I consciously left yesterday, 13th July 2025 without sharing. May be I should confess it was because of the packed back to back sessions at KNBA - Karnataka Nagarathar Business Alliance - sponsored event of alternate year event, IBCN - International Business Conference, IBCN 2025 at Hilton Manyata, Namma Bengaluru. Thank you KNBA, super charged arrangements, sumptuous breakfast, lunch, dinner and of course gallons of tea, coffee and for those who loved going high, the spirit. Good to see, you ensured spirituality is the anchor and roots of Nagarathar. Grand gala concluded with the blessings of SwamiJis from Maths of Koviloor and Rajarajeswari Temple Bengaluru.
Well coming back to topic, a dynamic CA friend from Coimbatore, during lunch session shot a missile, "Anna, why are you not sending Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi's quotes these days?".
I said, "you have become too busy, I just completed sharing stanzas of Bhagavan's Akshara Manamalai, one stanza a day. And began on sharing a sloga from Shrimad Bhagavad Gita."
Talking of Empty page, yes I used to wonder why publishers or writers leave one full page blank between two chapters. Perhaps, I'm afraid they do it deliberately, so that the readers pause, reflect and prepare to read ahead.
As anything has to start with prayers to Almighty, we began Gita with Gita Dhyan. We, in Nagarthar community begin any good, auspicious project by writing உ , not the Tamil உயிர் எழுத்து, but to signify invoking the blessings of Lord Vinayaka. Many would wonder why Maha Bharath, especially the Bhagavad Gita incorporated into Maha Bharath didn't start with the prayer to Lord Vinayaka. It could be because, my wild guess, Ved Vyasa requested Lord Vinayaka Himself to script it.
Now we will be moving over to Chapter 1 on our Gita Mission to carry the Divine upadesa of Lord Krsna not just to Arjun, but to all. Not in an evangelical sense. Gita isn't just to one sect, it is universal.
May all derive courage, confidence from this long journey through 700 slogans, one sloga a day from tomorrow.
