Three core values from Bhagavad Gita (12.4) for everyone:
1. sarva bhoota hite rathaah – Seeking the welfare of all living beings; helping everyone as much as possible with an attitude of service
2. sanniyamyendriya graamam – Regulation and control over the sense organs and the mind; quality insistence and quantity moderation in eating, sleeping, working, talking and sense indulgence
3. sarvatra sama buddhayah – Having equanimity amidst the ups and downs of life; facing life with courage, perseverence, dignity and humility without being overwhelmed by failure or carried away by success
Following these three is the core of spiritual life. Without these three no amount of other disciplines make any sense or give any benefit.
Thank you for posting this article. I have ben following PracticalPhilosophy for many months now and it was been an incredible learning experience. The information you collect and the questions you have answered about Hindusim has helped me clear up many of my own doubts that my parents were not able to answer as I was growing up.
I read through your site almost everyday to keep the lessons and wisdom derived from all the Hindu texts fresh in my mind. I am therefore very happy to read this new update. I hope you will continue to share your thoughts and explanations of Hindusim in the future. I would particularly like to hear your thought about the caste system, and Hindu practices of the religion in the modern era, and the yugas. But of course, it is your site and I am indeed happy with all that you have shared with us so far, and I hope you continue to do so.
Thanks for your kind remarks. I have written about caste system in a few articles. You can search using the box at the top right. Most of the articles in the site is about Hinduism and practice in the modern era. Thanks for your continued support and encouragement.
