This mountainous
challenge was made by Guru Sankardev to simplify life in a balanced manner by
combining rules of materialistic and spiritual strata’s to help enable one to receive
the ultimate goal in this short lifetime.
Sankardev in
his venture to establish a new concept to true devotion was started by researching
multiple religious Hindu scriptures inscribed with words of God. During this
research period he realized that in one’s lifetime only essential matters need
to be concentrated. Since life is short and people have to set their
concentration to complete family responsibilities before getting into spiritual
life with deep religious bent to percept truth of holy concept. Guru Sankardev
in this perspective worked day and night to create a simplified version of ‘Bhagavad
Gita’. In this attempt to create one he concentrated the usages of words,
sentence, phrases and quotes to help minimize matter with conceal of all essentials
from the vast version of ‘Bhagavat Gita’. So that by reading this normal people
who are rigorously involved in farming, cooking, building and other activities
of life could follow holy words in the easiest way. This eventually will easily
free them from being intertwined into extensive religious process bondage of life to achieve
God’s realm. It was initially the Kirtan Puthi (Kirtan Book) he created wherein it followed the combined version of
Lord’s incarnation and preaching inclusive of Nam Ghukha to it. Well Nam Ghukha is separately placed
in the Manikut of Kirtan Ghar but is also found attached to Kirtan Puthi at the
end. These were certain style formats established by Sankardev. The Nam Ghukha receives
the highest prominence as it contains the absolute essence of Lord’s version in
a simplified and crisp manner for easier understanding of truth in whole context.
