16: Uddhava Gita from Bhagavata Purana 6.18-21

Weekly class on selected chapters taught by Swami Tadatmananda.
The Uddhava Gita is a small section from the famous Bhagavata Purana in which Sri Krishna imparts powerful Vedantic teachings to his dear friend and devotee, Uddhava, much in the same way that Sri Krishna teaches Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita.

Namaste Swamiji. Thank you for an excellent class. I was glad the speech was mentioned. Speech is so important and every uttered word carries tremendous power. Some years ago I had similar realization as you when I realized how much I was trying to get attention just by speaking. Today most of my day I spend in silence even that I converse with my family. And sometimes I feel I don't want to be engaged in conversation but I learnt to just do it and be silent in myself whilst the conversation lasts. The words then come spontaneously and perfectly without much engagement. 🙏

Pranam Swamiji I have had to literally withdraw to the forest to get away from all the "monkey chatter" too many talkers and not enough listeners I know its action but there is a lot of talk and no action where its needed in the practical world. thank you.

Your exposition of verse 19 was particularly helpful and well received. Thank you once again, Pranām Swamiji 🙏🕉

Misdirected efforts in life may bring the bad fruit of losing the right path, the misery of forgetfulness of the Absolute.
