Many accuse that Bhagavad Gitā, i.e. Bhagavad-gitā As It Is has wrong translation. They further claim that Bhagavad-gitā As It Is purposely deludes the readers who dont know the Sanskrit language. Is it not, that Bg as it is have word-to-word translation for each verse of the Bhagavad-gitā, just above the main translation & they mostly have *absolute literal translations*? It also have perfect english script of the original Sanskrit verse, even along with pronunciation guides, all in order to help the readers who don’t know to read devanāgarī script and are ignorant of Sanskrit. Infact, at the end of Bhagavad-gitā as It Is, there’s an entire special section to help us learn basics of Sanskrit. Why would anyone do that if they want to give distorted translations suiting their vested interests? Why not simply give the english translation as most out there do? If one had read the bhagwat Gita as it is he would have known that in the very introduction of Bg the reason for stating buddhi yoga as bhakti yoga is stated. Infact, at many places in bg as it is , in the purports, reason is stated again and again. So where is the question of deluding readers? Bg as it is also have a non literal translation, the opponents claim that as a wrong translation. Know a very basic fact that literal translation is not the only type of translation. It’s not a bookish knowledge, it’s a common sense as well. There is absolutely no such hard rule of translating absolutely literally. Here itself the entire propaganda of wrong translation is utterly thrown out of the window. There are eight types of translation, namely - word-for-word translation, literal translation, faithful translation, semantic translation, adaptive translation, free translation, idiomatic translation and communicative translation. Gita press is authentic and so too is Bg as it is. Both versions have almost same translations with a very few differences. The little differences arose because bg as it is tries to convey the essance of bg throughout it so that readers don't daviate from essance of bg while reading bg.
@@jaydutta7711 मैंने इस्लामियोको कभी ऐसा कहते नही सुना की अल्लाह ही कृष्ण हैं? 👉 तो फिर इस्कॉन के लोग शास्त्र के खिलाफ जाके, बिना किसी ऑथेंटिक रिफरेंस के कृष्ण ही अल्लाह है येसा क्यों बोलते हैं? ऐसा बोलने वालो को दुनिया पपलु कहेगी ना? अगर आप पपलू नही है तो बोहत बड़े पाखण्डी हैं?
Most important teaching I found was that, we can always make a bad situation worse, that implies that we always have the power to make a bad situation less bad.
My favorite part was when discussion about HIS Divine Grace Chaitanya character prabhujii's life and HIS Divine Grace srila prabhupad's journey was Discussed। Hare Krishna 🙏
HG CHaitanya Charan Prabhu Ji is very humble and intellect personality all above very wonderful pure devotee of lord krishna, seeking blessing from Prabhu Ji

Still there are incorrect translations in Bhagavad Gita of Iskcon which needs to be corrected especially english ones like translations of Dharma is mentioned as "Religion " which is clearly incorrect
@@Samir20112Vice Versa..... Shiv was also Krśna Bhakt.. No problem if you're a Shiv Bhakt because you're indirectly worshipping Krśna because Shiva is expansion of Krśna...
BG 12.8: भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण ने कहा - अपने मन को केवल मुझ पर स्थिर करो और अपनी बुद्धि मुझे समर्पित कर दो। इस प्रकार से तुम सदैव मुझ में स्थित रहोगे। इसमें कोई संदेह नहीं हैं।
Hare Krishna Prabhu dandwat pranam. I liked the section most where prji explained the difference between the concept of religion, dharma and spiritually,. Prji. I would love to here prji more and more. By the way I got the opportunity to attend prji's two classes on the extension of Pancha tattva building in Iskcon Mayapur temple.
Hare Krishna .... I really love the teaching skills of Chaitanya Charan Prabhuji Haribol ......Very very great explanation i really got a correct explanation to kids
Iskcon and their "expert scholars" 😂. So unfortunate to see what kind of crap is being referred to as scholarship in Kaliyuga! What a degeneration of Vedantic intellectualism! Shikastakam I had always appreciated you for not promoting particular organizations and being true to the cause of raising awareness among Hindus. Now that you have decided to promote Prabhupada's translations and offensive purports you have lost the support of goodwilling Hindus belonging to other sampradaya. But you keep up your content creation with your 'highly intellectual and elevated' iskcon community, because any one who criticizes or calls out the joke that is Iskcon's intellectualism would be replied with "i sapot iskon"
@@moonknight7973 iskcon is an offensive uncultured organization. It actively preaches hate against other sampradayas and Isthas of devotees. Their translations and prabhujis have dragged the highly elevated intellectual culture of Hinduism into a joke, like this guy in the video is doing. Translations are now going to be childsplay. I can say countless things to offend iskconites, but then I wouldn't claim I respect all sampradayas. Actively promoting iskcon and at the same time talking about uniting Hindus doesn't work.
