Understand Your True Self 05. Surrender to the divine I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope that this wisdom on how to to build our emotional strength from the philosophy of Lord Krishna will be helpful in your life.  Krishna is an important figure in Hindu philosophy. He is not only seen as a divine being but also as a wise teacher and guide. In the epic story of the Mahabharata, he serves as the charioteer for Arjuna, a brave warrior. Arjuna faces a serious existential crisis on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where he struggles with doubts and confusion about his duty. As he prepares to fight, he feels torn because he has to battle against his own family, teachers, and friends. This heavy burden of sorrow and compassion makes him question if the war is right and whether he should even fight at all. During this difficult time, Krishna steps in to help Arjuna. He is not just a divine figure; he is a caring mentor who understands Arjuna's internal conflict. Krishna realizes that Arjuna's struggle reflects challenges we all experience in life. Through the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, he offers advice that goes beyond the battle, touching on key concepts such as duty, action without attachment and the importance of devotion. The bhagavad Gita is a 700-verse Hindu text that is part of the Indian epic Mahabharata. It tells the story of a deep conversation between Arjuna and Krishna just before going into battle. In this conversation, Krishna shares important spiritual wisdom and guidance to help Arjuna deal with his inner struggles and confusion about fighting in the war. It is important to note that the Bhagavad Gita isn't promoting actual warfare or physical conflict; instead, it uses the battlefield as a metaphor for the inner struggle against the ignorance and moral dilemmas we experience.And just like Arjuna, we all deal with conflicts and tough decisions. Krishna's wisdom for Arjuna; well it's for all of us

Every story has a Villain & every Villain has a story.....

I have been wanting to do a deep dive on the Bhagavad Gita for years. This rich text is often called the “jewel” of the Mahabharata and can be kind of intimidating to talk about. There is so much to cover. That's why this podcast will be the first in a series about the Bhagavad Gita. We'll start with exploring the profound themes of this amazing text and contrasting it with the Yoga Sutras. We'll talk about how the dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna serves as a guide for navigating our own moral dilemmas. Listen and learn:

Dr. Manish Pandit is a physician who lives in the United Kingdom. He arrived in England in the mid 1990's and trained as a surgeon (FRCS General Surgery and FRCS ENT) before switching career streams to Nuclear Medicine and obtaining a Masters with a Merit from Kings College in the process. He is an alumnus of BJ Medical College in Pune. He has published on many research topics within the fields of medicine and is a senior tutor for medical students in England as well as regional director for training in his medical speciality.Dr Manish has had an active interest in Indian history and spirituality since he was 21 years old, which is also when he met his Guru, Nakhate Maharaj. However he considers that spirituality (and alignment with so called dharma) is mostly useless unless closely moving with humanity and compassion on the ground in real life. It is easy for those who have not been miserable in life and not been engaged in the service of others for decades to be dismissive of any other sentient being's troubles as mere “thought” or “nonsense”. Medicine provides him that impetus as nothing moves humans more than the sight of others suffering.He maintains an extensive personal library of books on Indology. He has studied the dating of the Mahabharata sufficiently enough to be considered as an expert on dating the Mahabharata using ancient Indian astronomy and is considered as a student of Dr Narahari Achar (a physics professor from Memphis who dated the Mahabharata to 3067 BCE).He is also a director, scriptwriter and cinematographer, who is known for making films on topics which very few within the broadcast and non-broadcast media like to touch. He has made several films including the acclaimed Krishna: History or Myth, Mumbai: Pani Mafia, SaiBaba: An Indian Jesus, Bharat ek Chetna and perhaps his best known film “The Ishrat Jahan Conspiracy (2014)”.His films can be divided into two principal categories, those which pertain to religion and those which pertain to politics. Apart from his feature length documentaries, he also makes short films which can be seen on saraswatifilms.org.

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”.

