159Just What is the Bhagavad Gita?
The Purpose of Bhagavad Gita
The purpose of Bhagavad Gita is to deliver mankind from the darkness of material existence. Every one of us is in difficulty in so many ways. Just as Arjuna was in difficulty because of having to fight the battle of Kuruksetra. Arjuna surrendered to Krishna and consequently the Bhagavad Gita was spoken.
Not only Arjuna, but every one of us is full of anxieties because of this material existence.
We are trying to exist here in the material world but the atmosphere of the material world is nonexistence. Actually we are not meant to be threatened by nonexistence.
Our existence is eternal. But somehow or other we have been put into this temporary material world and because of this we are threatened with nonexistence.
Out of so many human beings who are suffering, there are only a few who are actually enquiring about their position, questioning what they are, why they are put into this difficult position, and so on. Unless one comes to this point of questioning his suffering, unless he realizes that he does not want to suffer, but rather he wants to find a solution to the suffering, then he can not be considered a perfect human being. Human life begins when this sort of enquiry is awakened in one's mind.
Those who have come to this awakened position of questioning why they are suffering and who have realized they do not want to suffer, they want a solution to the suffering, are the proper students for understanding Bhagavad Gita. To be successful the sincere student should also have a firm respect for the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Arjuna is the perfect example of such a qualified student of the Bhagavad Gita.
The reason Krishna comes to the material world is specifically to re-establish the real purpose of life when mankind in general has forgotten this purpose. Krishna is very merciful to us, it is out of His mercy that He spoke the Bhagavad-gita, making His friend Arjuna the first student.
As Arjuna was an associate of Krishna he was above all ignorance. But just so Krishna could speak the Bhagavad Gita to him Krishna put Arjuna into ignorance on the battlefield of Kurukshetra so that he would question the Lord about the problems of life so Krishna could answer these questions and explain everything for the benefit of future generations of human beings. With this knowledge given by Krishna to Arjuna on the battlefield men can act accordingly and perfect their mission of human life.
The Subject of Bhagavad Gita
The subject matter of Bhagavad Gita explains the science of God by covering five basic truths:
- The controller [isvara]
- The living entities [jivas]
- Material Nature [prakrti]
- Time [kala, the duration of existence of the whole universe]
- Activity, work [karma]
In this world every living entity is controlled. If a living entity says that he is not controlled but that he is free, then he is insane. We are controlled in every aspect of our lives, at least in the conditioned [non-liberated] state.
So in the Bhagavad Gita the subject matter deals with the isvara, the supreme controller and the jivas, the controlled living entities, prakrti (material nature) and time (the duration of existence of the whole universe or manifestation of material nature) and karma (activity).
From Bhagavad Gita we can learn what God is, what the living entities are, what prakrti is, what the cosmic manifestation is and how it is controlled by time and what the activities of the living entities are.
In the Bhagavad Gita it is established that Krishna, the Supreme Godhead, Brahman or supreme controller or Paramatma–you may use whatever name you like–is the greatest of all. We living entities are in quality like the supreme controller. For example Krishna is the supreme controller. He has control over the universal affairs, over material nature as will be explained in later chapters of Bhagavad Gita. Material nature is not independent, she is working under the direction of the Supreme Lord. So we, the jivas, or living entities are accepted as being part and parcel of the supreme controller, isvara, Bhagavan, Lord Krishna, and as such the living entities have all the qualities of the Supreme Lord in minute quantities. A particle of gold is also gold. A drop of water from the ocean is also salty, similarly we the living entities, being part and parcel of the supreme controller, have all the qualities of the Supreme Lord in minute quantity, because we are minute isvaras, subordinate isvaras. We are trying to control nature, and this tendency to control is in us because it is in Krishna. But although we have the tendency to lord it over the material nature, we should know that we are not the supreme controller. This is explained in Bhagavad Gita.
The world revolves because every living being thinks that he is the lord and creator of the material world. Material consciousness has two psychic divisions. One is that "I am the creator," and the other is that "I am the enjoyer." But actually the Supreme Lord is both the creator and the enjoyer, and the living entity, being part and parcel of the Supreme Lord is neither the creator nor the enjoyer , but a cooperator. He is the created and the enjoyed. For instance a part of the machine cooperates with the whole machine; a part of the body cooperates with the whole body. The hands, feet, eyes, legs and so on are all parts of the body, but they are not actually the enjoyers. The stomach is the enjoyer. The legs move, the hands supply food, the teeth chew and all parts of the body are engaged in satisfying the stomach because the stomach is the principle factor that nourishes the body's organization. Therefore everything is given to the stomach. One nourishes the tree by pouring water on the root and one nourishes the body by feeding the stomach.
Similarly, the Supreme Lord is the enjoyer and creator and we, as subordinate living beings, are meant to cooperate to satisfy Him. This cooperation will actually help us, just as food taken by the stomach will help all other parts of the body.
If the fingers of the hand think that they should enjoy the food themselves, they will be frustrated. The central figure of cooperation and enjoyment is the Supreme Lord, and the living entities are cooperators. By cooperation they enjoy. The relation is also like that of the master and the servant. If the master is fully satisfied then the servant is satisfied. Similarly the Supreme Lord should be satisfied although the tendency to become the creator and the tendency to enjoy the material world also are there in the living entities because these tendencies are also in the Supreme Lord who has created the manifested cosmic world we see before us.
We shall find, therefore, in the Bhagavad Gita, that the complete whole is comprised of the Supreme Controller, the controlled living entities, the cosmic manifestation, eternal time and karma, activities and all of these are explained in the Bhagavad Gita. All of these items taken together completely form the complete whole, and the complete whole is called the Supreme Absolute Truth. The complete whole and the complete Absolute Truth are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna. All manifestations are due to His different energies. He is the complete whole.
The Essence of Vedic Knowledge
Bhagavad Gita is the essence of all Vedic knowledge. Vedic knowledge is not a question of research. Our research work is imperfect because we are researching things with our imperfect senses. Bhagavad Gita states that we have to accept perfect knowledge which comes down by parampara, disciplic succession, beginning with the supreme spiritual master, the Lord Himself, and handed down to a succession of spiritual masters.
Arjuna, the student who took lessons from Lord Sri Krishna, accepts everything that He says without contradicting Him. One is not allowed to accept one portion of Bhagavad Gita and not another. No. We must accept Bhagavad Gita without interpretation, without deletion and without our own whimsical participation in the matter.
The Gita should be taken as the most perfect presentation of Vedic knowledge. Vedic knowledge is received from transcendental sources and the first words were spoken by the Lord Himself. The words spoken by the Lord are different from the words spoken by a person of the mundane world who is infected with four defects. A person of the mundane world is sure to:
- Commit mistakes
- Is invariably illusioned
- Has the tendency to cheat others
- Is limited by imperfect senses.
With these four imperfections one can not deliver perfect information of all-pervading knowledge.
Vedic knowledge is not imparted by such defective living entities. It was imparted unto the heart of Brahma, the first created living being in this universe and Brahma in turn taught this knowledge to his sons and disciples as he originally received it from the Lord.
All of this, and much more, is clearly described in Bhagavad Gita and if we properly utilize the instructions of Bhagavad Gita then our whole life will become purified, and ultimately we will be able to reach the destination which is beyond this material sky.
The ultimate destination is called the sanatana sky, the eternal spiritual sky. In this material world we find that everything is temporary. It comes into being, stays for some time, produces some by-products, dwindles and then vanishes. This is the law of the material world, whether we use as an example this body, or a piece of fruit or anything. But beyond this temporary world there is another world of which we have information. This world consists of another nature which is sanatana, eternal, and the Lord is also described as sanatana in the Eleventh Chapter. We have an intimate relationship with the Lord and because we are all one–the sanatana-dharma or sky, the sanatana Supreme Personality and the sanatana living entities–the whole purpose of Bhagavad Gita is to revive our sanatana occupation, or sanatana-dharma, which is the eternal occupation of the living entity. We are temporally engaged in different activities, but all of these activities can be purified when we give up all these temporary activities and take up the activities which are prescribed by the Supreme Lord. This is called our pure life.

