The reading of the Bhagavad Gītā verses with meaning should be looked upon as a part of one's daily prayer. One can easily cover one chapter in a sitting, daily. This inspiring routine will make this book your unfailing companion."Swami Dayananda Saraswati

Do All Religions Have the Same Goals?

The Vedantic myth differs from the Jungian myth in that there is a point of completion, or a winning of the game, which is not true in Jung's conception. For Jung, the process of individuation is an ongoing process which is never completed. The Vedantin would look at Jung's process of individuation differently, in reference to the meaning of life. The nature of the Self revealed in the Upanisads is limitless, non-dual, and whole. Liberation is knowledge of this Self which equates to the attainment of wholeness, the apparent lack of wholeness being due only to Self-Ignorance. Self-Knowledge is the recognition and differentiation of an already existent wholeness which is both transcendent and imminent to all of one's perceptions.

Psychological theories are based on the experiences of the one constructing the theory. If the Vedantic Self becomes a differentiated component of one's experience, then it will naturally weave its way into one's psychological model of the mind.... New knowledge affects the old. Such has always been the case. As we go on learning and differentiating our experience, our theories change to accomodate our growth. In this case, if the existence of the Vedantic Self is differentiated from the psyche, then new knowledge is produced in that act of differentiation which then must be accounted for in the formulation of the psychological theories that inform our work.... According to Vedanta, it is the lack of differentiation of the Self from the psyche and world that is responsible for our pain and suffering, and so the solution to our problems lies ultimately in Self-knowledge. Psychological health in Vedanta depends on this differentiation. To the degree that a person identifies the Self with that which it is not, through either projection or superimposition, to that degree, the person suffers.....

The view is that the self is free from any blemish that inhibits self-approval. In reality, the self is the whole.

I am very happy that the 'Bhagavad Gita Home Study Course' will now be available in nine compact volumes so that one can carry a given volume while travelling. As I said in my foreword for the last edition, I want the readers to be aware that these books do not constitute another set of books on the Bhagavadgita. They are differentin that they are edited transcript-pages of classroom discussions; they are presented to the reader as a program for self-study. If this is born in mind, while reading, one enjoy the same attitude of a student in the classroom, making oneself available to the whole process of unfoldment of the content of the words of Bhagavan. The study will then prove to be as rewarding as directly listening to the teacher. This attitude would prove to be atmakrpa. Once this krpa is there, the other two, sastra-krpa and isvara-krpa would follow.The enormous job of patient editing of the pages, thousands of them, and presenting them, ertaining the original words and content without any compromise, was done by Dr. Martha Doherty. These books have created a number of committed students of the Bhagavadgita, thanks to Martha's invaluable contribution to the teaching tradition of Vadanta. I also congratulate the staff of our Publication division ably led by Ms. K. Chandra, a dedicated student of Vedanta.
