Finally, the one that I was waiting for. But Sankhya and Vedanta have been a veritable feast too. I urge you to write a book on Gita like you did with the Yoga Sutras.

[@akrishnadevotee]

He did say that he was writing one on Bhagavad Gita. He also said it would take 3 years. I'll ask him about it.

[@satchyan]

Thank you

[@chandanbanakar333]

Guruji a thousand thanks for this 🙏

[@Sol_Invictus77]

Thanks for the lecture Guruji 🙏 Here is how I understand the essence of the Gita, please correct me if I am wrong... The Atman is essentially very different and much higher from Materiality, it is sentient rather then insentient, purusha rather then prakriti. Therefore it's natural state is in the realm of purusha, where everything is perfect, permanent, conscious, rather then in the realm of prakriti, which is imperfect, impermanent, unconscious etc.Therefore it is impossible to find happinness in Samsara. But for whatever reason it's trapped in Samsara, and it cannot escape this realm by just not paying any attention to it. It is bound to act, it cannot choose "not to act", since this is a choice too. Having this, in prakriti there exists a natural hierarchy too. There is still relative good and bad, pure and impure, dharmic and adharmic etc... Therefore Atman needs to choose this good prakritic things not because it wants them, but because choosing good over evil, we purify our heart, and by Ishvara's Grace exist the realm of Samsara.

Bhagavad Gītā with commentary by Edwin Bryan where can I buy this?

[@akrishnadevotee]

Sorry, that was a mistake. It shouldn't be there, I'll remove it.

[@sourabhnphadke]

Dear Guruji, Does Karma always means Vedic Sacrifice all over the Gita?

[@me-ou8rf]

Asat here means changing and not not-being ?

[@EdwinBryantOfficial]

@@me-ou8rf What changes is never is. Momentary existence is also asat.

[@dayanidhi9391]

Which English translation of the Gita is Advaita Prabhu is reading from here? (Maybe it is mentioned, and I probably missed it)

[@akrishnadevotee]

I'm not sure tbh. Maybe it's the SUNY one or the one from Shukavaka Dasa?

[@dayanidhi9391]

​@@akrishnadevotee I never heard of the SUNY Gita, but just looked it up, State University of New York. Thank you.

[@Hermann100]

Dear professor which BG edition you reading from ? Namaste 🎉

[@akrishnadevotee]

I think it's the Shukavaka Dasa's Bhagavad Gita.

[@mohanhegde]

Hello sir, so ultimately after preaching the divine knowledge to Arjuna, at the end of it all as a final conclusion, which path of spirituality does Krishna suggest OR say that it's the ultimate? - The Dvaita path of faith, trust, and Bhakti OR the Advaita path of self-realization in understanding that everything is ONE universal consciousness (including him, Arjuna, and all other beings and things)? Is there some clarity given to this OR does Krishna say that we can choose whichever path resonates more within us? 🙏🕉️
