|| श्रीकृष्णं वन्दे जगद्गुरुम् || The True Sanyasi... Sri Krishna never fought for Arjuna in the Mahabharata. Arjuna had to do all the fighting in Kurukshetra. Sri Krishna is always there to remind us the Truth and give sane advice. The ultimate truth is that we have to do our work and no God will come to do it. Sadly this is not acceptable to many. A true Sanyasi will never advertise. He / She is like a flower. People reach them following the fragrance. They will not even bother to talk to fortune-seekers. Silence is their best weapon which frustrate most fortune seekers in minutes. They might open up the knowledge treasure to a genuine seeker whom a true Sanyasi will easily identify. A true sanyasi lives in the present - he will not have possessions - he might not even have the money to buy his next meal. Sanyasi and Godmen does not say anything new. Everything is found in the Hindu scriptures. All their words are borrowed from the Upanishads, Gita, Ramayana, Mahabharata. All these Holy Scriptures are readily available in shops. Pick any of these Holy Scriptures and read a few pages daily. Soon we will realize the futility of going to such fake gurus. Hinduism believes in individual self realization and not borrowed or rented or bought self realization. Always remember the Brahmin (God or Supreme Truth) that resides in the most respected guru or spiritual leader also resides in us. The only difference is that we have not bothered to realize it. If we are falling into the trap of fake Sanyasis and Godmen, it is our fault. And if you find that a swami is fake, never hesitate to report it to the authorities and write about it on the internet. Such fake swamis and God men should not find protection in Hindu religion. Note ***** Reading and understanding the Bhagavad Gita is not the real issue. If one has time and patience this can be easily achieved. The real issue is that Gita doesn’t talk about methods to become super rich overnight. Neither do Gita have mantras to find treasures hidden underground or to get promotions or provide miracle cure to diseases. Gita also does not recommend pujas to destroy your enemies. And above all Gita does not predict the future. Bhagavad Gita only teaches you to attain Moksha and how to live a life of bliss on earth. Thank you...