Jai Shree Krishna
If we all know this world is all about suffering then why do we bring new lives into this world. Why make new lives suffer. I feel bad that I have brought my children into this world of suffering. Had I known what I know now I would not have done so.
i want to join in iskon and what are the rules and regulations
Hare Krishna Madhudvisa Prabhu !
prabhuji,while discussing about the Hare Krsna perspective on life with other people
over a period of time,which is definitely addressing the real problems of life :birth ,
diseases,old age and death and other sufferings,these people have posed me the
following questions :1.why did GOD create old age and death ?
2.wasn't diseases enough suffering to teach lessons to the conditioned souls ?what i gauged from their attitude is that the conditioned souls have a very strong desire
to live independently from GOD.they have a strong desire to enjoy things of the material
world and not be enjoyed by GOD or anyone else.I replied from the hare krishna perspective but they were adamant and probably they
dont want to surrender to anyone be it GOD or anyone else.so prabhuji ,what would you say to this ?
probably you have answered these questions on many occasions but if you can
find something different to respond to this then please do so.
I look forward to your response.Hare Krishna !

Hare Krsna,
Prabhu I could not und
erstand this line,
"The world revolves because every living being thinks that he is the lord and creator of the material world."
Is this line reffering to the physical world or the mentality of people for which the material world continue to exist? -
Very well explained
hi fine thanks if people know that krishna is friend of all people
and his knowledge is all wealth and happiness. -
i like this
Dear Sir/Madam
Briefly, I am East Indian from the republic of Trinidad&Tobago, presently
68 yrs of age existing in England.
I have no dislike to Class, Caste, Race, or any religious denomination.
However I dislike the caste system practiced anywhere in the world.
Most of the East Indians living in Trinidad came as indentured labourer and at that time no one was Brahmin, as far as I am aware, but we tried to practice a caste system.
Coming to England I tried to understand Hinduism, one way by reading the Gita, this became to complicated and gave up about 25 yrs ago.
I presently have a certain amount of dislike to the caste system and this has always been my main interest.
The levels of inequality in India and the savage exploitation by some Indians towards the majority I find distasteful in 2011.
Although it's a person of African decent who gave us political freedom, the majority of Indians living on the island played a game called no losers amongst the money class.
When the colonial masters left the Indian did not care if the Indians learn their mother tongue or not,"why, because they played the money game, and were the new masters.
They influenced a misguided view of Hinduism primarily based on fear, by keeping the correct aspects of this teaching to a limited few to retain the fear face factor and the superficial caste system in full working order.
Today were saying prayers or pooja in a language we dont understand, Sanskrit, and still playing the money game.
In my opinion the African person will share a piece of bread with anyone, the Indian will not give a piece of roti if he cannot get a bag of flour from you.
I hope you will try and translate the Gita so interested parties all over the world will have a true understanding.
My Indian Origin is Sikh, however we were told we are Hindus, because it is profitable for the ruling class to retain their superior position.
This is my view subject to right information about the hidden secrets practiced in Hindism.In my opinion their should be no secrets in anyone's search for salvation.
Thank you -
Hare Krishna,

Hare Krishna Prabhuji,
this was probably the first time I have seen anybody explain the purpose of the Bhagavad Gita so beautifully. I thank you for spurring us on to read till the end, with patience.
I see the Lord's grace dawning on my life to resort to Bhagavad Gita, to see through pressing materialistic situations.
I am grateful to you for your email and shall look forward to all your future communications.