Be fair and impartial. When you invite someone from a particular sect, it is obvious that he will certainly prove the superiority of his own version of Gita by disparaging the other interpretations, You should have followed the ethics of inviting the preachers of other sanatani sects as well ( Ramanujacharya , Maddhwacharya , Nimbarkacharya , Vallabhacharya , Shankaracharya , etc . followers) . If you had followed this strategy, you would have noticced how things are different and the views are polarized. I thnk you have a secret agenda of propagating the version of this sect. Sorry, for being too much straightforward.
Things I noticed about iskcon bhagwad geeta! ( I'm not a hater and I'm not here to defame our sanatan dharma but jo maine notice kiya wo bata raha hu) 1. First of all I'm not defaming any one's thought and belief system but maine iskcon ki puri bhagwad geeta padhi hai aur ye puri ki puri bhakti oriented hai, iske har line, har shlok ka meaning bhakti se shuru aur bhakti par hi khtm hai. 2. After read that book mujhe ye feel hone laga tha ki agar aap krishna ko apna jiwan samarpit nahi karte hain to aap galat raaste pe hain, mujhe aisa feel hota tha ki agar maine Tika nhi lagaya hua, mantra jaap nhi kiya, iskcon temple nhi visit kiya, book distribution nhi kiya and many more things related to iskcon nhi kiya to mai paapi hu. 3. Literally after read that book, mujhe apna ghar tyaag karne, iskcon join karne and sanyaasi banne tak ke thought aa rhe the, mujhe lagne laga tha ki agar mai iskcon ke saath nhi juda to zindagi barbaad ho jaegi. 4. I have Many more thing to say but I will strongly recommend ki jo students hain, jo abhi apna carrier banana chahte hain, life me kuch bada karna chahte hain, apna parents ko ek acchi life style dena chahte hain, please don't read iskcon bhagwad geeta book coz ye totally bhakti oriented brain washed book hai jiske liye sansaar ke kisi jimmedaari ki koi value nhi, kewal bhakti hi ek maarg hai sab kuch paane ka 5. My first experience of reading bhagwad geeta published by iskcon was very bad, if anyone wants to read then you can hear through any audio book or shailendra bhaarti available on youtube ( specifically for students who is currently building their carrier) 6. Mai hamesha sochta tha ki yrr bhagwad geeta padhne ke baad to logo ko taakat milti hai duniya me ek uttam aur sarwashrest vyaktitwa banane ki, ye kaisi book hai jo mujhe andar se weak bana rahi aur mujhe mere life ke aim se bhatka rahi hai. 7. Mujhe laga ki shayad maine isse galat smjh liya hoga but fir maine shailendra bhaarti ki audio suni then realise hua ki galat mai nhi ye book hai jo kewal bhakti oriented banai gai hai, isme karm ke bare me koi baat hi nhi, agar hai bhi to usse bhakti se jod diya gaya hai. 8. Hume bachpan se padhaya gaya, schools me dekha ki karm hi puja hai then why things started changing ? 9. Mai jitna sanatan dharm ko samjhta hu there is many way to praapt sidhhi A. By sanyaas B. By bhakti C. By karma D. By sankhya E. By sharir tyaag etc. & There is no any discrimation by god in any of the maarg, everyone will get the same result. Agar koi subah se shaam tak ke apne saare nirdhaarit karya puri nishta aur lagan se kar rha hai to wo bhi karm hi kar rha hai, you can't blame him to wake-up 4 o clock in the morning and do aarti, japa, book distribution etc...... Definitely he is surrendered to god and wo insaan hamesha ishwar ko sir jhukaega but krishna knows ki usne apni jimmedaria acche se nibhai hai 10. Jaisa ki maine pahle bhi bola ki mai koi hater nhi hu,mai bas wo baate bol rha jo maine feel kari iss book ko padhne ke baad, baaki mujhe koi kuch bhi bole, I will never recommend any student to read iskcon bhagwad geeta, from my pov it is totally bhakti oriented. Jai shree ram 🙏
I will recommend to read Bhagavad Gita by Swami mukudananda. Ye Google me free me available hai. Aap waha se bhi pad sakte ho. Me pura to nahi pada tha lekin jitna bhi pada tha aacha laga. Mene suna hai waha har cheez ko uske anusar likha gaya hai
