There is also a scientific significance of the shlok of Shrimad Bhagavat Gita, who shows the way in life.
Shrimad Bhagavad Gita works to show the way in difficult difficulties, besides being an important book of Indian Sanatan Dharma. The things said in its verses which are still relevant today. Prashant Mukund Das, Senior Counselor and International Spiritual Guide Prashant Mukund Das of ISKCON Dwarka, also has its own science of Shrimad Bhagavadgita.
He says, whether students or professionals, many lessons of life can be learned from the shlokas of Srimad Bhagavad Gita. It also has its own scientific approach behind it. Let’s know, the meaning of some shlokas and their scientific approach.
1) victory of mind = success in life
Shloka Reference: Bhagavad Gita 6.5-6
Man’s mind can also become his greatest friend and the biggest enemy.
scientific approach: According to psychology and neuroscience, if we control the mind, balance emotions and maintain concentration, it is possible to achieve success in life.
2) Theory of karma = law of cause and effect
Shloka Reference: Bhagavad Gita 4.17, 3.9
The fruit of every karma is certain.
scientific approach: For example, Newton’s third rule is- “There is a reaction to every action,” the theory of karma in the Gita is described as moral cause and influence- “As you sow, you will bite.”
3) Do duty, don’t worry about fruit
Shloka Reference: Bhagavad Gita 2.47
Your right is only in doing karma, not on fruits.
scientific approach: Just as we can only control the effort in examination or experiments, not the result – similarly it is necessary to leave the worry of fruit in life and do honest deeds.
4) Yoga = balance + connectivity
Shloka Reference: Bhagavad Gita 6.616
Yoga means balance in life – coordination in body, mind and soul.
scientific approach: Regular practice, such as chanting mantras, adequate sleep, restrained food and routine- all these are very beneficial for health and mental peace.
5) True education = enlightenment
Shloka Reference: Bhagavad Gita 4.38
There is no greater knowledge than the soul in this world.
scientific approach: Education is not only a career, but also the discovery of self-thinking, purpose and true happiness. Gita Gyana and Vijnana- consider both of them necessary.
6) Bhakti = supreme science
Shloka Reference: Bhagavad Gita 9.2
This is devotional yoga Rajvidya, Rajguah.
scientific approach: Devotion is not superstition, it is the service of God with love and understanding. When we connect with the source (Krishna), then true knowledge is attained.
7) Balanced life = happy life
Shloka Reference: Bhagavad Gita 6.17
A person who is restrained in food, entertainment, gold and working can get rid of all sorrows through yoga.
scientific approach: The balance of lifestyle is essential for health and mental stability.
8) Types of food = properties of nature
Shloka Reference: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 17 **
There are three types of food, yajna, penance and charity of every person- according to Satoguna, Rajoguna and Tamoguna.
Scientific approach: Today doctors and nutritionists also believe that sattvic diet (light, nutritious, holy food) is good for health, especially for children.
