GITA-SHLOKA-4.29 A Krsna conscious person, however, being always situated in the transcendental loving service of the Lord, automatically becomes the controller of the senses. So at the end of life, he is naturally transferred to the transcendental plane of Lord Krsna

TRANSLATION

And there are even others who are inclined to the process of breath restraint to remain in trance, and they practice stopping the movement of the outgoing breath into the incoming, and incoming breath into the outgoing, and thus at last remain in trance, stopping all breathing. Some of them, curtailing the eating process, offer the outgoing breath into itself, as a sacrifice.

PURPORT

This system of yoga for controlling the breathing process is called pranayama, and in the beginning it is practiced in the hatha-yoga system through different sitting postures.

All of these processes are recommended for controlling the senses and for advancement in spiritual realization.

This practice involves controlling the air within the body to enable simultaneous passage in opposite directions.

The apana air goes downward, and the prana air goes up.

The pranayama yogi practices breathing the opposite way until the currents are neutralized into puraka, equilibrium.

Similarly, when the exhaled breathing is offered to inhaled breathing, it is called rechaka.

When both air currents are completely stopped, it is called kumbhaka-yoga.

By practice of kumbhaka-yoga, the yogis increase the duration of life by many, many years.

A Krsna conscious person, however, being always situated in the transcendental loving service of the Lord, automatically becomes the controller of the senses.

His senses, being always engaged in the service of Krsna, have no chance of becoming otherwise engaged.

So at the end of life, he is naturally transferred to the transcendental plane of Lord Krsna; consequently he makes no attempt to increase his longevity.

He is at once raised to the platform of liberation.

A Krsna conscious person begins from the transcendental stage, and he is constantly in that consciousness.

Therefore, there is no falling down, and ultimately he enters into the abode of the Lord without delay.

The practice of reduced eating is automatically done when one eats only Krsna prasadam, or food which is offered first to the Lord.

Reducing the eating process is very helpful in the matter of sense control.

And without sense control there is no possibility of getting out of the material entanglement.

GITA SHLOKA 4.28 Krsna consciousness cannot be attained by charity, being harsh on body, yogas, study of vedas etc. but can be attained only by the mercy of the Lord and His bona fide devotee,10th Aug

GITA SHLOKA 4.28 Krsna consciousness cannot be attained by charity, being harsh on body, yogas, study of vedas etc. but can be attained only by the mercy of the Lord and His bona fide devotee.

TRANSLATION

There are others who, enlightened by sacrificing their material possessions in severe austerities, take strict vows and practice the yoga of eightfold mysticism, and others study the Vedas for the advancement of transcendental knowledge.

PURPORT

These sacrifices may be fitted into various divisions.

There are persons who are sacrificing their possessions in the form of various kinds of charities.

In India, the rich merchantile community or princely orders open various kinds of charitable institutions like dharmasala, anna-ksetra, atithi-sala, anathalaya, vidyapitha, etc.

In other countries, too, there are many hospitals, old age homes and similar charitable foundations meant for distributing food, education and medical treatment free to the poor.

All these charitable activities are called dravyamaya-yajna.

There are others who, for higher elevation in life or for promotion to higher planets within the universe, voluntarily accept many kinds of austerities such as chandrayana and chaturmasya.

These processes entail severe vows for conducting life under certain rigid rules.

For example, under the chaturmasya vow the candidate does not shave for four months during the year (July to October), he does not eat certain foods, does not eat twice in a day and does not leave home.

Such sacrifice of the comforts of life is called tapomaya-yajna.

There are still others who engage themselves in different kinds of mystic yogas like the Patanjali system (for merging into the existence of the Absolute), or hatha-yoga or astanga-yoga (for particular perfections).

And some travel to all the sanctified places of pilgrimage.

All these practices are called yoga-yajna, sacrifice for a certain type of perfection in the material world.

