✨ The Divine Relationship Between Chakras, Endocrine System, Elements & the Purpose of Life — As Explained in the Bhagavad Gita
Hello dear souls,
Today, on this sacred day of Gita Jayanti, we remember the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, which teaches us that the human body is not merely flesh and bone — it is a divine instrument, a miniature universe (microcosm) containing the same cosmic principles that govern the entire creation (macrocosm).
The chakra system beautifully reflects this truth.
Each chakra is a bridge between:
- the body (endocrine glands)
- the mind (thoughts & emotions)
- the elements (Panchabhutas)
- the sense & action organs
- the soul’s evolution
- and the Divine presence within us
Let us understand this cosmic map of life.
