Mantras from the Bhagvad Geeta

Mantra for Destruction of obstacles in Yoga


V/29 Ch 5 Verse 29
Bhoktaaram yagna tapasaam sarvaloka maheshwaram
Suhridam sarva bhootaanaam jnaatwaa maam santi mricchati

He who knows Me as the enjoyer of sacrifices and austerities, the great Lord of all the worlds and the friend of all beings, attains to peace

My interpretation: The Lord is all in all…Yoga comes from the word. ‘yuj’ which means to connect, to join…Connect to what? We need to connect to the Higher Self who is the Lord…I would interpret ‘sacrifices’ as Karma, effort…’austerities does not necessarily mean to undergo difficulties which are self-imposed…In Kaliyuga ‘austerities’ is accepting those situations that come up in life, which one cannot change despite ones best efforts…So ‘surrender’ and one will attain peace…

Destruction of obstacles? Believe in the above and you will practice ‘Perfect Yoga’ and then of course , the obstacles will cease to exist!

Hi,

I'm spending my time here for the kids of Haiti.

I'm doing this for a non-profit group that gives their time to
creating oppurtunities for the children in haiti. If anybody wants to donate then do so here:

They give kids in Haiti a positive outlook through education.

Please check them out, they're legitimate.

It would be great if you could help
