Summarized by Anu Bhaskara

We started the class with prayers and mediation...
We recapped the last class.
  • Whole world is like dream. We need to be the witness of the dream.
  • We watched Gurudev’s videos.
  • Those whose thoughts have become Anaya chetaha.
  • When we want to sleep and rest we give up everything for that want of sleep. Practice itanything is achievable.
  • Since we don’t want brahman hence we don’t practice it. Such an individual who is
  • constantly practicing to him krishna says he is easily available for him.
  • When we have anxiety we cannot sleep, we can glide into sleep only when we are not anxious. Don’t be afraid of failure. 
  • Dreamer is the only walker.
  • He only is the true divine. Knowing that he is true divine wakeup and continue playing this game of life.
Video 204:-
Arjuna is an intellectual sceptic. The intellectual attitude of the sceptic will be as below is
what Swamiji explains.
People will say they will give benefit of doubt and say maybe , is it worthwhile,
After realization also we live in this world and we will not go away.
What is perfect bliss and why should we come back after attaining bliss in case we need
to come back and suffer this world.

Summary of the Video 205 :- You will be able to play in this world. Ordered by BMI
Once realized this bliss it can never leave us.
Maamupeta - Having once reached me.
Dukhayala- house of sorrow.
Ashashavata- nothing is permanent.
Papunvanti mahatmana-
Person who has realized this bliss can never slips back to this world of sorrow.
Samsidhi paramamgathaha-
Can never come back to old miserable limited creature life.

Video 206 summary- Heaven and Hell- Verse 16
Abrahmana buvana lokaha- various worlds higher and lower. We think that they are all
places. All the worlds are here.
Like a room of people playing cards or bridge, if a person hasno inclination to it would
not be able to stays there. Same in case of room full of doctors, if an Engineer is in
room of Doctors then he cannot stay there longer.
Two worlds Hell and heaven
Heaven on earth- if your mind is good then we are make heaven.
Hell- when mind is not peaceful it creates hell.
Heaven and hell are not two different places but are two different states of mind.

Video 207 summary- Heaven and Hell- Verse 16 –part 2.
Even the highest heaven – rewards for the good that we have done we will come back
again , imagine today you are rich but you might become poor , today we might be
healthy but tomorrow we might suffer with something . When you have reached krishna
there is no coming back or fall thereafter.
Punarjanmama vidyate is what it speaks about

Video 208 Summary verse 16- Total mind series part 1- who created this world.
Everyone is intelligent enough to ask the question, who created this world? This is by
the loving merciful lord. People came and played about and went away.
We talk to people based on their understanding, in the same way Krishna explains to
arjuna in the way he understands.

Video 209 Summary Verse 16 – Total mind series part 2
When we are happy the world around us are happy. When it rains, how a person does
feels. We interpret the world according to the mood of our mind.

Video 210 Summary Verse 16 – Total mind series part 3
Whenever mind is agitated our mind will be agitated.
We project the world according to our own states. This total mind is the total vasans is
called as Eswara.

The macro cosmic mind – known world of plurality. Power of creation, destruction and
sustenance.

Video 211:- normal people do not understand these three hence godly forms and names
were given and together the three are one brahmana.
In all humans we have these three natures.. we do not systematize these natures.

Video 212:- total mind is the lord. When we slept where did the world go? it went from
manifest to unmanifested vasanas. The world gets wiped out this is what is called as
creation.
Delusion- manifested to unmanifested.

Video 213:- the total mind becomes tired.
Iron age where and how to unhailed the age.
Kaliyuga – getting information of destruction.

Summary of Karma, ViKarma and AKarma

Image
Summarized by Prathima Srinath based on her understanding Karma, Vi-karma and Akarma Verse 17 states - karma, vikarma and akarma are all actions, and that the way of action is mysterious and there is more to understand about them. Below is my interpretation of verse 17 and Verse 18 based on the commentaries, of Swami Chinmayananda, Swami Sarvapriyananda, Sridhar Swami, and Sri Ramanuja Gita Bhasyam. Literally Karma, Vi-Karma and Akarma means: Karma: performing actions as prescribed by Vedic scriptures -Nitya and Naimittika Vi-karma: performing improper action, forbidden action Akarma: inaction, non-performance of action It is important to understand the real nature of action to know what they mean in the spiritual sense. What is the real nature of Action – Karma and Vi-karma? Sense organs, constantly in contact with external stimuli, keep sending impression to mind. The mind gathers new impressions and gets colored by the Vasana hoarded within and are translated into action through our...

Class Summary for Sep 12, 2023 - Chapter-1 Slokas 24 - 31

  Summarized by: Neelima Turga The class started with Opening prayers, followed by pranayam and a short meditation. The approach of the Bhagavad Gita is to first define the problem and then give the solution. The first chapter defines the problem, In the second chapter, Bhagawan gives the solution. The solution is further explained in detail in chapters 3 to 17 and finally chapter 18 is again a summary of all the teachings from the Lord himself. As we continue our journey with the Gita, we will be able to understand and appreciate this better.  We chanted shlokas 24-26 and saw the translation. Sanjaya continues to say that after Arjuna is addressed as Gudakesa, Lord Krishna takes the chariot to the middle of the battleground and places it right in between both the armies. There Arjuna could see all his fathers, grandfathers, uncles, teachers and all other relatives. Here, Arjuna is addressed as Gudakesha, which also means the one who conquered sleep. Sanjaya also talks about A...

Class summary for Oct 14, 2025 - BG Chapter-6, Slokas: 29 - 36

Summarized by: Bala  Dhandapani After pranayama and meditation, recap from October 7th  class was summarized. Hanuman Ji’s relationship with Rama (ie as a Servant, as a friend and Oneself/Same) represent the three types of philosophy, namely Dwaita, Vasista Advaita and Advaita. Dwaita – when one considers different from Bhagawan Vasista Advaita – when one considers as part of the whole Bhagawan Advaita- same as Bhagawan. Eventually with all the three philosophies, self merges and is union with Bhagawan/Brahman.  With Dwaita and Vasista Advaita philosophies, something (a process/transformation) has to happen for the self to become one with the Lord.  In Advaita philosophy there is no process, with unveiling /removing ignorance, the self realizes Brahman.     Class watched the following videos of Gurudev Sloka 29: A person who has realized sees only Brahman and the play.  When the ocean is in motion, a realized person would consider that the waves a...