Mega Dogma - INDIA (Los Textos del Mahabharata) - Documentales

Unlike rules-based teachings prevalent in both modern and ancient texts, Vedic teachings are renowned for not prescribing commandments or rigid “rules.” Instead, Veda offer timeless wisdom through lessons that we can interpret and apply according to our level of consciousness.One of the core Vedic teachings, The Mahabharata, contains a specific set of chapters known as the Bhagavad Gita — the Song of God. Within these chapters lies a profound teaching distilled into just five words that, if fully understood and implemented, have the power to end our suffering.In English, these words are: “Established in Being, perform action.”In this episode, Thom unpacks the meaning and transformative impact of this teaching. He also shares the technique that enables all of us to integrate this wisdom into our daily lives.If you'd like to dive deeper into the Bhagavad Gita, we invite you to take a look at Thom's Exploring the Bhagavad Gita series of courses. These engaging and lively courses examine how the ancient and profound lessons of the Bhagavad Gita can be applied to modern life. You can find out more at https://thomknoles.com/bhagavad-gita/,Episode Highlights[00:45] The God Song[03:34] Mahabharata[05:29] Pandavas and Kauravas[08:12] Krishna's Choice: Army or Advisor/Charioteer?[09:47] Arjuna's Dilemma[13:09] Go Beyond All Relativity, Perform Action[16:29] How to Solve All Problems[19:11] Brahman Saṃsparsash: The Kiss of Totality[22:12] The Universe Having a Human ExperienceUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

"I do believe that literature is a very important source of knowledge complementary to history, epigraphy and archaeology. It is not easy to read drama at the best of times. It is even more difficult to read Sanskrit drama because it is quite out of the ordinary! But there is a lot of timelessness in these plays, however strange they may seem with their tigers, elephants and tantriks! The human elements are the ones we still completely recognize - love, jealousy and ambition. We haven't changed; we are laughing at the same things that people 2000 years ago were laughing at! One of the criteria for choosing the plays was that all the great playwrights had to be represented. And I didn't want to use plays based on the Ramayana and the Mahabharata because we already know those stories. This is a book about introducing different narratives to a lay public. Also, I wanted people to be aware that the millennium of classical Sanskrit drama does not come out of a Hindu universe alone. It comes out of a universe of political diversity, cultural diversity, religious diversity. But it's true that it is also a common universe however much people might have different ideologies and different religions; there are social mores that hold them all together" - Arshia Sattar, author, Vasanta; Stories from Sanskrit Plays talks to Manjula Narayan on the Books & Authors podcast about ancient plays like Shudraka's Mricchakatika ( The Little Clay Cart), Mahendravarman's The Holy Man and the Courtesan, and Harsha's Nagananda, among others, that continue to appeal to us

