The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita is one of India’s most treasured and beloved scriptural texts, and a powerful tool for anyone seeking to explore all aspects of “self” and expand conscious awareness. This work by Paramahansa Yogananda and the Self-Realization Fellowship features Yogananda’s original translations of this very important work, and walks you through a deeper understanding of the symbolism and offers practical exercises for personal spiritual growth.
Key Takeaways:
- An inner battle exists inside each one of us between the love-focused, divinity of the soul and the humanistic, ego-driven qualities of the material human.
- Serve without attachment to outcome. True freedom comes from selfless service.
- Meditation is a science that allows direct communication with the Divine through relaxation, mindfulness, and stillness.
- We should seek emotional balance so that we may be resilient in all circumstances, negative or positive.
- Life is all about harmony between the inner world and the outer world. It is a balance between being active and still, serving and meditating.
“The true basis of religion is not belief, but intuitive experience. Intuition is the soul’s power of knowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one must know God.”
― Paramahansa Yogananda
