Acharya Prashant left me Speechless with these Gita Insights @ShriPrashant

In Episode 177 of PG Radio, we talk with Acharya Prashant @ShriPrashant about the wisdom of ancient Indian philosophy, focusing on the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. The conversation starts with a deep dive into the Law of Karma and leads into the big question: What is the "I" or the "Self"? Acharya Prashant also explains key parts of the Bhagavad Gita, including Arjun’s dilemma, the role of Krishna's teachings, and how these lessons can guide us in our everyday lives.

Through his organization, the PrashantAdvait Foundation, Acharya Prashant advocates for conscious living, inner clarity, and the importance of questioning traditional beliefs.

[Sushamarajendra]

निराशीः निर्ममो भूत्वा।
निराशी हो जाओ अर्जुन, कोई आशा मत रखो।
निर्मम हो जाओ अर्जुन, क्योंकि कोई आशा तुम्हे पूरा नहीं कर सकती।
Cycles of continuous disappointments makes you nirmam.
Very analytical conversation which blows our mind and initiates critical thinking.

ONE OF THE BEST CONVERSATION I HAVE EVER LISTENED TOO

[heyymantt]

Some insightful points mentioned in the podcast:

1. The law of karma is not about the karma (deed), but about the karta (doer). Since it's impossible to find the right knowledge about anything in the outside material world, the real source of knowledge lies inside (intention, character, etc.). Karma can be misleading because of the complexity of situations, hence focus on the karta. Additionally; once the karta is right, there needs to be applied little emphasis on the karma.
2. "I" is a feeling/an experience, but what it actually is, is unknown. Almost always this "I" is restless. An unconscious and uninformed interpretation of this "I" is the body. It's impossible to put an end to the restlessness by misinterpreting it as the body; and hence in order to fulfill this restlessness there is the origination of afterlife (heaven and hell). This "I" is the ego and it doesn't exist.
3. Adhyatm means self knowledge, not spirituality. It means to search about the lies of the ego.
4. Bhagvad Gita doesn't prescribe you the right thing, it clears your misconceptions. Once all the doubts are clear, you will always do the right thing.
5. Biology and Culture are the two obstructions to the path of a simple fulfilled life.
6. Truth is like light; it does not actively do anything, but it's presence enables you to do great things. Like krishna, it's the illuminator / catalyst / enabler.
7. Anybody who tells you what to do, in any way or form, is trying to keep you bonded. The war is between the forces that are trying you bonded versus you.
8. Everything right comes under the umbrella of Dharma as Dharma is just one thing. Whatever breaks the misconceptions about the ego is Dharma.

कम समय मे और सरल शब्दों में श्री भगवतगीता की सुंदर चर्चा।

[Kashew.V]

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PODCATS OF PRAKHAR KE PRAVACHAN .people need to listen to it multiple times and note down the very important points discussed and dwell on it.

[sandhyachourey]

आचार्यजी ने बहुत ही सरल सहज भाषा
में समझाया है, गीता को उनको
सुनने के बाद कोई कनफ़्यूजन बचता ही नही।

[AbhiRadhikaDas]

Never heard such kind of talk before. Thank you both!

[AnshGupta-cd]

Prashant ji is looking satisfied with the level of knowledge of prakhar bhai

[jyotichoudhury]

Wow.Best discussion I ever heard on Geeta.

[divyanshuverma]

महत्वपूर्ण, कर्म को नहीं कर्ता को बदलना है। भारी बदलाव बाद में करना है पहले खुद को बदलना है हम सही तो सब सही ही होगा।
प्रकृति में क्रियाएं हो रही हैं इन क्रियाओं में हमारा किरदार है कि ईमानदारी की सहायता से खुद को जानना।
