Long Island Series Quizzes

This is a compilation of all of the quiz questions from the Gita Wisdom Long Island Podcast Series.

Results

Haribol! Thanks for taking the quiz.

Would you like to take the quiz again?

#1. Which is not one of the varnas?

Brahmacharya is the celibate, student stage of life and not one of the varnas. The fourth varna is vaishya.

#2. What type of karma is antithetical to one’s spiritual progress? One might call it “negative karma”.

Vikarma. Vikarma actions are contrary to the wisdom teachings: harm to others, harm to yourself, harm to the environment, harm to animals, etc. Anything that is not spiritually progressive, which is retrograde in our return back to a holy life, is vikarma.

#3. Realization of Brahman or Paramatma is incomplete. Which quality can be experienced only through realization of the Supreme Being?

#4. What does the word janma mean?

#5. Jada Bharata, in his previous life as King Bharata, was thinking about what at the time of his death?

#6. The path of devotional yoga is known as

#7. The cycle of birth and death is known as

#8. The Vedic histories are known as the

#9. Which is not a category of avatar?

Most avatars fall into the Vishnu-tattva category — those directly descended from Vishnu, the Supreme Being. Rama and Parashurama are examples of Vishnu-tattva avatars. The other category of avatar is jiva-tattva. Jiva souls are like us: individual sparks from the fire that is the Supreme Being. An example of jiva-tattva avatars is the shaktyavesha avatar: beings empowered by Vishnu to carry out a mission. Jesus, Buddha, and the guru are examples of shaktyavesha avatars. Maha-tattva refers to the cosmic material manifestation—the total energy of the material world—and is not a category of avatars.

#10. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is credited with what?

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu wrote no books: that was done by his scholar-disciples known as the Six Goswamis. Nor did he open temples. He is remembered for, among other achievements, popularizing the Hare Krishna mantra as a form of public spiritual practice.
