On BHAGAVAD GITA CHAPTER 9
SUPREME KNOWLEDGE: THE GREAT SECRET
Lord Krishna teaches us that Self-knowledge is Supreme Knowledge, the king among the branches of knowledge. He explains how He is the cause for all creation, how creation is pervaded by Him, yet how He is distinct from it all always. The relationship between the Lord and the individual is the great secret, which can be known directly. By offering our work unto Him, we clear our minds, give up our ignorance and are transformed.
And MUKUNDAMALA
Mukundamala means a ‘garland for Mukunda’, the one who gives liberation. The composer Raja Kulasekhara Alvar was the king of Travancore and an ardent devotee of the Lord. This beautiful Sanskrit composition expresses the purest devotion to the Lord. Such devotion is no different from the egoless state of the man of realization experiencing supreme bliss.
