Gita In Action Podcast

In this class on Bhagavad Gita 9.11, we explore why we often struggle to see Krishna as He truly is. Krishna appears in a humanlike form, but His form is completely spiritual — eternal, full of knowledge, full of bliss. He is not an ordinary person; He is the Supreme Person. Yet because we’ve been shaped by human hurt, judgment, or disappointment, we tend to project those experiences onto God and assume He feels toward us the way people have.

We also look at the “God-sized hole” within each of us — the longing for perfect love and acceptance — and how we u...

In this episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita 9.8–9.10 — a powerful sequence where Krishna reveals how the entire universe moves under His gentle supervision. He explains that creation, maintenance, and dissolution all unfold by His will (9.8), yet He remains completely unattached and unaffected (9.9). And in 9.10, He clarifies how material nature works under His direction, carrying out the cosmic functions while He remains the steady, guiding force behind everything. Together, these verses offer something incredibly comforting and relatable: Life isn’t random. The universe isn’t chaotic. And you’re not navigating this place alone. We dive into why Krishna’s non-entanglement matters, how...

In this Gita in Action episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita 9.6–9.7 and the comforting truth behind Krishna’s unique way of loving. While our love often feels heavy—filled with worry, responsibility, and emotional weight—Krishna maintains the entire universe without strain, exhaustion, or entanglement.

Through the image of the wind moving freely in the sky, we discuss what it means to live with freedom within Krishna’s framework, to care deeply without losing ourselves, and to let go of control while still offering love.

We also open up about the real-life places where love feels heavy—pare...

In this Gita in Action episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita 9.4–9.5 and the comforting truth that we don’t have to hold everything together — Krishna already is. Krishna reveals how He pervades the universe, sustains all beings effortlessly, and remains untouched by the burdens that overwhelm us. From this teaching, our group opens a heartfelt conversation about parenting, letting go, supporting loved ones, and learning healthy detachment. If you’ve ever felt responsible for everyone or exhausted from trying to control the outcome, this episode is a reminder that we’re finite — and Krishna is infinite. We can lean on Him, rest in...

In honor of Thanksgiving, today’s episode is a little different — and a lot more personal.
We sat together as a spiritual family and shared the blessings that touched us this year — the moments that softened us, stretched us, surprised us, and reminded us that Krishna’s mercy is always present, even in the small things.

This episode is less of a “class” and more of a heartfelt circle… a chance to pause, reflect, and remember just how much we’ve been carried, guided, and held by grace.

Whether your year felt heavy, beautiful, or somewhere in...

In this episode, we explore one of the most encouraging teachings in Bhagavad Gita 9.3 — Krishna’s reminder that faith in the process of bhakti is what helps us grow, even when we can’t see visible change. Spiritual life is like tending a quiet inner garden. Sometimes we plant devotional habits — chanting, reading, serving, praying — and wonder why we’re not seeing “results” yet. Doubt creeps in, impatience rises, and we’re tempted to uproot everything we’ve started. But Krishna gently shows us that real transformation happens slowly, steadily, from the inside out. In this class, we talk about: 🌱 Why faith i...

In today’s episode, we step into the heart of the Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 9 — where Krishna reveals “the most confidential knowledge.” It’s not just about understanding God; it’s about experiencing Him.

We’ll explore what makes this knowledge the “king of education,” why devotion is both simple and complete, and how love transforms philosophy into realization. Through stories like Nārada Muni’s awakening, we’ll see how true wisdom isn’t earned — it’s received through grace, association, and the sincerity of the heart.

This chapter marks the Gita’s turning point — where knowledge t...

In this episode, we take a reflective walk through Chapter 8 of the Bhagavad Gita — “Attaining the Supreme.” This chapter answers some of life’s deepest questions: Who am I? What happens when I die? And how can I stay connected to Krishna even at that final moment? But more than philosophy, Chapter 8 is a journey of remembrance — learning how to live in such a way that remembering Krishna becomes natural, not forced. We’ll revisit the major themes and verses of the chapter, from Arjuna’s heartfelt questions to Krishna’s ultimate message: You don’t need perfect timing or complicated pra...