Felt one sided to just bash or demean someone with atheistic believes, but in a soft spoken tone The way he disassociated morality from atheism that same mechanism is applicable to religion also But he didn't try to bring this up Just left it there only Also if atheism is just a belief same goes for theism too People believe that there is a god But show no evidence People believe because there is no god But show no evidence Also I would have appreciated if someone outside of iskon had come to give another perspective
Prabhupada bhakt hai is liye bhakti add karenge hi na Prabhu ji ☺️☺️vyse bhi life me bhakti se hi santi milta hai 😍😍hare Krishna dandwat pranam jay shrila prabhupad 😃😃
As always, amazing explanations by HG Chaitanya Charan prabhuji. Among the many things i liked, probably the concepts of being grateful in every situation (even if not for it), the situation of atheist moralists and consonance between science and spirituality were the best.
BG 11.15: अर्जुन बोले- हे देव! मैं आपके शरीर में सम्पूर्ण देवों को तथा अनेक भूतों के समुदायों को, कमल के आसन पर विराजित ब्रह्मा को, शिव जी को और सम्पूर्ण ऋषियों को तथा दिव्य सर्पों को देखता हूँ।
@@akashsahu7308 I have read all versions of Bhagavad-GITA, so I can tell that Iskon Bhagavad-Gita is the best out of all. There is no incorrect translation in ISKON Bhagavad-GITA. You have been conditioned against Iskon to think like that.I think you haven't yet came across other versions of Bhagvad-Gita of M. K. Gandhi, Swami Chinmayanand, Swami Mukundanand, Swami Ramsukhdas and H. Poddar of Gita press. Even Gita Press used to have 4-5 versions with commentaries of different authors. Along with that there is Dnyaneshwari, Ramanuja Commentary on Gita, Shankaracharya commentary on Gita even Ramkrishna mission as well as Brahmakumaris too have their own commentary of Bhagvad-Gita. The people who think that all Iskon belief and rituals and all wrong are actually “wrong” themselves for not being able to digest the facts of Sanatan Dharma and Bhagvad-GITA. Otherwise you wouldn't have concoction about Srila Prabhupada. Hare Krishna 🙏
@@akashsahu7308 1. आप Gita Iskcon पढ़ो या अन्य संस्था की ध्यान रखो और कोशिश करो की जरूरी ये है गीता पढ़कर चेतना का विकास हो सके। हमारी चेतना रजोगुण, तमोगुण से सतोगुण के तरफ विकसित हो सके। 2.विश्व में करोड़ों लोगो की चेतना का विकास करने में इस्कॉन की गीता का महत्वपूर्ण योगदान है इस बात को कोई नकार नहीं सकता। 🙏 हरे कृष्ण
Arooop sahi lagte hai , maine khud padhi hai ........ Shlokon ka sahi arth nahi likha gaya hai ..... Mool gita k shloko k artho ko badla gaya hai . . . .
Thankyou very much for such enlightening conversation with Chaitanya prabhu.. highly obliged .. my deepest regards to Prasbhu jee and you and please make some more such enlightening talks with Prabhu Jee...Hare Krishna
The way I see it, the ones who are too focused on the intellect connect more to the books like Geeta Press while the ones who have a deeper understanding connect more with the ISKON version. On the surface level, it can be called as Gyan and on a deeper level, same thing can be Bhakti. Whoever is really concerned with following the Gita won’t find problems between the versions.
Prabhuji u have to understand this....what prabhupada ji has done is he has translated the Bhagavad Gita according to his own sampradaya which is most problematic thing...as we all know that every sampradaya has its own way of interpreting the Bhagavad Gita...so how we can know this that ur Gita is the most authentic as we have translations which are more unbiased and even correct in many ways. There are many shlokas translation of your Bhagavad Gita which are totally wrong. For eg. Bg 4.24 and so on.... there are so many that I can't mention here all...one who compare Gita translations they can know.
