Do you ever feel like you're just spinning your wheels? You're working hard, trying to do the right thing, but you still end up feeling stressed, anxious, and bound by the results of your actions.

Geeta Chapter 3 karmayoga Verse 3

From Mandalay Jail, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak wrote Gita Rahasya — a bold reinterpretation of the Bhagavad Gita.

Geeta Chapter 3 Karmayoga Verse 1 and 2

Azrael wollte eigentlich nur Yoga machen - und landete in einer toxischen Bewegung. Zusammen mit Christiane Hawranek vom Podcast "Seelenfänger” sprechen Auri und Sebastian über Karma-Yoga, absurde Tantra-Rituale und Azraels Ausstieg.

In this episode, Swamiji explores the harmony between intense effort and deep spirituality, drawing profound insights from the Ishavasya Upanishad. Listeners will discover how Shree Krishna's teachings empower us to pursue excellence in worldly duties while remaining inwardly anchored in divine consciousness. Through the lens of Karma Yoga, Swamiji reveals how clarity, detachment, and remembrance of God transform work into worship and performance into spiritual practice.  Building upon our previous episode about the spiritual secret of success, this discussion deepens your understanding of how devotion and discipline can co-exist, allowing you to thrive materially without compromising your spiritual essence. Tune in to enrich your journey into the philosophical depths of the Upanishads and elevate your quest for truth, devotion, and enlightenment. 

What does it mean to take action without attachment—especially when your Dharma feels messy, uncomfortable, or misunderstood? In this episode, I dive deep into Chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna teaches Karma Yoga—the path of selfless action—to a conflicted Arjuna. We explore how to navigate the tension between duty and desire, and why authentic action is essential for both spiritual growth and collective harmony. I break down:

Can wisdom be shared in a minute? In this profound and thought-provoking conversation, Prof. Debashis Chatterjee—author, philosopher, and Director of IIM Kozhikode—challenges our conventional notions of time, knowledge, and reality. Drawing from his new book One Minute Wisdom, he explores how life's most transformative insights often strike in seconds—not through theory, but through lived experience.From near-death moments to simple acts of integrity, Prof. Chatterjee shares powerful real-life stories that embody Karma Yoga and spiritual presence. He explains why Indian philosophy is not intellectual speculation, but a lived, embodied truth that emerges when our mental models collapse.This episode invites you to reflect on those flashes of insight when life demands more than thought—it demands awakening.“It took a lifetime to write, a minute to express, and another lifetime to practice.Key Takeaways:Wisdom can be lived in a second, not just shared in a minute.Reality often challenges our mental models, leading to wisdom.Reflection is crucial for effective leadership and personal growth.Our past experiences shape our present identity and decisions.Mind management involves reducing distractions and increasing awareness.Inadequacy drives many to seek achievement, but acceptance is key.Indian philosophy emphasizes transformation over mere speculation.Writing should stem from personal experience and authenticity.Moments of clarity can lead to profound realizations.Stillness is inherent to our nature, often disturbed by external chaos.Chapters:00:00 Highlights01:01 Introduction 02:06 The Essence of Wisdom in a Minute06:01 Puppets of the Past: Unraveling Identity10:03 Mind Management: Clarity Over Control13:54 The Power of Stillness in Leadership19:17 Understanding Chaos and Order22:30 The Importance of Reflection in Leadership25:40 Inadequacy: The Universal Human Experience30:49 The Transformative Nature of Indian Philosophy36:36 Bridging Eastern Wisdom with Western Leadership40:48 The Evolution of Writing and Simplicity45:10 The Essence of Leadership and Learning from Moments50:50 Lessons in Humility from CatsConnect with UsMohua Chinappa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohua-chinappa/The Mohua Show: https://www.themohuashow.com/Connect with the GuestProf. Debashis Chatterjee: https://www.linkedin.com/in/debashischatterjee1/Follow UsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMohuaShowLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/themohuashow/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themohuashowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/themohuashow/For any other queries EMAILhello@themohuashow.comDisclaimerThe views expressed by our guests are their own.

Purusarthas – 4 Desires – MokshaMoksha is the ultimate desire...liberation from ignorance (avidya), the cycle of birth and death (samsara), and the effects of karma. It is the realization of one's true self (Atman), transcending the ego and achieving union with the divine (Brahman), leading to eternal bliss and peace.Yogis pursue Moksha through various paths: Hatha Yoga (physical practices), Raja Yoga (meditation), Jnana Yoga (knowledge), Karma Yoga (selfless service), and Bhakti Yoga (devotion). By practicing self-inquiry, mindfulness, and non-attachment (vairagya), they purify the mind and cultivate virtues such as compassion and forgiveness.Sacred texts like the Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita offer insights into Moksha, while guidance from a guru or one's inner wisdom (buddhi) aids the journey. Devotion and surrender help yogis transcend the ego and merge with the divine. With dedication and grace, Moksha brings profound liberation and spiritual transcendence, fulfilling the soul's deepest longing.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

