout the country of America, all the countries of the world,  all the planets of this galaxy, all the galaxies of the universe, all the universes of creation, not only what we are thinking right now but what we thought ever since we were born in our infinite lifetimes that is Sarvagyata of the All Knowing “verse”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=332  10  Mundak Upanishad says Bhagavan is Sarvagya and the jeev is Alpagya, knows little, how little this word little doesn't describe the minuteness of what we know,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=426  11  some people went to a restaurant and there was some music being played by musicians in the restaurant, they were playing some old Bollywood numbers so these fellows got to talking, you know,  I recognize the one that they are playing they are just instrumental, this seems to be that one song that Lata Mangeshkar has sung, so they called the waiter and they asked the waiter can you please find out what is the number that is playing, the waiter said, yes sir, he waddled to where the musicians were he asked somebody out there and with an air of victory,  he came back, the question was what song is playing, he Said they are playing violin, Eureka! I know it all  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=446  12  likewise we can say, I know this, I know that but in front of the knowledge of Bhagavan what do we know ? so this Bhagavan is niyamak, He is the implementor of the niyam and the jeev is niyanta (under the niyams),  He is Dharak (upholder), we are the dharyaman, we are upheld by Him, He Is sarva vyapak (present everywhere), we are vyapt (present) in one body, He is all Knowing, we have limited knowledge, this verse is establishing the difference between jeev and Bhagavan,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=504  13  Jagat Guru Shankaracharya has given in his commentary, he says “verse” imagine what strong words Shankaracharya is using Murkhanam, those ignorant people who deny the Divinity of Sri Krishna, this verse is cutting that out  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=550  14  there are three kinds of Advaitis, some of the Advaitis they accept that Shri Krishna, His form is Divine, His name is Divine, He is Par-Brahma, some Advaitis thee say that Shri Krishna is Maya Vishisht Brahman that means that Brahma got affected by Maya and became Shri Krishna and  some Advaitis say that all Nam Roop is Mithya so Shri Krishna's form is also Mithya but Shankaracharya the ardent propounder of gyan marg, an Advait vadi, he is saying “verse” and in the next “verse” commentary he says  I'm quoting from the Shankar Bhashya of the Bhagavad Gita, he says that Bhagavan is Sarva Shakti Sampann, this soul is tiny and Bhagavan is Sarvagya and Shri Krishna is explaining the difference between Arjun's birth and His birth (as Avatar)  Advaitis,  more vide https://bitl.to/4sGq https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br0UTps888U&t=585  Standby link (in case youtube link does not work) God Knows EVERYTHING l The Secret of the Bhagavad Gita Revealed l Shree Krishna l Swami Mukundananda.mp4

1  Those who are of purified intellect, who are aware & have decided that the world is not mine  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=0   2  one husband and wife,  somebody took them to the raceourse and they saw all these horses running around they were allured, people were winning and they said so exciting so they had with them $200, they said "Let's try a little."  They lost it, let's try this little, let's try this and finally they lost everything except for $2, so they were going home with the $2 and there was a casino, husband said to the wife that you go home let me see if I can play a little with these $2   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=9  3  he entered the casino he put the $2 somewhere and it was his lucky one it became $200, he tried again and it became $2,000 and he kept on willing until he had $53,000 so he said "Wow I'm having my winning streak."   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=52  4  Now gamblers they all know that once in a while they have a winning streak so he said "Okay let's put it all on number 13 $53,000."  And that needle roamed around and came at number 12 so he lost everything he came home wife said "What happened?" He said "I lost the $2." Well that is what you lose in any case  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=74  5  we people make a big deal about worldly trials and tribulations but the purified intellect says, it doesn't matter, it's not as important as your mind is making it out to be, so that is the Vishudh-Atma    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=110  6  and then he says vijitātmā jitendriyijitātne who has conquered the self or subdued the mind. jitendriyne who has conquered the senses.  