Hindu Association is an association formed by the Indian residents of
North West Arkansas in the mid 90’s. It has been a long standing need of Hindu
Association of NWA to have Mandir for religious practice, a bode of worship and
center for cultural education. We reached a milestone this year in Purchasing a land in Bentonville closer to the Indian Community. We intend to start the construction next year. As a begininng we are performing a Yagna at the site by chanting Lord's Song the Holy Bhagavadh Geeta. Priest from Tulsa will be perfoming the yagna. We request generous sponsors for this event and get the blessings of the Lord as well as the best wishes from the NWA Indian Community.
The Yagna is on November 28th at our new temple site conducted by the Tulsa priest Mr. Venugopal Gattu.
Some direct fruits of Geeta according to VARAHA PURANA and MAHABHARAT-
One who is regular in the study of GEETA becomes happiest man in this world and is not bound by any karma.
Just as the water does not stain the lotus leaf, even so, sins do not taint the one who recites the GEETA.
All the sacred places and Gods dwell in that place where the book GEETA is kept and read.
Help comes quickly, where the GEETA is recited.
SRI KRISHNA dwells at all times, where the Gita is read, heard, taught and contemplated upon.
Benefits of chanting the Geeta Chapters-
He who recites 18 chapters of GEETA reaches the highest state in all of his worldly goals and the supreme spiritual goal.
If 9 chapters are read, he or she undoubtedly attains the benefit of gifting a cow.
If 6 chapters are read, one achieves the merit of bathing in the sacred GANGA.4
If 3 chapters are read, one attains the merit of performing SOMAYAGAM (highest Vedic ritual).
If 1 chapter is read, one attains the happiness of RUDRA.
If 1/2 (half) Sloka is read, one attains the happiness of many human lives (happiness of 308,448,000 years)
He who repeats 10,7,5,4,3,2,1 or 1/2 sloka attains the peace and happiness of MOON.
Daily study of GEETA, assures you to take birth as human being again, if you choose to.
Though full of sins, one who is ever intent on hearing the meaning of GEETA, goes to the kingdom of GOD and rejoices with GOD.
A daily bath in water cleanses people of their bodily dirt, but a bath taken once in waters of GEETA cleanses them of the dirt of sins.
Those who hear or read day and night the scripture GEETA shouldn't be regarded as human beings; they are verily Gods.
All sins whether committed knowingly or unknowingly, get destroyed instantaneously by a constant study of GEETA.
