What is the purport of the verse; “Nashto
mohah …” in 18th chapter?
Gita embodies the intimate dialogue or heart to heart
communication between the cosmic consciousness
personified and a very brave and also knowledgeable,
intelligent, sensitive and conscientious individual; or in
other words our own individual consciusness and the
cosmic consciusness!
Even as the description of legions, war, yoga postures,
pranayama, surrender, devotion etc. can confuse a
sincere student of Gita; gradually it becomes clear that
Gita simultaneously deals with individual, family, ethics,
society and cosmos.
She prepares us (like a disciplinarian but extremely well
meaning and loving and also enlightened mother) and
empowers us to intellectually and latter emotionally,
instinctually and physically conquer everything
(Which could be tempting, alluring, attracting,
enticing but deceptive and shackling) that comes in
the way self realization and individual and global
blossoming! Hence Gita is called
BHAVADWISHINEE. The war in Gita thus is with
MAYA (BHAVASAGAR); in terms of not negating
or destroying her but conquering her by going to her
root!

In nutshell; our subjective sensory (lovable) but
deceptive perceptions, our relatives, our society,
everything changing in the universe have to be
conquered in terms of reaching their core i.e. our true
self!
This is why; the essence of Gita encompasses
individual, family, social, global and cosmic space,
time, life and consciousness.
I am convinced that the universal, easiest and the best
way to realize this essence; is NAMASMARAN,
(preached by many saints and visionaries; but
especially by Shri Brahmachaitanya Gondavalekar
Maharaj) which is actually a VICTORIOUS
CULMINATION OF THE ESSENCE OF
BHAGAVAD GITA.
