For many spiritual people in the world Bhagvad Gita is one of the most respected and well read scripture. Recently there was lot of heat in Russia over this sacred scripture’s translation. Starting from historians, teachers, psychologists and even people that are non-spiritual or non-religious quote from this inspirational treasure. Yoga schools around the world give classes on teaching of Gita and it is also a part of yoga teachers training in lot of places.
What I am about the share with you will blow your mind. How would you feel when you see someone in hindu spiritual teacher’s clothes with dreadlocks or completely bald, writes his first name as Swami and lives in Vrindavan says that he does not believe in Gita because it is too old and times have changed now.
Swami Balendu then goes on to say that the book was written by people like you and me, normal men and who knows whether Krishna really existed or not. Whatever is written in Gita is not 100% correct and we should not follow it. There is no scientific proof of any of it is what he says. At one point he also says in his diary that he has not had much academic education but have studied scriptures for 30 years.
Now if there is an atheist or person of different origin says it, I would look the other way and not give it a second thought. He is a hindu guru who says he is not a guru but dresses and acts like when as it suits his fancy. Then same person goes on to use Mantras for meditation for a price then it makes me little uncomfortable as to what is going on?
Do you ignore a swami who disrespects what is the basis of not only his own livelihood but also sentiments of people around the world.
There are many bizaar and strange writings in his public diary that will leave you utterly confused.
Please feel free to comment.