The text of Kuvempu's epic Kannada novel, Malegalalli Madumagalu (1967), and the recent translation, Bride in the Hills by Vanamala Viswanatha (Penguin Random House, 2024), will be discussed by an eminent panel of scholars, writers and the translator. Set in 1893 in the Malnad region of the Western Ghats with its majestic Sahyadri ranges, dense forests, and river Tunga, Kuvempu's Malegalalli Madumagalu (Bride in the Hills) describes the saga of not one young woman but many, of varied hues, who aspire for love and fulfilment in marriage, in a self-serving, male feudal order. An organic network of interrelated stories, the well-known Kannada writer Devanoora Mahadeva locates the novel in the epic tradition of the Mahabharata and Tolstoy's War and Peace. This woman-centric text weaves together the touching plight of young couples in love, such as Gutti and Timmi, from a Dalit community living on the ghats; Aita and Pinchalu, migrant labourers from below the ghats, and Mukundayya and Chinnamma from the land-owning Shudra caste. Fired from within by their love – the most powerful agent of change – these young people seek a life of freedom and dignity, leading to the transformation of the larger community. Their heartening stories are juxtaposed against the travails of hapless Nagakka and scheming Venkatanna, sickly Deyi and brute Chinkra, and gullible Kaveri and lecherous Devayya. All of them are, in different ways, up against the repressive regimes of the decadent landlords, who manipulate traditional feudal practices as well as the modern apparatus of a colonial state.  True to its claim as an epic novel, Kuvempu's text with its multiple narrative strands vividly enacts its mission statement in the epigraph: “Here, no one is important; no one is unimportant; nothing is insignificant!” Every sentient and insentient thing – the degenerate Chinkra, orphan Dharmu, Huliya the dog, Biri the cat, the evergreen forest, the Hulikal Peak – has a place and a purpose in this narrative. Imbued with an ecological consciousness, the novel offers a veritable biodiversity register of the Malnad region. Kuvempu presents a ‘view from below', a subaltern perspective which also takes in the world of the wealthy and powerful. Winner of the first Sahitya Akademi award in 1955 and the Jnanpith in 1967, Kuvempu (Kuppali Venkatappa Puttappa 1904-1994) inaugurated the non-brahmin era in modern Kannada writing. Kuvempu's versatile oeuvre includes a vast body of poetry, plays, novels, children's writing, essays and an autobiography. While his poetic epic ‘Shri Ramayana Darshanam' is a radical rewriting of the Valmiki epic drawing from the Jaina tradition, the two novels, The Kanur House (made into a film by Girish Karnad) and Bride in the Hills, are modern novels set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Inspired by Tolstoy's expansive canvas and Tagore's unique Indian ethos, this first significant Shudra writer and an iconic figure in Kannada culture, has sculpted an entirely regional epic novel in Bride in the Hills.

I wish she was around for many reasons, especially so she could have met her great granddaughter. This woman lived up to her name, and was the most caring a person could be. I was truly fortunate to have had her as a grandmother.Having done so much study, I was constantly encountered with information that showed despicable acts or origins of so many time-honored traditions and figures. I wondered where all the good, noble, and just people were, and why we were venerating unscrupulous scoundrels instead. The Tanakh is littered with unsavory characters whose criminal deeds and lack of character left me asking, "Is this the best we can do? Especially for this religion that is not even from my culture? Why are we only championing terribly flawed and ruthless men?Undeterred, and unaccepting of the notion of "the human condition," I never lost my own personal faith in mankind. There had to be a noble, family oriented, just, and fair people somewhere. I got tipped off by another reader of history, and I was determined to find out if untainted roots of man were to be found in this group of people. What I found revitalized me. My quest had led to the Goths, and their history, our history, our heritage, has been deliberately stolen, co-opted, inverted, slandered, and often completely erased from the record. What I didn't find in those dark grimoires they pass off as religion I found in the histories of the Men from the North, the bringers of culture, civilization, and innovation. These were the creators of a Noble culture. And they battled many of the dark forces that have since regained a stranglehold over Man through their tactics of moral erosion, artificial social constructs, and cunning treachery. These are the culture destroyers. They were a despicable death cult then, and they're a despicable death cult now.LOAD UP for Christmas:https://SemperFryLLC.com to get Priestcraft: Beyond Babylon, AWESOME Hot Sauce and Creatine-HCL.

Among young people these days, it is common to refer to each other as ‘Bro' meaning a friend, a buddy, someone close like a brother.  While parent-child relationships often take centre stage in discussions about families, the sibling relationship is highly underrated and yet serves as a foundation for one's maturity and personal growth. How did siblings relate to each other in our Itihaasas, particularly the Ramayana and Mahabharata? We receive some insights on how they upheld Dharma.

At 100,000 verses, the ancient Indian epic ‘The Mahabharata' is the longest epic poem ever written. Due to its focus on conflict amongst family — and its explorations of illusion, reality and truth — Nartana Premachandra felt it fitting inspiration for Dances of India St. Louis' 2024 annual performance, which falls just after the Nov. 5 elections. She discusses her original play script “Dreams of the Dark Prince” and how it combines movement and storytelling to tell the story of Prince Duryodhana, one of the Mahabharata's central characters.

