@flyhigh On an another note I would also like to say that:
1)Folks, please applaud for this young man here.His hindi is awesome as anything I have heard.This doesnt ,mean I havent such before but there is a saying ki prashansha sab ke saamne karni chaiye aur ninda akele mei..(u should appreciate in public and criticise in private)
2)Yes u are right.I have read Srimad Bhagwatam and as some one here was saying I have read that version where Swami Prabhubpad had penned it in Australia in 1970's as "Srimad Bhagwatam or the Bhagwad geeta as it is"..Koi Howrah Station pe kabhi jata ho waha bhi mil jayege Gita aapko at 140 rs...maybe available at all railway stations nowadays..Gorakhpur Press se talukat koi rakhta ho tab bhi mil jayege with all the pictures contained in the pages..Also in Amazing books to read before you die waale thread pe I think I have uploaded all the holy books..If not then somebody can remind me and I shall upload once again..
3)Regarding what You said about religion and all..I knew somebody would disagree so didnot wanted to write but see I respect whatever you said.Its just that as per my thinking if one can manage it with preparation its good otherwise baad me karna chaiye ..in that context i said it is not useful,Arey yaar yaha log 10 baar sochte hai ki Ramchandra Guha karu ki nahi eventhough they know they waste tons of time doing all sorts of unnecessary things..toh Geeta they would just u know think to be a waste of time..mere hisaab se if u can not read it full then shouldnt attempt it as it is deep enough..I just threw a pinch or even a million times smaller part point of it as a comment..Who am I or anyone to say anything about it..It has been uttered by none other than Parabrahma bhagwaan sri Vishnu aka Narayan aka Srikrishna and a million other names.. So what I only meant that abhi mat padho agar bhaari lage baad me padh lena..
4)About your statement that Geeta is the only thing and Vedas,Upanishads and Puranas and everything is not needed and all.Then here I disagree with you..Yeah offcourse u can stick with Srimad Bhagwad Geeta,but saying its "the" most important material on the face of Earth would be an exaggeration..Yeah religious experts and scholarly Sanatan Dharma people utter that since it was directly uttered by the Almight Vishnu from whose navel Brahma originated and since for that matter Vedas which are nothing but is the total knowledge of the universe and creation contained in Brahma's 4 heads for that matter is nothing as compared to Vishnu's direct words in Gita.But still since we no nothing exactly for sure as all of it is mythology and so I think we need to read and examine(if time permits) each one of them and then try to understand what is right according to our own knowlege but still since I have done this exercise I can say that very few people would be able to get the actual answer..Most of them would end up being confused..and yeah if Upanishad wasnt needed there wont be a Swami Vivekananda who rested all his knowledge on the Upanishads which he remembered verbatim and assured others to read them and learn from them..
5)Last bt not the least thanks for praising me and making me accept and respect your views by putting it before everyone her..
6)You know I have always been curious God and yet sometimes very doubtful about God and other folklore and his creation..But my version of his truth is that mera matlab ki ek hi satya hai..after reading upanishad and Gita and everything even Ashtavarka Gita and all its chapters also the Aranyakas and the Srutis also the Puranas..or in other religions having the same thing as in the Koran Zend Avesta or Khalil Gibran and the Bible etc etc..
It boils down to this: god created us..but then we ask why and how ad for what reason ..simple..when we make food what is the principle reason or why and for whom do we make it?? just so that to eat and enjoy..the principal agent for receiving it maybe the feet or one could say our hands or our tongue which requires taste..but no,the principal agent for food is the stomach..
Similarly, God created for his own happiness and for his own enjoyment us and gave us everything..Just so that we could stay and obey and be happy and peaceful within the laps of nature he made a timer..by which I mean everytime u die the timer resets ..ur memories gets faded and again a new birth takes place,,now one may ask why..and where all this will end..the same thing when a baby is conceived and is a part of a woman and ultimately it grows up on its own i am talking about a foetus..likewise we all are foetuses..we will undergo a million births or more and end up living in different time scales such as if i die in 2060 there is no surety i will be born in 2061 or in future i can also be born in 215 bc..for u me and this whole world is just a single unit..we are all clones with variety..for i was abraham and i was jesus too..i was krishna and i was ram too.i was mahatma gandhi and i was hitler too..i was ravana and hiranyakashyapa too. i was duryodhan and i was arjun too..for there is no shiva and no vishnu and no brahma or no durga and no lakshmi or no saraswati or allah or jesus..There is but one Creator and he is neither male nor female as he cant be categorised into sex..he is parmatma as he is the highest soul and we all have to take zillion births to just mingle into him even though all of us have been close to him as he resides in all of us and yet we cannot see him or feel him and u know what right now we all are a part of him,there is also a saying somwhere that we reside in Maahavisnu's stomach and the whole universe is in his stomach(I am saying Mahavishnu as he is in 3 principle form1)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahavishnu 2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbhodaksayi_Vishnu 3)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ksirodakasayi_Vishnu ..physics me para tha energy can neither be created nor be destroyed..it can only be transformed.. bhagwad gita me kaha gaya hai aatma ki na mrityu hai na janam..wo sirf apne aap ko badalta hai jaise insaan vastra badalta hai...so its all round and is taking us to the same place no matter what..
My sermon is over at last..Thank u..I even revised all my religious and spiritual concepts typing all this and thinking about this..Nice..Take care everyone..
=D> =D> ^:)^ Agree completely brother, but I didn't say that Geeta is only and above all, I said that its just thay I didn't felt the need. Importance of Vedas and upnishads can't be denied. And though I had Geeta but I did many downloads from your collection thanks again for that pal. You seem to be a learned man by the way And I must admire the way you explained everything, thats the real way, people now a days are ready to discuss all and everything here but only few like you possess the ability to give it the right direction and end, impressive really delighted to read you. And its not a flattery believe me I mean it. @abhi8738 Good luck brother, way to go, stay happy, stay blessed.
It is but natural to feel low and lost at times. All of us do. So don't sweat on it too much. But um, if you let that sinking feeling take over you-- now that's a problem. I haven't read the Gita and I have very limited knowledge on Theology and religious texts, but the other things you can try are; 1. Take a break- one or two days won't marr your prospects of getting through. 2. Play a sport/run/walk/do Pilates or Yoga. 3. Meet a friend/Watch a movie. 4. Listen to Music- any kind. Personally, I love Raï music. Very soothing. Also, try to listen to songs whose lyrics you don't understand, or instrumental music. It's very peaceful. 5. Talk to your family- share. It'll help. 6. Do some community work/service once a week. It'll make you feel better about yourself, believe you me.
Finally, if nothing works, reach out to any of us. Make us your sounding board. Catharsis is extremely purging.
No, @abhi8738 . My status is still provisional. But um, feels strangely nice to know that someone is following my service allocation as ardently as myself.

