News Topical, Digital Desk : Religious texts hold a special place in Indian culture, but there are some texts about which many misconceptions and beliefs are prevalent. One of these is the Mahabharata. It is often advised that one should not keep the entire Mahabharata text at home, but rather only a portion of it, the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. Let us explore the spiritual and cultural reasons behind this.
Mahabharata: A Saga of Conflict, War and Destruction
The Mahabharata is not just a story, but a vast treatise on human nature, righteousness and irreligion, and the consequences of one's actions. It introduces us to every aspect of life, but its core essence is conflict, civil war, deceit, and ultimately, destruction. This battle, fought for righteousness, also resulted in bloodshed and the destruction of loved ones.
It is believed that in homes where the Mahabharata is recited or kept, situations of discord, dispute, and conflict arise. Peace and harmony are desired in domestic life. However, the stories of the Mahabharata can have the opposite effect. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid keeping it in the home to avoid negative energy.
Srimad Bhagavad Gita: Essence of Life and Source of Inspiration
An integral part of the Mahabharata, the Srimad Bhagavad Gita is Lord Krishna's teachings to Arjuna on the battlefield. It is a short text of only 700 verses, but it contains the entire essence of life. The Gita shows us the path of Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, and Bhakti Yoga. It teaches us how to maintain patience even in adverse circumstances, how to follow one's dharma, and how to rise above worldly attachments and fulfill one's duties.
The teachings of the Gita lead us to peace, wisdom, and positivity. Keeping it in the home brings positive energy, wisdom, and peace. It inspires us to follow the right path every day and provides mental peace. This is why it is recommended to keep only the Gita in the home, as it leads us to wisdom and solutions rather than the Mahabharata war.
