“In the banquet hall of Ravindra Natya Mandir, Prabhadevi, Swami Swatmanandaji was invited by the Ruchika Club (A wing) today on 24th June. The new committee was taking over today and it was the first meeting under them. We thank the founder members Smt. Asha Jhunjhunwala, Smt. Sarita shroff and the committee of Ruchika Club (A Wing) for the opportunity. The topic chosen was " Spirituality in Practice". Swamiji addressed the approx 90 ladies present there in Hindi and made it very relatable. He made the talk interactive and very engaging. There was lots to implement and carry over in our lives when Swamiji took a verse from the Bhagavad Geeta and elaborated upon it. Satvik food, sweetness in speech, detachment in relationships, dexterity in action, equanimity in acceptance of karma phala, purity and clarity in thought and dissolution of the ahankara was explained so beautifully , interspersed with numerous examples and lot of humour to make the subject clear to everyone present. The talk was extremely inspiring and very well received.Everyone was invited to join the devi groups as Swamiji spoke about them. From the Chinmaya Sagar Zonal committee, the President Smt. Reena Rajpal, Vice President Smt. Shruti Somani and Secretary Smt. Sujata Murali were also introduced to the members and Reenaji thanked them for giving a stall to Chinmaya Mission in their NGO category and extending support to our Mission, in the Ruchika bazaar that they host ( this year the dates are 1st, 2nd August).

A good part of Chapter 1 in the Bhagavad Geeta is Arjun making excuses for why he doesn't want to engage in battle with his ne'er-do-well cousins. He makes excuse after excuse for why he can't do what he knows he has to do. Will it really do any good? They are my family- I can't stand up to them! It will be bad for my karma if I do something! Sound familiar? In this podcast, we break down all the excuses we make to not do our duty. We discuss how we can stop making excuses and just do the right thing. Arjun had to take on his battles, and so do we.

Situation. Problem. Crisis. When we do not face the situations, they turn into problems, which, when ignored, turn into crisis. Exercises or study or meditation or work etc when done regularly are only situations. But when we ignore them, they become problems or crisis. Bhagavad Geeta tells us to face the challenges of life boldly. It never encourages escapism or avoidance. However unpleasant it may seem, there is no choice in facing the situations of life. Choice is only in how to face them. We can look at them as opportunities for growth or be pessimistic or indifferent or unenthusiastic about them or crib and complain about them. Let us live life with more interest and involvement. Think about what problems or crisis you are going through, which were just a situation before. Also Think, what are mere situations now, which can become problems or crisis later? Starting meeting these situations. Now.

Zarur aur Zarur sune!
In this very important verse from the Bhagavad Geeta, Krishna shares a powerful analogy of how the jiva (soul) casts off the body and takes a new one just like how one would shed off old garments and wear new ones. Swamiji delves into the law of action and reaction as he sheds more light into this nuanced topic.

Do you need to believe in God to have faith? Not necessarily, according to Krishna. Surprised? But you do need to have faith in the teachings of the Bhagavad Geeta. How do we build that faith? And what is the role of that faith in managing our anxieties? In this podcast, we outline the specific tips described in the Geeta to build our faith in God and in the teachings of the Geeta. It's a lot simpler than you think. You just have to have a little faith. Don't forget to subscribe to, rate, and review the Geeta Girl Podcast!

“What if God was one of us, Just a slob like one of us?” In her song “One of Us” Joan Osborne, wonders the same the thing so many of us do- who and what is God?

Did you know that Krishna invented the rave, the all night dance party? Krishna is a lover of joy and an important part of his teachings in the Bhagavad Geeta is how to experience true happiness. But how can we experience true joy if we are feeling anxious? Even before the pandemic, we have all felt moments (maybe a lot of moments) of fear and worry. In this third season, we will focus on how the Bhagavad Geeta is an epic therapy session from Krishna to Arjun (and us!) on how to deal with our panic attacks, anxiety, and fears. In this first episode of the season we talk about how we can let go of all of it.

To comfort Arjuna's grief, Krishna reveals the truth of how there never was a time when any of us did not exist. The ‘I' Krishna speaks of is the Self of everybody, not the individual ego-centric identity we associate with. Understanding the permanence of the one true Self is a hallmark of the wise student of the Bhagavad Geeta!

