Video Discourses by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj

In this series of seven talks, Siddheshvari Devi Ji has extracted essential knowledge from the Geeta. The first lesson learned is that one must not identify oneself with the physical and mortal body but with the divine and mortal body but with the divine and immortal soul. Next, it is explained that every individual soul must surrender to God. The meaning of surrender is disclosed as ‘the stage of complete inactivity.’ Since the mind is the performer of actions, it is the mind which must be surrendered to God. It is explained logically that the world, to which the mind is currently surrendered, does not possess true happiness. Once the mind turns away from the material world, a divine guru is necessary who can teach the student how to surrender to Shri Krishna. Two methods of surrendering the mind are explained in detail: Karm Sanyas and Karm Yog. Didi Ji reveals the extremely deep concepts of the Geeta very lucidly and begins her talks with devotions rendered to Guru and God.
