There is reason why you need an Indian to explain Indian philosophy, to explain sanatan way of existence westerners are learning but we live these ideas so we can explain better.
I thought the same , well he's good but not perfect
Sorry, the Yoga poses ( asanas ) , were not invented 150 years ago. Patanjali sootra is 2000+ years old and those asanas existed then
Thanks for your comment Virus! Exactly which asanas were discussed in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras? As far as we can tell, the answer is 0.
@@RealTalkPhilosophy lol, this is what happens when westerners with half baked knowledge talk about sanatan dharma.. ever heard about ashtangik yoga( eight limbs of yoga) with asanas as one of leg??
Do some elementary reading of-
Bhasya ( also written by patanjali)
Hatha yoga, matsyendra
Vimanarcanakalpa
Nath sampradaya and yoga asanas
Hatha Yoga Pradipika
Gheranda Samhita etc. to name a few sources..
@@RealTalkPhilosophy The Patanjali yoga sutras do not mention a single asana by name but, they are specified by there characteristics.
Patanjali Yoga Sutra is definitely at least 1500 - 1800 year old text, secondly the term Yoga has many meanings like Addition or Art, with God or Merging the self with Universal Soul In Gita it is Taught in That manner, please add Some Indian Sanatana Dharma Expert if You want interpretate texts correctly
@@vikrampatil239 be happy.he is talking abt sanathana dharma.even hindus in india are more ignorant thn this man.he has good intentions anyway
Man you got it horribly wrong. The stanza is as follows - "You have the right/privilege only for performing actions and not for the results of the actions. The results should not be the motivation for your actions, and you should also not be attached to inaction".
This is not the same as not thinking about the outcome! It just means that the fruits of the actions are not in our control and hence attachment to the fruits are ill advised.
This single verse of the Gita will take you years to fully grasp and comprehend because it goes deeper and deeper as you gain experience in life.
That bearded gentleman and the lady were right to point out that it is not possible to not think of the outcome. You have to think of the outcome, but you should not be attached to it.
Absolutely, gita says not to think of the outcome has its not in your hands, as that's acts act's on gods will, as long as you have the right intentions it's will be fine.
Well explained sir.
If you think of the outcome of the work, you will be under its cramping influence with the result the work will be ill performed. That is why Krishna advised Arjuna to work unattached
If one keeps thinking too much about the outcome, they may not be focusing as much on the action at hand. That’s why Arjuna was being told, yoga karmasu kousalam and outcome will be good as well without paying too much attention to it.
they are asking the same question Arjuna asked.....focusing on the outcome (Fruit)
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT BEING A HINDU?
By Francois Gautier

7) You want to start your journey by reading Bhagvad Gita - Sure !
8) You want to start your journey by reading Upanishads - Go ahead.
9) You want to start your journey by reading Purana - Be my guest.
10) You just don't like reading Puranas or other books. No problem my dear. Go by Bhakti tradition . ( bhakti- devotion)
11) You don't like idea of Bhakti ! No problem. Do your Karma. Be a karmayogi.
12) You want to enjoy life. Very good. No problem at all. This is Charvaka Philosophy.
13) You want to abstain from all the enjoyment of life & find God - jai ho ! Be a Sadhu, an ascetic !
14) You don't like the concept of God. You believe in Nature only - Welcome. (Trees are our friends and Prakriti or nature is worthy of worship).

16) You want a Guru. Go ahead. Receive gyaan.
17) You don't want a Guru.. Help yourself ! Meditate, Study !
18) You believe in Female energy ! Shakti is worshipped.
19) You believe that every human being is equal. Yeah! You're awesome, come on let's celebrate Hinduism!
"Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (the world is a family)
20) You don't have time to celebrate the festival.
Don't worry. One more festival is coming! There are multiple festivals every single day of the year.
21) You are a working person. Don't have time for religion. Its okay. You will still be a Hindu.
22) You like to go to temples. Devotion is loved.
23) You don't like to go to temples - no problem. You are still a Hindu!
24) You know that Hinduism ☺ is a way of life, with considerable freedom.
25) You believe that everything has God in it. So you worship your mother, father, guru, tree, River, Prani-matra, Earth, Universe!
