    Synopsis In this chapter, Krishna talks about the kshetra (our body) and kshetrajna (us). Our body is our territory. To know oneself is kshetrajna.

    Relevance: Our body and us (souls) are different. The impact of our thinking impacts the body. While we should understand that the body is essential for sheltering the soul, we shouldn’t fall prey to its never-ending desires and temptations. We should take care of our bodies and keep ourselves in good company to learn about the divine force

  • GITA CHAPTER 17: SRADHHATRAYA VIBHAYA YOG

     Synopsis In this chapter, Krishna explains what is faith and its different types: saatvik, rajasik, and tamasik He explains the three types of yagna (offerings), daan (donations), and tap (penance) linked to satvik, rajasik, and tamasik nature of beings. 

    Relevance: The type of faith that you practice depends on what you are and your personality. Depending on your nature (satvik, rajasik or tamasik), you choose the best suitable faith for yourself. It is challenging to understand faith and more difficult is to practice it. Your conditioning and nature define the type of activities that you indulge in throughout your life to bear the fruits accordingly. Attaining a balance of natures should be our ultimate goal. We should avoid extremities of any type of nature