those karm yogis who have controlled vijitātmā ,conquered their mind and their senses   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=127  7  then sarva-bhūtātma-bhūtātmā, “One who works in devotion, who is a pure soul, and who controls his mind and senses is dear to everyone, and everyone is dear to him. Though always working, such a man is never entangled”  https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/5/7/  they see the soul of all the souls in everything, the soul of the souls is Bhagavan so they start seeing God everywhere   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=139  8  once in a Balmukund class one teacher was teaching the students and asked “where is Bhagavan”, so one student said he is in the Radha Krishna Mandir, one student said that he's in our house puja room, one student said that Shri Krishna Bhagavan is in everybody's heart, one student said He is in our bathroom, so the Balmukund teacher got confused,  why did you say that God is in your bathroom, boy said you know the reason is that every morning when my father goes to the bathroom, my mother is already there and he keeps waiting and he says hey Bhagavan when will you get out of here,   so I am sure father knows that Bhagavan is inside  8 actually it's a fact that Bhagavan is not only in the toilet but He is everywhere in this world as well and the utam adhikari, a shresht devotee, is one who sees Him everywhere  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=157  9  in the Srimad Bhagavatam, Vyas ji writes the shresht devotee is one who sees God everywhere and because  they are at such a state, the karm yogis they have purified their intellect they have controlled their minds, they are seeing this world as divine, so even though they do everything they are not bound in their works (karmas)   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=249  10  for example the gopis were not renunciants, they were living in their homes they had children, they had families and yet their state in bhakti was so elevated that Narad ji says they are Acharyas, he says “greatest devotees are like Gopis”,  Narad has written a Bhakti Darshan of 84 sutras and then he says, who are the acharyas of this bhakti, so he doesn't say Prahlad, he doesn't say Ambrish, he doesn't say Prithu, he says “yatha braj Gopika bhav”  take a look at the bhakti of the gopis that means even in the state of karm yog, you can achieve the highest state of elevation, if you keep on improving your mind, the decision of your intellect etc  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=280  11  so the idea here is that you should as a karm yogi try and develop divine consciousness. Material consciousness comes easy, I and my self-interest and that self-interest leads to hatred, love and hate, whoever fulfills it we love that person,  whoever harms it we hate that person, all this comes naturally due to the ego, now we need to break it down as a karm yogi by extending our consciousness I am not alone “verse”   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=341  12  the Vedas are saying there are two personalities in the heart one is the soul and one is the Supreme Soul, that Supreme Soul is a friend of the soul and the Supreme Soul is looking and watching but this tiny soul has its back to the Supreme Soul,  so the Supreme Soul is not interfering and it's like two birds on a tree so this soul is eating the fruit of the tree - likewise we are reaping the karmas of our past actions while in this body so the Vedas say if this first bird turns around to the second bird, if the soul turns around to God all its miseries will cease to be   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=388  13  what is the idea of turning around ? bringing the awareness of God, He is with me, this is one of the important precepts (principals) in the darshan that Kripalu ji maharaj has presented that expand your consciousness,  when you go to the temple you're thinking Bhagavan is there but when you come out, you're thinking Bhagavan is not there, now always learn to live in the consciousness of God at all times, think what I'm doing Bhagavan is watching, so the consequence is we will never do any sin even if your neighbor is not watching, you will never do any sin   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=444  14  one person was going out at night to commit a theft at 12, he thinks you know everybody must be asleep, so he's walking on the street should I do the burglary and the neighbor comes  arey, what are you doing here oh no no,  sorry I was not feeling sleepy that's why I was just taking a walk, now he realized that his neighbor is around & so  should not do anything wrong and if you realize that your spiritual father is around then you'll never do any sin so this is the added advantage of trying to practice this consciousness of being in the presence of God   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2TTh8VTwk&t=505   Standby link (in case youtube link does not work) Feel God's Presence EVERYWHERE- Here's Why It Matters So Much✨🙏 Swami Mukundananda Bhagavad Gita.mp4

The UNTOLD Secret of God's Birth - Where God Really Came From? Swami Mukundananda

The UNTOLD Secret of God's Birth - Where God Really Came From?  Swami Mukundananda


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI Full Text: 1 Although I am unborn and Imperishable and the Lord of All Living Entities, yet I appeared in this world by my Yog Maya power in my Original Divine Form.   When we agree that God has a form, the question arises, how does He get born in this world?  Is it like we human beings are born from a mother's womb?  We reside in the mother's womb where our body develops over nine months and then we manifest. So did He (God) get made in the womb of Devaki ? Or did he come from the outside?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=0 2 Because Srimad Bhagavatam says “verse” that  like the Moon manifests, it doesn't get made, it just manifests.  Likewise, Shri Krishna Chandra Bhagavan manifested in the jailhouse of Kansa.  So if He manifested, He must have jumped in from the window. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=55 3 "No, Swamiji, if Bhagavan had an avatar, if He had a janm (birth), then it must have been from the mother's womb. Arey, for Bhagawan, don't say Janm (birth), say Avatar (descension). Why should we say Avatar?  