26) And If you don't believe that everything has GOD in it - No problems. Respect your viewpoint.
27) "Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu " (May you all live happily)
You represent this! You're free to choose, my dear Hindu!
This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!!
There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell -" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"- Let the knowledge come to us from every direction "
25:00 it is not about not looking at the outcome, but to be disattached from the outcome . It is talking about stable mind , in success and in failure. Be in the present and do what you have to do at that moment.
The question about not thinking of outcome..I think it means being in present and devoting to the process rather than keeping your mind occupied with outcome. Like in a UFC match, if u keep thinking abt winning and how it wld feel, you would never be focussed in the fight, the present. You will certainly lose.
Simple terms - look for divinity in everything. See everything as part of you. You are part of the whole.
Your actions, when you see everything with divinity will always be the best you can.
By detaching yourself from results, you will focus on actions with divinity and hence find eternal peace.
Hare Krishna Prabhu ji 🙏🙏
Bhagavad Gita is well presented by this person, with no distortions. I don't know the name of this lecturer. He has read very well
My friend, good effort, however, you have got more things superficially than in its real sense. Suggest you to get a better translated version of the book, coz the slides you shown were not so accurate or conveying the real meaning so to say.. 😊 .. secondly I thought you were not well prepared for this session and more depended on the textbook definitions
HARE KRISHNA 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕉🕉🕉🕉🕉💓💓💓💓💓
PLEASE MAKE IT CONTINUES WITHOUT SKIPPING ANY CHAPTER. THIS WILL HELP THE WHOLE YOUTIBE AUDIENCE ACROSS THE WORLD
NARUTO : If people have not understood this concept of detachment from outcome and pursue the action. I have an interesting example but you should have watched or read Naruto (Anime) ;).
Uchiha Itachi is an interesting character who kills his mother,father, uncles and the entire clan. Why? Uchiha clan was conspiring an uprising against the establishment and Itachi was part of special forces of the country (village). He was tasked with the job to stop it as he was an insider. He could have sided with his clan but chose to follow his Dharma of warrior to protect the country and saw the only way/option was to kill all of them. He didn't hesitate, thought did cry when he killed them asking for forgiveness but chose to follow the path he has chosen. He was not attached to the outcome and did his karma (action).
KaliYuga : People listening Bhagwat Geeta while sipping Alcohol.
😁😁🤣
Guna means a characteristic every characteristic needs a definition and every definition needs to segregate and alienate to become unique to be defined. nirguna means perfection collision of definitions baffling oneself to be able to segregate a single character. If you physics major Krishna is more like quantum fields.
Hare Krishna.
Good attempt by this young teacher
For the most ignorants any drop of wisdom is treasure or l would say a starting point in his/her exploration. Let others explore the larger truth from this point onwards. We need to thank the presenter to atleast introduce the concept to the larger world. The presenter needs to leave a disclaimer that he is has confined knowledge but everyone needs to go in shelter of a guru to progress their journey into spiritualism and also admit that interpretation to complex subjects can go incorrect. The presenter should humbly accept the comments and instead ask his guru to clarify or provide link to the source. The people who comment should first thank him for the cause and later politely correct him. All said.. I deeply respect the efforts 🙏
A Little Back Story:
So There was a kingdom named Hastinapur,Had Two Brothers Older Pandu,Younger Dhritrashtra who was blind,Pandu had 5 son and Dhritrashtra had 100,they were called Pandavas and Kauravas.
The Pandu being older had right to throne,but died when his children were very young, so Dhritrashtra was made King until the Oldest son of Pandu Yudhisthir came of age.So Years went by,Pandavas and Kauravas took education, being of warrior clan were taught warfare,etc.
But upcoming Pandavas Inheritance to throne made them bitter,they tried to kill pandavas many times,but failed.
After some years Yudhisthir was named Inhernt prince,but discontentment took over Kauravas. Oldest and wicked of kauravas was Duryodhan.
After some time pandavas agreed to half kingdom and built there own kingdom named Indraprast,mass immigration took place from hastinapur to Indraprast.