After describing the many paths of yoga, the cycles of light and darkness, and the timing of death, Krishna ends Chapter 8 with a simple, comforting truth: when the heart is filled with love and devotion, everything else falls into perspective.

The devotee isn’t worried about perfect timing, auspicious moments, or complicated methods. Love brings clarity. Love simplifies life. And love makes the path home to Krishna certain.

In this episode, we’ll explore how bhakti—the yoga of the heart—transforms our outlook on life and death, dissolves fear, and helps us see every experien...

In this episode, we explore one of the most mystical parts of the Bhagavad Gita — where Krishna describes how yogis can leave the world at specific times to attain liberation.
But then, He reveals something deeper: for those who love Him, timing doesn’t matter.

The pure devotee doesn’t calculate the perfect moment to die — they simply live in constant remembrance of Krishna, trusting that whenever that moment comes, He’ll take care of everything.

This class shows how bhakti-yoga transcends all the complexities of technique, timing, and control.
When there’s love, the ru...

The Bhagavad Gita doesn’t just talk about personal transformation — it takes us to the scale of the universe itself. Krishna explains that even the cosmos moves in cycles: everything comes into being at the dawn of creation and dissolves again when Brahma’s night falls. Worlds rise and fall, civilizations come and go, and yet, something eternal remains. In this episode, we’ll explore verses 8.18–8.22, where Krishna reveals the rhythm of creation and destruction — and points us to what lies beyond it. We’ll reflect on why everything material eventually fades, what it means to anchor our lives in the eternal...

In Bhagavad Gita 8.16–8.17, Krishna expands our vision of reality — from the fleeting pleasures of this world all the way to the cosmic lifespan of Brahma. Even the highest planet and the longest life are temporary. Everything material, no matter how elevated, eventually dissolves with time. In this episode, we’ll reflect on Krishna’s gentle but profound message: don’t aim for what fades — aim for what’s eternal. Through relatable analogies and introspective questions, we’ll explore how the same pattern of “earn, enjoy, repeat” plays out not just in material life but even in spiritual life when mixed with material...

In this episode, we explore Krishna’s gentle reassurance from the Bhagavad Gita (8.14–15): the spiritual path doesn’t have to be so hard.
Krishna says that for one who always remembers Him with love, He becomes easy to attain. Through relatable examples and reflections, we’ll look at why bhakti-yoga — the path of love and remembrance — is the most natural and joyful way to grow spiritually.
We’ll also discuss how to navigate life’s “thorns” and “hospital moments” without losing heart, and how to find peace by letting Krishna into the center of our lives.

✨ When love leads, the...

We often think of meditation as a way to relax or escape from life’s stress — a quiet break for the mind.
But Krishna teaches that real meditation isn’t about escape; it’s about engagement — the inner work of purifying the heart and steadying the mind through devotion.

In Bhagavad Gita 8.9–13, Krishna reveals what true meditation looks like: awareness fixed on the Supreme Person — who is both infinite and intimately present within our hearts.
We’ll explore how chanting and remembrance cleanse the heart, why peace comes after purification, and how bhakti-yoga transforms discipline into love.

In this episode, we explore one of the Gita’s most intimate instructions — how to remember Krishna steadily, with both mind and heart.
Krishna teaches that true yoga isn’t about escaping the world, but learning to stay centered in remembrance no matter where we are or what we face.

Through the story of Dhruva, the young prince whose wounded heart transformed into pure devotion, we’ll see how steady remembrance turns pain into purpose and practice into presence.

Join me as we reflect on how to:
✨ Keep bringing the mind back to Krishna —...

In this episode, we explore one of the most practical and transformative teachings of the Bhagavad Gita (8.7): to remember Krishna before we act — not just after.
So often, we let our mind, ego, or fears take the wheel, and turn to Krishna only when things go wrong. But Krishna invites us to flip that — to let devotion lead the way.

When we make Krishna our “daily GPS,” our work, relationships, and choices start flowing with greater peace, clarity, and meaning.
Join me as we unpack what it really means to “think of Krishna first,” how to balance s...