On Vyasa's advice Yudhistir decides to perform the Aswamedha Yagna or the horse sacrifice. In the meantime, Uttara gives birth to a still born baby. Krishna revives the child and names him Parikshit. Arjun then follows the horse with his army and wins the confidence of all the kingdoms the horse passes through. The only challenge he had to face was from his son Babrubahan, the prince of Manipur.Find us on:Twitter: @MahabharatAudioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MahabharataPodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/mahabharata Hosted on Acast.

"If you feel you have something worth saying, why not take the effort and pursue it?" — Jude Berman In this episode, host Mike Carlon uncorks the story of Jude Berman, an award-winning author and former editor who made the leap from publishing other people's books to writing her own. Jude reflects on her journey through the changing landscape of publishing, her experience with hybrid publishing, and the deeply personal motivations behind her latest novel, The Die. Set in a futuristic Silicon Valley and weaving in ancient Eastern traditions, Jude's work explores activism, storytelling, and the challenges of navigating today's polarized world. Key Themes Jude's Transition from Editor to Author. After years of working on other people's books, Jude realized she had her own stories to tell. Her background as an editor gave her valuable insight into the publishing world, but it took time for her to embrace her identity as an author and commit to getting her work out into the world. Hybrid Publishing as the Future of the Industry. Jude discusses why hybrid publishing—an alternative model that blends traditional publishing with self-publishing—is gaining traction, especially for authors who don't fit the mold of what major publishers typically seek. For her, it offered the best of both worlds, allowing creative control without the overwhelming demands of self-publishing. Blending Ancient Stories with Future Tech in Fiction. The Die merges timeless stories from the Mahabharata with a futuristic Silicon Valley backdrop, creating a unique narrative that connects past wisdom with future dilemmas. Jude reveals how she used these ancient texts to explore contemporary issues in a way that resonates with modern readers. Activism Through Storytelling. Jude views her writing as a form of activism, aiming to create fiction that not only entertains but also sparks meaningful dialogue about current societal challenges. She believes that stories can be a powerful tool for change, helping readers reflect on issues like injustice and power dynamics. The Realities of Modern Publishing and Author Ageism. In a youth-obsessed industry, Jude faced challenges in getting her work published due to the emphasis on younger, social media-savvy authors. She candidly discusses the barriers older writers face, and how hybrid publishing offered a solution when traditional routes closed. Writing as a Response to Personal and Societal Challenges. Jude emphasizes the therapeutic and transformative power of writing, particularly when it responds to both personal and larger societal events. She encourages aspiring authors to write for themselves first, stressing that not every piece needs to be published, but writing can still have immense value.

In this episode of Cyrus Says, bestselling author Kavita Kané joins Cyrus to discuss her revolutionary approach to Indian mythology, where she highlights the lesser-known women who played pivotal roles. With eight bestselling novels, including Karna's Wife (2013), Sita's Sister (2014), Menaka's Choice (2015), Lanka's Princess (2016), The Fisher Queen's Dynasty (2017), Ahalya's Awakening (2019), Sarasvati's Gift (2021), and her latest Tara's Truce, Kavita has been at the forefront of bringing feminism to Indian mythology.In this episode, she dives deep into the story of Urmila and Lakshman, where Urmila, unlike Sita, didn't have the choice to accompany her husband to Vanvas. Kavita elaborates on Karna, the unsung hero of the Mahabharata, through the eyes of his wife Uruvi, a courageous Kshatriya princess who falls in love with Karna and dares to choose him over Arjun. Uruvi's journey to reconcile with the social implications of her marriage and gaining acceptance within Karna's family is a gripping tale of love and intelligence.The conversation also covers the Apsaras' art of seduction and how Satyavati wielded more political power than Draupadi. Kavita shares her motivation behind writing these stories, her fascination with characters from the epics who are often overlooked, and how she uses fiction to bring their narratives to life.Tune in to this insightful episode and discover Kavita Kané's inspiration and process behind her groundbreaking work!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
