Vande Jagad Gurum

We are studying the second chapter of the Bhagavad Gita.

Sri Krishna's teaching on Gyanayyoga, the nature of the self.

Who am I? What am I actually?

That is now over.

The next great subject, next great theme of the second chapter is

karma yoga. That's going to come later. But in between there is an interlude. So where Sri

Krishna is going to talk some common sense to Arjuna. So that's the part we are at.

The verses are simple.

Meaning is also simple.

Not much philosophy in there,

but we will ignore those verses or dismiss them lightly at our own peril.

Often, probably, to put our life back in shape, this is exactly what we need.

So let's hear what Sri Krishna has to say.

We saw in the last class, the 31st verse,

Svharma, Mappichya, Vikamipidhārya, Dharmiyy, Yudhhhra, Nanyat Shraiyazyaaabhiyata. He says that considering your duty, you should not hesitate to perform this.
