International Geeta Mahotsav is celebrated in Dharmakshetra Kurukshetra from 7th to 24th December 2023. In my view, spirituality has no religious overtones. That’s why Shrimad Bhagavad Gita has influenced many world renowned personalities, like Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhiji, A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, Beethoven, J. Robert Oppenheimer, etc. Below Sanskrit Shlok proves its ties with modern science. Already multiple times written about this, I am just rephrasing this interpretation.
Shrimad Bhagavad Gita – Chapter 2, Verse 20
न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि
नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूय: |
अजो नित्य: शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो
न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे ||
English Transcription :
Na jayate mriyate va kadachi
nayam bhutva bhavita va na bhuyah.
Ajo nityah sasvatodyam purano
na hanyate hanyamane sarire
English Translation:
For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does it ever cease to be. It is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval. It is not ceased to exist when the body is ceased to exist.
Don’t you think it is related to the conservation Law of Energy? That law explains that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, and it can only transform from one form to another.
In my view, “Eternity is nothing but energy. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be transformed from one form to another. Every living thing has energy in self.”
Undoubtedly, India is also the birthplace of Yoga. Yoga boosts life force energy in the body. In fact, ‘Surya Namaskar’, a practice in yoga, is a way of expressing our gratitude to the sun which is a source of energy, with sun salutation the vitality of the sun’s energy seeps in our body.
