This five-day lecture series explores the transformative wisdom of verses 54 to 72 in Chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita, where Sri Krsna eloquently describes the qualities and inner experience of the enlightened soul.
These teachings, focused on the nature of the Stithaprajna — the person of steady wisdom — address the deepest uncertainties and challenges of modern living while pointing towards a state of absolute fulfillment.
Why This Wisdom Resonates Today
Arjuna’s question and Krishna’s illuminating teaching on the enlightened soul hold extraordinary relevance: they offer a path not only for spiritual fulfillment, but also for balanced living and resilience amid the era of rapid change and uncertainty.
By understanding and integrating the qualities of the Stithaprajna, listeners can cultivate inner peace, move beyond fleeting desires, and achieve a sense of immortality and purpose in daily life.
The talks, guided by Dr. Janki Santoke – renowned Vedanta scholar and Bhagavad Gita expert – will reveal how to embody the tranquility, clarity, and joy described in these verses — empowering us to meet every situation, decision, and dilemma with the wisdom of one who has truly merged with eternity.
What You’ll Learn in This 5-Days' Yajna
In these powerful 60-minute talks spread over 5 days, Jankiji will decode the Bhagavad Gita’s timeless insights, resulting in an understanding of:
- Freedom from Inner Turmoil - The teachings illustrate how steady wisdom enables one to stay unshaken by life’s ups and downs, moving beyond joy for gain and sorrow for loss. This equanimity addresses career anxiety, relationship struggles, and the relentless pace of modern life.
- Emotional Resilience in All Circumstances - An enlightened soul navigates the world with emotional detachment, self-mastery, and inner satisfaction, releasing the need for external validation or material outcomes. This results in reduced stress, healthier relationships, and greater peace of mind.
- Absolute Fulfillment and Purpose - Worldly enjoyments become insignificant compared to the bliss within, enabling listeners to act with clarity, purpose, and compassion even in uncertain times. As rivers enter the ocean, so do desires and experiences enter the heart of the sage, without disturbing its calm.
- Steadiness Amid Change - The enlightened individual achieves fulfillment beyond change or loss, offering a blueprint for enduring happiness and ethical clarity even as technology, career paths, or personal circumstances evolve.