In this class, we explore one of the most profound truths from the Bhagavad Gita (8.6): “Whatever state of being one remembers at the time of death, that state they will attain—without fail.”

Krishna reminds us that our consciousness at the moment of death determines our next destination. But this verse isn’t just about dying — it’s about living. Every thought, every attachment, and every moment of remembrance shapes who we’re becoming.

Through stories like King Bharata and insights from real-life examples such as Nelson Mandela, we’ll reflect on what it truly means to “die be...

In this class, we explore Krishna’s teachings in Bhagavad Gita 8.4–8.5, uncovering how the material world, the cosmic forces, and the Supersoul in our hearts all point us toward Him. Through the threefold framework of adhibhūta (the material manifestation), adhidaiva (the divine intelligence behind nature), and adhiyajña (the Lord of all sacrifices), Krishna shows us how every aspect of life can become a path to spiritual awareness.

We’ll reflect on the profound principle that whatever we cherish and remember in life shapes our consciousness at the moment of death — and ultimately, our next destination. Using vivi...

In this class, we explore how the things we do every day—work, chores, even small habits—can become powerful tools for spiritual growth. Using Krishna’s teachings from the Bhagavad-gītā, we’ll see how ordinary actions, when done with the right intention, can shift from binding “karma” into liberating “akarma.” You’ll learn simple, practical ways to dedicate your actions, stay mindful, and transform everyday life into a practice of devotion and service. Perfect for anyone who wants to bring meaning and presence into the routine moments of life.

Dive into Chapter 7 of the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna teaches us how to move from detachment to devotion. Discover how to recognize Him in daily life, understand your eternal identity as the soul, and cultivate steady, heartfelt devotion. Whether you’re seeking liberation, guidance, or simply a deeper connection with the Divine, these timeless lessons show how turning to Krishna transforms everything—from the ordinary moments to life’s biggest challenges.

In this class, we’ll explore verses 7.29–30 of the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna reveals that different kinds of people come to Him in devotion—some for relief, some for knowledge, some for liberation, and some purely out of love. Here, He adds another group: those who seek freedom from birth and death. What unites all these devotees is that by taking shelter in Krishna, they make real spiritual progress, no matter their starting point.

We’ll break down what it actually means to “know transcendental reality”—not just as an abstract idea, but as a living conviction that “I am spi...

Life is full of highs and lows, but what if the struggle between “good” and “bad” is just an illusion? In this episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita 7.27–7.28, where Krishna explains how desire and aversion keep us trapped in duality, and how devotional service helps us rise above it. Using relatable examples like running a marathon and navigating everyday challenges, we uncover how to steady the mind, purify the heart, and align with our true identity as eternal souls. Discover practical insights for cultivating determination, attracting Krishna’s mercy, and finding lasting freedom from life’s ups and downs.

In this session, we dive into Bhagavad Gita 7.25–7.26 to explore a question that has puzzled seekers for ages: why isn’t Krishna—or God—manifest to everyone? Krishna explains that our ability to see Him depends on our heart, humility, and devotion. Pride, defiance, and trying to control outcomes keep us from perceiving His higher reality.

We’ll unpack how Krishna sees everything—past, present, and future—yet chooses to reveal Himself according to His own sweet will. Using relatable examples, we’ll explore how knowledge, surrender, and the mercy of pure devotees help us gradually pierce the veil of illu...

In this session, we dive into Krishna’s teaching in Bhagavad Gita 7.24, exploring why devotion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead is not just a stepping stone, but the ultimate nourishment for the soul. We’ll unpack the common misunderstanding that spiritual maturity means giving up love or personal relationships—and how, in reality, Krishna Himself is the eternal, ever-fresh relationship that makes all love meaningful. Through practical examples and reflection, we’ll explore how Krishna-bhakti sustains us, transforms our hearts, and keeps all other relationships vibrant when centered on Him. This class is for anyone who wants to move bey...

