"I am the Lord of all beings, creator of all things visible and invisible." Whatever your religion, the Bhagavad Gita is a sacred text that teaches spiritual lessons. This Christian translation of the Bhagavad Gita was compiled in 1934 by Swami Ranganathananda Saraswati at a time when he made public statements quoting from it. It is considered to be one of the most significant translations because it emphasizes faith rather than works, saying "the path to salvation is not through good deeds but through faith." In this article we will review what you can learn from reading this epic masterpiece. First, a word of introduction. Swami Ranganathananda Saraswati, born in 1868 AD, was a Hindu Sanyasin who joined the Advaita Vedanta Monastery founded by Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. He was proclaimed "Swami" in 1894 AD at age 25 and founded the Swami Ranganathananda Ashram in 1902 AD for monks and nuns. These two books are his writings: The Gita In English and Meditations on the Seventh Chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. We will look at these books to learn about his thoughts on what he called meditation on God, or God's relationship with humans. One of the statements he makes in the book, The Gita in English: "Those who meditate on Me, by one-pointed mind, with their inner eye of wisdom, see me within themselves. Beyond that there is naught else to be known." This is a very powerful statement. To meditate means to ponder something very deeply and earnestly. To meditate on God, to attempt to visualize Him as best you can. To actually see Him within yourself through direct perception without the aid of your physical senses or any external aid or worldly possession. What this tells us is that God resides inside every man and every woman. We all have the ability to see God within ourselves. This is in fact how Jesus taught us to pray in the Lord's Prayer. "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." We are taught that asking for forgiveness is like asking God to take up residence within us. The Gita captures this concept that we can get God to live inside of us through our thoughts of faith and devotion, through the act of meditation on Him, through hearing His word through scripture, and through prayer itself. We hear His word in scripture (Hear O Israel) and we speak it out loud (Lord's Prayer). We speak the word of God within ourselves as we pray. We can have Him live inside us as He lives inside the blessed Virgin Mary, as He lives inside Jesus Christ. This concept is just as true for those who follow other religions or those who don't follow any religion at all. "If you believe this prayer is from God, then it is from God." So if you believe that this book teaches a way to see God, then it does. If you do not believe but you think it a good book, then it will still teach things that will help lead to your salvation because anything that helps us become better people can be said to lead us back to God. cfa1e77820
