00:00What has happened is that because of the popularity of Gita, all kinds of distorted ideologies have
00:09exploited the Gita to validate their own philosophy. That's why there are so many commentaries on the Gita.
00:15Now, your guru was an ignorant chap. What he has said is not at all Vedanta. If you read them carefully, you will clearly see that
00:23that the interpreters are so full of disrespect towards Krishna that they have deliberately distorted
00:32the meanings of the verses. In fact, even where Krishna says buddhi, that's there in the shloka.
00:39The shloka contains the word buddhi. The translator has written bhakti. Now, this is
00:45culpable disobedience. You're not following what Krishna is saying. You are trying to make Krishna
00:52follow your ideology. This ought to be punished actually. But instead of being punished, it has become propagated.
