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.
