Winning the Battle of Life (Kurukshetra Within Me) - Part - 5 | Swami Smaranananda Giri

Yogananda Monastics SRF YSS Convocation

Sep 6, 2022 #Yogananda #Gita #BhagavadGita

This is the fifth in a series of inspirational talks on the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita as interpreted by Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda in God Talks With Arjuna, the great Guru’s divinely inspired translation of and extensive commentary on this beloved scripture. The speaker is Swami Smaranananda Giri, a long-time sannyasi and current vice-president of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India, the organization founded by Paramahansaji in 1917 to disseminate his Kriya Yoga teachings in India and neighbouring countries. Paramahansa Yogananda (author of the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi) interpreted the Bhagavad Gita with divine insight, exploring its psychological, spiritual, and metaphysical depths. He revealed the innermost essence of this majestic scripture while presenting an enlightening and deeply encouraging guide to who we are, why we were created, and our place and purpose in the vast cosmic scheme of things. In the previous four talks in this series (available on YouTube), Swami Smarananandaji had introduced the book God Talks With Arjuna and elaborated on Paramahansaji’s commentary on the first nine Slokas. In the fifth talk, Swamiji delves into Verse 9, describing the Kauravas enumerated therein, whom a devotee must be wary about as they represent specific principles that oppose spiritual progress. In his “how-to-live” teachings, Paramahansa Yogananda has given to people of all cultures, races, and creeds the means to free themselves from physical, mental, and spiritual inharmonies — to create for themselves a life of enduring happiness and all-round success.
