Thanks for your nice words! I am ...My dear friend,<br /><br />Thanks for your nice words! I am glad to know that you are able to implement the wisdom of the BG in your daily life -- that makes all the difference.<br /><br />As for 10:22, I wouldn't take it too seriously because Krishna is just using it as a metaphor. Sama Veda comprises Rig Vedic hymns that are "sung" and may be because of its musical nature, Krishna deems it the best. But the important thing here is that brahman is the best of the best. Krishna uses different examples just to illustrate this one point.<br /><br />Warm regards,<br />HariHRKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905379167629541190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467745081439255324.post-17453434511875550692011-10-30T02:51:08.255+05:302011-10-30T02:51:08.255+05:30Dear Koti and Hari,
I give you my sincere thanks...Dear Koti and Hari, <br /><br />I give you my sincere thanks for presenting me and the world with such an amazing work of wisdom in an easily understandable form. <br /><br />I am currently a college student, and "The New Bhagavad-Gita" has prompted me to focus my mind solely on the rational pursuit of knowledge while setting aside the happiness and sorrows that result from academic successes and failures. <br /><br />While reading chapter 10 verse 22, I noticed that Krishna has refered to himself as "Sama Veda" amoung the four vedas. Is there any particular reason for this? Since the Rig is considered to be the oldest of the four Vedas and a precursor to the other three, I find it all the more interesting that Krishna chose Sama instead of Rig. What is it about the Sama Veda that makes it the most special? <br /><br />Thank you very much, and I wish you the best in further spreading these words of wisdom. <br /><br />Sincerely, <br />College Student.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
