104: Bhagavad Gita (part 1)

For October, we are reading chapters 2, 3, and 6 of the Bhagavad Gita, and watching some videos.

Our recommended translation is by Eknath Easwaran, and it is widely available.

The chapters are:

Chapter 2 - The Yoga of Knowledge

This chapter teaches us how to find a deep sense of stability amid life's natural transitions by reminding us that our true, inner self remains untouched by age or physical change.

Chapter 3 - The Yoga of Action

It shows us how to stay actively engaged with our families and communities out of pure love, guiding us to do our duty while beautifully letting go of stress and expectations.

Chapter 6 - The Yoga of Meditation

This chapter provides gentle, practical guidance on how to quiet the mind, step away from daily worries, and protect our inner peace like a steady candle flame in a windless room.

Please also watch at least the first video of a series by from Swami Sarvapriyananda, from the Vedanta Society of New York:
