Message From Sri Krishna Poem by Uma Pochampalli Goparaju

Note: Bhagavad Gita, the message from Lord Sri Krishna to Arjuna and from there to each one who is a seeker, guides human lives at all times. One morning about a couple of years back, as I was talking to my father, who passed away this year, he gave me one more lesson on Karma sidhdhanta, even as he was frail in health and failing in memory.

As I was talking to my father over phone, oceans apart, he was still able to recite with me the shloka from Bhagavad-Gita Ch II-47, despite the fact that he was under care for dementia…His voice was feeble, chanting was with great effort, but yet the message was clear, ‘to work alone is one's right, never to the fruit and yet not cultivate laziness or inaction.'

Even as I was going through some phases of sadness at times, this memory comes up so strongly, that everything else is put aside and I start working again with calmness and a sense of duty with steadfastness. This poem was written one or two years back… my memory fades…
i thank my Acharya, His Holiness, Shri Shri Shri Tridandi Sreemannarayana Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar Swamy ji for giving me His Mangalasashanams and direction
