9:45-10:30 Gita chapter 12

10:30-11:20-Sri Hanuman stories

Topic of the day: Discussion about Raavana and how Raavana although he is a great ruler, a very diligent and arduous devotee of lord shiva and great scholar musician, yet he is known as a demon with ten heads, but not many people know that he was not born with ten heads but often interpreted that Ravana’s 10 heads are the 10 emotions. Those emotions are: Kaam (lust), Krodh (anger,) Moha (delusion), Lobh (greed), Mada (pride), Maatsarya (envy), Manas (mind), Buddhi (intellect), Chit (will), and Ahamkara (ego). Tracing this interpretation we discussed how to control or remove such emotions and replace them with better positive and harmonious emotions is good for one’s self.

• introduced new verses

  *Sukshma Roop Dhari Siyanhi Dikhawa. Bikat Roop Dhari Lanka Jarawa.
  Bheem Roop Dhari Asura Sanghare. Ramchandra Ke Kaaj Sanware.*
  Taking the subtle form, You appeared in front of Mother Sita. And, taking the formidable form, You burnt the Lanka (Ravana’s kingdom).
  Taking the massive form (like that of Bheema), You slaughtered the demons. This is how, You completed Lord Rama’s tasks, successfully.

"నీవే తల్లివి తండ్రివి
నీవే నాతోడు నీడ నీవే సకుడవ్
నీవే గురుడవు దైవము
నీవే నా పతియు గతియు నిజముగా కృష్ణా!"
