UPGRADE

Making one’s self better in many ways. In every step of life, humans want to create comfort by adopting many ways. The living standards are upgraded with the help of the available latest technology. Staircase became escalator.
Olden days grinder became wet grinder. Outdoor firewood stove became a gas stove or microwave oven. Of course, there’s no need of cooking nowadays due to swiggy or zomato. CRT [Cathode Ray Tube] TV’s became Plasma TV. The telephone became mobile. In short, mobiles replaced TV, camera, bank, calendar, watch, alarm clock etc., 

 Let’s see whether this up-gradation is applied to spiritual life also or not. Bhagavad Gita is well known. Lord Krishna also gave Uttara Gita for a better spiritual evolution of life. How many of you know about Uttara Gita? A famous sloka of Uttara Gita regarding spirituality is as follows. 

  Puja koti samam stotram stotra koti samo japah

japa koti samam dhyaanam dhyanakoti samolayah
(krishna arjuna samvade – uttara gita – mahabharat)
In a conversation of Krishna and Arjuna, Krishna said – the result that we get by performing karodo pujas is equal to performing of one stotra, similarly, karod stotras is equal to one japa, karod japas is equal to one dhyana and karodo dhyana is equal to one mano layah. 

 Therefore on this Ganesh Chaturthi, Let us upgrade spiritually also. Connect with the God in you by doing an inner journey through meditation. Improvise your spiritual standards of living. Upgrade yourself from Puja to Dhyana. Lead a blissful life. 

 I wish all of you to come out of the obstacles with the help of Ganesha that stop you from doing meditation.
Victory of the God-dess within you.
