Todays' Quiz: 1. Arjun leaning towards not to fight is dharma. True/False 2. What’s your decision-making process when you find yourself in a situation where you need to make a tough decision?
False He leaned toward not to fight, not because of Dharma but the cause was that there were relatives of Arjuna in all over the battlefield. But Dharma is truth and greater than any of the relations. Maybe I found myself in same dilemma in which Arjuna was and try to seek what's truth untill I discover it. And then I'll lead according to the truth and Dharma.
1. False 2. While making tough decision, I would seek guidance from God & Guru. I would pray and then, take a tough decision. I will try my best to detach myself from the consequence of the decision, seeking influence and strength from God-Guru!
Ans 1 False 2 Right decision can be taken only when we are neutral and when we are in Satvik mode. I talk to my guru in a difficult situation. I believe we shouldn't take any decisions when we are in Rajasik or tamasik mode
Want to commend Swami Mukundananda and the JKYog team for bringing these amazing videos to us. As usual, very engaging way to learn such an important scriptural text!
Thank your Swamiji for explaining and spreading the great wisdom of Bhagavad Gita. These Slokas are so relevant for day to day life. As we so easily quit something if certain things are not in our favour.
Perform your duty sincerely and never abandon no matter how difficult it gets. It’s so wonderful to see how Lord Krishna is building towards higher ideals and helping us grow from within. Swamiji’s explanation as always makes it easy to understand and digest this information🙏🙏🙏 If you missed earlier videos, please go back and listen to them as Lord Shri Krishna helps us acquire sublime knowledge incrementally verse by verse 👍
Jay shree krishna ! Thank you Swamiji for leading us what is Dharma and Adharma also we should not run away from our duty very inspiring and easy way to understand
Radhey radhey Beautiful explanation by Swamiji about Dharma and Adharma. Beautiful videos. Video team keep it up. Ans. False. Beacause of compassion Arjun is not able to face the war. I will follow my conscience( surrendering to God)
1. False 2. I try to figure out doing what will make God happy, since Swamiji says to practise nishkam prem (though that's very challenging to find out sometimes and I fail a lot also) Radhey Radhey!
🙏, I am watching these videos now, as it popped up, thank u. As I am reading Bhagwat Gita the commentaries are helping me get a clear understanding. Guruji I wish to recite the shlokas correctly, but I am unable to due to lack of Sanskrit knowledge...any tips?
If duties are prescribed as per the varnas and gunas of the jiva then we need to fix the education system from the beginning for each individual accordingly. Merit of the soul will be determined by the intensity and authenticity of it's intention/devotion..🙏
Ans no -1 False Ans no-2 If any situation will come in my life to take a tougher decision, I will not loose patience. When I have completely surrender my mind and intellect to God and Guru, I know whatever decision I will take, they are there to take care of every thing.
If U (Deanne Victor), who is not army or police kill someone it will create bad karma, but if US Army kills Osama bin Laden (Terrorist) it will not create bad karma, bcoz by killing terrorist US army is saving many other innocent lives. But if that army kills U without any reason than will create bad karma!!!
When we work with selfish motives, we create karmas, which bring about their subsequent karmic reactions.For example, murder is a sin, and the judicial law of every country of the world declares it to be a punishable offence. But if a policeman in the discharge of his duty kills the leader of a gang of bandits, he is not punished for it. If a soldier kills an enemy soldier in battle, he is not punished for it. In fact, he can even be awarded a medal for bravery. The reason for apparent lack of punishment is that these actions are not motivated by any ill-will or personal motive; they are performed as a matter of duty to the country. God’s law is quite similar. If one gives up all selfish motives and works merely for the sake of duty toward the Supreme, such work does not create any karmic reactions.
Don't represent the character of your God falsely thereby taking his name in vain in other words. If you do the opposite of what Krishna clearly told you to do you bring is name down to nothing. Thus commiting blasphemy. That's my take on it.

If duties are prescribed as per the varnas and gunas of the jiva then we need to fix the education system from the beginning for each individual accordingly. Merit of the soul will be determined by the intensity and authenticity of it's intention/devotion..🙏
Answer 1 : False
Answer 2 : Perform your duty best of your ability without worrying about difficult situations.
👍👍 Radhey Radhey!
Ans no -1 False
Ans no-2 If any situation will come in my life to take a tougher decision, I will not loose patience. When I have completely surrender my mind and intellect to God and Guru, I know whatever decision I will take, they are there to take care of every thing.
How do we know what's our Dharma???
It is not right to resort to inaction rather it would be wise commit to doing our duties as a service unto God.
The battle field is a despicable act
1) False 2) Follow Dharma
👍👍
Answer :
1. False
👍
Ok. So if killing is your Dharma, does that mean performing it won't create bad Karma for yourself?
If U (Deanne Victor), who is not army or police kill someone it will create bad karma, but if US Army kills Osama bin Laden (Terrorist) it will not create bad karma, bcoz by killing terrorist US army is saving many other innocent lives. But if that army kills U without any reason than will create bad karma!!!

1.False
2. To see what's my dharma in that particular situation. Then act out leaving results to God.
Don't represent the character of your God falsely thereby taking his name in vain in other words. If you do the opposite of what Krishna clearly told you to do you bring is name down to nothing. Thus commiting blasphemy. That's my take on it.
