IT was about early 80s that I had the fortune to have my first conscious glimpse, - yes, just glimpse and not yet the viswarupa darshn-on the stupendous volume of Srimad Bhagavad Gita, the commentary par excellence by Swami Chidbhavananda. Thanks to my uncle, a senior Chartered Accountant at Tiruchirapalli. My memory fails to recap the occasion precisely over which my uncle felt it needy to introduce me to this great treatise.
Perhaps, it might have been over my ignorant debate over right time, good, bad, omen - good or evil - to start over any good trial on auspicious note.
Well, talking about omen - good or evil, come on let us hear Lord Hrishikesa Himself:
na ca saknomy avasthatum
bhramativa ca me manah
nimittani ca pasyami
viparitani keshava
- Slogan 30, Adhyaya I ARJUNA VISHADA YOGA
The one dutiful, agile would go about doing one's duty for the sake of one's wont duty. That one has no time to seek guidance from omens. It is the weak and wavering who would dilly dally on the excuse of seeking guidance from omens.