Duryodhan again been unhappy and Angry due to some incident at Coronation of Yudhisthir at Indraprast, Plotted evil Plan against Pandavas,He Invited Yudhisthir to play Vhyuv(A Game similar to Ludo involves Gambling), He Magically spelled the dice of the game to his will.He set the rules to never abandon the game till the end.
Yudhisthir Being an embodiment of Dharma and Thruthfullness agreed to his rules.
With the dices dancing to duryodhans will,Yudhisthir started losing,he lost all their wealth, Kingdom,then he gambeld his brothers,and their wife.
Pandavas lost everything and became slave to Duryodhan,he insulted them and tried to undress their wife Draupadi in front of everyone present in the council.Krishna saved her by his magic.
Pandavas were ordered 14 years of exile in forest.
They vowed revenge for this massive trick played against them.
After fourteen years Pandavas returned,they started collecting armies for the great war, Pandvas couldn't get lot of kings from other clans on their side,but they had enough for war.
Finally they went to krishna,He belonged to Yadav Clan,who had biggest,most fierced army.
On behalf of Pandavas,Arjuna was sent and On behalf of Kauravas,Duryodhan.
Krishna had power of god,and hismost powerful,Sudarshan Chakra,he could have ended war within seconds if he had fought from any one side.
But he was related to both side,He offered Unarmed Himself for one side and All his
army for anathor.
Arjuna Chose Unarmed Krishna and Duryodhan Chose his army.
So Began the war,Kauravas Outnumbered Pandavas,with personnel and number of warriors.
Kauravas had The most powerful,Undefeated Bhishma, The teacher of both kauravas and Pandavas Dronacharya,who had extensive knowledge of wars, weapons and had remained undefeatable.The 100 Kauravas,
The Mighty karna,One of the greatest warrior and sixth and oldest brother of pandavas who no one was aware of at the time of war.
On the other side 5 gallant Pandavas who could have deafeated entire earth alone.
So at the time the battle was about to begin,he saw,Bhishma,who took care care of them, when their father died,his teacher Dronacharya,who taught him war,his friends,his cousins, nephews and many relatives.
He was reluctant to fight.He said to Krishna,who was unarmed throughout the war,and decided to be his chariotter,that if He were the given the kingdom of all three worlds,he still wouldn't kill his own kind.
He was struck with dillema and moral confusion.
Then Krishna guides him to his divine duty,his dharma.
He conviced arjuna that for the dharma to prevail,for the peace to return on earth,this Destruction is necessary.
So Arjuna Fought fiercly,Pandavas defeated unkillable Bhishma, Undefeatable Dronacharya and Karna,with the help of Krishna,
and Killed 100 Kauravas.
Krishna said-
Whenever there will be rise in adharma(Sin, Unrighteousness), I will return and take a living form on earth and reinstate dharma.
His tenth and final Kalaki Avatar is awaited.
Dhritarashtra is older (& blind- the reason why he couldn't ascend the throne, fearing he might be ridiculed & disrespected)
Pandu is younger (ascended the throne as he was the next & only potential heir to the Kuru (कुरू) dynasty.
After Pandu's death, Dhritarashtra was appointed as the 'interim king' until it's time for the next successor.
Years later, this became the premise of conflicts as to who should be the next king- the eldest son of Pandu (Yudhishthir) or the eldest son of Dhritarashtra (Duryodhan).
Amazing workshop
Definitely people not understand ...gita is very detailed book ...only a hindu can teach u better..who knows meaning of every line in gita...i can answers all the quetion people asked..i read geeta ...this is song of god ..definetly foreigners dont understand easily ....they r like arjuna ...who needs teacher like krisna ...then they find nothing wrong in geeta ...its the way of life ..
If you are a doctor your action is to give your patient treatment best of your knowledge. If you have a doubt if your treatment can cure or not you wouldn't be able to perform as a good doctor. What ever we do we should put 100% irrespective of the outcome. You can't predict out come and if you are concerned with outcome you may be frustrated if the outcome is different. That may cause you loose your confidence in your action.
Hare Krishna ❤️✨
What krishna suggest is do not worry about the outcome. Just do your duty. You can think about the outcome but the outcome cannot be like you expected. For example , you studied very good for exams but still you failed. After this you will feel bad because you expected the outcome. So he suggest do not worry about outcome.
