Many have written commentaries on the great Hindu classic, the Bhagavad Gita. Who, though, has lived each verse, making it the basis of their life? Here we have a glimpse into the life of Sri Vasantha Sai’s father. All know of his deep love of nation, culture and God. Now, through excerpts from his private diaries, we glimpse the outpourings of a Jeeva yearning to attain Paramatma. Reading his poignant words, we can understand how Vasantha Sai was born into his family. Madhura Kavi Azhwar was a living Gita!
My father experienced all his own feelings through the verses of the Gita. By calling on Kanna to rescue him, he became Arjuna. In each verse, he not only identified with Arjuna’s feelings on the battlefield, but merged in Arjuna, becoming him. It is in this way, he practiced the Gita through his feelings. As I am born from him, it is feelings that came to me.
