  • The real and practical wisdom

    Growing up in India, the Bhagavad Gita was a familiar name. However, I used to consider it merely a religious book. That ignorance prevailed until I started listening to Gautamji's discourses. Not only does it follow a structured approach, but it also offers practical ways to overcome the challenges of life. Without his teachings, I would have never believed that we can be both peaceful and productive at the same time

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E125 Vedanta & Bhagavad Gita | Q&A | Gautamji
Q: Can Shraddha be cultivated if one's mind is unsettled or scattered by daily attachments?
Yes, by first increasing awareness in moments of agitation, then gradually withdrawing attachment, and maintaining a single pointed focus on truth, Shraddha grows and guides action.
E125 Vedanta & Bhagavad Gita | Q&A | Gautamji
Q: What is the relationship between vasanas and Shraddha?
Vasanas are past conditioning; Shraddha represents the current, determined effort to transcend those patterns by consistently pursuing higher goals and self-realization.
E125 Vedanta & Bhagavad Gita | Q&A | Gautamji
Q: How does one know or develop Shraddha?
Shraddha develops through a disciplined process: recognizing the temporary nature of worldly pursuits, reflecting on what is permanent, and steadily aligning thoughts and actions toward self-understanding; it starts with faith but matures into knowledge through sustained effort.
E124. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 4 Q&A | Gautamji
Q: Do you have any technique to stay selfless all the time?
There is no simple technique; the recommended approach is to build the intellect through study and reflection so that the mind naturally gravitates toward a higher purpose and selflessness.
E124. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 4 Q&A | Gautamji
Q: If you are genuinely working for the higher, why do you want to spoil it by a tinge of selfishness?
The guidance is to aim for selflessness and use tools like study, reflection, and structured Vedanta learning to steadily purify motivation and align daily deeds with the higher ideal.