The Perfect Renunciation Chapter 18:64-78 & The Teachings of Lord Caitanya Chapter 32 when matted together make sense!
BG 18.64: Because you are My very dear friend, I am speaking to you My supreme instruction, the most confidential knowledge of all. Hear this from Me, for it is for your benefit.
"You have the highest conception of the pastimes of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa," Lord Caitanya continued. "Therefore you are seeing Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa everywhere."
BG 18.66: Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.
Rāmānanda Rāya replied: "I request that You not try to hide Yourself. I understand that You have accepted the complexion and mode of thinking of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī and that You are trying to understand Yourself from the viewpoint of Rādhārāṇī. You have actually advented Yourself to take this point of view. Although You incarnate mainly to understand Your own self, You are at the same time distributing love of Kṛṣṇa to the world. Now You have personally come here to deliver me. Please don't try to deceive me, I beg You. It is not good for You."
BG 18.67: This confidential knowledge may never be explained to those who are not austere, or devoted, or engaged in devotional service, nor to one who is envious of Me.
Being very satisfied, Lord Caitanya smiled and showed Rāmānanda His real form as the combination of Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. Thus Lord Caitanya was Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself with the external features of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. His transcendental ability to become two and then to become one again was revealed to Rāmānanda Rāya. Those who are fortunate enough to understand Lord Caitanya as well as the Vṛndāvana pastimes of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa can be able, by the mercy of Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī, to know about the real identity of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
BG 18.68: For one who explains this supreme secret to the devotees, pure devotional service is guaranteed, and at the end he will come back to Me.
Upon seeing this unique feature of Lord Caitanya, Rāmānanda Rāya fainted and fell on the floor. Lord Caitanya then touched him, and he came to his senses. Rāmānanda Rāya was then surprised to see Lord Caitanya again in His mendicant dress. Lord Caitanya embraced and pacified him and informed him that he was the only one to have seen this form. "Because you have understood the purpose of My incarnation, you are privileged to have seen this particular feature of My personality," the Lord said. "My dear Rāmānanda, I am not a different person with a fair complexion known as Gaurapuruṣa. I am the selfsame Kṛṣṇa the son of Mahārāja Nanda, and due to contact with the body of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī I have now assumed this form. Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī does not touch anyone but Kṛṣṇa; therefore She has influenced Me with Her complexion, mind and words. In this way I am just trying to understand the transcendental flavor of Her relationship with Kṛṣṇa."
BG 18.72: O son of Pṛthā, O conqueror of wealth, have you heard this with an attentive mind? And are your ignorance and illusions now dispelled?
The fact is that both Kṛṣṇa and Lord Caitanya are the original Personality of Godhead. No one should try to eliminate Lord Caitanya from Śrī Kṛṣṇa. In His form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, He is the supreme enjoyer, and in His form of Lord Caitanya, He is the supreme enjoyed. No one can be more superexcellently attractive than Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and but for Śrī Kṛṣṇa, no one can enjoy the supreme form of devotion, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. But for Śrī Kṛṣṇa, all Viṣṇu forms are lacking this ability. This is explained in the description of Govinda in Caitanya-caritāmṛta. There it is said that Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is the only personality who can infuse Śrī Kṛṣṇa with transcendental pleasure. Thus Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is the chief damsel of Vraja in love with Govinda, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
BG 18.73: Arjuna said: My dear Kṛṣṇa, O infallible one, my illusion is now gone. I have regained my memory by Your mercy. I am now firm and free from doubt and am prepared to act according to Your instructions.
"Please rest assured that I have nothing to hide from you," Lord Caitanya told Rāmānanda. "Even if I do try to hide from you, you are such an advanced devotee that you can understand all My secrets. I request that you please keep this a secret and do not disclose it to anyone. If it were revealed, everyone would consider Me a madman. The facts which I have disclosed to you cannot be understood by materialistic people. When they hear of this, they will simply laugh at Me. You can understand this yourself and keep it to yourself. From a materialistic point of view, a devotee becomes mad in his ecstasy of love for Kṛṣṇa. Both you and I are just like madmen. So please don't disclose these facts to ordinary men. If you do, they will surely laugh at Me."
BG 18.75: By the mercy of Vyāsa, I have heard these most confidential talks directly from the master of all mysticism, Kṛṣṇa, who was speaking personally to Arjuna.
Lord Caitanya then passed ten nights with Rāmānanda Rāya, enjoyed his company and discussed the pastimes of Kṛṣṇa and Rādhā. The discussions between them were on the highest level of love for Kṛṣṇa. Some of these talks are described, but most of them could not be described. In Caitanya-caritāmṛta this has been compared to metallurgic examination. The metals compared are discussed in the following sequence: first copper, then bronze, then silver, gold and at last touchstone. The preliminary discussions between Lord Caitanya and Rāmānanda Rāya are considered to be like copper, and the higher discussions are considered to be like gold. The fifth dimension of their discussions, however, is considered to be like touchstone. If one is eager to attain the highest understanding, he must begin with an inquiry into the differences between copper and bronze, then silver and gold and so on.
BG 18.76: O King, as I repeatedly recall this wondrous and holy dialogue between Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, I take pleasure, being thrilled at every moment.
The next day Lord Caitanya asked Rāmānanda Rāya to allow Him to return to Jagannātha Purī. "We can remain together the rest of our lives at Jagannātha Purī and pass our time in discussing Kṛṣṇa." Lord Caitanya then embraced Rāmānanda Rāya and sent him to his own place. In the morning the Lord started on His journey. He met Rāmānanda Rāya at a temple of Hanumān on the river bank. After visiting the temple of Hanumān, He left. As long as Caitanya Mahāprabhu remained at Karpūra, all kinds of people met Him, and by His grace everyone became a devotee of the Supreme Lord.
BG 18.77: O King, as I remember the wonderful form of Lord Kṛṣṇa, I am struck with wonder more and more, and I rejoice again and again.
After Lord Caitanya's departure, Rāmānanda Rāya became overwhelmed due to his separation from the Lord, and he immediately decided to retire from service and meet the Lord again at Jagannātha Purī. The discussions between Rāmānanda Rāya and Lord Caitanya deal with the most concentrated form of devotional service. By hearing these discussions one can understand the pastimes of Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa as well as the confidential role played by Lord Caitanya. If one is actually fortunate enough to have faith in these discussions, he can enter into the transcendental association of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa.
BG 18.78: Wherever there is Kṛṣṇa, the master of all mystics, and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality. That is my opinion.
Hare Krishna,
Sir i am very happy to see and join a community which still follows the teachings of krishna.Your letters are a very powerful medium to provide knowledge on spiritual and moral values. But sir we only discuss about Gita and its teachings. Can't we have some articles related to sanatan dharma(Hindu dharma). I mean to say that there is so much to be discussed about god.Also sir I can't be sure about one thing that " how we, who are from kalyuga can follow all these teachings. Its almost impossible to apply all the krishna teachings to our life?"
Please pardon me if this comment is some what out of focus.Hare krishna
Thank you for the valuable information. I've enjoyed reading the articles. The reason why I came here is to find out more the deep spiritual understanding of the wisdom that connects Krishna Absolute Reality/Love with the Abrahamic Faith that promotes the Ultimate Truth or shall I say Absolute Reality. In the Arabic term it is called Tawheed/Onness of God. I hope this blessed platform will enlighten me with some of that wisdom. According to wikipedia Tawheed is translated as "single and absolute truth that transcends the world; a unique, independent and indivisible being, who is independent of the entire creation".
From what I've learnt or understood so far on reading Bhagavad Gita which is not a lot since my background is different I must admit that the Holy knowledge of this great wisdom has helped me understood that all faiths are Universal and the Truth is One just like a pie. Divide it and you do not get the full picture.
Abraham peace and blessings be on him who is our Father and the Father of Monotheism have a closer or shall I say connection with all faiths because of the wisdom that he thought which is to Know the One/Absolute Reality through the Intellect and understanding. Sadly this aspect has been lost and the only way to attain this is through the Universal teachings of the Absolute Truth/Reality. In other words the brotherhood of Mankind depends on the teachings of the Absolute Reality thought by our father Abraham(as).
I hope to learn more about this Universal Wisdom from how other faiths teach it which I personally believe is the way forward in this century. Coming from Abrahamic background with the wisdom of Mohmammed(as) brotherhood of humanity and Universal Ethics is more important to me. That is why I believe that Krishna Love is Universal as we are all part of one Universal Family with Universal Ethics.
Thank you with Universal Love.
Hello sir , My name is Shrinaath Paravasthu , i have read your article with vivid interest . While going through the article the following doubt arouse . If krishna is both the creator and the enjoyer , humans are just co-operating then if i cut a tree then i'm not doing it , i'm just cooperating with the god . Then where will the question of sin ever come and the resulting Karma for future births . Pl pardon my ignorance if anything wrong was asked .
Maananeeya Madhudvisa Dasa mahaneeya,
Manahpoorvaka Namaskruthi sweekuru.
It is always gives me immense pleasure to know about Gita. It is unlimted and anantha vignana Bhandagara for the mankind of all times.
I am to request you one thing. There are many Indian Languages in various parts of India. English is some what difficult to read and understand things to many Indians especially when it pertains to Philosophy or aadhyaathmika paribhasha.
I am from Andhra Pradesh State in India. MY mother tongue is Telugu. Like wise, there are other major Indian Languages. If the script or letters from your Organisation are translated in the native languages and forwarded, the purpose will be fulfilled to the maximum extent. Ofcourse, I can be able to understand but the meanings are bit conplex in English. I trust in the present day of modern technology the translation is not a very difficult one.
My intention is only to suggest that the native language will reach very easily to the heart than the others.
Try to send me in Telugu and if it is not possible continue the usual system.
May the divine spirit of Parama Bhagavatothama Krishna bhagawan will give you more powers to reach the un-heard millions of Gita Sasramsa.
Yours in Krishna charana seva.

Thanks again!
Thanks for the article. I really enjoyed reading the article. I am reading Bhagvad gita from a while.The whole purpose of lord Vishnu is to engage our self. He (Vishnu) is there in everybody then how he can instruct MAYA to control on us & involve us in unethical things.…I am confused now..Please help me in understanding this..
Thanks ,

Hare Krishna prabhu….it was a great experience reading this article…i have loved rama and krishna since a long time now,and particularly enjoying listening to devotional songs of srirama…i want to become a devotee of srirama and shrikrishna…i hope i could achieve lord rama ….jai shri rama..
Hi! I'm struggling to grasp the truth! I really enjoy these articles but I also have some questions that hopefully could be cleared up!
So we are in a material existence, but the atmosphere of the material world does not exist. What does "atmosphere" mean? I don't understand what this is saying.And how does this threaten our existence? Because if we are present in a temporary world, and this world vanishes then we vanish too?
Is the main reason we suffer because we are in darkness?
What is the purpose of life that Krishna presents?
and one last question! (sorry)
If we are controlled, then why are we not already perfect?
Thank you! Hope that isn't too much!

