Ome, Vasudeva, Sutam, Devam, Kamsha-channuram,

Devaki, Paramanandandam, Krishna, Vande Jagad Gurum.

So Janth keep admitting people who are still coming in.

We are studying the third chapter of the Bhagavad Gita and in

that Sri Krishna was telling us that that all of us have a

Prakriti and we act according to Prakriti.

What is Prakriti?

Literally the word means nature.

So we all have a nature.

Now let me introduce two terms here which are very important for our understanding at this point.

Swarupa and suabhava.

Swarupa means our real nature or our essence, which is the Atman.

We are Satjidhanan, existence, consciousness, bliss.

We are Brahman.

That's our real nature and that's what we do not know at this point, but we are trying to realize.

That's the whole point of spirituality, to realize what we truly are.

That is called suerupa, our real self, let's say.

Our real nature, real self.

The other word is,

Swabhavha.

Swabhava.

Swabhava is, again, nature.