In this class, we explore what the Bhagavad Gita teaches about where our focus should really be. Krishna explains that while material results and blessings may come through demigods or temporary means, the true source of fulfillment is Him. Using relatable examples—from a prince receiving an allowance to a child marveling at a stocked fridge—we uncover how often we mistake intermediaries for the ultimate source.

We’ll dive into the difference between temporary gains and eternal satisfaction, and see why love and devotion to Krishna isn’t a stepping stone—it’s the nourishment our souls were c...

In this episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita 7.18–7.21, where Krishna reveals His gratitude for all who turn to Him — whether in distress, curiosity, desire, or knowledge. He treasures every seeker, yet shows how devotion naturally matures from mixed motives into pure love. Along the way, we’ll reflect on how Krishna meets us where we are, gently guiding us closer to Him, and how our own small steps of devotion are always cherished.

In these verses (7.15-7.17), Krishna makes a striking contrast. Some people, caught up in illusion, refuse to surrender—even though it would free them from suffering. Others, however, turn to Him in faith—whether out of distress, curiosity, the search for success, or the search for truth. In this episode, we’ll explore both sides: the subtle blocks that keep us from God, and the different ways people begin their spiritual journey. You might even recognize yourself in these categories. Most importantly, Krishna assures us that whatever brings us to Him, it’s the beginning of something beautiful.

In this class, we explore Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, verses 12–14, where Krishna reveals the true nature of the material world and how it’s influenced by the three modes of nature—goodness, passion, and ignorance. He shows us that while everything exists within Him, He transcends it all. Using simple metaphors like tinted glasses and reflections, we’ll uncover why it’s so easy to mistake the material world for reality, how maya (illusion) operates, and the power of surrender to rise above it. This session is about seeing Krishna clearly, breaking free from illusion, and learning practical ways to anchor you...

In this class, we explore Bhagavad Gita 7.8–7.11 and discover how Krishna is present in the essence of everything around us—water, light, sound, our abilities, and even life itself. Instead of seeing God as distant or abstract, we learn to recognize His presence in our daily experiences. From the taste of water to the light of the sun, from our talents to the strength in others, Krishna is always here, guiding, sustaining, and empowering us. Learn how this perspective can shift your relationship with ego, success, and the ordinary moments of life—turning them into opportunities for gratitude, connection, and sp...

Have you ever wondered why the same world can feel so different depending on how you engage with it? In this class, we explore Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7 (verses 4–7) to understand Krishna’s separated energies—the material world and living beings—and how everything we see is powered by Him. Using everyday examples, like plugging electricity into a heater or a cooler, we’ll uncover how the same energy can produce very different results. Learn how recognizing Krishna as the source of all things can shift your perspective, reveal your true identity, and guide you toward real joy and freedom through de...

In this class, we dive into Chapter 7, verses 1–3 of the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna reveals the rare path to truly knowing Him. Most people get caught up in the routines and comforts of daily life, or settle for partial knowledge of God—but Krishna shows us how to move from hearing about Him to experiencing a personal, transformative connection. We’ll explore how sincere devotion, guided by hearing and reflection, purifies the mind, awakens the heart, and leads to steady joy, freedom, and clarity. Whether you’re new to the Gita or looking to deepen your spiritual practice, this session...

In this class, we revisit Chapter 6 of the Bhagavad Gita—a review of the powerful verses we’ve already explored together. We’ll reflect on Arjuna’s honest struggle with his restless mind and Krishna’s practical guidance on steady practice and letting go. More than just mind control, this chapter reveals the heart of yoga: cultivating loving connection and devotion to Krishna. Whether you’re refreshing your understanding or diving deeper, this class brings timeless wisdom back to life with warmth, honesty, and hope.

What if your spiritual journey didn’t start in this lifetime? And what if the effort you’re making now is actually picking up where you left off before?

In the final verses of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6 (texts 45–47), Krishna paints a hopeful, expansive vision of spiritual growth. He explains how even if someone falters, they’re never truly lost — because the soul carries forward its progress across lifetimes. These verses are a powerful reminder that sincere spiritual practice is never in vain.

We also explore what it means to be the “best yogi,” and how bhakti — a hea...

