ISKCON Bhagavad Gita Class - The Supreme Lord

I have attended the Bhagavad Gita class about Ishwar or The Supreme Lord at ISKCON Bangalore which is excellent and awesome. I am happy and  delighted to hear about the Supreme Lord. Below are some of the Key highlights from the class.

Five important areas in Bhagavad Gita : 

1. Ishvaar (God)
2. Jiiva ( Soul) 
3. Kaala ( Time) 
4. Prakruti ( Creation ) 
5. Karma 

Out of all these, Ishwar is more important as he is the controller of whole universe and all the other 4 things.

Qualities of God : 
As per Parashar Muni in Padma Purana, the definition of God is one who possess six qualities in full. Those are beauty, strength, knowledge renunciation, wealth, fame. There can be some people in this materialistic world where they may possess these qualities in part, but cannot have in full like Krishna.

Highlights of The Supreme Lord Class : 

• Our vedic scriptures have ocean of information about the universe, God, Law of Dharma, etc. 
• Bhagavad Gita is considered the nectar of the all wisdom contained in our Vedas and Upanishads.  
• Bhagavad Gita contains 18 Chapters and 700 Slokas.

• There are around 84 lakh species in this world and only human form is considered as superior, as only humans can do Bhakti and reach salvation. 
• So please utilise this opportunity to chant the holynames of Lord to reach the lotus feet of God. 
• Krishna means happiness. Whomsoever talks about Krishna, thinks about krishna, chant the holynames of Krishna becomes happy. It is a promise from Lord HIMSELF.
• To every creation there is a creator. Supreme Lord Krishna have created this whole universe. Newton strongly believed in the existence of God as there is order in the universe.
