For Seekers by Seekers

Tat Tvam Asi

We discuss this.

We digress on the importance of Guru and surrender to Guru.

Prof VK, (https://www.profvk.com/) who is a former Deputy Director of BITS Pilani speaks to the Gita Satsang, most of who are Bitsians...and several honorary Bitsians, all tied together at the hip in our journey towards Moksha.  Prof VK's talk about Gita, Vishnusahasranama, Immanence concept, Kshetrajna, Askhara, his insights into 'yata deepo' sloka from Gita, and the significance of 'chinmudra'....is truly amazing.  Enjoy this talk

Gita Satsang 02052023 Manisha Panchakam Sloka 2

We discuss Brahman; individual Atman and how the Jiva can realize the Brahman & Atman are the one and same and it is our true identity

The witness in three states of human experience and the witness in all living entities is exactly the same.

Whoever knows the truth that the witness is none other than the Supreme Consciousness, is a wise man - whoever (s)he is - be (s)he a chandala or a learned person....

Is there a difference in people?

Is 'caste' any factor at all to differentiate people?

Or is differentiation possible at all?

Learn from the interaction of Sankaracharya ("learned Brahmana" with a Chandala ("dog-eater") and how the Chandala corners Sankaracharya with his deep questions about Advaita Vedanta.

And, listen to the insights from the Gita group about these two introductory slokas; don't miss the wonderful chanting by Subbu!

Ajay compares Ashtanga Yoga with Ch 6 of Gita and explains his understanding.

In this talk, I present why Sandhyavandanam as a daily practice is an excellent ritual and is in line with the Dhyana as described by Bhagavan in Chapter 6 of Gita.  Drawing on talks by Swami Paramarthananda, Veda Bharathi and Swami Omkarananda as well as my personal practice, I talk about the vision of Sandhyavandana ritual and how it helps to realize our true self.