Hare Krishna, Thanks so much, I am really feeling very happy to subscribe this newsletter. I have received the newsletter on Just what is the Bhagavad Gita? But I want to understand all the things, but slowly. As you said next news letter will explain about Sanatana Dharma, after some of these type of newsletter, will you send the complete BG as a newsletter? with full of explanations examples?
Thanks again..hare krishna -
After Arjuna surrendered to Krsna, what was the message the Lord gave thereafter? That can be found in the Teachings of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the message Nimai Pandit gave to Sanatana Goswami. & what was that?
This is a nice article of BG. I would suggest that if you mention the glories of Srila Prabhupada,the only Saviour of the entire universe. This would automatically inspire everyone to take up the path of eternity. May this site go on for time eternity.

Shree Krishna Sharanam Namaha!Hardik Dhanyavad Prabhuji for sending this valuable article ( message of Gita).Thanks for considering my interest in Bhagvad Gita. Pl keep sending such articles. It will keep me in touch with God. When I see ur mail I feel god knows me, he cares me & will help me out from this material world.
Prabhuji,I & some of my relatives are working for Hindu revolution,The Sanatana Organisation & HJS to save our religion, temples, epics, tradition, festivals etc. which seems to be on the path of destruction or disappearance by todays situation and Govt. activities. What do you think about it are we on Right or Wrong path?
Hi Madhudvisa,
Thank you so much for the newsletters to date.
I'm really enjoying them.
I'm 51 years old, and and after some years with Buddhism, I found that it was a little too austere for me, and I wanted to return to Krishna.
I'm glad to be back and am feeling the immediate benefits.
I live in Austrlalia but have never been to a temple, although have attended quite a lot of Kirtan.
The letters are helping greatly with reassurance of Krishna.

hare krishna,
dandapath prabhu thanks for all these helps.bcos of study i am not able to associate with devotees.so only ur mail keeps me in touch with spirituality .once i started receiving this mails i ve not yet broken my chanting also . so thanks once again prabhu -
Hare Krishna Prabhu. What great nectar to read. Like Arjuna, I myself have to surrender to Lord Krishna, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead,and except Instruction. My only desire is devotional service.
hare krishna
I am thankfull to god who put me on this planet as a human being.He given me a chance to purify myself.I think for every action there is a reaction. No body can escape from the reactions.that is called karma-fal.But if u are devotee of shri krishna then u are free from this karma-fal. -
In Bhagavad-gita, Krsna instructed Arjuna to simply surrender to him & achieve Mukti. In the Teachings of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu who is Krsna himself instructed Sanatana Goswami to be situated in his original constitutional position as an eternal servant of God & achieve Bhakti.
I'm not use to read that much now, but love concise &/or summary version. I
used to love to read alot when I've plenty of time. I love to vview the darshan live online while I chant. Haribol! bk. Mark -
Hare Krishna Prabhu
I offer my obeissances to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada.I ve read this discourse which u have sent. Please continue sending me your emails. Take me under your wings and guide me way back my home. Am still a conditioned soul who has gone astray. Still a materialistic person even after coming to temple every weekends.
I request you to give me some guidance on this matter. Suggest me a good way for me stop drinking tea. Every day I take tea twice, and am not able to stop it inspite of taking great efforts. Why is that am so weak in my determination. Give me some great vision that will inspire me to quit drinking tea.

Hare Krishna Bharath,
May I suggest that you purchase some de-caffeinated tea. It is the caffeine in tea that is objectionable since it is an artificial stimulant, a mild drug actually. Herbal teas are also available and are some promote bodily health. In this way you may have the satisfaction of enjoying a hot beverage, but not be outside of Srila Prabhupada's request that devotees avoid all varieties of intoxication.-
Hare Krishna Sarva Prabhu
Thank u for your valuable suggestion. Shall look for Herbal tea in the market. I will carry it to my workplace also. I will reply to you, if i feel the difference.
All glories to the Lord

Hare Krishna Madhudvisa dasa. Thank you so much for your introduction about what is Bhagavad Gita. I have enjoyed reading every bit of it, being brought up from a Hindu Bengali family, I have never been inspired so much about our Vedic connection which is so eternal and yet so near to all of us.
One thing I sometimes wonders about, what people think when disaster strikes and masses of people die in earthquake, hunger,killing in the war. It saddens and we think why our almighty God did not protect us and people think where is our God? I guess we all are suffering in this world, which is vile,meaningless, unjust, and so cruel sometimes. It seems we can't control all these problems by our own effort but we can change our direction and turn to God for forgiveness and salvation. World is full of darkness and we don't know, what might happen next.
Please explain me a bit more about, why we are suffering like this. Is it due to our past karma or any other higher purpose beyond it. With my humble obedience to God and all Hare Krishna followers.
Hare Krishna Prabhuji,
I have recently come in association with ISKCON.
There words and newsletters come to me exactly when I needed and as I needed -as a word directly from Lord Krishna!
In krishna I have the deepest love and faith.
Please continue to share these newsletters – they are a source of my knowledge and happiness.
Hare Krishna

thanking you,

Bhagvad Gita is the Ultimate and the original source of knowing self and the universe in it's complete micro component details.Without Knowing the History One Cannot Locate it's Geography, The Teachings of Bhagavad Gita takes the Living Entities (Human Civilization) beyond the contemporary and sentiments of the modern world religion..Giving the complete idea an in-depth understanding How Spirit, Mind and Body Works..Finding these kind of True Substances Mostly end up in dry speculation on the other contemporary religion theory..Bhagavad Gita Learned under the Bonafide Spiritual master gives the real vision of spiritual realization..Once a Individual Learned Bhagavad Gita gets in to the real Transcendental Realm Understanding His Constitutional Position with God and Self, Purpose of Living and Whom to Serve and a clear declaration by the Lord The Supreme Personality of Godhead
Lord Krishna.Not a single spiritual scripture apart from Bhagvad Gita is directly oriented by God and that has been the question to many sincere religious and spiritual practitioners.How to know about God and the relation with him taking things far more further then Heaven & Hell..I Suggest People
should take advantage of understanding Bhagavad Gita from a Bonafied Spiritual Master at ISKCON – Founded by His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada.Individuals should not miss these opportunity of neglecting the original spiritual knowledge from there current religious approach..Every Region talks about purifying Spirit Soul and the Rituals are Practices to Purify the Soul.The Knowledge given in Bhagvad Gita is of Pure Spiritual Knowledge with its Application of it in the today practical Life.One can Enhance its Spiritual Practice by Knowing the Ultimate Truth of the Nature of the Soul and the Super Soul that is Satya-Chit-Anand-Vigraha that's
Eternal(Ultimate Truth)-Bliss-Full of Knowledge and the relation of Mind and Body with Soul.

Very nice letter. Thanks
Hare Krisna Prabhuji!
Could you please elaborate the following sentence : "We are trying to exist here in the material world but the atmosphere of the material world is nonexistence" ?
Thank you!
Perhaps this sloka from Bahagvad-Gita will be helpful:
"Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the nonexistent [the material body] there is no endurance and of the existent [the soul] there is no cessation. This seers have concluded by studying the nature of both." (Bg. 2.16)
In other words, we as spiritual entities exist eternally, yet where do we "exist"? In the realm of non-existence, this material world. The material world, although real, is described as "non-existant" on account of it's temporary, mutable nature. The soul, or atma, is, on the other hand, immutable and changeless. Thus the nature of the soul, our true self, and the world we live in are fundamentaly different. The objective of human life is to return to the purely spiritual kingdom of God where life is eternal, as we are.

Wow to ask what the Bhagavad Gita is is a large question.I have for myself found two things that I find to be true.
1 I searche many years for truth and god and only found misery.
2 Since I have started to read the Bhagavad Gita I have found at least some peace,and I have realized to me the most importent aspect that is helping change my life is that after I stoped struggling and relized god is everywhere thing have improved.
I dont claim to have many answers but I do know if sought with a clean and open mind he will come. Any who wish to contact me can at email@example.com Humble Servent

Thank you for sending the article, such nectar is exactly what was needed for a youth like myself in Krsna Consciousness and The next issue about Sanatana Dharma is actually what i wanted to find out about, so i greatly appreciate it and thank you for such wonderful service. Many of that which was mentioned in the article was mentioned several times by H.H. Guru Prasad Swami when he came to our country and from what i have read already but its always teaches you new things the more you read. Then if I read the next article i may be able to figure out the difference between Sanatan Dharma and Vaishnavism.

I liked the article, I have fallen in love with Bhagwat Gita and I am getting great strength from it
As you have said spirituality does come slowly and we need to be continuously in Krishna Contentiousness and surrender to him, since I have surrendered to Lord Krishna, I am feeling relived and mistakes when my I was in place are not happening when I am letting Lord to take decisions for me am I am flowing in his flow, I can see many difficulties get resolved automatically by the Lord
I feel I have found "Kamadhenu" and I am falling short of words to explain how great it is
Thanks once again

Hare Krishna,
Prabhuji last week i attended d course of Bhagvad Gita Journey of Self Discovery. It was obviously a wonderful experience for me I feel to b blessed to attend tht course. I am very thankful to ISKON & to all their devotees for arranging such an seminar which is must for every1's life.
Prabhuji from the article which I receive everyday a doubt arose in my mind which I need to ask. The doubt is in the article its mentioned tht to find relief from d sufferings of the Human life we should opt for the teachings of Bhagvad Gita, whereas its clearly stated tht what we r suffering r d deeds of our own Karma not of this birth only but may b of d previous1. If its so then Bhagvad Gita just helps us realizes this & just guides us d way for surrendering to Krishna. Then how come the relief from suffering coz Kala is gonna take care of that
Well I dont know if at all am right or wrong please correct me….Please forgive if at all there's any ignorance from my side

All glories to Sri Sri Guru & Gauranga !!!!Dear PrabhuJi
I recently started reading your articles relating to Bhagavad Gita As It Is. Really these scriptures are very eye opening for everyone whether they are devotees, nondevotees or neophytes. We are so absorbed these days in Mayavad philosophy & mundane faiths & beliefs that we have entirely forgotten our purpose of life for which lord Krishna has created us. Hence in the form of Bhagavad Gita & Bhagavatam you are doing perfect service for waking sleeping souls & showing the path to go back home, back to Godhaead Krsna.

Thank you for sending me mails regarding the discussions on Bhagavad Gita. I've read Bhagavad Gita. It feels so blissful while reading it. And the other times, it feels as if I'm always missing something. I forget everything and become so happy while reading it but while going outside to the "materialistic" world, it feels like suffocation. I humbly appreciate the explanations given to verses of Bhagavad Gita by Swami Prabhupada but I didn't felt good while I read
"In practically all the other editions the commentator expresses his own opinions without touching on the spririt of Bhagavad Gita."
It may be true that many translators give their own views instead of the real spirit of Bhagavad Gita – but it may not be always true. Some translations may give just the word-to-word translations just like Swami Prabhupada did. They also love Lord Sri Krishna, isn't it bad to say so?
I've complete respect towards this institution – ISKON but I didn't felt good while I found the ISKON members dealing as if they are only the closest to Lord Sri Krishna.I'm sorry Prabhu, if I said anything wrong and I beg sorry if I've made anyone feel bad.
It would be my pleasure if I continue getting mails related to Bhagavad GitaThank You
Hare Krishna

Respected Prabhuji,
Thank you very much for writing to me. I am enjoying the study. One thing is not clear to me. In this study you have explained that we are trying to exist here in the material world but the atmosphere of the material world is nonexistence. I shall be glad to know if material world is actual how atmosphere of the material world is non-existence? Please forgive me because it is not clear to me.

hi madhudvisa. i am really enjoying the study.please can you expand where you say the atmosphere of the material world is non-existence. also can you recommend a krishna concious group i can contact.thanks.with respect.gary
Respected shri Madhudvisa Dasa;
I am reading Bhagwadgita as it is for last 8-9 months (Both Hindi and English version) and have very high respects for such a great Book.Thank you for your spiritual teachings.
My Query : as I extract from Bhagawadgita as it is,I understand that In our body, two souls dwell. one is individual soul and second is part and particle of Lord shri Krishna. am I correct ?
If it is correct,then how can individual soul show characteristics / qualities of Lord krishna (though very minutely) because Lord krishna is only Spectator (seer of our activities)in our body.if individual soul is also part and particle of Lord Krishna, then are these two souls representing Lord krishna ?. it is confusing.
I continue to come across so many confusions which I would write later.
I have a doubt.It is clear in Bhagavad Gita that krishna is supreme himself and he is the incarnation of himself or the Universal Soul or Brahman.Then why most of the people still believe that krishna as the incarnation of vishnu?
I even tried to correct my parents on this.But they thought that I am a non believer of God.Noone is trying to understand me except my Uncle who was an old member of 'Hare Krishna' in Bahrain.Why people believe and even the books had written like this.
I had been thinking like this at the time of my Higher secondary education.I don't know how it came to my mind.It came naturally to my mind.And while reading some quotes of Gita ,it is clear that Krishna is Para Brahma himself.
what we need is common sense which most of the people are lacking.what is happening to the people?please clear my doubts!-
hare krishna madhudvisa dasa.
my respectful to you.
i thank you for the article,i well like to recive it allways is a very good
message take us out of ignorance.thank you very much.
Jai shree Krishna,
My humble obeisance to guruji.
This is the second newsletter that I have received and both have been inspiring to read. Receiving newsletter is a good means for me to take a break from my engagement in the material world and devote some time to spiritual growth through reading valuable message of life. I fully agree with the teachings of Bhagvad Gita and if I could understand correctly from whatever I have read and heard from preachings of Gurus that there are always some god realized personalities on this earth to help deliver the fallen souls from material world. My only question is "How many god realized persons might be present on this earth at the present time?" My humble request to respected Guruji if I could receive an answer.With due respect to Guruji.
Jai Shree Radhey. -
It is really a masterpiece book evermade. I already bought this Book in 1999 but in Indonesian and India version. For me the Book really influance to my life, eventhough that I am Catholic.

Dear Madhudvisa Deva,
I am eternally grateful for your daily lessons on the Baghavad Gita. It has been very inspiring and informative. You have given me a connection with the Krsna community. I do not live near a temple and have no contact with devotees, as I know of none in my area. I do the best that I can on my own, reading Srila Prabhupada's books, and trying to learn. Thank you for this connection. I fail miserably many days, but through your instruction and this website, I am inspired and hopeful. May the blessing of Lord Krsna surround you always!