We suggest about 5 different practices you can do to celebrate Śrāvaṇa, the month of Śiva:1. Vratam. Many people will observing vows like abstaining from a particular kind of food (salt, sugar, pickles etc.) or observing sunrise-sunset fasts or keeping vigils etc. Generally, these vows are observed on all the Mondays of this śrāvana period and so it is often called the Śrāvaṇa Somavara Vrātam (The Monday Observance of Śrāvaṇa) since Mondays are sacred to Lord Śiva. You can decide just what kind of thing to offer or to abstain from as part of your vrāta, vow, just whatever that is do-able and reasonable and makes spiritual sense and is spiritually nourishing to you. This is a bit like the Christian concept of lent, I suppose. 2. Japa (Puraścarana). You can pledge to chant a certain number of repetitions of your dīkshā mantra or any śiva mantra that you like (we often suggest the pancakshara mantra) every day during this period or just on the Mondays. When we systematically chant a certain number of mantras daily for a fixed period of time, we call that "puraścarana". Generally, we recommend that we sit in the same place, at the same time when we do our chanting and generally we suggests that you chant on a rudrāksha-mālā since those beads are sacred to Śiva. You get to decide what number you'd like to pledge, whatever number that is do-able and reasonable and spiritually nourishing for you. 3. Pūjā. Every Monday (or if you want, every day) during this period you can perform a pañcāmrita pūjā and/or a pañcopacāra-pūjā to your Shiva lingam or murti. We demonstrate this simple and elegant pūjā towards the end of this video but you can find all the mantras in Sanskrit with transliteration and translation as well as the ritual procedure in the description of this video. 4. Kirtana/Bhajana. A chanting practice is very beautiful and nourishing since it is essentially, like pūjā, a celebration! Perhaps you might decide to chant some hymns to Shiva on the Mondays or every day; you might simply commit to learning (and memorizing) a specific hymn that you like. (l) Nirvāna-śatakam 5. Karma Yoga. And our favorite practice of all as part of the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda lineage: worshipping Shiva in the form of the jīva, the embodied soul. As Christ said "that which you do unto the least of ye, you do unto me", the best possible pūjā is to actually serve everyone (including plants & animals & spirits & what not) in a spirit of worship. Never think you are helping anyone. Instead, feel that everyone is giving you an opportunity to worship God by coming to you for help. Don't feel that they owe you any gratitude for your having helped them. Rather, you be grateful to them for giving you the opportunity to worship God through them. In this way, your work, your daily tasks, all become transformed into Śiva-pūjā. This is the acme of non-duality, to recognize each movement of life as an encounter with the divine!May all beings, who are none other than Shiva, worship Shiva!

In this talk we discuss Karma Yoga as a spiritual pathway in the context of a self-centered world. Self-centeredness is the enemy of self-realization and modern society's focus on the fulfillment of individual desires as being of paramount importance has led to unprecedented levels of unhappiness, depression, and mental health issues. I refer to experts like Gus Speth and Tristan Harris to illustrate how selfishness and technology-driven self-absorption are creating societal problems. We then explore how yoga is best understood as the union between the individual soul and the Supreme Soul, with karma yoga specifically being the path of selfless action. While karma (action) binds us to the material world, selfless service is liberating and awakens one to their true identity. Our natural spiritual function is to love and serve, and adopting a life of selfless service transforms one's existence.The quotes I used:When we speak of yoga we refer to linking up our consciousness with the Supreme Absolute Truth. Such a process is named differently by various practitioners in terms of the particular method adopted. When the linking up process is predominantly in fruitive activities, it is called karma-yoga, when it is predominantly empirical, it is called jñāna-yoga, and when it is predominantly in a devotional relationship with the Supreme Lord, it is called bhakti-yoga. Commentary by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada - Bhagavad-gītā 6.46The Blessed Lord said: O sinless Arjuna, I have already explained that there are two classes of men who realize the Supreme Soul. Some are inclined to understand Him by empirical, philosophical speculation, and others are inclined to know Him by devotional work. Bhagavad-gītā 3.3Work done as a sacrifice for Viṣṇu [the Supreme] has to be performed, otherwise work binds one to this material world. Therefore, O son of Kuntī, perform your prescribed duties for His satisfaction, and in that way you will always remain unattached and free from bondage. Bhagavad-gītā 3.9One who restrains the senses and organs of action, but whose mind dwells on sense objects, certainly deludes himself and is called a pretender. Bhagavad-gītā 3.6On the other hand, he who controls the senses by the mind and engages his active organs in works of devotion, without attachment, is by far superior. Bhagavad-gītā 3.7One who neither hates nor desires the fruits of his activities is known to be always renounced. Such a person, liberated from all dualities, easily overcomes material bondage and is completely liberated, O mighty-armed Arjuna. Bhagavad-gītā 5.3One who knows that the position reached by means of renunciation can also be attained by works in devotional service and who therefore sees that the path of works and the path of renunciation are one, sees things as they are. Bhagavad-gītā 5.5Therefore, without being attached to the fruits of activities, one should act as a matter of duty; for by working without attachment, one attains the Supreme. Bhagavad-gītā 3.19Therefore, O Arjuna, surrendering all your works unto Me, with mind intent on Me, and without desire for gain and free from egoism and lethargy, fight. Bhagavad-gītā 3.30One who executes his duties according to My injunctions and who follows this teaching faithfully, without envy, becomes free from the bondage of fruitive actions. Bhagavad-gītā 3.31"One who has taken his birth as a human being…. should make his life successful and work for the benefit of all other people. - Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Ādi-līlā 9.41"It is the duty of every living being to perform welfare activities for the benefit of others with his life, wealth, intelligence and words." - Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Ādi-līlā 9.42‘By his work, thoughts and words, an intelligent man must perform actions which will be beneficial for all living entities in this life and in the next.' - Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Ādi-līlā 9.43