So true. Instead of translating BG as it is, these people introduced excessively biased interpretation to promote their ways. Any translation of BG should be just that - a translation. The promotion of a sect should have been limited to commentaries. I often wonder if the ISKCONites don't believe in the ability of Krishna to guide a seeker through BG alone?! Because if they did believe in Krishna, they wouldn't have changed his words while translating. Alas!!
@@dutybound5079 Actually they are worshipping Bhagwan Krishna in there own way ...if we read Mahabharata and Harivansh parva (which is the appendix of mahabharata only) we get the total different picture...especially I am talking about the Radha worshipping.
ISKON Gita is explained with one-sided view. This view is not inclusive. In this modern world to live peacefully one should be inclusive minded. If anybody do not show regard to others view then why people from other fold should accept ISKON view. Prabhupada was not a realised soul. To lead spiritual life one should obey the instructions of a realised soul, whose full life is pure. A blind man cannot show path to another blind man. He who did not lead a pure life, how can he guide people how to lead spiritual path being pure in life.
Sir Chaitanya ji, I have a question, Gita is literally a human friendly analogy on Vedas and Upanishads. Krishna came up with Gita in a simplest, easiest way so that the essence of Gita be reached easily to everyone. The point is Krishna already made the essence easy, if he wanted to do it more easier he could have easily removed all other techniques and stuck to only bhakti yog. But he didn't do that because all humans are individuals and have distinct personalities which varies from person to person. For a karma yog attracted person bhakti yog won't work. For an activist, a revolutioner, a rebel, bhakti yog won't work and hence Krishna came up with Karma yoga. For a intellectually driven or a skeptic person bhakti won't work, and it is unfair to say we shouldn't be skeptical about God. Our Dharma was always speculated, criticized, argued, debated and then accepted. We are not believers, we never were. Look at Arjuna himself, he is asking questions, expressing his concerns even after Krishna saying him not to worry. Only after Krishna convinced him with his logical-spiritual theories Arjuna accepted. Such a thoughtful work is Bhagavad Gita. It is a shame seeing such a purpose oriented Gita, the God's own words, his own intentions is presented with a twisted theory. If Krishna wanted to make it all bhakti yog he would have done it. But no, he is sensible, he is the creator so he knows us. Our Dharma is all about freedom, freedom to make a choice, have a choice, and live with that choice. Let's not cease such invaluable freedom by mistake or by well known intentions.
@@dutybound5079 bilkul, main jaanta hoon ki ye ISKCON waale hain. Maine khud se ISKCON ki Geeta aur Geetapress gorakhpur ki Geeta dono ek saath padhi hai, aur ISKCON waalo ne bahut jyada milawat ki hai. Har jagah 'Krishna' aur 'Bhakti' ghusa rakha hai inhone. Isiliye ISKCON waalo ka tattv gyaan bilkul shunya hai. Inko lagta hai ki Krishna hi original God hain, aur Vishnu aur Shiv unke avtar.🤣
लेकिन इन्हें conflict of interest कौन सिखाये? ये तो येन-केन-प्रकारेण अपना उल्लू सीधा करने में लगे हैं बस। मुझे महाभारत का उद्योग पर्व याद आ गया। दुर्योधन भी स्वयं अपना महिमामंडन कर रहा था किंतु कृष्ण ने ऐसा खंडन किया कि दूत बनकर आये कृष्ण को बंदी बनाने की योजना बनने लगी। 😂
क्या प्रभूपादजी श्रीकृष्ण से अधिक जानते है? जो उन्होंने कृष्ण का आखिर का सार हर जगह डाला जहा पे श्रीकृष्ण ने अलग अलग मार्ग बताये है, उन सभी को भक्ती मे बदल के बताया...? चलो ठीक है, उनकी अपनी अवधारणा होगी. तो ग्रंथ का नाम गीता यथारूप लिख के भ्रम क्यो फैलाया..? गीता प्रभुपादजी के नजरियेसे या गीता प्रभपाद भाष्य इस तरह बताते... और संस्कृत मे गीता दी है ऐसा प्रमाण n दिजियेगा. भारत के साधारण लोग बहोत भोले होते है. वो भाषांतर को पढ के ही खुश होते है.
