Srimad Bhagavad Gita (11:55)


English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda


Now the essential purport of the whole scripture, the Gita, which is meant for Liberation, is being stated by summing it up so that it may be practised.

(अधुना सर्वस्य गीताशास्त्रस्य सारभूतः अर्थः निःश्रेयसार्थः अनुष्ठेयत्वेन समुच्चित्य उच्यते)


मत्कर्मकृन्मत्परमो मद्भक्तः सङ्गवर्जितः।

निर्वैरः सर्वभूतेषु यः स मामेति पाण्डव।


English Translation By Swami Sivananda


He who does all actions for Me, who looks upon Me as the Supreme, who is devoted to Me, who is free from attachment, who bears enmity towards no creature, he comes to Me, O Arjuna.


English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda


Pandava, O son of Pandu; yah, he who;

mat-karma-krt, works for Me: work for Me is mat-karma; one who does it is mat-karma-krt-.

Mat-paramah, who accepts Me as the supreme Goal:

A servant does work for his master, but does not accept the master as his own supreme Goal to be attained after death; his one, however, who does work for Me, accepts Me alone as the supreme Goal.

Thus he is matparamah-one to whom I am the supreme Goal-. So also he who is madbhaktah, devoted to me: He adores Me alone in all ways, with his whole being and full enthusiasm. Thus he is madbhaktah-.

Sanga-varjitah, who is devoid of attachment for wealth, sons, friends, wife and relatives, Sanga means fondness, love; devoid of them-.

Nirvairah, who is free from enimity; sarva-bhutesu, towards all beings-berefit of the idea of enmity even towards those engaged in doing unmost harm to him-.

Sah, he who is such a devotee of Mine; eti, attains; mam, Me. I alone am his supreme Goal; he does not attain any other goal.

This is the advice for you, given by Me as desired by you.

Preamble of Namadwaar, Nama Dwaar - Purpose and Plan

Purpose of prayer and who is dear to Lord Krishna by His own words

One can easily attain me by intense loving devotion to me; but not so easily by other sadhanas

God is for all. Each and everyone have the right to attain God. Bhagavan Nama japa is the universal way

His simplicity and purity have inspired many young people to follow the path of dharma

Universal brotherhood will become reality only if we all understand that we are all Children of the same Paramathma – Almighty

Universal brotherhood and peace can be acheived by Chanting the Divine Name of God

He preached the universal brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God to all people.

Real tolerance, real national integration and compassion can come about only through such Mahans who have attained Oneness with God.
