[Advaita-l] Time not Death

[Sujal Upadhyay]

Namaste,

Oh yes. Nice explanation. Thank you.

**The gita upadesh is thus also beyond time

It reminds me of catuHsloki bhAgavat where bhagavan viShNu gives updesha to
bhagavAn brahmA jI before brahmA jI begins creation.

I have typed a gist in gujarati here

It is from sastu sAhitya publication.

​Hari ​
OM