What if the spiritual work you’re doing now isn’t brand new—but a continuation of something you’ve already begun? In this episode, we dive into several verses from Chapter 6, Texts 40-44 of the Bhagavad Gita that explore the journey of the soul across lifetimes. Krishna explains how sincere seekers carry their spiritual impressions forward—even if they’ve paused or stumbled along the way. We talk about what it means to pick up where you left off, how our subtle desires shape our next birth, and why no effort on the path is ever lost. You’ll also hear r...

Bhagavad Gita: 6:36-39--Sometimes the mind feels like a relentless bully—pulling us into distractions, doubt, and discouragement, even when we’re trying to grow spiritually. In Bhagavad Gita 6.36, Krishna doesn’t sugarcoat the struggle: yes, controlling the mind is hard. But He also gives us real hope. Success is assured—not through sheer willpower, but through the right process and the right connection. In this class, we’ll explore how spiritual discipline, sincere effort, and most importantly, our relationship with Krishna can help us stand up to the inner bully and move forward with strength, clarity, and support. You don’t...

What’s your mind’s default setting? In this episode, we explore how Krishna teaches us to reprogram the patterns of our mind through steady practice and conscious detachment. Using a relatable browser metaphor, we look at how mantra meditation can reset our internal "homepage," rewire our mental habits, and help us experience real satisfaction in Krishna consciousness. If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of distraction, doubt, or desire, this episode offers both insight and a spiritual solution.

Ever feel like your mind has a mind of its own—restless, stubborn, and impossible to calm? You’re not alone. Even Arjuna, one of history’s greatest warriors and a close friend of Krishna, admitted that controlling the mind felt harder than controlling the wind.

In this episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, Text 32-34, where Krishna describes the highest yogi as someone who sees all beings equally and lives with deep compassion. But Arjuna’s honest response shows us something comforting—spiritual growth isn’t about perfection, it’s about humility, honesty, and taking the next small ste...

How do we bring spirituality out of the temple or meditation room and into the flow of our everyday lives? In this class on Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6 (verses 29–31), we explore how to see Krishna everywhere—in the people we meet, the places we go, and even the challenges we face. You’ll learn why compartmentalizing life into “material” and “spiritual” actually holds us back, and how to cultivate a steady awareness of Krishna that stays with you no matter where you are. We’ll also look at how this inner connection leads to greater peace, clarity, and compassion for others.

W...

Have you ever had your mind spiral over a small mistake, blowing it way out of proportion? We all long for peace of mind, but it doesn’t just happen—it’s something we have to cultivate. In this class, we’ll explore what the Bhagavad Gita says about calming the restless mind, overcoming inner enemies like lust, anger, and greed, and finding a deep, unshakable happiness that doesn’t depend on external circumstances.

You’ll learn why material “solutions” only lead to more dissatisfaction, how steady spiritual practice purifies the heart, and how meditation connects us to our unchangin...

Do you ever sit down to focus—only to find your mind racing in a hundred different directions? In this episode, we explore Krishna’s timeless advice from Bhagavad Gita 6.26 on how to deal with the flickering, restless nature of the mind.

Instead of blaming ourselves for drifting, Krishna teaches us to gently return the mind—again and again—under the guidance of the self. This isn’t failure; it’s the practice.

We’ll talk about how our daily distractions form deep impressions, how consistent redirection can reshape our inner world, and why spiritual growth often b...

What do a sparrow and your spiritual practice have in common? In this class, we explore Bhagavad Gita 6.24–6.25, where Krishna encourages us to stay steady in yoga with determination and faith—even when progress feels slow. Drawing from Srila Prabhupada’s powerful story of a sparrow trying to empty the ocean one beakful at a time, we’ll reflect on how even our smallest efforts in bhakti-yoga are meaningful and transformative.

We’ll talk about how to manage desires, train the mind, strengthen our conviction, and keep returning to our spiritual path despite distractions. If you’ve ever felt di...

