E73. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 3 Verses 1–5 'Yoga of Action' | Gautamji

from Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta for Everyday Living

In this opening session of Chapter 3, Karma Yoga – the Yoga of Action, Gautamji introduces the Gita’s most practical teaching — how to act in the world with the right motive and clarity of purpose. He explains Arjuna’s confusion between knowledge and action, the importance of intention behind every deed, and how selfless work purifies the mind. Drawing from vivid examples, Gautamji shows that renouncing action is not spirituality — acting rightly is. True growth lies not in escape, but in transforming everyday work into worship.More about the podcast: The Bhagavad Gita is a spiritual and philosophical masterpiece that contains the universal wisdom of life applicable to all human beings.