Gifted are you for being able to enjoy the Gyan of Sri Sri Sri Krsna's Song 'Sri Bhagavad Gita'. Gifted we are being able to receive the nectar of the 'Sri Bhagavad Gita' from a devotee like you.
Been going through tougher times off late and was pondering over how to break the ice and see the light. Knew Sri Bhagavad Gita will have the solution. But been procrastinating by dwelling into the realms my own dark world of problems. Just a thought of 'Sri Bhagavad Gita' has sent messages miles across to you to send me a simplified version in the form of your newsletters. Now I am in the right path … an enlightened path, understanding life through the 'Small' mails that you are sending.
Thank you for your service to mankind.

very blessed to have the gita. "remember when you had no religion, when all you had was him" – rumi to me i feel like having the gita is having him again during the flight duration. I would also like to thank this website for having me on the mailing list.
Hare Krishna Prabhuji,
Thank you very much for briefing about the Purpose of Bhagvad Gita. In this Holy Book Lord Krishna has described the "Self (ATMAA)" as never born, never dead, nor it is destroyed by the fire, nor by water, nor it is divided by the weapon, etc. But I'm in confusion where this "Self" really is situated. If we think about us, we are made of bones, flesh and the blood. In reality we are not this bone, flesh and blood which are in medical terms are tissues. There is also "Mind" by which we are in consciousness. The Mind is the wave. And the Mind is also not "me" and "mine". This body and the mind are impermanent and subjects of the senses are also impermanent and are not "me" and "mine". Then to what I really can describe as my "Self" ? Kindly explain on it.
Hare Krishna.
It's nice to read wonderful articles sent by you and I like to inform please keep sending such articles since Bhagavad gita is really confusing and it will be nice to hear from devotees.
Sri Radhe Krishna
The letter is full of nector. I really enjoyed.
I have still in my mind that why we have been put to this nonexisting world to suffer. If we have to achieve the moksha ultimately. then there would other ways also by not coming to this perishing world.

I have one question.
"Can we chant daily without the Japa beats"
Tnx prabhuji.
I'm just wondering what are the possibilities of starting a correspondence course on the Bhagavad Gita verse by verse, just like what you're doing here, for those of us who don't really have a nearby temple, or even another devotee to rely upon? I've had 2 letters from you so far, and I'm eager to learn more. thankyou so much.

All glories to your "The Purpose of Bhagavad Gita" mailing service. It is always beautiful to see how much time the devotees are willing to give for the service of Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krsna.
In this "modern" (Kali) world where the internet has become another a place for perverted human minds where they seek everything that could corrupt their mind body & soul it always draws a smile on my face when I see that then again some people use it for the right purpose by spreading the Gita & the teachings of The Lord & His avatars.All glories to the devotees, All glories to their purpose whatever it is.

Hare Krishna Madhudvisa Prabhuji,
I am the reader of Bhagwat githa as it it and also trying to practice concentration by regularly chanting the hare krishna maha mantra.
i have just started and am trying to understand the materialistic world and digest the existence which is a very difficult thing.I get many doubts while i am reading bhagwat gita. Like We are temporally engaged in different activities, but all of these activities can be purified when we give up all these temporary activities and take up the activities which are prescribed by the Supreme Lord. This is called our pure life.The then question that comes to my mind on reading your article is, how do we really achieve at the attainment of the pure life, wherein, it is an existing fact that, we are fully covered with impurities within and do act for the same cause to get some material satisfaction!!!!
Please let us know how exactly the attachment to this materialistic world can be detached through krishna consciousness..
Expecting from you shortly.
Pamho ,Madhudvisa dasa .
It's with great pleasure I recieve your lessons-letters. It's a real inspiration. When I chant on my japabeads the mind many times wanders off into the mundane. Your electronic preacing helps me more to greet every bead like one of the Gopies of Vrindavan. The meditation gets a lot easier. In the chapter 18 text 66 of the Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Krishna says :"Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinfull reactions. Do not fear." This verse is of uttermost importance today as there is so much turmoil and fighting in the name of religion as it's never been since the great battle on Kuruksetra. I can hardly wait untill everybody on the earth in every town and village has gotten this message and understands it in their hearts. Meanwhile I will eagerly consume the nectar of your letters and pray for your health so as to keep up this great work.
Gauranga Haribol !

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE ARTICLE -
Namasti Madhudvisa Prabhuji,
Thank you for a gloriously informative article. I have read the Bhagavad Gita once, and is now reading again up to the Eleventh Discourse. If I may ask a question? In the Bhagavad Gita, The Blessed Lord said that we should concentrate on Him, meditate upon Him alone with absolute devotion, and when we depart this world, we will come directly to Him. The Hare Krishna Network however, says that chanting the Maha-Mantra, Hare Krishna Hare Krishna alone is sufficient. Is this not a contradiction? Please clarify this for me.
All Blessings to You Prabhuji. -
"Out of so many human beings who are suffering, there are only a few who are actually enquiring about their position, questioning what they are, why they are put into this difficult position, and so on."
I can see some reflections of 'Gita' verse 7/3 (manuShyANAm….tattvataH)in the above.
Here is a superb deal in 'gita' verse 3/31 (ye me… karmabhiH). Getting freed from the tyranny of ACTIONS is in fact every one is yearning for or rather working for the whole life. Here is an offer to get out of the helpless, hapless situations that drive one from action to action to action to.. making one tired of life itself. At least for now read the verse and heave a sigh of relief.
Hare Krsna Madhudvisa Prabhu,
Pse accept my humble obseciances,all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Your article is good but i wud lik to have a reply. In the 3rd Chapter that is the Karma Yoga Krishna explains that Man can realise the self in 2 different manners: By Philosophical Speculation & by devotional service. What does devotional service mean here.
I agree with all the comments above. I recently watched a move called This is Life, which illustrates the article perfectly. If we do not understand our constitutional position as servants of the Lord, we are bound to be unhappy as the main character from the movie.
Hare Krishna!
Went through the article. It is very informative and for beginners like us it is a very useful information to glide on the steps of spirtituality.
I would be very happy and in fact would be watiing to get your news letters every day.
I have travelled a long way to reach this route. Every thing has its own time I suppose.