We Celebrate Janmashtami. When we celebrate Janmashtami, that means Bhagawan had janam, janam means birth, if He had a janm (birth), then it must have been from the mother's womb.  So this question arises and as we will see later on, to resolve this question is critical to bhakti. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=83 4 The answer is that Shri Krishna says Arjun there is a difference. Although you are taking birth I am also taking birth, there is a difference between your birth and my birth, My birth is divine, So I come by the power of of My Yoga Maya. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=126 5 It may seem to the world that I am coming from but that's not the reality. Like for example, when Bhagawan manifested,  so the Bhagavatam states, first of all, Shri Krishna was sitting in the heart, in the mind of Vasudev, He was just sitting there.  He will be the father in this life.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=154 6 And then after that, He was pretending to be sitting  in the womb of Devaki.  So like a worldly mother, Devaki's womb was filling up  for nine months.  And then suddenly it emptied.  And he manifested in front in his six foot form as Vishnu with His Four Arms holding The Shankha Chakra Gada Padma. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=187 7 So this Six-Foot Bhagawan, would It have come from Devaki's Stomach?  Bhagawan has the Sudarshan Disc in his hand.  That Sudarshan Disc is so sharp it would cut anything, with that disc, if he had sat in Devaki's Womb, imagine Devaki's discomfort,  she would had a surgical procedure right there. So Bhagawan was just pretending. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=215 8 And then He manifested and Devaki accepted, you are not my child. I know Maharaj, verse. So she says, that Lord who is all pervading, who is famous in the world as Shri Vishnu,  that is who you are.  You are not my child. You are my father's father's father's father's father's  Manu Ji maharaj's father Brahmanji, his ultimate father.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=246 9 and I also know why you have come, I had prayed and prayed, God, please come as my child but You have come as my father. How will I experience the love of a mother.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=288 10 So she says. Maharaj, please hide this form of Yours. And please begin the Leela. Start your acting, begin the drama.  And that is when Vishnu ji says, all right, I am going to become little Shri Krishna.  And this is what you have to do, Vasudev ji.  That same Bhagawan, he said, I just came to let you know.  So that in future people don't have confusion. That He is the child of Devaki, how can He be God?  Otherwise they will doubt.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=301 11 So Bhagawan Ram did the same thing.  When He manifested to Kaushalya, verse, so in front of Kaushalya, again He manifested in His four arm form, chaturbhuj roop. And Kaushalya also said ,  Maharaj please start Your Leela and then that Vishnu ji took on the form of baby Ram. He said I just wanted to let you know so that there is there should be no confusions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=343 12 6 28 so He became the baby Ram and then the Leela began, so He is doing nara leela, He is pretending to be human, now what does a human child do when it is born ? It cries, so Bhagawan was also going to cry because it is nara leela but before crying He laughs, verse, no baby laughs and then cries, Why is Bhagawan doing that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=388 13 (07:06)  He is doing it just to let everyone know, The drama is going to begin  The curtain will be lifted. And when the curtain is lifted by Yog Maya , the first scene is Rodan thana (crying) The child is crying and Kaushalya says alright the child is born, tell Dashrath ji, the whole world is seeing what are they seeing, that Ram is born from Kaushalya  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=426 14 7 34 the fact is Bhagwan what need does He have to hang upside down in the womb , He is not crazy, He only creates that illusion by His yog Maya and then manifests from the outside.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=454 15 7 53  So that is the All-Powerful God. He says Here, Arjun, I am unborn, Yet I take birth. How? By My Yogamaya.  Our birth is material.  God's birth is Divine.  How does He arrange for it? The Yogamaya.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=473 16 8:26 So he is calling that Yog Maya as atma maya Personal Maya, so everybody has his own personal Maya, Their Maya is limited, they may have ₹1 lakh that is their personal Maya, Indra has got his Maya Indrajal siddhi. And the Maya of Bhagwan is this material energy which is making us all dance, Kam, Krodh, anger, greed, lust, etc. This is the Maya Shakti.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=506 17 9 04 And there is a Yogamaya, Divine Power. Nature of that Divine Power is,  Kartum Akartum Anyatha Kartum Samarthah  He can do whatever he likes.  He can do Contradictory Things.  He can do everything together. by that Yog Maya, God is Both Formless and has a form. By that Yog Maya He is sitting inside us and we have got no perception of Him.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=544 18 Think, Ananda Sindhu is inside but we are unaware.  You touch this 110 Volts and the body gets shaken. And Infinite volts is sitting Inside.  