There are others who engage themselves in the studies of different Vedic literatures, specifically the Upanisads and Vedanta-sutras, or the sankhya philosophy.

All of these are called svadhyaya-yajna, or engagement in the sacrifice of studies.

All these yogis are faithfully engaged in different types of sacrifice and are seeking a higher status of life.

Krsna consciousness, is, however, different from these because it is the direct service of the Supreme Lord.

Krsna consciousness cannot be attained by any one of the above-mentioned types of sacrifices but can be attained only by the mercy of the Lord and His bona fide devotee.

Therefore, Krsna consciousness is transcendental.

कैसे मिलन हो तेरा, मोहन ज़रा बता दे Vinod Agarwal Bhajan lyrics - kaise milan ho tera

कैसे मिलन हो तेरा,  मोहन ज़रा बता दे, kaise milan ho tera 

 

कैसे मिलन हो तेरा,  मोहन ज़रा बता दे

मुझको  मेरे कर्म की ऐसी तो न सजा दे 

तेरी इक झलक को प्यारे नज़रें तरस रहीं है

सावन की बदली जैसे कब से बरस रही रही है 

कहीं बन न जाये सागर, पल पल टपक टपक के 

 

तेरी राह में कन्हैया पलकों को यूं बिछाया,

तारें लगे अर्श के पलकों पे यूं सजाया (अर्श=sky)

नहीं पांव होंगे मैले आजा न बेझिझक के 

 

मेरी चाहतों का मोहन न इम्तिहान लेना  (असि ते सारे मज़बूनों में फ़ैल हूँ) 

चाहत में तेरी मुझको आता है जान देना

मैं यूं भी जी रहा हूँ पल पल  तरस के 

 

(मैं ग़म की हर हद से गुज़र जाऊँगी, बिखरना पड़ा तो हंस के बिखर जाऊंगी

तुम्हारी ख़ुशी ही मेरी ज़िन्दगी का मकसद है

और मरना भी तो हंस कर के मर  जाऊंगी

लेकिन प्यारे मुझे किसी भी परीक्षा में उत्तीर्ण होने का कोई chance लगता ही नहीं) 

 

(मैं तो पहले ही हार चुकी हूँ, मेरा चाहतों का मोहन न इम्तिहान लेना, मैं उपासना, साधना, जप तप नियम संयम पूजा पाठ विधि निषेध करूँ, और तभी  तुम मुझ पर कृपा करो, ऐसी बात तो नहीं हैं, वर्ना मेरी बंदगी का बदला तेरी रेहमत नहीं है, तुम तो अहेतु की कृपा करने वाले हो)

 

(अहेतु की कृपा= You shower Your grace without any cause, even if I am not eligible for Your grace)

टेढ़ी सी तेरी चितवन कर गयी है मुझको पागल

नज़रों के तीर हैं काफ़ी करने को मुझको घायल

तरकश को यूं न बांधो,मर जाऊं न तड़प के 

 

(एक तुम्हारी चितवन ही काफ़ी है, घायल करने के लिए, उसमे कितनी अदाएं तुमने अपनी तरकश में रखें हुई हैं , ये नयन, हसन , दसन, तसन, मुस्कान, चितवन, कुण्डलो का पणन , ये गमन, आगमन, नूपुर सिंचन, ये दिव्य आभूषण, ये कितने तीर रखें हैं तुमने अपनी तरकश में )

 

(चितवन =overall personality)

(कोई आहें भरता है, कोई मरता है तेरी अदाओं पर ,प्यारे कुछ तो तरस खाओ, मेरी खामोश निगाहों पर )

 

(मिलता नहीं है कातिलों से कातिलाना अंदाज़ तुम्हारा ,अपनी महफ़िल में बुलाकर चितवन से मार देते हो)    

 

इसलिए तरकश को यूं न बांधो,मर जाऊं न तड़प के 

कैसे मिलन हो तेरा,  मोहन ज़रा बता दे
