Concluding our Gita Insights series, Anand invites us to recognise our Arjuna nature as we contemplate the phenomenal teachings of Krishna. Our inner longing is for unity, a wholeness that is expressed in the word Yoga. If our intention is to access that state of unity, then it is natural that the approach has to be also unified. For growth to be genuine, there has to be growth in a holistic manner. Then we will come to the state, the practice and the experience of unity, of Yoga. Be a Yogi, Arjuna. Be the one who creates unity. or more deep wisdom from the Gita: Enrol in The Bhaga ..read more

In this episode of the Gita Insights, Anand Ji explores another rich pearl of wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita. We say we only honour worthy inquiry; we should only teach or share insights when asked. In the Gita we have Arjuna declaring to Krishna, “I am your shishya.” A shishya is a student with a very deep inner commitment. This is the highest kind of a student.   All that we value and all that we really seek in life is found at a greater depth of being. In the Gita, this wisdom is shared by Krishna with Arjuna because he is a true shishya. Enliven that shishya nature in yoursel ..read more

In this first episode of the Gita Insights series, Anand reminds us that we are listeners and students of the wisdom that Krishna shares in the Bhagavad Gita. The same wisdom is being offered to those who are listening and yet it has different effects on them, because every listener listens from his or her own consciousness state. Arjuna fully awakens and gets enlivened, while Dhritarashtra is left with deep disillusionment. Within each and every one of us, there is Arjuna, the spiritual warrior, the atman, who is here to discover the shining jewel of truth. Will you align with your own Arjuna ..read more
