Gita reflection Ch 18 verses 69 & 70

29th December 2024


Why do we worship Hanumanji equally with other forms of God? He was primarily a messenger of God and an ardent servant. However, a messenger of God holds a special place in His heart. 

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna states that there is no one more accomplished in His eyes than someone who teaches the knowledge contained within it.

Pujya Gurudev, when he began giving public lectures on the Bhagavad Gita, referred to it as Geeta Gyana Yagna. Typically, the term "yagna" is associated with fire sacrifices in which holy offerings are made to the deity being worshipped.

Gurudev thoughtfully followed Lord Krishna's declaration: "My assessment is that I will be worshipped by those who study the sacred conversation between Myself and you, which is a form of knowledge sacrifice (Gyana Yagna)."

Gurudev explained that in this sacrifice, the fire represents knowledge, while ignorance is what is being sacrificed.
