In this Global Satsang based on Bhagavad Gita, Swamiji gives us a comprehensive understanding of what the goal of our life ought to be. He gives us a peek into the thought processes of our Vedic thinkers and tells us how they finally attained their goal of life.

In the ancient times, people felt immensely humbled by the natural powers which appeared huge and infinite. So, they started praying to the natural powers like fire, air, wind etc. Slowly they reached a stage when they were no longer satisfied with just praying and singing hymns of the invisible Gods. As a result, they started giving offerings in the fire uttering Vedic Mantras so that the offerings could reach the respective deities. This unilateral exercise of offering to unseen Gods also did not give them fulfilment. So, they closed their eyes and started delving into their mind. The process of introspection led them to their goal.

Giving examples of Mundakopanishad and Kathopanishad, Swamiji shows us how Shaunaka and Nachiketa received and imbibed the knowledge. They presented their enquiry and received instructions in a peaceful setting. But the background of Bhagavad Gita was completely different.

Arjuna wanted to know how to attain the goal of life (attain Shreyas) in the middle of the battlefield while facing the most severe challenge a human can face in life. We also face challenges in our life and they are all pertaining to our mind and intelligence. We also fall prey to doubts, delusion and confusion just like Arjuna. This is the reason why Bhagavad Gita is a universal gospel which can be applied in all life situations even today. It is a historic, administrative text which provides an answer for any problem faced by a human, in any field of life.