I think no one is understanding in the audience
it's a hard subject so yeah
He is doing very bad job at explaining.
He totally skipped explaining Dharma and Karma without understanding those 2 whole context is lost.
@@nityanandsaswade5003 yeah.....the explanation could be much better as sanathana Dharma is difficult topic to understand
Outcome : “Sarvam Krishnarpanam” (you followed your dharma now leave the outcome to infinite or Krishna.)Good outcome or bad take it. If you keep thinking about outcome you will always feels you will always be over satisfied or under satisfied which hindrances your future karma(work) so take the outcome saying I did my job now the outcome is left to Krishna/Brahman/Ultimate reality. While doing your dharma don’t be selfish, don’t be greedy,don’t be jealous, don’t be angry, don’t be very proud, don’t be lazy.
That senior man with blue shirt said great
Okay enough. To save your valuable time and efforts, here is the short summary of Bhagawad Gita;
In this scripture, Lord Krishna advises Arjun that his sole purpose (that is to punish the wrongdoers) is his dharma(duty) and that the rest is illusion. Here Lord Krishna refers Arjuna's relationship to his cousins as illusion. And that the dharma must be performed in dedication of Krishna(The Supreme Lord/Almighty God). And one can only fulfill his dharma through karma(action). Good karma will reap good consequences and the bad karma will only lead to bad consequences.
P.S. There are so many enlightening teachings in Bhagawad Gita that it is not possible to elaborate all at once. But these are the primary teachings of Lord Krishna. A guiding beacon to so many!
I think if one focusses on karma yoga as if all parts of life was yoga while being as sincere as possible ,in manifesting it even if the battle in ones mind is ugly . While going consciously forward towards ones goal without worrying about the outcome , one will notice with experience that the outcome is what is meant to be , and one will learn to apreciate what the outcome truely means for you . The outcome is always the fruit of your karma and sincerity. Ones has to cultivate wisdom to apreciate the divine wisdom and the outcome of what one thinks is a satisfactory outcome of ones journey in the karma. Being sincerely honest and consciously manifesting ones karma is fundamental .
Outcomes are not in your control but Your actions are.
That's why Krishna only want's you to trust the process.
To property understand ' Bhagavad Geeta' you need to first read Vedanta (specially Advaita Vedanta) so that you know the all the levels of consciousness and how you experience those levels in you life.
Lets say you want to make a $1 million. Rather than focusing on that outcome if you focus on your work (action) and attempt to do it better whatever it may be, you will hit your goals eventually without fret.
Well explained.
the sound volume is very low
just a suggestion that valuable knowledge or sacred teachings should be shared selectively, with those who are receptive and willing to receive it. It emphasises the need for discernment in determining who is ready and capable of understanding and appreciating the knowledge being shared. seems like some of the audience are not here to learn but to pass their own opinion.
The audio quality is pretty bad. Can you fix it?
People of Abrahamic Religions will never agree as they have been taught to hate,even new born are considered as sinners! Only fre thinking people may try to understand if not keep questioning till you are satisfied!
Nicely explained. Use term demigods for dieties is good. God is only 1
Bhagwat Geeta is 5,000+ years old
13:22 also it teaches we shouldn't get attached to anything
If your actions results into something better for other people then that is right decision whether or not it is morally correct.
Like killing a terrorist who is about to blow up entire craft is morally wrong because you are just killing a person doesn't matter who he is but by killing him you can save 200 people. So although this action seem morally wrong and heinous but is actually the correct path to follow.
If someone is attempting suicide, it's morally wrong to interfere in someone else business but by stopping them you are taking right action.
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भुर्मा ते संगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि
It means just do your work, don't worry about the result...
Regarding to the you as an individual have the right to action but no right to the fruit (consequences) of the action. (Also please check UniRider's comment because he explained it well)
I'll try to give you my perspective on it, although I know that people enter competitions with the desire of winning, else it's pointless. But it's an analogy. When you are practicing a sport, many of us are longing for the first price 🥇. When we become first we become really happy. When we become second 🥈 we feel sad. When we become last we feel miserable. Why? Because we had developed desires for the fruits of our hours of practice.
