SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 6 Text 29

sarva-bhuta- stham atmanam
sarva-bhutani catmani
iksate yoga-yuktatma
sarvatra sama-darsanah

sarva-bhuta- stham--situated in all beings; atmanam--the Supersoul; sarva--all; bhutani--entities; ca--also; atmani--in the self; iksate--does see; yoga-yukta-atma- -one who is dovetailed in Krsna consciousness; sarvatra--everywher e; sama-darsanah- -seeing equally.

TRANSLATION

A true yogi observes Me in all beings and also sees every being in Me. Indeed, the self-realized person sees Me, the same Supreme Lord, everywhere.

JOURNAL:

Thereafter Pandu consulted with great sages in the forest and then asked Kunti to observe vows of austerity for one full year. At the end of this period Pandu said to Kunti, "O beautiful one, Indra, the King of heaven, is pleased with you, so invoke him and conceive a son." Kunti then invoked Indra, who came to her and begot Arjuna.
(Teachings of Queen Kunti - Introduction)

I am already learning from the EBook Club I signed up for. The five Pandu are historic figures. I knew that Arjuna was one of them but I had no idea of his origins.
