Namaste!

May be this will be made clear when swamy tells us as to why he want us to
stay from Acharya's Bhashyas in this famous Charama Sloka.  Till such time
this should not be blown out of proportions.

On the other hand, Sri Madhwa says in one of his works says that - every
vedic word has three hidden meanings, every sloka of mahabharatha has ten
hidden meanings and every nama of Vishnu in Vishnu Sahasra Nama has 100
esoteric meanings hidden in it.  In fact, in a scholarly gathering, when
challenged by scholars on his words(especially on VSN), he rendered 100
meanings of the first nama - 'Om Vishwaya namaha' in a seamlessly rapid
phase, that the scholars gathered there unable to follow the esoteric
meanings shouted - 'sadhu, sadhu' and begged pardon.  Thus Madhwa tradition
has till date has this work of Madhwa on this first nama.    It is
altogether different matter that another disciple in Madhwa tradition has
given out 100 meanings for nama - Narayana.  Our Sadhana is in
knowing/understanding/contemplating these esoteric meanings.

As you all are aware, the words/thoughts/mind set of Lord Krishna is divine.
In fact, it is said that he did not rendered all of 700+ slokas to Arjuna
but Vyasa(who is rightly called as Vyasaya Vishnu rupaya Vyasa rupaya
Vishnave) compiled all these for our sake.  Who else but Lord can only
author works like Mahabharatha.  Thus, the divine words and thoughts is
impossible to understand even for gods (let alone us) and hence, he being
indwelling in Acharyas (in a special way) wrote bhashyas for Prasthana
Trayas.   Otherwise, the literal meanings of Vyasa's works will not do any
good for the mankind.

regards
sukumar

Dear friends,



I generally like Sri Tatachar's views. I should say - a good modernization
of our ancient rishis' views.



However the following " ESPECIALLY HERE STAY AWAY FROM OUR ACHARYAS
BHASHYAMS" seems to devalue the views of great acharyas. This is not so
considerate comment on our great ancient acharyas such as Samkara, Ramanuja
and Madhva, who have toiled hard to summarize the whole meaning of
Bhagawadgita in this verse. Neither is this an easy verse, which is better
interpreted using a modern view, if one were to pay attention to the whole
text of Bhagawadgita.



I think one should understand our traditional bhasyas on this verse "sarva
dharman parityajya". Yes it is complicated and probably the person asking
this question is not so interested in deep "analysis and hair splitting
views on this verse". However, deep ideas are hidden in this verse and a
good understanding is necessary for any deep student of "hindu philosophy".
Further the diametrically opposite views, which have even crept into modern
books on Bhagawadgita is something one should know deeply.