Now what Krishna explains here is that if you practice with the mindset: Im going to train to the best of my possibilities. I'll 100% commit myself to the practice, without taking shortcuts or cheat. But I don't create any, but honestly any, expectations in the tournament. Then you will be unaffected by the outcome. Whether you become first second or last, it won't affect you. But then the question you will ask yourself is, did I give it my all? Did I put in every drop of blood, sweat in it? Then if you answer is yes, you are okay with it. What else can you do. When one person attains that mindset in all aspects of their life (without losing motivation or interest obviously) those people are freed from temporary joy and suffering. They are like steady flames of a candles 🕯️, unaffected by the waving wind.
U R wrong in declaring that yoga practices are of recent origin. Bhakti marg is one of the paths, u choose your path according to your own inclinations.
Yoga postures are visible even on Mohenjo daro/ Harappa tablets and seals, a few thousand years old! It is believed that Shiva the Adi Yogi provided the Yoga and Patanjali just codified and manuscript it! Yoga was developed before scripts and language ever existed!
Wow... Thanks for knowledge.....
Bro are you out of your mind?! He has subverted the entire teaching into some mumbo jumbo nonsense! It is a new age conventgiri bro! What is wrong with these Indian people who are begging for approval from whites!? This angers me!
@@sumukhhegde7161; good old slavish attitude and pride that a white man is accepting Geeta. Satyemeva Jayete.
*Fruits of action are good or bad. Krishna don't say to stay away from them krishna only said to not get attached to it because its not real until it bears, Enjoy the action and fruits will be sweeter than that. but If u r doing action just for sake of fruit then fruits will be bitter and real examples are most of billionaires in the world including politicians and businessmen who worked hell out for success and now are depressed and crushed under their own success.*
well said 23:00
Is he truly teaching or trying to mis lead those persons?
Here the outcome is not the most important things but the process. Like different problem has different solutions or outcome. Vagabat Gita does not impose a single outcome to u. It tells the teaching and if anyone understand the teachings? They can apply this teachings to achieve different outcome or solutions.
Once u become singular with krishna, when ur everything is krishna u r bound to choose the right decision or follow the dharma. And if not that means u r not yet there.
So the outcome could be different and Krishna did not impose any outcome instead he discussed the teaching or process to be followed to achieve enlightenment.
Indians commenting on foreigners talking about bhagawat geeta..like it is their own..let's not point errors to the words that are being said here..nobody is perfect..let's just listen n digest..right wrong...what's accurate and what's not..why so much concerned over other's works
This part needs improvement. Its confusing and misses the main points.
It is not fruit .it is actually result
I love your enthusiasm but there is really a lot of philosophy that is not in its totality a deep and clear explanation need to be brought up along with the context of it.. Like you forgot to mention why is he fighting his family and why krishna care about a family drama. Why he chose arjuna and his reasons to be part of mahabharata.. What was his dharma here. Krishna always wanted to prevent this war but went on with total annihilation of all immoral people and for that many good people sacrificed themselves too but he explains that path of righteousness is always tough and those who choose to sacrifice themselves for greater good has already reached the highest level of consciousness. If something gets distorted then one has to devote the precious time of his life to fix it but if the problem is far more complex then one even has to devote his life to solve it, just like in the mahabharata where for a better society krishna had to annihilate all evil men even if good people has to sacrifice themselves.. The Lord says that sometimes we get into illusions maya material aspect of life so deep that there is no hope for person to retum to the path of righteousness and at that time the best thing one can do for such person is to set him free from this maya, so when he then return he will be at a proper place where he can learn and start his spiritual journey again.. But he only intervene when lack of dharma becomes a social issue..
"Nishkaama karma" can be easily misunderstood. Be careful
Brahman is superposition of all thing exist or that doesn't exist, both complete and incomplete, both reality and non reality.
that lektor he's killing humans time
You have no understanding of Bhagavat Gita and might have read it once and tried to explain it to others.Also you avoided the vital points and answer to questions.This guy just avoided their questions and gave a bad reputation for Bhagavad Gita
There's one thing you missed out - Mahabharata was not a war or a murder for the sake of it, it was a fight for justice for the Pandavas after all peace talks failed. You didn't mention that even once. Instead you were asking questions is killing wrong? When you say, stop asking what is the outcome of the murder without any context or back story, it will sound weird to people who are listening to it for the first time. Also, you have tried to explain these things in as good a way as possible but these things are not easy even for us Indians. It takes a lot of learning from wise teachers to be able to be understand this spiritually let alone explain it.