And we do not know.  Even the doctor doesn't Know.  When he applies the stethoscope, he says take a deep breath, even deeper.  Doctor, are you perceiving God sitting Inside?  No perception.  Shree Krishna says, verse .  I cover myself by a curtain of Yog Maya.  So between the soul and Bhagawan, there are two curtains. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=577 19 On Bhagawan side is the Curtain of Yog Maya that hides us from Him.  And on the soul is the curtain of Maya. Now the poor soul is not able to remove the curtain of Maya, how will it remove the curtain of your Yog Maya ? And hence Arjun, nobody is able to know Me. Big problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIJg0NCqXI&t=634 20 Hence Arjun nobody is able to know me, big problem, so the point to not here is  that he (Shri Krishna}  says I (God) come from my Divine Maya (yog Maya)

1  there are different rituals in different religious traditions but our vedas have got a plethora of them and trying to analyze one can become totally and completely confused from the morning the time you wake till the time you sleep  all kinds of rituals are described, people particularly Indians in the West, many of them ask this question, so swamiji these rituals are all useless  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6luRLOryC8&t=0   2  Bhagavad Gita, chapter 3, Karma Yoga, those who are deluded by the operation of the gunas become attached to the results of their actions but the wise who understand these truths should not unsettle such ignorant people who know very little  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6luRLOryC8&t=31  3  Shri Krishna stated, Arjun there are those who see themselves as the doer, and then there are those who see themselves as the non-doer, now the instructions are different for both categories of people,  however those who are illumined and who are seeing they are not the doers, they should not confuse the others and encourage them to perform works in accordance with their level of enlightenment  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6luRLOryC8&t=94  4  like for example people particularly Indians in the west, many of them ask this question, so Swamiji these rituals are all useless, well, you know from one point of view they are, if you are enlightened, they don't have any relevance to you  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6luRLOryC8&t=129  5  कर्माण्यपि संयस्यति, Narad Bhakti Darshan says in this path of devotion just throw them all away  वेदानपि संयस्यति "even the Vedas (sacred Hindu scriptures) will be renounced/discarded".  "केवलं अविछिन्न अनुरागम लभhis means "only uninterrupted devotion/love is attained". No need for following all these rituals / injunctions,  “just engage in pure love for God” so it's true if your mind is attached to God, these rituals are not important,  however that is not the instruction for the masses, because how many people actually have their minds attached to God ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6luRLOryC8&t=152  6  you say all right, the rituals are useless, so what will people do, the little bit that they were doing also they will stop doing, so did you help them or did you harm them ? So we should not confuse the Vedas, the words of God Himself, they are describing these rituals,  you have grown beyond them, congratulations to you, but don't criticize them, they have meaning for people because it is difficult to attach the mind to God, it is easy to do a ritual.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6luRLOryC8&t=199  6  I agree that the ritual ultimately has got less value, you have called Pandit ji, Pandit ji, please come and do puja in my house, now Pandit ji is doing the puja you're sitting and drinking tea, he's doing a ritual, as the person's understanding is that it is some ritual that Pandit ji comes and does, now naturally he is not going to purify his own mind,  but at least he has got Pandit ji to his house to do the puja, for a moment he is thinking that some business of God is going on, at least he is going to make some offering of his there, so something is better than nothing  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6luRLOryC8&t=241  7  that is why the Vedas realized that most people's minds are attached to the world, they need supports to elevate themselves, so all kinds of rituals are described. In our Vedic system, they are innumerable, there are different rituals and different religious traditions  but our Vedas have got a plethora (many many) of them, and trying to analyze one can become totally and completely confused from the morning, the time you wake till the time you sleep,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6luRLOryC8&t=286  8  however, the Vishnu Puran says that these rituals have two goals, the first, the first objective is to always think of God and the second objective is to never forget God - so that is the goal of these rituals.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6luRLOryC8&t=324  9  So now if you have established your mind in God, you're not obliged to follow these rituals, but then don't criticize them because there are those for whom these are the means of purification.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6luRLOryC8&t=367  10  So Shri Krishna says, Arjun, those who are seeing “I am not the doer”, should not confuse those who are seeing themselves as the doer, they should engage them in proper actions prescribed according to the Vedas  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6luRLOryC8&t=382
