Chapter XVIII - The Yoga of ultimate liberation (salvation ) through the path of knowledge and self surrender We have come to the concluding most important foundation chapter of our divine Srimadh Bhagavad Gita Chapter XVIII . It is said by our reverential srivaishnava sages, saints, acharyans and renounced mahanubhava yogis, if for some reason, we are unable to comprehend the first to seventeen chapters but able to fully implement the principles enunciated by our dearest Lord SriKrishna of the eighteenth chapter we surely will reach our Lord SriKrishna without any iota of doubt, 100% fixed .In fact many exalted srivaishnava saints ,repeatedly request each one of us to , with full faith, hope and trust to read at least one verse of the eighteenth chapter everyday , then our Lord SriKrishna will personally come to take us back, such is the super power of this most important, beautiful and loving chapter .The most marvellous charma shloka with a sovereign message by our Lord ,that if one is not able to practice Sankhya Yoga, Karma Yoga and any other scriptural injunctions, perform the rites and the rituals, but very lovingly ever, holds on gently to the divine most pink beautiful lotus feet of our Lord SriKrishna with full gratitude , contentment and continuous chanting of Dwaya mantra " Sriman Srinarayanyam charanau sharanam prabhatye, Srimathe SriNarayanaya Namaha " our life here and hereafter is fully secured in the cozy comfort of the lovely embrace of our Lord SriKrishna. This is a word of solemn promise by our sole creator , ruler and master of the entire universe our Lord SriKrishna himself. A promise made by our Lord SriKrishna will forever be adhered by his exalted self, the mighty Himalayas may crumble , mother Ganges may dry but our most beloved Lord SriKrishna has, is and will ever stand by his promise. After this , am very sure, none of us need to worry, final and fixed, we are sure of being blessed with permanent salvation . What a peaceful thought, totally freed from all the shackles of the transient world transported to a lovely , amazing and permanent abode of happiness, peace , truth and goodness .Our Lord advices us that the acts of sacrifice, charity and penance should not be given up but the sense of ownership has to be lovingly surrendered unto our Lord SriKrishna. The doer, the deed and the fruit of action belongs solely to our Lord SriKrishna , none else.Yes, prohibited acts should be shunned totally, their performance will incur sin and increase our karmic load.Each one of us are helplessly drawn towards action depending on our past karmas, our body and soul are the drivers of all our actions, our senses, mind and intellect push us towards performance or non performance of an action and needless to say , pre ordained destiny as per our Lord SriKrishna's assessment, as an eternal examination controller of our life. The karmas sown here will be reaped either in SriParmapadam ( abode of our Lord, permanent salvation) ,heaven, hell or the lowest world and on exhaustion of the merits / demerits back to the grind of repeated births and death. We need to rewind the entire messages of our Lord SriKrishna time and again, understand its true purport, ponder on the three gunas , their effects and to cross over all the three, to fall under the category of the Divine, to avoid the demonic with a barge pole , to lovingly captivate our lord's most beautiful form as also the universal form, to lovingly hold on to our lords lotus feet, to constantly meditate on his holiest of holy names, to find a place at his lotus feet for his eternal loving devotional service and to ensure our Lord SriKrishna is permanently bound with us.Our Lord Sri Krishna finally concludes this most esoteric message of Srimadh Bhagavad Gita should be imparted to all the devotees who yearn for our lord SriKrishna's august company , the person who spreads the holiest of holy personal message of our Lord SriKrishna is permanently enshrined by our Lord in his lotus heart , is most dear to our Lord and without fail, our Lord will come in his most beautiful SriGaruda vehicle with our dearest most beloved mother Sri Maha Lakshmi Amma and lovingly carry us to SriParmapadam.Highest care and caution has to be exercised , that under no circumstances ,should this holiest of holy message be imparted to a person who does not love our Lord SriKrishna, who is wanting of faith , who criticizes our creator and above all who possesses the demonic disposition. This is our lords verdict.Our Lord SriKrishna also mentions happily that those of his loving children who keep sharing his divine most messages imparted in Srimad Bhagavad Gita are dearest of dear in his heart and none in the entire world can do a greater service to our Lord SriKrishna than the devotee who lovingly , in large group of devotees , exchange our lords message with the highest joy as a matter of duty and not as a compulsive chore to be got over with.Our Lord finally asks Arjuna whether he has listened and understood his divine most discourse and now, whether he is willing to fight and terminate the evil doers as a medium of our Lord.Arjuna with total respect and gratitude confirms to our Lord SriKrishna that after hearing our Lord SriKrishna's divine message , his doubts stand shredded and " HE IS READY TO ATTACK THE EVIL MINDED DURYODHAN WITH ALL HIS MIGHT WITH OUR MOST BELOVED SRIPARTHASARATHY , OUR MASTER OF ALL THE UNIVERSE .Sanjaya with tears of joy in his eyes , conveys , that our Lord in his supreme compassion deemed him fit to witness and narrate the entire most sovereign gospel of our Lord. He lovingly conveys wherever there is Arjuna and our Lord SriKrishna there will be VICTORY, VICTORY AND SUPER VICTORY. Is this a conclusion of our Lord SriKrishna's message? Or a beginning? Please decide for yourself.My only prayer to our Lord SriKrishna, master of the whole universe, is to bless each one of us, with an opportunity to ever and ever serve our divine consort in total bhakti ( devotion ) and prapathi ( surrender ) .May we ever be bound in the divine union with our Lord SriKrishna. May our individual jeevathma reach the supreme abode of our parmaatma, our most beloved SriKrishna in his eternal loving service as most ardently desired by our cosmic master Lord SriKrishna. Om Tat Sat.Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.
