We live in a world that rewards thinking. Analyze it. Study it. Master it. Control it.

So naturally, many of us assume we can understand God the same way — by thinking harder.

But the Bhagavad-gita tells us something radically different.

In Chapter 10, verse 11, Krishna explains that the Supreme Truth cannot be grasped through speculation alone. No amount of intellectual effort can capture the infinite. Instead, He reveals Himself — out of special mercy — to the heart that turns toward Him in devotion.

This episode explores:

• Why speculation alone will never be enough

If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to figure everything out spiritually — this conversation might bring relief.

Because maybe the point isn’t to think your way to God.

In Bhagavad Gita 10.10, Krishna makes a powerful promise:

“To those who are constantly devoted to serving Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.”

So often we think spiritual growth means mastering philosophy, eliminating doubt, or becoming “advanced.” But this verse turns that idea upside down. Krishna isn’t asking for brilliance — He’s asking for sincerity.

In this episode, we explore what it really means that Krishna gives “divine intelligence” from within the heart. We talk about:

Why love comes before understanding

Why willpower alone isn’t enough

How to change your spiritual “default setting”

What prayer actually does (and why it always works)

How yesterday’s pains can become tomorrow’s gains

And how bhakti harmonizes the head and the heart

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not progressing fast enough…

This verse is deeply reassuring.

You don’t have to figure it all out.

✨ Welcome to Gita in Action.

We spend so much of our lives chasing happiness — planning for it, chasing it, squeezing it out of moments. But what if happiness was never meant to be chased? In this class on Bhagavad Gita 10.9, we explore what happens when Krishna becomes our inner home. Instead of living for fleeting bursts of pleasure — the “lamentation sandwich” of hankering, brief enjoyment, and regret — the Gita invites us to live each moment for Krishna. When love becomes the focus instead of self-centered enjoyment, something surprising happens: happiness follows naturally. We talk about: *What it means for Krishna to be your “home base” *Why pleasure fades but purpose fulfills *The paradox of happiness as a byproduct *The power of devotee association *Seeing the inspired side in others *Keeping the main thing the main thing When we stop chasing happiness and start loving well, joy becomes steady, meaningful, and ever-fresh.

What actually changes when we stop seeing God as an abstract idea and begin trusting Him as the source of everything?

In this class, we explore a subtle but life-changing shift described in Bhagavad Gita Chapter 10: the movement from understanding Krishna intellectually to feeling genuinely cared for by Him. When that understanding becomes real, devotion stops feeling forced. Trust grows naturally. And life begins to feel guided rather than random.

This talk reflects on how recognizing Krishna as the source of all qualities, experiences, and outcomes invites a deeper sense of shelter—where fear softens, clarity grows, and devotion becomes a natural response to being cared for.

So much of what we chase in life is driven by the hope that this version of the dream will finally satisfy us — a better outcome, a better role, a better feeling, a better situation. And yet, even when those dreams come true, the sense of fulfillment often fades.

In this episode, we explore a central insight of the Bhagavad Gita: that material life, no matter how refined or successful, is still a kind of dream — temporary, unstable, and unable to fully satisfy the soul. The solution Krishna offers isn’t to perfect the dream, but to wake up from it.

We talk about desire, attachment, and the emotional highs and lows that come from seeking happiness in temporary things, and how true steadiness comes from redirecting our desire toward the eternal. This is a conversation about purification, not suppression — about finding real shelter, real peace, and a deeper sense of meaning by knowing Krishna and our relationship with Him.

If you’ve ever felt caught on the emotional rollercoaster of life, this episode invites you to step off — not by escaping the world, but by seeing it clearly.

Why does Krishna spend so much time describing His greatness in the Gita?

In this class, we explore how understanding Krishna’s opulence doesn’t create distance, but actually deepens intimacy. When love is rooted in relationship, knowing how great someone truly is doesn’t make the connection colder—it makes it more meaningful. Just as awe can enrich human relationships, awe for Krishna enhances devotion rather than replacing it.

Drawing from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 10 and the bhakti tradition, this talk looks at the balance between sweetness and supremacy, intimacy and reverence, and why Krishna reveals Himself not through speculation, but through mercy. A grounded, relatable exploration of how devotion grows when knowledge leads naturally to love.

Chapter 9 of the Bhagavad Gita is often called The Most Confidential Knowledge — not because it’s complicated, but because it’s deeply personal. In this episode, we walk through the heart of Chapter 9, verse by verse, to understand who Krishna really is and what He’s inviting us into. This chapter reveals a God who isn’t distant or abstract, but personal, lovable, and eager for relationship — a God who carries what we lack, preserves what we have, and never gives up on those who turn toward Him. We explore why devotion isn’t about perfection, how bhakti purifies the mind rather than the soul, and why no one is ever too broken, unqualified, or impure to begin. This is a conversation about mercy, relationship, and coming home — not through fear or obligation, but through love. If you’ve ever wondered what the Gita is really pointing toward, this chapter is the answer.

What does Krishna actually ask of us in devotion?

In this class on Bhagavad Gita 9.34, we explore the difference between devotion and emotion, and why love for God is proven not by how inspired we feel, but by how consistently we show up. Drawing parallels with human relationships, this talk unpacks bhakti as a living, reciprocal relationship—one that deepens through service, commitment, and sincerity, even in dry or difficult phases.

A grounded, relatable look at what it really means when Krishna says: “Fix your mind on Me.”

The Bhagavad Gita doesn’t promise a problem-free life — it offers something deeper: purpose.

In this episode, we explore what Krishna means when He describes this world as temporary and filled with difficulty, and why that truth isn’t meant to make us numb, pessimistic, or detached from others’ pain. Instead, it invites us to live with steadiness, compassion, and meaning even when the world feels heavy.

We reflect on real-world suffering, how to stay spiritually grounded without bypassing grief, and how bhakti-yoga becomes a medicine that helps us remain internally peaceful while still showing up responsibly in the world.

This conversation is for anyone trying to live spiritually in the middle of real life — not escaping the world, but learning how to move through it with purpose.

Bhagavad-gītā 9.32 is often quoted as one of the most uncomfortable verses in the Gita — especially when it comes to women and spiritual qualification. So what is Krishna really saying here?

In this episode of Gita in Action, we slow down and look at the verse in its full cultural, philosophical, and devotional context. We explore how karma and jñāna paths functioned in ancient society, how social systems like varṇa were meant to describe qualities rather than worth, and why bhakti radically transcends all external qualifications.

This conversation isn’t about dismissing discomfort or defending tradition at all costs. It’s about understanding the heart of the Gita: a spiritual path that is accessible to everyone, regardless of birth, gender, education, or social position — a path where sincerity of heart is the only qualification.

If you’ve ever struggled with verses like this, felt unsure how to reconcile faith with inclusivity, or wondered whether bhakti truly welcomes everyone, this episode is an invitation to look again — with clarity, compassion, and depth.
