Dear Sri.Vijayakumar
Read your mail and quite surprised at the contents.
Adiyen does not know your background and the age group you belong . For your information , adiyen is a senior citizen.
Coming to your query  , I would like to submit that you yourself have answered your query partly. One should never forget that Lord Krishna is so kind and benovalent towards the jivas  that He does not want any one of us to be hurt on any issue and He wants all of us to reach His abode of ever lasting happiness, as we are all His property . The only condition He makes is that we all should lead a life of righteousness,  as laid down in the sruthis and smrithis , rendered by Him , only for our benefit. We all fail do to do this and think  that we are all swatantrans .
 
Bhagavad gita was given by Him , using Arjuna as a representative of all the jivas   and as such Gita is a way of life for all of us. In that case how can that book bring problems to us , if we keep a copy in our house ? It would only help us to get over the problems , when ever we are in dilemma like Arjuna on any issue at any time . Every one gets the Arjuna disease , most of the time in our life and in all such situations the cure is only in checking with Gita for a solution. So it should be considered as a ready reckoner in our day to day life.
 
As you rightly said , Geethopadesam   picture can very well be hung in our premises , as it will  constantly remind us that Lord Krishna , as a sarathy  to all of us in our life journey , will lead us to liberation , if we follow His instructions with all our heart. Krishna is expecting only sincere Bakthi from us and nothing else. Kindly refer Chapter 9, verse 26 on this.
 
He very well knows that He does not have to have anything from us , nor , we possess anything in this Universe , that does not belong to Him. So Lord Krishna's picture with Arjuna would be a constant reminder to all of us , to tell us that we jivas are His dasaboothas ( seshis ) and He is the only seshan.
 
Adiyen  is sure that the above would have cleared your doubt on this subject. In that case , I sincerely thank my acharya and Lord Krishna , for having given me the opportunity  and wisdom to explain the point to you .
 
Adiyen, Ramanuja Dasan, G.Sampath.

Dear Srirangasri members,
Someone told us that we should not keep Gitopadesam picture in our
house(We have one for many years); as well as that we are not
supposed to even have Bhagavad Gita book in the house.
Can anyone confirm if this is correct and if so the rationale behind
it. As far as I am concernced the picture of Gitopadesam represents
the essense of vedas; a constant reminder that Sri krishna
(Supreme) is the charioteer and we just do as he wishes.
I will be grateful for your enlightment on this.
Sincerely,
S. Vijayakumar
