Hindus do you believe in the Bhagvad Gita?

Question

If you do why do you worship anyone else but Krishna? He says that the Vedic tradition was corrupted and he has come to reveal to Arjuna the right way!
If you want to give water to a tree do you just throw it anywhere or do you put it in the roots?
All hindus should unite under krishna and hindus would be united! You are being divided and ruled when you are in a majority in India!
Why do most Hindus become fence sitters? You have to fulfill your Karma and fight unrighteousness! You cannot be confused and talk like Arjuna did before Krishna's Message and say that you are on neither side for you will be branded a coward and you will also loose your possesions!
Hindus should fight the good fight! Not unnecessary aggression! Like Krishna said, " Fight the good fight and it's a win-win situation If you die you achieve glory and if you win you enjoy the earthly possesions! Donot worry about the consequences!
You claim to be Hindus and act like Buddhists who lost their Tibet!

Answer 1

You are absolutely correct. It is right time for Hindus to unite. The problem is 'ego'. Who will take the lead and why should I listen to him? As you have stated, the British taught the principle of divide and rule and our ancestors have scrupulously adopted it. Everyone wants to be leader without qualification. The people in power deviate minds of common ignorants and always misguide. Everybody has forgotten his 'Karmayoga' contribution. All are after free donations from Govt and at the time of elections, from leaders. Drag money by any way & means and eat drink and enjoy. In such conditions it is very difficult to be united. I agree with your views and respect your emotions. As regards Shreemad Bhagavad Gita, I tell every one coming in contact and suggest to tell to others also. It is the only litterature which is beyond limits of time and space and have no boundaries and bondages of any religion. It is for 'human' for his upliftment at any time, place, creed and colour. If it is followed by everyone scrupulously, future of not only Hindus but of the whole human race is very bright. There are many groups and many people, organizations like 'ISKCON' who are taking Gita to every one in the world. Many of the western population have adopted Gita ways. Hence that day is not far away when 'fear of termination of any particular religion or faith' will take place. Be assured, there will be war over religion and it will be hosted by extremists. But in that war they themselves will be prey of 'Supreme Time' and will automatically surrender to 'Gita'. Hence adopt and profess Gita fearlessly.

Answer 2

If you are a Hindu then why did you insult me on my question...Because of that I thought you were a muslim.





EDIT: LOL If you think that I wish to take Hindus towards cowardice, then you obviously don't know me very well. You have formed an opinion of me by reading just one question. I have actually been abused by the yahoo community for being a fanatic and a bigot. I have had my account suspended 20 times for taking a pro-hindu attitude. Maybe I should locate some of my old previous questions and send them to you so you know better of me. For your info. I have been the most vociferous proponent of Hindu unity and Hindu supremacy. I have always argued the case that Hindus are foolish for practicing the feminine version of Hinduism as opposed to the masculine. I have always wondered the exact same thing: why is it that only some Hindu teachings are followed (such as peace and non-violence) but other teachings are not followed (such as the one you highlighted where Krishna clearly states that it is a sin to commit injustice but it is a greater sin to tolerate injustice and that self defence is a moral duty). Take a look at Hindus. They are not exactly testosterone personified are they???? If one doesn't even have the bottle to eat meat what else can you expect.



By demanding a Hindu renaissance I am not taking Hindus towards cowardice, I am giving them something they can believe in. Take a look at the image Hinduism has. Can you honestly expect Hindus to fight a die for the religion in the current state that it is in??? In order for Hindus to believe in Hinduism we need to reform Hinduism completely and thereby bring out the true beauty and goodness that our religion has to offer.



Your suggestion will not work, because by demanding that Hindus only worship one deity you are further reducing our relgion and are robbing it of its beauty. If you were a true Hindu, you would know that there is only one God anyway. We can call him krishna or shiv or hanuman etc. The deities are only manifestations of one God. Didn't Krishna say "I am the Gayatri mantra"??? The holy book of the Hindus is actually the vedas and the gita is secondary. Also, may I kindly add the worship of one god does not necesarily engender unity. Look at Muslims for example. They have one god but they have been killing each other in places like Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan etc.