I totally understand Geeta ka saar bhakti hai but no one has right to change the translation from bhagwat geeta, you can tell about bhakti in commentry it's tottally fine. Why there are so many differences in Shlok trasnslation??? Please answer it.
@@Pu0k1 जी नहीं, गीता का सार भक्ति है ये इनका दावा गलत नहीं, गीताप्रेस गोरखपुर संस्करण के अनुसार भी सौ फीसदी 100% सही है। भक्ति के बिना आध्यात्मिकता और मुक्ति नहीं है।
Tab to ramayan aur bhagwatam hame mil hi nhi paate kyun Tulsi da ji to har jagah ram ko dekhte hain to kya ramayan ke har page bus ram ram likh de , Vayash ji ko Krishna Prem hain to har page pe bus Krishna Krishna hi likh denge to ye phir kaha reh gaya as it is ye to ho jayega as my wish
Mostly ISKCON followers abuse other Bhāshyakārās & claims only theirs is the true version. That's why the title too is "BhagavadGita - As it is". Latest example is, Amogh Lila Das who was banned for a month for abusing Ramakrishna Math. Other schools of thought respected each other despite disagreeing on few topics.
Hare Krishna prabhuji very nice session. our request please make one short movie , the devotee avoid satsang for minor reason, like birthday party , wedding, some other work , they easily avoid sunday satsang .. to get them avareness for satsang, kirtan, if we have an one short movie more people will get benifit
Hare Krishna prabhu ji 🙏🌺excellent podcast wonderfull. Bhout Sare question the mere mind mai oushka proper or scientific explaination mila hai prabhu ji se. Hare krishna🙏🌺Hari bol
हा तो हम यह कह सकते है ना कि जिसे टेक्निकल डिटेल मे जाना है उनके लिए इस्कॉन की गीता ठीक नहीं क्योंकि आपने ही कहा कि वैसी गीता वो वापस करते अनुवाद यदि समय नहीं मिलता, तो फिलहाल जिन्हे टेक्निकल डिटेल चाहिए उन्हे इस्कॉन की गीता काम नहीं आएगी , क्या हम ऐसा कह सकते है ?
I have respect for all the saints and iskcon also and Maine kuch 4 bhashya padhe hai purushottam yogeshwar krishn ji ke kripa se Mera jo mand budhhi mai jitna samjh paya hu Adi guru Shankaracharya ji ka bhashya bahat sabse jyada prabhavit Kiya hai mujhe 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. All bhashyas are no doubt very good for different spiritual seekers 😊🙏🏻. Jay shree krishn🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Jai Jagannath 🙏🏻
मैने 3 प्रकाशन की गीता पढी है , यह सही है की भक्तीवेदांत की गीता मे केवल भक्ती ही है , पर मै जितना समझ पाया हूं की भगवान श्रीकृष्ण ने अर्जुन को सभी मार्ग दिखाये और अपनी वृत्ती अनुसार मार्ग चुनने को कहा है जैसे मै यदी ध्यान मार्गी हूं तो मै भक्ती मार्गसे भागवदप्राप्ती नही कर सकता हूं
मेरी शरण में आ जाओ का अर्थ यह है कि जो भी श्री कृष्ण ने 18 अध्याय में ज्ञान दिया उसका प्रयोग करके निष्कामता को प्राप्त हो धर्म युद्ध करो और सीधी सी बात है जिसके अंदर श्री कृष्ण को लेकर भक्ति या श्रद्धा नहीं होगी बो श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता का पालन ही नहीं करेगा इसका मतलब ये थोड़ी है कि हर जगह भक्ति भक्ति शब्द का प्रयोग करो
What Prabhupada did that is absolutely right 😊 do everything but without bhakti everything is like wandering like a bull which would only hit others without bhakti. And there would be no conclusion. Bhakti brings compassion and humility and purify mind. Without bhakti no one can purify mind in this age of kali no matter what a person do....🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉
@@kumarakantirava429 Because probably many thought that it's ok to interpret it in their own way. Srila Prabhupada's intention was that his reader will not miss the essence, that what he wanted to ensure. And sure enough people got it and became devotees of Lord Krishna because message was so clear. Srila Prabhupada had also said that in future he may write another commentary on Bhagwad Gita which may be for those who have some understanding.
