November 07, 2021 07:00 - 10 minutes - 7.29 MBSynopsis In this chapter, Krishna talks about the kshetra (our body) and kshetrajna (us). Our body is our territory. To know oneself is kshetrajna.

While we should understand that the body is essential for sheltering the soul, we shouldn’t fall prey to its never-ending desires and temptations. We should take care of our bodies and keep ourselves in good company to learn about the divine force
GITA CHAPTER 14: GUNATRAYA VIBHAG YOG
November 07, 2021 07:00 - 8 minutes - 5.91 MBSynopsis Everything that happens in this universe is because of the following three natures: 1.

The body and the mind follow the character and ac...

November 07, 2021 07:00 - 4 minutes - 3.32 MBSynopsis In this chapter, Krishna explains how different people react in the same situation. At times, when one needs help, some reach out to help while some keep away. Why do people behave differently?

October 24, 2021 11:00 - 12 minutes - 8.66 MBSynopsis Arjuna is still not convinced by Krishna’s explanations in the past few chapters that Krishna is the Divine Force behind everything.

October 24, 2021 11:00 - 6 minutes - 4.59 MBSynopsis In this chapter, Krishna describes the secret of science and knowledge that frees one of karm bondage. Relevance: Here ‘Krishna’ means the “supreme divine force.” Our happiness is in the belief that everything happens for a good reason. If we connect the dots, we realize that ultimately whatever decisions that we take or the choices that we make are a part of the divine plan and are for our higher goodness. This encourages us to derive our strength from the divine power and surren...
GITA CHAPTER 8: AKSHAR BRAHMA YOG
October 22, 2021 05:00 - 5 minutes - 3.84 MBSynopsis Krishna describes brahma, karma, spirituality and death in this chapter. How does Krishna appear to a man in his last moments?

October 19, 2021 07:00 - 5 minutes - 3.74 MBSynopsis In this chapter, Krishna describes karma yoga (fulfillment of duties) and sanyas yog (renunciation). Both paths lead to the same destination of wisdom. However, karma yoga is more comfortable than sanyas yog. You just have to fulfill your duties in this world without thinking or having an “I have done it” attitude to attain karma yog. Relevance: The choice is always within us to choose our karma. Once we choose it, we must perform it as if a divine force drives it. At the same ti...
GITA CHAPTER 6: ATMA SANYAM YOG
October 19, 2021 07:00 - 8 minutes - 5.93 MBSynopsis In this chapter, Krishna talks about the art of mastering meditation through practice and tenacity.

Your soul has traveled for many lifetimes and has all the data required to provide you the best option anytime you seek it out. T...

October 19, 2021 06:00 - 5 minutes - 4 MBSynopsis In this chapter, Shri Krishna describes the importance of performing our duties and responsibilities selflessly without thinking about the results.

GITA CHAPTER 4: GYAN, KARM, SANYAS YOG
October 19, 2021 06:00 - 6 minutes - 4.37 MBSynopsis In this chapter, Shri Krishna talks about the wisdom gained through performing the right actions (karma yoga) and the liberation achieved through seeing beyond the illusionary world of the senses. Relevance: “Travel light” throughout your journey by shedding the burden of expectations derived from the manifestation of the senses. Appoint a luggage bearer (knowledge) to assess the weight and carry only that which would help you get to the destination and be useful in the long term.

He is confused and full of grief. The struggle is so overwhelming that he drops his weapons and is ready to give up. Relevance: When we are in the middle of a ...
Gita Chapter 2: SANKHYA YOGA
October 19, 2021 05:00 - 7 minutes - 5.21 MBSynopsis Chapter 2 is the most crucial chapter in the Gita where Shri Krishna imparts the knowledge from the Vedas to Arjuna. The entire essence of Gita is present in Chapter 2. It primarily talks about two philosophies: Sankhya yoga – the philosophy of de-attachment and pure consciousness. Karma yoga – the philosophy of actions and intentions. Relevance: Life and death are two essential sides of a soul. The one who is born will eventually die. One shouldn’t grieve the dead as the sou...