What is devotional service I am trying to explain gradually. But it will take some time and you need to be a little patient with it. Right now we are just discussing the introduction to Bhagavad-gita. So now we are just introducing the basic idea. I will discuss everything in much more detail as we go on over time. You will see in my next posting that I am speaking of sanatana dharma. There is some hint in there what is devotional service and what it means. Please read that when you get it. I think that will answer your question. There I describe that sanatana dharma means the eternal occupation of the living entity, and that eternal occupation is service and we are all engaged in service. Mostly we are engaged in serving in the material world we serve the family members, we serve at our job we serve the country, in so many ways we are all performing service. These are all material activities that generate karma and keep us entangled in the material world. So what devotional service means is to transfer that service to Krishna, instead of serving in the material world we serve Krishna. The service is still there, but the service is transformed. All these points as well as describing the other processes like jnana [philosophical speculation], karma [working and offering the fruits of the work to Krishna] and yoga [meditational yoga like hatha yoga or astanga yoga] as well as bhakti yoga as we progress through the Gita.
Nice article and great thank.
I have read the letter from Mr. Sunil. a science student, and also logical minded. NOw I like to advise Mr. sunil how he will see or meet " lord Sree KRISHNA "
1. Try to be a devotee of Sree Krishna and beleive in GOD
2.Clear-up your mind, Kamana- Basana avoid, be simple, Be trustree
3. Chant Maha mantra all the times. pray to Krishna with full devotation. Fell KRISHNA every where and always feel krishna is with you4, Cry , Cry , and cry for krishna then you see or meet or talked krishna the suprem power
Oh holy sir,
I have enjoyed your article. I have, over the last several months been tormented and mentally pained in finding the truth. I have talked to my pandit, I have read books amongst the bhagvad gita and vishnu puranas; I have meditated upon the maha mantra and Krishnas name every day just one problem remains.
No one has ever seen God, or their God. I would, above all, love to see Krishna. I want to reach moksha. How can I go about doing this? I am scared that after this life, there may be nothing more. I am an avid Physics student, and science have many many theories of the creation of the universe. I have a scientific mind, in that nothing comes out of nothing it is impossible. When one states a point, it must be backed by facts or proof.
Can you help me? Is there anything you can say to ease me? Have you ever seen Krishna; can I see Him, does He know I want to see him so much?
Thank you for your time I hope to hear from you.
Awaiting you reply,
Sunil -
Hare Krishna:
Greeting! Have a good day!!
The article was fabulous and feel like drinking the spiritual nectar of the wholesome truth the one and only KRSNA…..Please keep sending such wonderful articles regarding ISKCON consciousness and a fallen soul like me atleast at the time of death will get relieved from this CYCLE OF BIRTH AND DEATH which is enormously painful to one's body and false enjoyment thru our IMPERFECT SENSES…………
Radhe Krishna
Your humble servant
Hare Krsna Prabhuji,
Please accept my hubmle obesiances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Thankyou so much for sending me such valuable nectar which is priceless because its about Lord Krishna who is all opulent and still so humble and merciful to the entire creation. It is very true that even if we read Bhagavad gita again and again and again, still each time we read it, there is something new to gain and practice in our life. As Srila Prabupadaji explains very nicely in His books that Lord Krishna's kind mercy and grace is open to His entire creation as we all are His part and parcel, but beacuse only His devotees ask for His mercy they get it..so it is said that He is espcially inclined to them. But He is equal to all, but the devotees faithfully surrender to Him so they attain Him. All is required is surrendering unto the will of the Lord, doing everything for HIS satisfaction. Arjuna did that and attained the highest perfection. We should similarly trust our Lord who loves us without any doubts as doubts are only a product of material nature. This will only mislead and nothing else.
As far as seeing Lord Krishna is concerned, I can remember Prabhupadaji explaining in one of His divine sessions, that first we need to prepare our eyes to see Krishna. Right now, our senses are imperfect and the Lord is perfect. We need to develop the vision of Love for Him. This is the qualification. Once we are perfectly situated in pure love and devotion for Him, then by His grace, He will reveal Himself to the pure devotee. Love can be developed by hearing about Krishna. The best way is reading the Bhagavad Gita (but one thing should be kept in mind, the Gita should not be read with doubts or a speculative nature). One should read it in a submissive manner and trust Lord Krishna's words just as Sri Arjuna did. If we read the Bhagavad Gita thinking that Lord Krishna is also one of us, then His grace will never be attained as is explained very nicely by Prabhupadaji in His purports. Reading in a surrendering mood, automatically by HIS grace, the qualification of love and faith will develop and one day He will be revealed.
Thankyou Prabhuji once again for these enlightening newsletters.
As it is revealed by the Lord in the eighteenth chapter, that the one who sincerely tries to spread the secret message of the Bhagavad Gita is the most dearest to the Lord.
Please excuse if I may have done any offenses.
Hare Krishna.

Best Suited For: Applications that require a recessed installation of the bushing with no axial movement of the mounted component relative to the shaft during tightening. B-LOC B112 Series 1" Keyless Bushings provide a zero-backlash frictional connection that will never wear or pound out and can accommodate a high torque, thrust, bending, and/or radial loads. Their wide, double taper design enhances torque transmission and bending moment capacity while maintaining exceptional concentricity with thru-bored hubs. There is no axial movement during installation. The B-LOC B112 Series eliminates the need to hold the shaft or lock machine while applying installation torque, making for fast and easy component repositioning. Since the B-LOC B112 Series Keyless Bushings do not have a flange, the external diameter along the unit's entire length is the same, therefore allowing the unit to be completely inserted into the component bore for flushed or recessed mounting. This series is also self-centering and RoHS compliant. • Wide, double taper design for enhanced torque transmission and bending moment capacity • Exceptional concentricity with thru-bored hubs • No axial movement during installation • Self-centering • Eliminates need to hold shaft or lock machine while applying installation torque • Recessed installation without the need for a counter bore • RoHS compliant Features of Fenner Drives Keyless Bushings: • Ability to transmit higher torques • True zero-backlash • Less equipment downtime • Ability to mount over existing keyways • Complete axial and radial adjustability • Simple installation, adjustment and removal All Fenner Drives keyless locking devices operate using the simple wedge principle. An axial force is applied- by either a hex nut (Trantorque) or a series of annular screws (B-LOC)- to engage circular steel rings with mating tapers. The resulting wedge action creates a radial force on the tapered rings, one of which contracts to squeeze the shaft while the other expands and presses into the component bore.

Nina Earring
Elegant long studs in hand cut and hammered sterling silver, brass or gold fill.
- 3" long x 3/8" wide
- Earring posts are sterling silver
Jewelry Information
All metals are nickel free and made in the USA. I use recycled or reclaimed materials whenever possible. The hardwoods I use are scraps that are collected from local wood shops. Due to the handmade nature of the work, slight variations in texture, size, and details may occur. The pieces pictured are samples and are not the exact ones you will receive, but rest assured they will be just as beautiful!
I hand-fabricate all pieces using brass, sterling silver, and 14k gold fill. All ear wires are sterling silver or 14k gold fill and are safe for sensitive ears. My jewelry is never plated, as plating can wear off or crack over time. 14k gold fill items have a thicker layer of gold than typical plating and should maintain their appearance for years to come.
Jewelry Care
Brass and silver items develop a natural patina over time, which I believe adds character and beauty to the jewelry. If you prefer to restore the shine on your piece, you can clean your jewelry with a polishing cloth (I use Sunshine Polishing cloths). Please note that etched and oxidized pieces may lose their finish if polished aggressively. To delay oxidation, keep your Carolyn Keys jewelry away from moisture, lotions and other beauty products. When you're not wearing your jewelry it is best to store it in a plastic bag.

