Inner Significance of Bhagavad Gita

In this Harikatha, Srila Gurudev explains who Krishna is and who can speak the real significance of Bhagavad Gita which is the quintessence of all vedic scriptures. Then he narrates the incidence of an illiterate Brahmin whose mood of recitation of Gita pleases Mahaprabhu during His South India tour. Quoting many verses from Gita, Srila Gurudev then explains the different yoga processes narrated by Sri Krishna to Arjun. He also elaborates on how all the yoga processes ultimately lead to bhakti-yoga which is the secret of all secrets.

How and Why to Relinquish Enjoying Tendency?

Srila Gurudev quoting relevant verses from Srimad Bhagavatam and Srimad Bhagavad Gita and remembering Srila Param Gurudev's advice to an aspirant, instructs us how we can relinquish our material desires and enjoying tendency and become stead-fast in our devotional practices. Srila Gurudeva gives us great hope as he pronounces Sri Krishna's assuring words 'kaunteya pratijānīhi na me bhaktaḥ praṇaśyati'—Oh Son of Kunti, declare it boldly that My devotee will never perish.

We are Not This Body, We are Atmā

As long as consciousness—thinking, feeling and willing—exists in the body, so long one is considered a person. But when that consciousness leaves the body, then that body is not considered to be a person. We are not this body, we are atma, the eternally existing, knowledge and blissful principle.

Param Gurudev’s Encouraging and Assuring Words to Gurudev

There are defects in everyone. Every person has a more or less enjoying tendency. There is nothing to be worried about. Take absolute shelter to Lord Krishna. He is All-powerful, He will remove all weakness from your heart. Do not fear.