What if real happiness wasn’t something you had to chase—or fear losing? In this class on Bhagavad Gita 6.20–23, we explore Krishna’s description of samādhi, the state of deep inner absorption that brings unshakable joy, even in the face of life’s hardest challenges. You’ll learn how spiritual happiness differs from material pleasure, why it’s so fulfilling, and how to start experiencing it through the practice of bhakti-yoga. Through relatable stories, analogies, and reflection questions, we’ll unpack how to move from temporary satisfaction to lasting fulfillment—and why the joy that comes from connecting with Kri...

In this episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita 6.17–6.19, where Krishna teaches that real yoga begins with balance—regulating our eating, sleeping, work, and recreation. Drawing from the powerful image of a lamp in a windless place, we reflect on how inner steadiness is possible even in the midst of daily demands. Learn how to move from burnout to clarity, from scattered to centered, by aligning your habits with your spiritual goals. If you’ve ever felt overstimulated, restless, or pulled in a hundred directions, this conversation offers both grounding wisdom and practical tools for a more peaceful and purposeful life.

In this class, we explore Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, verses 13–16, where Krishna shares powerful yet practical teachings on how to steady the body, calm the mind, and align our life with a deeper purpose. We’ll unpack the deeper meaning behind classical meditation techniques, explore how to step outside the mind when it becomes overwhelming, and talk about the transformative power of spiritual discipline—not as restriction, but as a gateway to freedom. Whether you're navigating inner restlessness, seeking balance, or trying to reconnect with what truly matters, this session offers grounding insights and reflective questions to help you move from s...

In this class, we explore Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, verses 9–14, where Krishna guides us from the outer limbs of yoga to its deeply internal heart. We reflect on what it really means to see others with equal vision—beyond judgment, roles, or utility—and how that mindset prepares us for authentic meditation.

We then shift into the foundational practices of ashtanga-yoga, including renunciation, mental discipline, and physical stillness, but with a deeper aim: to absorb our heart and mind in loving connection with the Divine. This is yoga beyond fitness—yoga that purifies, transforms, and reconnects us with our true...

In this episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita verses 6.7 and 6.8, where Krishna reveals that true spiritual peace comes not just from knowing the truth—but from living it. We’ll unpack the difference between the mind and the soul, what it really means to conquer the mind, and how knowledge transforms into realization through devotional practice.

These verses also introduce the Supersoul (Paramatma) and the self-realized yogi who sees gold, stones, and pebbles with equal vision. What does that mean for us in practical terms? How do we go from spiritual information to real, lived transformation?

Duration: 01:02:40

Ever feel like your mind has a mind of its own? In this episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita 6.6, where Krishna says the mind can either be our greatest friend or our worst enemy. We’ll unpack what the mind really is, why it often misleads us, and how to take back the steering wheel through conscious, spiritual living.

Using metaphors, real-life examples, and Gita-based insights, we’ll look at:

How the soul, mind, and body interact

Why unchecked thoughts lead to regret, confusion, and even self-sabotage

We explore:

Why the mind is so influential in our spiritual and emotional lives

How to recognize when your mind is supporting or sabotaging you

Practical tools to observe, train, and...

Ashtanga Yoga isn’t just about physical postures—it’s a complete spiritual journey. In this episode, we dive deep into Chapter 6 of the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna outlines the true essence of Ashtanga Yoga—the eightfold path of spiritual practice. Far beyond the mat, this chapter guides us from moral discipline and daily integrity to deep meditation and union with the Divine. We’ll explore how yoga begins with self-discipline (yama and niyama), becomes embodied through asana and breath control (pranayama), and ultimately leads us inward through pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, and samadhi. Whether you’re a spiritual seeker, a yoga pract...

In this class, we explore how Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5 reveals the path to true freedom—not by escaping the world, but by engaging with it consciously. Krishna explains that both karma-yoga (selfless action) and jñāna-yoga (the path of knowledge) lead to liberation, but karma-yoga is more practical and powerful for those living active lives. We’ll unpack how acting without attachment, with a clear understanding of the soul (ātma) and the Supersoul (Paramātmā), purifies the heart and leads to inner peace. Through vivid metaphors, spiritual insights, and relatable reflections, this class will help you connect deeply with Krishna's...