Man you got it all wrong. This is why Gits should be learnt through a Guru or some one should read the Book by themselves first.
Patanjali's yoga sutras more than 2000 years old.
We(Everyone has right only to act but we are not entitled for the fruits of the action because that fruits of the actions depends on own past actions and Grace )
At 7:40 : his understanding is not correct. What lord krushna said is you should not focus on result you should focus on process how can you do your current work 100% if you do that you will get what you deserve.
To me this was confusing talk sowing doubts. Don’t blame the idea, blame the conveying.
Instead of speaking about Meditation and Yoga come to India and visit Himalaya caves and see in your own eyes how yogis are doing Meditation naked at -40 degree centigrade.
Please visit videos in youtube "yogis doing Meditation at Himalaya"

Ya.. The translation is so deflected from actual meaning of verses..
Teacher has to present better , Gita in a pleasing way .
In the first part of the series, it was very nicely suggested to look at the moon; not at the finger.. 🙏🙂
You mean, in a boring didactic way?!
I think you yourself are unclear. I am sorry but you dismally failed to explain any of these concepts.
You yourself require much more 'adhyayan' or study of it before you can really explain to anyone else.
you are good but brother you should also learn about Yog.
there are multiple type of YOG. and each and everytype of yog is ancient. not 150 years old.
Swami Patanjali is the Master of yog who invented modern yog.
bad audio quality
do you think a criminal doesn't know the outcome? Yes! he knows, more than you,, but he still does it. Ya'll know that alcohol & beer too, is bad for health, yet y'all having it,, you know what can be the outcome, yet y'all doing it. That's why rather than thinking about the outcome, you need to become a more sensible person, breaking a law doesn't mean you're a sensible person, What is common sense? if you hit a wall with your head, you'll get heart, do you think before doing that? it's common sense,, Can you slap your parents? It's common sense. Forget about the outcome, you won't even think of it,, If you're conscious enough, your body, mind, and heart won't let you do any wrong thing on its own,,.. This is why rather than investing in thinking over the outcome and then deciding what is right and wrong, Invest your time in developing consciousness,,
Why do people think it is right to subvert other people's teaching?! It is so adharmic! They are destroying bhagawadgita by misleading people like this! What mumbo jumbo nonsense!
Krishna only started teaching Bhagavadgeeta when Arjuna has become the seeker. I would assume audience should be ready for it
This guy is Drunk or what?
Come on man.
Teach them Piller's of Hinduism unless you are confusing them more and more.
Before introducing them to the message of Lord Krishna please explained them about Dharma and Karma it is really important.
This is completely misleading in many parts
So many loop hols ... You don't know anything.... Learn from iskcon... Than it is better..
Let's be compassionate, they do not come from same culture or societal thought structure that us ordinary Indians have imbibed through our lifetimes.
He explained very well.
Brother replace dharma with duty and you will get it right without confusion... you are unable to explain because you are not able to explain them what is dharma... And dharma is more like duty...
Most of the people are lying drunk.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Actually he doesnt explains sone parts clearly, so its obviously confuse people. Only a real hindu who reads gita can explain them clearly...
My man… English is so shallow, it’s simply doesn’t do justice in translation… it’s not literal meaning.. the translation should make one seek rather it gives answer 🤦🏽 It’s literally impossible to understand the sense in bhahavageeta, without understanding Mahabharata story in its completeness.
Many of your points were not correct (or too much complex to understand). You should had someone hindu to help you. Ex: Brahman is simply "the Universe". According to Hindu Religion the universe is the god. That creates, manages and finally destroys everything. Time to time when there is injustice and people need someone to guide them to the right path, universe will take birth to guide the world. That is concept of "Avtar". Ex: Krishna. Showing you the right path is god's job. But it your own duty to choose the right path. Your choices determines your future.
Alcohol and Gita don’t go together.