With many artificial rugby pitches in Mawsley Village NN14 1 being installed on a regular basis it is important to ensure that the surfaces are regularly tested and maintained. The IRB, RFL and RFU national governing bodies set out specific performance and safety guidelines in order to make certain that synthetic sports surfacing is suitable for play. We can provide upkeep for different surface types including 3G synthetic grass and 4G pitch maintenance in Mawsley Village. For more info on 4G pitch maintenance please click here https://www.artificialpitchmaintenance.co.uk/4g-pitch/northamptonshire/mawsley-village.
Artificial rugby surface maintenance should be carried to ensure the pitch meets the guidelines set out by the national governing body which is listed below.
Player/Surface Interaction - Shock absorption, deformation, head injury criteria, energy restitution, Traction/rotational resistance, abrasiveness, abrasive friction.
Player/Surface Interaction - Slip resistance (EN 14837: 2003 using studded test foot), sliding distance (BS 7044 Section 2.2 Method using studded 0.25 m - 0.75 m test foot as specified by FA).
Ball/Surface Interaction - Ball rebound, ball roll, rugby football pace.
Properties of Artificial Grass Surfacing -Tensile properties of carpet, tuft withdrawal, pile height and weight meeting IRB Type 22 Regulation.
The safety and performance tests can be met years after the 3G pitch has been installed if a bespoke synthetic surface maintenance package is put in place from the start. This will involve power grooming, use of drag mats and brushes, decompaction, deep cleaning, moss and algae treatment, repairs, recycled rejuvenation, topping up infill and a full resurface. Be sure to contact us if you would like to talk about the costs of professional cleaning, repairs and upkeep for your sports facility. Fill in our enquiry form and a member of our team will be in touch with you as soon as possible.
As a synthetic rugby pitch is normally laid with a larger pile height of 50-60mm, it's important that the fibres contain the correct infill levels. When the sand and rubber infill in a third-generation surface becomes too low, excessive wear may occur on the fibres which will damage the surfacing and affect the performance. A rejuvenation will help spread the synthetic turf infill evenly across the surfacing and insure it doesn't become too compact within the fibres. If this does occur the drainage is likely to suffer by decreasing the porosity. An alternative method of synthetic turf maintenance is a deep clean which fully removes the contaminated infill and replaces it with fresh sand and rubber. We provide artificial pitch maintenance services https://www.artificialpitchmaintenance.co.uk/northamptonshire/mawsley-village to suit various budgets and surfacing types at schools, colleges, leisure centres and sports clubs.
For more information regarding the upkeep of manmade surfaces in Mawsley Village NN14 1 and surrounding areas, within the UK and the cost of maintaining synthetic pitches with bespoke packages, please fill out our contact form today. We'll be in touch with all the necessary advice and preservation package prices which can dramatically improve the appearance and performance of your artificial facility.
As experts in the installation and preservation of sports pitches, we are able to create a rugby pitch maintenance schedule which works and keeps your facility in great condition. We recommend cleaning the synthetic field near me, regularly in order to distribute sand infill and maintain the porous properties of the field. Regular care services should be carried out to make sure that the original qualities of the facility will remain throughout the lifespan of the field. Our upkeep care scheme includes a variety of different services to revitalise your field and lengthen the facility's longevity.
If you find that your area is holding water or there are rips or tears on the surface, it is important to get the manmade sports surfacing repaired straight away. Leaving damages to develop further can create costly repairs like resurfacing. Generally the earlier you fix the problems on the facility in Mawsley Village and surrounding areas, the cheaper it will be; this is why we recommend carrying out regular inspections of the sports field. We carry out seam and joint repairs in the event the surface has become vandalised. We also carry out decompaction or rejuvenation https://www.artificialpitchmaintenance.co.uk/rejuvenation/northamptonshire/mawsley-village to clean the infill and redistribute it evenly as a way to improve the facility's permeability.
The cost of artificial rugby surfacing repair can alter depending on a variety of different factors including the existing condition of surfacing and the area size. If you've got a full-sized pitch which is in need of rejuvenation, this will generally cost a lot more than a smaller-sized facility. Similarly, if your facility requires a full resurface rather than small seam repairs the cost to renew the field will be much more.

Redwood Shores Dental Care
Dr. Rocky Dhaliwal
(650) 654-6545
Dental Fillings in Redwood City
What is a Dental Filling?
A dental filling is a procedure used by a dentist when he/she is removing a cavity. The dentist will drill around the decayed area in the tooth to remove the cavity and then 'fill' in the removed space with a dental filling. Because the materials used to create fillings are meant to mimic the look and durability of teeth, they can also be used to repair chipped or broken teeth.
After the material is inserted into the cavity, the dentist will use instruments to shape it into the rough shape of the desired tooth. The dentist will shape the tooth to look natural, matching the color and shape of the other teeth, thereby unaffecting the patient's smile. Using a special 'blue light,' the dentist will harden the material in a matter of seconds, and then shape and polish the hardened material to complete the restoration.
Types of Dental Fillings
- Amalgam Fillings – Also called silver fillings, these are resistant to wear and highly durable. They can cause some discomfort for the patient later in life, and as such are not as commonly used
- Gold Fillings – Possibly the most famous of the types of dental fillings, gold fillings are durable and can last up to 20 years. Gold can be an expensive option and as such is not often the patient's first choice.
- Composite Fillings – Composite fillings are the most common type of fillings. Made of a resin base, these fillings are designed to mimic the exact color of teeth and offer the dentist the widest variety. Composites may wear over time and can also become stained by coffee – just like real teeth!
- Porcelain fillings – called inlays or onlays, these types of fillings are produced in a lab and then chemically bonded to the tooth. They are similarly priced to gold fillings but can be created to match the color of surrounding teeth.
For dental fillings, Dr. Dhaliwal will advise on what option is the best per each situation. For more general knowledge about dental fillings, do not hesitate to call our friendly staff to learn more.

Pain Relief Beyond Belief
From Blakey to Brown, Como to Costa, Eckstine to Eldridge, Galbraith to Garner, Harris to Hines, Horne to Hyman, Jamal to Jefferson, Kelly to Klook; Mancini to Marmarosa, May to Mitchell, Negri to Nestico, Parlan to Ponder, Reed to Ruther, Strayhorn to Sullivan, Turk to Turrentine, Wade to Williams… the forthcoming publication Treasury of Pittsburgh Jazz Connections by Dr. Nelson Harrison and Dr. Ralph Proctor, Jr. will document the legacy of one of the world's greatest jazz capitals.
Do you want to know who Dizzy Gillespie idolized? Did you ever wonder who inspired Kenny Clarke and Art Blakey? Who was the pianist that mentored Monk, Bud Powell, Tad Dameron, Elmo Hope, Sarah Vaughan and Mel Torme? Who was Art Tatum's idol and Nat Cole's mentor? What musical quartet pioneered the concept adopted later by the Modern Jazz Quartet? Were you ever curious to know who taught saxophone to Stanley Turrentine or who taught piano to Ahmad Jamal? What community music school trained Robert McFerrin, Sr. for his history-making debut with the Metropolitan Opera? What virtually unknown pianist was a significant influence on young John Coltrane, Shirley Scott, McCoy Tyner, Bobby Timmons and Ray Bryant when he moved to Philadelphia from Pittsburgh in the 1940s? Would you be surprised to know that Erroll Garner attended classes at the Julliard School of Music in New York and was at the top of his class in writing and arranging proficiency?
Some answers can be gleaned from the postings on the Pittsburgh Jazz Network.
For almost 100 years the Pittsburgh region has been a metacenter of jazz originality that is second to no other in the history of jazz. One of the best kept secrets in jazz folklore, the Pittsburgh Jazz Legacy has heretofore remained mythical. We have dubbed it "the greatest story never told" since it has not been represented in writing before now in such a way as to be accessible to anyone seeking to know more about it. When it was happening, little did we know how priceless the memories would become when the times were gone.
Today jazz is still king in Pittsburgh, with events, performances and activities happening all the time. The Pittsburgh Jazz Network is dedicated to celebrating and showcasing the places, artists and fans that carry on the legacy of Pittsburgh's jazz heritage.
