गीतामृत १ हे पुस्तक म्हणजे भगवद्गीतेच्या अभ्यासासाठी एक मौल्यवान हिरा आहे. या पुस्तकाची वैशिष्ट्ये असे की भगवद्गीतेचा पद्धतशीर अभ्यास करताना हे पुस्तक एक मार्गदर्शक ठरेल. भगवान श्रीकृष्ण आणि अर्जुनाची अनेक नावे आहेत. संजयाने आणि अर्जुनाने या श्लोकांमधून भगवंतांची वेगवेगळी नावे घेतलेली आहेत. त्यांनी त्या श्लोकात भगवंतांचे तेच नाव का घेतले याचे सुंदर स्पष्टीकरण या पुस्तकात आढळते. प्रत्येक श्लोकाचा विस्तृत अर्थ सर्वसामान्यांना कळेल अशा सोप्या भाषेत समजावून सांगितलेला आहे. मी गेल्या काही महिन्यांपासून एक स्त्रोत शोधत होतो ज्यामुळे मला भगवद्गीतेच्या ज्ञानाचे अधिक सखोल निरुपण मिळेल. श्रीकृष्णांच्या कृपेने माझ्या प्रार्थनांचे उत्तर मिळाले. तो भावग्राही आहे. माझ्या प्रश्नांचे उत्तर श्रीमान शिक्षाष्टकम् प्रभूंच्या गीतामृत १ पुस्तकात मिळाले. प्रत्येक श्लोकाच्या अमृतमय प्रवाहात त्याचा अर्थ सहज सोप्या भाषेत सांगितलेला आहे. त्याचे वर्णन करण्यासाठी माझ्याकडे पुरेसे शब्द नाहीत. हा गीतामृतरूपी खजिना वाचून आस्वादन घेताना मी धन्य झालो. या पुस्तकासाठी मी प्रभूंजीना शतशः धन्यवाद देतो. -
गीतामृत २ भाग १ हे पुस्तक भगवद्गीतेच्या दुसऱ्या अध्यायावर आधारित आहे. यात प्रत्येक श्लोकाचा गूढ अर्थ हा प्रवाहासारखा प्रस्तुत केला आहे. प्रत्येक श्लोक कसा एकमेकांमध्ये गुंफलेला आहे हे आपल्याला या पुस्तकातून समजते. प्रत्येक श्लोक समजावू सांगताना प्रस्तु केलेली अनेक उदाहरणे या गुंफलेल्या हाराचे सौंदर्य आणखीनच वाढवते. ही उदाहरणे त्या श्लोकाचा अर्थ रंजकरीतीने तर सांगतातच; पण आपल्या दैनंदिन जीवनात त्या श्लोकाला कसे आत्मसात करावे याचेही प्रबोधन करतात. यामुळे भगवंतांच्या मुखातून उद्गम पावलेली ही वचने अधिकच रोचक आणि निमग्न करणारी ठरतात. दुसऱ्या अध्यायात भगवान श्रीकृष्ण आत्मा आणि शरीराची गुणधर्मे अर्जुनाला समजावून सांगतात त्यावेळी बाह्यदृष्टीने एकच गोष्ट वारंवार सांगितल्यासारखे वाटते. तथापि, जेव्हा आपण खोलवर जाऊन दोन श्लोकांमधील गूढ अर्थ बघतो, तेव्हा आपल्यापुढे त्याच गोष्टींचा अर्थ विलक्षण पद्धतीने उलगडतो आणि हा अनुभव अद्भुत प्रेरणादायी ठरतो. जेवढे अधिक आपण या पुस्तकाचे वाचन करू तेवढा अधिक आपल्याला गीतेचा गूढ अर्थ समजेल. भगवद्गीतेचे अमृत ज्ञान गीतामृत २ भाग १ या पुस्तकाद्वारे प्रस्तुत करताना आम्हाला अतिशय आनंद होत आहे. -