In this class, we explore one of the most powerful and practical verses in the Bhagavad Gita As It Is—Chapter 5, Text 29—where Krishna reveals the secret to lasting peace: understanding Him as the ultimate enjoyer, the supreme proprietor, and the dearest well-wisher of all living beings.

Together, we unpack what this means in the chaos of everyday life and how shifting from a mindset of control to one of connection can bring about deep inner peace. Whether you're wrestling with anxiety, seeking meaning, or just trying to navigate life with more grace, this class offers both spir...

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right—controlling your anger, resisting temptation, checking all the spiritual boxes—but still not finding the peace or progress you're seeking?

In this episode of The Gita in Action, we explore Bhagavad Gita 5.26 and look at why willpower alone isn’t enough to overcome the forces of desire and anger. These aren't just bad habits—they're rooted in our conditioning and ego. But Krishna doesn’t leave us hanging. He gives us a clear path forward: not by trying harder, but by surrendering deeper.

Through relatable stories and reflec...

In this episode, we explore what it means to reclaim the inner flame—the steady, joyful presence within that doesn’t depend on anything outside of us. Drawing from Bhagavad Gita 5.24–25, we talk about how real happiness arises not from chasing temporary highs, but from turning inward, seeing through life’s dualities, and connecting with the deeper purpose behind it all.

We reflect on how the Gita describes the liberated soul—not as someone disconnected from the world, but as someone who acts with clarity, compassion, and inner freedom. And we ask: What if spiritual life isn’t about esca...

Bhagavad Gita 5.23- We all feel triggered sometimes—by people, situations, or even our own emotions. But what if that moment of intensity is actually a doorway to inner strength and spiritual growth? In this episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita 5.23 and Krishna’s invitation to rise above reactive urges—not by controlling the moment, but by mastering the mind. This isn’t about repression—it’s about transformation. Through the lens of bhakti-yoga, we’ll unpack how tolerating inner storms leads to real freedom, deeper spiritual connection, and more peace within. Whether you're dealing with anger, temptation, or emotional overwhelm, thi...

In this episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5, Verse 22, where Krishna shares a profound truth: material pleasures, though enticing, are ultimately sources of suffering. Why? Because they have a beginning and an end—and whatever is temporary can never satisfy the soul’s deep longing for lasting happiness.

We dive into how fleeting pleasures trap us in cycles of craving and disappointment, and how wisdom means not rejecting pleasure, but seeing its limits clearly. Through relatable examples, insights from Srila Prabhupada’s purport, and practical tools like the "FIT" method (Futility, Insubstantiality, Temporality), this class helps us unders...

We’re surrounded by messages that tell us happiness lies in achieving more, buying more, and being more. But what if real joy doesn’t come from chasing external pleasures—but from turning inward? In this episode, we dive into Bhagavad Gita 5.21, where Krishna reveals the secret to lasting fulfillment. We explore the difference between loud, fleeting desires and our deepest spiritual longing—and how honoring that inner desire leads to a joy that doesn’t fade. Through metaphors, real-life reflections, and Gita wisdom, this episode invites you to step off the treadmill of “never enough” and rediscover the limitless happ...

How do we stay steady when life feels overwhelming—when we’re caught in comparison, pushed by praise or criticism, or tossed by life’s ups and downs? In this episode of The Gita in Action, we explore verses 5.19–20 of Bhagavad Gita As It Is by Srila Prabhupada and learn how spiritual knowledge helps us rise above dualities and rediscover our unshakeable inner self. We’ll talk about: ✨ The soul’s equality beyond external differences ✨ How detachment brings steadiness—not indifference ✨ Letting go of the comparison trap ✨ Practicing bhakti to live from the inside out If you’ve ever wondered how to walk thr...

Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 5, Text 18

In this episode of The Gita in Action Podcast, we dive into the powerful concept of equal vision as taught by Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. 🌟

When we see beyond the material world and recognize the divine essence in all living beings, we begin to experience liberation—free from attachment, aversion, and the influence of the three modes of material nature.

We explore how adopting this vision allows us to stay calm amids...