Unity will only come if the following happens:



Hindus (this includes buddhists, sikhs and jains) begin to take pride in being Hindu

The left wing political establishment in India is forever destroyed

Hindu education, revival, renaissance and reformation takes place

Hindus begin to consider themselves Hindus first and then worry about caste and creed afterwards

There is the establishment of a right wing media and right wing education



I am a firm believer of hindurasthra and aryavartha

Answer 3

Totally

Answer 4

I unhappily take a note that the question has been grossly misused. Gita is not a religious book of any one religion, it is guide book for all races and religions as to how to live in the world and rise to godliness.



The greatest teaching of gita is detachment. Detach yourself from the world, do ur jobs assuming it is the order of god and I am just an instrumental in the whole affair.



Live in harmony with nature.





Another technique is to wisely work (yoga) so that u do not form layers of karmas around you.



God has promised to re-incarnate and he will, so don't take responsibility an subsequently ego to guide the world.



Act and not react.



Hindus are tolerant that does not mean they are cowards. So avoid using such a nice platform to vomit out one's feelings.

Answer 5

The Gita is not something to believe in.



Ulnlike the Koran or the Bible - it does not dictate dos and donts. Therefore, there is no question of believing the Gita.



The Gita tells of a way of life and some harsh truths of reality.



The best part of hinduism is that it never tells people to do and not to do - it encourages people to learn and act. It teaches that quest for knowledge is eternal.



Now whether a person want to fight - or forgive - or sit on the fence, he is following his own chosen path.

Answer 6

If a human beings trust in the existance of mind then a Hindu always believe in Bhagbat Gita. You are totally confused with Hinduism, Buddhaism and Tibet.

Answer 7

i think yes hindus belive in bhagavat geeta.as they dont show up like kuran n bible thats why it is not popular. otherwise all the contain frm kuran n bible is included in bhagavat geeta n another thing is like as bhagavat geeta is quite bigger than all n a lilbit tought to understand,as one person who knw it frm top to bottum is not known yet thats why v wont make it as geeta geeta n al.otherwise v can.n if v get such a kind of person then there r uncountable peoples who knw each n every adhyay frm it.

n hey buddy if u want to try it then do one thing ask any hindu to change his caste u get ur answer...

Answer 8

Indian culture has been misinterpreted throughout the world.Spiritualism and science run parallel not opposite.

There is seldom any fault in Hinduism rather in the attitude of people.

You have to go beyond the principle 'seeing is believing' and feel yourself.

Answer 9

i'm hindu and i do believe in Gita more than Ramayaan or Mahabharat. because in gita the god him self told how to live a life. it's so great. it teaches u something.

Answer 10

we all believe in the bagavat gita and its preachings but only thing is that we are failed to follow it.



thats it very simple.

Answer 11

It seems that you do not know anythikng about Bhagavad-gita . I am sure that you have not even touched it with a pair of tongs .

Now I willtell you a little about it .

In response to the request of Arjuna to show him the totality of God , Lord Kraihna showed him the viswaroopa and told Arjuna to see all the universe , animate ansd inanimate , and and whatever else he wished to see, all stand there as one in HIS body.

see the following lines:



"Arjuna , see all the unverse ,

animate and inanimate ,

and whatever else you wish to see,

all stand here as one in my body." ...7/ 11.



All that you see around you far and near, are all parts of the same one God .- just like a tree includes the roots , the trunk the branches, the leaves , the flowers and the fruits and not any one of them individually or without any or many of them. It is just like a man with his head , hands, body legs , head ,nose , eyes, ears , fingers, toes and all and not without any of them..On seeing the hand you can imagine the man , see him in your mind .On seeing any part of a man , you can imagine a man.On seeing any part of the tree ,you know it is part of a tree and you can see a tree. if the cosmos is the God , no one is yet born to see the totality of God , the cosmos .You can see only so much of it as your vision could help.That is why Lord Krisihna gave Arjuna a divine eye - the eye of Gnana - Wisdom to see his totality. Since all that is in the cosmos , the universe and the world is God , you can see God in anything and everything .