What does it mean to act without attachment—and why is that the key to spiritual freedom? Chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita is so rich, I had to split it into two parts—and this second half is where the real philosophical firepower kicks in

In this episode of Shadow to Self, Acharya Shunya flips the script: Real yogis don't chase life—they serve it. And that's when life starts giving back. Drawing from the fire of Karma Yoga, she reveals the true turning point: when your life becomes an offering, not a performance. The Yogi's Way to Win in Life Yoga isn't a chase. It's a fire. Listen now—and stop waiting. Start burning.

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience.I'm your host, Jordan Youkilis, and in this episode, I interview my professor, Dr. Sue Brown, on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. This episode serves as part of the Maharishi Vedic Science miniseries, so if you enjoy this discussion, check out the rest of the series in episodes 47-53.In this conversation, Dr. Brown and I discuss the Bhagavad Gita's setting on a battlefield, the ultimate location of conflict and extreme differences. We discuss how the battlefield is symbolic of the challenges people face in the world. Dr. Brown describes how to go inward to the field of unity in order to transcend these conflicts.Next, we consider this act of transcending as the essence of the Bhagavad Gita, and the practice of Transcendental Meditation as a pathway for avoiding war. Sue describes Chapter 2, Verses 45 and 48 as master keys to unlocking the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. We discuss the events of the Gita in the broader context of the Mahabharata in which they take place.From there, Dr. Brown explains how Maharishi's commentary differs from those of other sages throughout the ages. We consider the universal field of consciousness, which our individual brains reflect. We discuss how Krishna helps Arjuna navigate the conflict between his heart and mind, between the collective consciousness demands for him to defend his people while also having compassion for the family members on the opposing force whom he must kill. Dr. Brown and I discuss how the human dilemmas captured in the Bhagavad Gita are universal issues, encountered throughout the ages.Next, we consider Samkhya (theoretical) and Yoga (practical) knowledge contained in the Gita. We discuss how Arjuna reconciles the sin of murder and war with the transcendental forces of collective consciousness. We consider the time period of the Bhagavad Gita, and the similarities with our current Kali Yuga – an age of stress. We discuss the opportunity we currently have to usher in Satya Yuga, a time of construction and creativity.From there, we dive into Chapter 3 and ideas of Yagya, Dharma, Karma Yoga, the path of action, and Gyana Yoga, the path of knowledge. We discuss why the danger of following another's dharma is more dangerous than death. We then discuss Chapter 4 and how action and renunciation of action are two sides of the same coin. We consider misinterpretations of the Gita, including those who view renunciation/detachment as a necessary state of life, rather than as a state of consciousness. We consider the rise and fall of knowledge throughout time.Dr. Brown explains why Maharishi chose to emphasize his teachings on the practical effect of enlightenment, not just the theoretical knowledge. We discuss the four pillars of Yoga – Raja, Karma, Bhakti and Gyana Yoga, and the concept of Moksha, or liberation. We consider how action in accordance with natural law leads to spontaneous right action, and how the path of enlightenment is one of effortlessness and bliss.We then discuss Krishna's final words to Arjuna in Chapter 6, his guidance: “Therefore, be a Yogi.”. We end the conversation discussing the state of unity consciousness and how Brahmin consciousness refers to regaining memory of totality.Music from the show is available on the Spotify playlist “Entangled – The Vibes”.

In this episode, Eckhart talks with an audience in Hawaii. He jokes that while many are reluctant to leave the island paradise, their task is to bring expanded consciousness to every area of their lives. Eckhart explains as awareness grows, we add a dimension of presence to everything we do. We may work the same job, but we do it in a different way. We become still and then take our insights into action. Eckhart says giving the fullest attention to our performance in the moment is critical. Then whatever task we perform has purpose whether it's creating a work of art or running a company we release excessive focus on the outcome.  The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Hindu text, referred to it as Karma Yoga because Karma means action. When we attend to our daily lives whatever action we take becomes part of our spiritual practice. Want more podcasts from OWN?