I even Pm ed u..But you never replied.As for being a IFS aspirant and a well wisher couldnt turn my face off you know..
Preparing at home can be tiresome, especially if one is doing it alone. Often it feels as if we are left behind, while our batchmates are progressing in life, triggering the panic centers in our brain making one feel depressed and lonely. How do you guys manage it?
@Mapcoder_baniya That's a common thing buddy...you should treat that a very ordinary thing which you should not pay heed to it...and eventually you will come out of it
@aman131 Could'nt help resisting myself, but I love what you've written. Mehnat itni khamooshi se karo ki qamyabi shor macha de!! I kept thinking for like 15 mins or so. Its awesome.. >-

You seem to be a learned man by the way
And I must admire the way you explained everything, thats the real way, people now a days are ready to discuss all and everything here but only few like you possess the ability to give it the right direction and end, impressive
@abhi8738
Good luck brother, way to go, stay happy, stay blessed.
It is but natural to feel low and lost at times. All of us do. So don't sweat on it too much. But um, if you let that sinking feeling take over you-- now that's a problem. I haven't read the Gita and I have very limited knowledge on Theology and religious texts, but the other things you can try are;
1. Take a break- one or two days won't marr your prospects of getting through.
2. Play a sport/run/walk/do Pilates or Yoga.
3. Meet a friend/Watch a movie.
4. Listen to Music- any kind. Personally, I love Raï music. Very soothing. Also, try to listen to songs whose lyrics you don't understand, or instrumental music. It's very peaceful.

Good luck, and shine on!
But um, feels strangely nice to know that someone is following my service allocation as ardently as myself.
Thanks for your concern. I'll let you know if I am upgraded.
Good luck for the IFS! My best to you.
Could'nt help resisting myself, but I love what you've written. Mehnat itni khamooshi se karo ki qamyabi shor macha de!!
I kept thinking for like 15 mins or so. Its awesome..