The Bhagavad Gita is a text that's fascinated generations of humanity. For yoga teachers, this text is extremely valuable for life. I will be exploring this text in more future episodes as it's impossible to capture its essence in just one episode.My guest today is Luvena Rangel, the founder of curvy yogi. A body-positive yoga teacher, cultural appropriation advocate, teacher trainer & more...Luvena talks about the role of the Bhagavad Geeta in her own life as well as nuances of this text. Luvena talks about it's not so much about studying the Gita. It's more about who you're studying the Gita from that matters. How not to get lost in a sea of translations and to work with master teachers who live the message of the Geeta every single day. Episode highlights...Luvena’s journey into yogaWhy is the Bhagavad Gita important in a yoga teacher’s life?What is the Bhagavad Gita?How to explore and learn the GitaThe relationship between Arjuna and KrishnaWhere’s the yoga in the Gita?Is it possible to differentiate the yogas?Where to start learning Bhagavad GitaJoin our mailing list: https://www.aham.yoga/instagram-2021 for all episodes.You can find all the resources mentioned in this episode in the show notes at https://letstalk.yoga/Connect with us on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/arundhati_baitmangalkar/Join our exclusive Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/letstalkyoga
In Hinduism, heaven and hell exist both in this life and in the hereafter. Here, they are realms of consciousness that we experience in our own minds. We either daydream positive scenarios or replay negative reactions of our actions in our head. Just like Arjuna, we too, glorify our weaknesses or just want to escape. We too, lose clarity when faced with our attachments. However, when we accept we don’t know and can no longer see clearly, our sorrow transforms. With surrender, we can detach and move forward.
Most of our thoughts centre around “me” and we become egocentric individuals as we think we are separate from everyone else. More importantly, we start thinking we are separate from the Lord, the light or the Supreme truth. But when we bow down and sincerely surrender ourselves, no thought of “me” or “I am” exists. Our mind is completely tuned into the Supreme, and we feel connected. The Geeta Dhyanam are such invocation mantras that help us in establishing that connection and staying there.
When fear, other emotions, and attachments creep into the mind, it automatically becomes weak. A weak mind looks for reasons to blame our sorrows, difficulties, and problems on. A weak mind loses clarity on why we are acting and what it is we want. A weak mind uses wise quotes or scriptures to justify its weakness. This is why we can relate to Arjuna. And when emotions get the better of us this way, it is sometimes better to watch the movement of the mind as a wave and simply let it pass.
Be it at the level of body, mind or intellect, anything that gives us joy attracts us. Thus, what attracts us the most is that which would give us the greatest joy. But instant gratification of our desires empowers us to go after temporary pleasures. And when faced with a situation that directly conflicts with our attachments, we become weak. Our resolve breaks and we can become complacent. This behaviour is what we are trying to be more aware of so that we can grow to be the very best we can be.
Chapter 1 lays the foundation so that when Krishna speaks, we can understand. But most front covers of published Geetas (i.e., Arjuna’s chariot) depict a great philosophy. In short, the chariot is our body, 5 horses our senses, reins our mind and charioteer our intellect. Plus, Arjuna represents the Jiva (us) who is Sattvic. Empowered by purity, selflessness, and other virtues, surrender it all and let Lord Krishna take the reins. Only once emptied can then we be filled with knowledge and feel His grace.
Swami Tejomayananda ji jokes, “What does it mean when a man opens the car door for his wife? Either it’s a new car or a new wife!” Attachment to objects and people changes the way we see the world and act in it for we add onto them a value. So during decision-making, we get swayed towards our attachments and away from Dharma, what we know is right. By repeatedly choosing Adharma, Dhritarashtra and Duryodhana were so weakened that they couldn’t accept grace into their lives. Shouldn’t we choose to do better?
Shri Krishna Gita Gyan- by Lord Krishna
Our minds are blinded by attachments, but our intellect can see. We are constantly making decisions that shape who we become and the destiny we face. Do we listen to the mind or intellect? Though Arjuna was faced with the epic Mahabharata war, this is the war that is eternally waged in our hearts. Our war is but the battles we face minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour, day-to-day and week-to-week. This new series is a discourse on the Bhagavad Geeta, rooted in the commentary of Pujya Gurudev, Swami Chinmayananda.
There is a verse in the Bhagavad Geeta that reads “na me bhakta pranashyati”. Shri Krishna promises that each one of us will be liberated, taken care of by him, and supported. So today, let us be grateful for promises. Whether it is His promise or any other promise you made, let us be thankful for it and appreciate how these promises have helped build our lives.

This episode is a recording of a webinar that our podcast host, Devesh Tilokani co hosted around solving the mental health crisis from a spiritual and scientific perspective. The two panelists on this webinar are Swami Swatmananda from the Chinmaya Mission and Dr. Sunita Shanker Svami Swatmanda has been serving in Chinmaya Mission Mumbai since 2000. Chinmaya Mission is an organization that follows the Vedic teacher student tradition and makes available the ageless wisdom of Advaita Vedanta, the knowledge of universal oneness, providing the tools to realize the wisdom of one's life. He expounds the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta through talks on the Bhagavad Geeta, Upanishads and other texts of Vedanta & bhakti through camps, meditation retreats, interactive sessions and discussions for youth & adults. He has also addressed several multinational organizations such as Toyota, PwC, Tata Motors, Reliance and many more.
