Great explaination of Arjuna's question at start of ch 3 and how everything links together. We do not get doubts like Arjuna's question because Srila Prabhupada has explained all the points in a crystal clear way in his purports

[@rekha903]

Srila Prabhupada does something extraordinary in his purports. He focuses that our understanding remains fixed on conclusion of BG. BG talks about many things, but he makes sure that what is most important is not lost.

Very Grateful for these lectures

[@prommilac1090]

Perfection of life is to intensify the remembrance of Krishna. Srila Prabhupada ensures in his purports that we get the conclusive understanding of BG clearly.

[@namratarajdev544]

Hare Krishna Prabhuji, Prabhupada wanted us to be fixed that bhakti yoga is the path to be followed and hence he mentions this in all his purports so that we dont loose our focus from that. very nicely explained the overview of the third chapter and what was confusing, you have made it understandable... thank you

Hare Krishna Peace of Heart is more than peace of mind. This is possible when the relations deepens with the Lord in such situation nothing can break the peace.

[@malathisantosh3444]

Understanding that I need to move in this world only for sake of Yoga and being motivated by any material desires that can make us unhappy. For the soul serving Krishna is the natural desire.

hare krsna

[@rameshshetty2558]

Thank you Prabhuji. It was very educative to understand Shrila Prabhupada's strategy in presenting the Geeta.The conclusive understanding of the BG is that ultimately one should practice Bhakti-yoga. He is giving that knowledge to us throught, considering the contextual requirements also.

14:00 jiva goswami hari namamrta gender nomenclature 22:00 flow of bg is not linear, circular but spiral 41:00 why SP puts Krsna so much where He is not directly mentioned 43:00 Arjuna lived life of bhakta, not a jnani or yogi after hearing BG

nice summart of 3rd chapter is given.

[@avnichauhan9358]

Hare Krishna. Control senses through regulative principles then one will get Lord's mercy Thus for one in KC, 3 fold miseries no longer exists (this depends on our consciousness), thus one's intelligence is well established. If one is not connected to Supreme then there is no intelligence - no steady mind - no peace and then no happiness. As strong wind sweeps away boat similarly uncontrolled senses on which mind focuses can carry away a man's intelligence. So senses restrained then - steady intelligence Self controlled awakens in night and what is day for others, it is night for introspective sage. A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires - that enter like rivers into the ocean, which is ever being filled but is always still - can alone achieve peace, and not the man who strives to satisfy such desires.

Gita 3.3 37:45

[@avnichauhan9358]

Prabhupada in all purport explains different concepts but the conclusive understanding of Bhakti remain forefront. He made sure that what is most important is not lost from our vision. The flow of 3rd chp is spiral. It starts with do KY and if not qualified for KY then do KK and rise to KY. If qualified for JY still do KY to set an example. KK binds one to material but KY liberates. The forces that binds one are Lust and Anger, so control them. Prabhupada explains in 2 ways Conclusive understanding (bhakti - surrender to Supreme) and contextual requirement (Mayavadis remove Krishna where it is mentioned so to counteract them I put Krishna everywhere. 2. Today people hardly read any spiritual literature and so if they open BG and read any purport they get the conclusive knowledge of Krishna Bhakti so what is Krishna gives at end of Gita, Prabhupada gives throughout in Gita) Karma Yoga ultimately culminates to Bhakti so telling Karma Yoga as bhakti in 3.3 is not contradiction but it is fulfillment of Krishna's eventual conclusion. 2.61 gives glimpse of Bhakti
