The Bhagavad Gita is a dialogue which transpired amidst the din and bustle of the battlefield of Kurukshetra. If the Upanishads are learned, taught and imbibed in the calm environments of the forest, devoid of activity and tussles, Bhagavad Gita is in the midst of all activities, the most adventurous and painstaking one, namely war.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna was giving the message of yoga– an enrichment of our activities and interactions. Administering a new dimension, elevating the activity is yoga. The elevational part of it is done by the mind and intelligence.

Sri Krishna advocated mental or inner sannyasa, renunciation–all activities to be made an offering to the Supreme Lord, by spiriutualizing the mind. Spirituality is becoming desire-free and non-possessive. When there is no desire, the mind’s constrictions are gone and the mind becomes very healthy, powerful and effective in taking up every action. So, Sannyasa is dropping all desires and possessiveness. This is inner renunciation. Making the mind spiritual is renouncing all activities, entrusting all activities to either God or nature.

Shlokas chanted in the Track:

मयि सर्वाणि कर्माणि सन्न्यस्याध्यात्मचेतसा ।
निराशीर्निर्ममो भूत्वा युध्यस्व विगतज्वरः ।।
Bhagavad Gita 3.30
