Do you ever sit down to focus—only to find your mind racing in a hundred different directions? In this episode, we explore Krishna’s timeless advice from Bhagavad Gita 6.26 on how to deal with the flickering, restless nature of the mind.

Instead of blaming ourselves for drifting, Krishna teaches us to gently return the mind—again and again—under the guidance of the self. This isn’t failure; it’s the practice.

We’ll talk about how our daily distractions form deep impressions, how consistent redirection can reshape our inner world, and why spiritual growth often begins with becoming conscious of our own consciousness. Whether you’re meditating, working, or just trying to stay present with your loved ones, this conversation will give you practical tools and reflections to start training the mind—one gentle return at a time.

What do a sparrow and your spiritual practice have in common? In this class, we explore Bhagavad Gita 6.24–6.25, where Krishna encourages us to stay steady in yoga with determination and faith—even when progress feels slow. Drawing from Srila Prabhupada’s powerful story of a sparrow trying to empty the ocean one beakful at a time, we’ll reflect on how even our smallest efforts in bhakti-yoga are meaningful and transformative.

We’ll talk about how to manage desires, train the mind, strengthen our conviction, and keep returning to our spiritual path despite distractions. If you’ve ever felt discouraged or doubted whether your practice is enough, this class is for you. Because when we show up with sincerity, Krishna shows up with compassion—and together, small steps lead to lasting change.

What if real happiness wasn’t something you had to chase—or fear losing? In this class on Bhagavad Gita 6.20–23, we explore Krishna’s description of samādhi, the state of deep inner absorption that brings unshakable joy, even in the face of life’s hardest challenges. You’ll learn how spiritual happiness differs from material pleasure, why it’s so fulfilling, and how to start experiencing it through the practice of bhakti-yoga. Through relatable stories, analogies, and reflection questions, we’ll unpack how to move from temporary satisfaction to lasting fulfillment—and why the joy that comes from connecting with Krishna is truly the happiness nothing can take away.
