Super Ecstatic Departure Kirtan
uploaded from Mumbai, India

On 21 November 2011 when we were getting ready to depart from ISKCON's Pune temple the devotees were singing a send-off kirtan for us. Seeing a wonderful opportunity to dive into the unlimitedly sweet ocean of Lord Sri Krishna's names, I got out of the soon-to-depart van, asked a devotee for the mridanga drum he was playing, and took the lead of the kirtan. It turned out to be another one of those super-sweet unforgettable kirtans that goes deep into the soul connecting the sincere chanter with the Lord within. Such kirtans transport us beyond this material world into that amazingly wondrous Spiritual Sky.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Why 18 Chapters of Gita for Arjuna?


Dear Gurudeva,
Namaste.

I would like to humbly ask the following questions:

Both Sri Krishna and Arjuna are mentioned by various names in Bhagavad-gita. What is the main purpose? What is the purpose of a prolonged dialog between Lord and Arjuna to fit in 18 chapters? Was the warrior Arjuna slow in his understanding?

Yours in yoga

Answer: To Free Us From Delusion


Different names of Krishna and Arjuna convey different aspects of their personalities. Therefore through these different names we can understand them better. Arjuna did not require to hear the Bhagavad-gita because he is an eternal associate of Krishna. But for the sake of our enlightenment he played the role of a deluded soul so that Krishna could speak the Bhagavad-gita to deliver us from our delusion.