Your interpretation of not focussing on the fruit/results of the action is completely wrong. Krishna never says follow your heart. This heart versus the mind dichotomy is a Western problem. What Krishna say is to that Arjuna should follow his Dharma and not on the results of his actions. In this case, Arjuna should fight injustice -- regardless of who committed the injustice (in this case his cousins and uncles and friends). The true message is that Arjuna should fight for Dharma (in this case Justice). That's the message.
You seem to be converting this to some lame idea like "follow your heart" and abandon your rational mind. Krishna never advocated abandoning ones rational mind.
Your previous videos had many factual errors -- perhaps forgivable but this interpretation is a gross distortion of Gita's message. Stop this nonsense.
Half backed knowledge.
I wish he would stop using the word 'murder', the word and point here is killing. On the battle field there wasn't going to be any murder there was going to be a lot of killing. Killing is a byproduct of battle but not always the final result as many will give up and put their arms down. Murder is always the final product of intent, which will stem from negative energy (hate, anger, envy, greed etc), killing an opponent who has been defeated and has given up but still alive.
His interpretation of Dharma is also wrong, to put it simply it is your duty, which changes with time, your position and circumstance, point by example, Arjun is a son, a farther, a husband, a grandson, an uncle, a brother in law, a prince, a student, and a battle harden warrior. In each of these roles his duty changes and as such his Dharma changes. On the battle field he is warrior, this is his primary duty and thus he has to uphold that and stop focusing on the fact that he is related to half the apposing army. As long as he is able to uphold his duty as a warrior on this battle field without worrying about the outcome then he will have done his Dharma (aka Detachment), and yes as apart of this many great warriors will fall but their bodies will perish while doing their Dharma. As part of this battle the Warrior had to obey the rules of the combat too, by breaking these rules you have fallen short of upholding your Dharma. Hence no cheating to win, winning is not Dharma, but giving your 100% to your Dharma is winning.
I can only echo what Krishna below has said you really do need an Indian who understands this philosophy to explain the finer points, as this is misleading the attendants and audience that Lord Krishan gave the green light for murder which he most certainly did not and he most certainly said you will NOT be forgiven for murder.
13.49 His explanation is completely wrong, this is not about the life you were meant to live or following your own set of rules, again it is about duty, it is better that you focus and strive to do your duty better than to be better at somebody elses duty. eg it is better that I strive to be a better farther to my children than to be a better husband to my neighbor's wife (its a crude example I know but its easier to understand).
JSK.
There is one Big mistake in these teachings. It is one-sided 😊. Spiritual development happens in stages. You must acquire certain capabilities and understandings by practice then you move to the next maturity level so on and so forth. If people sit and listen you will bore them to death. 😅
This is bogus! People this is some mumbo jumbo in the name of Bhagavad-Gita! They are misleading you!
Sumukh Hedge; Sumukh bhai, Bhagwat Geeta claimed to be the printed version of Krishna's verbal discourse to Arjun during the Mabharatha is Bogus as it is based on the recollection of Arjun and Krishna long after their death. Who would take words of wisdom from a Makhan Chore who spent much of his life ogling Gopies bathing at the Yamuna ghats and flirting with 1400 Gopies? May be on flirtation and stealing. Satyemeva Jayete.
@@prosantomukerji3931 from the time of the earliest commentaries on Krishna leela, they've been pretty unambiguous that the relationship of Krishna and the gopikas is symbolic of paramatma and jeevatma. Try to find put what they've meant for taking the butter out of the colloid of curds. But then again you can consider some immoral bhogi as the sole repository of how to interpret the scriptures with his new age power dynamics bullshit and take a similar path to early liver failure and life failure.
That aside, don't poke your nose into something you don't care about. You're caught up in some bullshit interpretation of our scriptures and here's a totally different bullshit being woven, so step aside please. Whether it is true or not, there is a certain set of ways our scriptures have been interpreted and it is not loose like you people believe. It is my duty as a Hindu to point that out.
You guys should not explain Gita, you don't have knowledge of it at all. It is not about if murder is right or wrong. It is about establishing Dharma, you're so wrong in EXPLAINATION stop it. All the verses explain by you was so wrong.