See the following lines too:

"Arming himself with discipline ,

seeing everything with an equal eye ,

he sees the self in all crestures

and all creatures in the self ."...29 / 6.



"I grant unwavering faith ,

to any devoted man who wants

to worship any form

with faith."...21 /11.

Besides in the seventh teaching , lord krishna himself says that HE is everything and in everything .since the Hindus believe in Krishna they worship everything in which God is present according to kruishna himself .,They trust Krishna much more than you , who has raised the question without knowing even an iota of what is said in Bhagavad -Gita .It is funny to see people raising questrioins about all scriptures without caring to see them and reading them.or without even touching them. It would be good if one reads the scriptures of at least the three major religions of Hinduism , christinity and Islam ,before raising questions or commenting on them.

One may not have to read them all if he / she asks questions just to know about them.

krishna has not asked all the Hindus to fight .If you have any such impression , please erase it ,first ,and please go through Gita once more carefully.

Krishna exhorts everyone to discharge one's own duty as a sacred offering to God without fear or favour and with detachment .For your kind information , he even specifially told that one should confine himself to his own duty even if he could do it imperfectly and shall not do that of somebody else even if he could do it perfectly.He had created four categories of people.viz. 1.those who use their heads (Brains )(teachifg , perfoming vedic rites , astrology , medicne etc. 2 those who use their hearts ( Kings warriors , administrators , judges, law and order enforcers - they need a strong heart and courage ). 3. those who produce food grains, provisions and,distribute them to the people and 4,those who help the three categories above by providing the hard labour needed for the discharge of their functions - they assist them by making the writing materials , the weapons , the transport vehicles , the implements etc needed for war fare , production of food and distribution ,etc .They support the entire society.

OF ALL THESE FOUR CATEGORIES , IT IS THE DUTY OF THE KINGS , ( NOW THE HOLDERS POWER IN THE GOVERNMENT ) to fight injustice and safeguard the society WHENT THE NEED ARISES.and not of evey single individual .The individuals can only provide the logistic support to them.

Read the following lines of gita :

"Better to do one's own duty imperfectly,

than to do another man's well,

doing action intrinsic to his being ,

a man avoids guilt .'...47/ 18 Th teaching ..

What do you want the Hindus to do? Obey the instructions of Krishna or the Mohammed like you ?.

Remember that we are in the kali yuga now .A total of 5108 years of kali has gone and we still have some 1.7 million years of Kali to go.The modern religions have come into existence during the Kali yuga and with them the strife among the people of the world has been intensifying.These religions have committed l;ots of atrocities against humanity by wageing wars for spreading the rligions of kali yuga ., The very birth of certain religions interfereing with the lives of people of the world during the kali yuga leading to wars and disruption of peace and harmony among the peole has started showing signs of the prediction of effect of the last yuga of existence of this planet . .People will fight among themselve s in theneme of religions that have come up fpor destruction, and destroy themselves in the name of God .The religions born during the kali yuga will be responsible for the doom of the world .There will be none even to regret or repent !for it .! If that is the will of God who can stop it ? creation and sustenance is almost over .Only annihialtion is remaining to be done .The modern religions woud accomplish it .Do not expect the hindus to behave like barbarians .They are very highly refined .they donot bite the dog that barks at them.Isalm and chritianity had done everything to eradicate hinduism during the rule of the Muslims and Euroipean invaders and could not succeed .But they diod one good thing for Hinduis .They purged the religion of its weaklings and foolish population.by offering them favours. So the Hindus can thank them also..

Generally people do not seem to be aware of the hindu philosophy .though the hidus have not been showing any interst in letting the world know that since they are not for conversionof anybody to any religons , it will e good fopr theenteoir world if the principles of he religion are made known to all .Hindus themselves have to know a lot about their own religion.
