follower of Swami A. Parthasarthy. He has lectured
all over Europe and North America. We are
grateful to have him visit our Temple on Sunday

Gita in modern life”.
Contrary to the general belief that youth and
Religion are opposed, young शिवेंद्र नागर ji is stirring audiences the world over by his
thought provoking presentations.
It all began when शिवेंद्र नागरji returned from his job
in Switzerland and met internationally acclaimed Vedantin, Swami A. Parthasarthy. Inspired by
Swamiji's ideals' शिवेंद्र नागर ji joined the Vedanta Academy in Lonavala, Being there full time,
following the strict discipline and rigorous schedule for 4 years, he imbibed the sublime
philosophy of Vedanta.
Then he was all set to share the message to his brothers and sisters world wide, his life has
become a living example of the tenet of Vedanta the body should be dynamic, the mind filled
with cheer.
A few of his recent talks are listed here:
* London School of Economics
* London School of Oriental & African

Action
FIVE QUESTIONS FOR ACTION
1. Why should we act?
2. What type of action should one do?
3. How should we act?
4. When should we act?
5. How long should we act?
6. How do we accept the result of action?
1. Why should we act?
Action is the insignia of life. Life without action is death. As long as we are alive, we cannot live without activity. We should act because there is no other option and the only silver lining we humans have is that we have a choice of action.
The second reason for action is that we have taken so much from the world that we have an obligation to pay back to the world, which we can do through our good actions.
2. What type of action should one do?
We have to change our activities according to our nature (Swadharma). Your passion should be your profession.
3. How should we act?
We should act dynamically. A dynamic action is one where our mind and intellect blend together. For eg., your mind wants to do something and your intellect is not supporting that action. If you do that action, you do it with guilt.
If your action is propelled by intellect, and not supported by mind, then you do the action half-heartedly.
Going by the same logic, if you perform an action where your mind likes to do it and your intellect sanctions that action, then it will be a dynamic action.
4. When should we act?
Right action at the wrong time will create wrong result. Be on the safe side. Don’t leave your activities for the last moment. Keep buffer room in life. If you analyse with an open mind, you know when to do anything. Generally we procrastinate and then blame external environment for delays.
5. How long should we act?
Hammer on, hammer on, until you break the rock. Swami Vivekananda said, “Stop not till the goal is achieved. Be like a river. The river does not stop until it reaches the ocean. Small stones or big rocks cannot stop you in your pursuit.”
Life is not a sprint! It is a marathon! Conserve your energy and follow the principle of riding small waves and ducking huge waves. Never lose sight of your target.
6. How do we accept the result of action?
A few people can follow the first give points, but they succumb to the final point and that is “result”. We have to accept the result of our actions like a “Prasad”. No ifs and buts.
We generally or perhaps mostly act for result. And the western thinking inculcated in our mind is so much established that now it seems to be the obvious scenario. If a batsman’s intention and attachment is for a century, he will lose his concentration and will miss the strokes. Result is nothing but effect, cause is the present action. So, it the cause is right, the effect is bound to be right.
What ever you do, do it without any axe to grind. You do not know what is in the future stock. The great statement by Lord Krishna is “Do your action and don’t be concerned with the result.
Follow these principles and you will see that you will live in harmony.
