How To Conduct Puja

INTRODUCTION

 
It was then that Lord Krishna delivered the electrifying message that remains timeless in its inspiration:

Klaibyam maa sma gamah Partha naitat tvayyupapadyate

Kshudram hrdaya dourbalyam tyaktvottishta Parantapa

 

"Yield not to impotence, O Arjuna, It does not befit you,

Cast off this mean weakness of heart. Stand up."

Let us never forget that the Arjuna in this context is none other than you and me. This particular sloka represents the very essence of the Gita’s message. It speaks of strength. It condemns weakness. It re-emphasizes the Upanishadic pronouncement: "nayamaatma balaheenena labhyaha" i.e. "the atman cannot be attained by the weak." The entire message of the Gita is based on this fundamental principle.
