Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 1-3, from the fourth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The song of God".

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 4, Verse 1:
श्रीभगवानुवाच |
इमं विवस्वते योगं प्रोक्तवानहमव्ययम् |
विवस्वान्मनवे प्राह मनुरिक्ष्वाकवेऽब्रवीत् || 1||
śhrī bhagavān uvācha
imaṁ vivasvate yogaṁ proktavān aham avyayam
vivasvān manave prāha manur ikṣhvākave ’bravīt
🔴 The Blessed Lord said:
This immutable Yoga I imparted to the Sun (Vivasvan) who declared it to Manu. Manu proclaimed it to Iksvaku.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 4, Verse 2:
एवं परम्पराप्राप्तमिमं राजर्षयो विदु: |
स कालेनेह महता योगो नष्ट: परन्तप || 2||
evaṁ paramparā-prāptam imaṁ rājarṣhayo viduḥ
sa kāleneha mahatā yogo naṣhṭaḥ parantapa
🔴 Royal sages have known this Yoga thus traditionally transmitted. O valiant prince! Due to lapse of long time, this Yoga has perished in this world.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 4, Verse 3:
स एवायं मया तेऽद्य योग: प्रोक्त: पुरातन: |
भक्तोऽसि मे सखा चेति रहस्यं ह्येतदुत्तमम् || 3||
sa evāyaṁ mayā te ’dya yogaḥ proktaḥ purātanaḥ
bhakto ’si me sakhā cheti rahasyaṁ hyetad uttamam
🔴 The same ancient Yoga has now been proclaimed to you by Me; for, you are a devotee and My comrade. Knowledge of this Yoga, indeed, is the highest mystery.
