About this Blog

This Blog is a collection of excerpts from talks given by Sri Swami Vishwananda. Please note that this Blog does not focus on dates, background and the exact original way of how Swamiji delivered the speech. We edit the talks slightly, presenting them in a kind of “poetic” format. This means we choose certain paragraphs from a talk which reflect a particular theme.
Read them as pieces of Divine Wisdom, meditate upon the words and just feel how Swamiji is addressing you with His words.

Doing one's duty properly


Sri Swami Vishwananda: It is said in the Gita [Bhagavad Gita] that whenever you do your duty, do your duty properly.
Even if it hurts somebody, it doesn’t matter.
That’s how it is for the soldiers.
When they go to war, they are serving their country and they are protecting their country, their duty is to serve and to protect their
country.
And they don’t create any Karma, even when they are fighting.

Watch here a video which tells the story from the Mahabharat about the 100 Kauravas and 5 Pandavas on the battlefield:
