Brahmarpanam - Food Prayer from the Bhagavad Gita

There are two shlokas (chants) from the Bhagavad Gita that are popularly chanted before one's meal. The above is a lecture delivered at the Kaivalya Yoga Gurukulam as part of the lecture sessions that are offered every day.
The lecture is delivered by Sunder Iyer, who is the Founder of Kaivalya Yoga Gurukulam (a.k.a) . KYG is a non-profit organization devoted to raising awareness of the spiritual aspects surrounding Yoga, in addition to intense physical practice. KYG disseminates the philosophy and science of Yoga essentially as a Spiritual Practice, aimed towards Self Actualization and Self Realization. When learnt and practiced in this manner, Yoga becomes an Empowered and Enlightened Lifestyle.

Very lucid explanation, so simple down to earth, and practical. After listening to your talk I have got a new orinientation of what I should eat and how I should eat. Though I have been reciting Brahmarpanam, your talk has given me an in depth understanding. Sairam

A divine talk thank you for the inspiration. The first time I heard Swami's discourses in summer school Brindavan 1978 he spoke of the benefit of eating raw food. Your talk so reminds me of this lovely memory. Your wisdom here is like Baba's nectar. Jai Sai Ram.

Beautiful and simple explanation. What is happening when the spiritual aspirant does experience restlessness and/or hunger during elevated conversation/lectures such as this? Om

[@KYGYoga]

Hari Om 🙏 the emptiness in the stomach that is often felt during or immediately after an elevated conversation/lecture or Satsang is often due to movement of Prana. Sipping half glass of water slowly, most often helps in quelling this feeling without disturbing the Pranic movement. It's a good idea to also silently contemplate while sipping water, ruminating on the topic for about 15/30 minutes immediately following such conversation/lecture.

@@KYGYoga thank you so much for such a speedy reply. This is wonderful news. Since this is an indication “Prana” is moving. How to guide the aspirant while in this state? Very grateful for the reply.

[@KYGYoga]

@@ilabarlean1214 You're most welcome. Simple silent contemplation on ideas, concepts and dreams moves Prana. Slowly and surely this practice will guide you to deep meditation. Allow this to happen naturally :) Hari Om 🙏
