Ashtanga Yoga isnât just about physical posturesâitâs a complete spiritual journey. In this episode, we dive deep into Chapter 6 of the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna outlines the true essence of Ashtanga Yogaâthe eightfold path of spiritual practice. Far beyond the mat, this chapter guides us from moral discipline and daily integrity to deep meditation and union with the Divine. Weâll explore how yoga begins with self-discipline (yama and niyama), becomes embodied through asana and breath control (pranayama), and ultimately leads us inward through pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, and samadhi. Whether youâre a spiritual seeker, a yoga practitioner, or someone curious about meditation, this class offers a grounded yet profound look at the inner path of yogaâwhere renunciation meets devotion, and stillness leads to connection with the Supreme.

In this class, we explore one of the most powerful and practical verses in the Bhagavad Gita As It IsâChapter 5, Text 29âwhere Krishna reveals the secret to lasting peace: understanding Him as the ultimate enjoyer, the supreme proprietor, and the dearest well-wisher of all living beings.

Whether you're wrestling with anxiety, seeking meaning, or just trying to navigate life with more grace, this class offers both spiritual insight and practical tools grounded in bhakti-yoga.

In this episode of The Gita in Action, we explore Bhagavad Gita 5.26 and look at why willpower alone isnât enough to overcome the forces of desire and anger.

In this episode, we explore what it means to reclaim the inner flameâthe steady, joyful presence within that doesnât depend on anything outside of us. Drawing from Bhagavad Gita 5.24â25, we talk about how real happiness arises not from chasing temporary highs, but from turning inward, seeing through lifeâs dualities, and connecting with the deeper purpose behind it all.
We reflect on how the Gita describes the liberated soulânot as someone disconnected from the world, but as someone who acts with clarity, compassion, and inner freedom. And we ask: What if spiritual life isnât about escaping lifeâs messiness, but seeing it all in light of the bigger picture?
Whether youâre feeling scattered, burned out, or just yearning for something real, this conversation is a call to come home to yourselfâand to the source of joy that never dims.

In this episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5, Verse 22, where Krishna shares a profound truth: material pleasures, though enticing, are ultimately sources of suffering. Why? Because they have a beginning and an endâand whatever is temporary can never satisfy the soulâs deep longing for lasting happiness.
We dive into how fleeting pleasures trap us in cycles of craving and disappointment, and how wisdom means not rejecting pleasure, but seeing its limits clearly. Through relatable examples, insights from Srila Prabhupadaâs purport, and practical tools like the "FIT" method (Futility, Insubstantiality, Temporality), this class helps us understand how to rise above the illusions of sense gratification and seek deeper joy through spiritual connection.
đĄ Topics include:
Why sense pleasures are âpregnant with miseryâ
The emotional rollercoaster of hankering and lamentation
How to strengthen our inner guidance and intelligence
What makes a spiritually grounded relationship
Why real fulfillment comes from turning inward and upward toward Krishna
Join us as we learn to discern what actually serves our soulâand begin to build a life of lasting peace, connection, and joy.
