  • 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.

E105 Vedanta & Bhagavad Gita | Q&A | Gautamji
Q: Is the placing of the chariot in the middle of the two armies a symbolic representation of opposites in this context? And would this also mean that for our spiritual growth, we need to constantly evaluate our weaknesses and find a middle path?
The placing of the chariot is not a representation of opposites per se; it means the self is beyond the world, and one should continually evaluate weaknesses to progress toward that non-dual realization.
E94. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 3 Verses 35-37 'Yoga of Action' | Gautamji
Q: What impels man to commit sin, despite knowing better?
It is driven by desire, which disrupts a person's true nature and leads to unfulfilled expectations.
E96. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 3 Q&A 'Yoga of Action' | Gautamji
Q: Is Swadharma more a general skill or a specific thing like a job?
Swadharma encompasses a mental aptitude where what you are good at aligns with what you enjoy doing, affecting the field in which you operate.
E96. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 3 Q&A 'Yoga of Action' | Gautamji
Q: What if your inherent nature is evil? Like, you have all these psycho killers, child predators, so many evil people in the world. And what do you do in that case?
While one must use their talents for good, those whose nature leads to harm must be removed from society through justice systems to prevent them from destroying others.
E96. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 3 Q&A 'Yoga of Action' | Gautamji
Q: Gautamji, is your swadharma based on your past karma or your nature? Should you ever try to change your swadharma because you want to be something different?
Swadharma is essentially linked to your past actions and present desires, and it is too strong to change at will. One must recognize it and align their efforts towards a higher purpose while eventually aiming to overcome it for enlightenment.
