Chinmaya Mission Karimnagar and Sri Kanyaka Parameshwari Devasthanam Trust cordially invites you to the talk on Bhagavad gita chapter-2 (sankhya yoga) by Br Akshaya Chaitanya.

Br Akshaya Chaitanya conducted a Geeta Gyana Yajna in Karimnagar from 16-04-2017 to 22-04-2017. In his simply unique style he explained the introduction and 1st chapter of Bhagwad Geeta. The devotees were enriched by Br Akshaya Chaitanya’s simple, clear and lucid explanations of the shlokas. The devotees are always captivated by his knowledge, power of memory and his way of making shlokas easy for all to understand.

The venue of the Gyana Yajna was the Sri Kanyaka Parameshwari Devasthanam, Karimnagar. About 60+ seekers attended the Gyana Yajna daily.

Now The second chapter of Gita (from 23-05-2017 to 30-05-2017) is entitled “The Sankhya Yoga”. Yoga means union. Yuj means to join. In Sanskrit it is called Yoga and in English it is called Religion. Each chapter of Bhagavad Gita is called Yoga and it helps you to unite. You are separated from something and you are asked to unite to something you are separated from. If you use physical body to unite with self it is Karma Yoga. If you use your mind to unite with self it is Bhakti yoga. If you use your knowledge/ intellect to unite with self it is called Gnana Yoga. The physical Body, Mind and Intellect are the equipment's that you carry with you.

The 2^nd Chapter can be classified into 4 main topics as under:

1^st Topic – Arjuna saranagadhi (Verse 1 to 10).

2^nd Topic – Gnana Yogaga (verse 11 to 38) otherwise called Sankya yogaga.

3^rd Topic – Karma Yogaga (verse 39 to 53).

4^th Topic – Sthitapragna Lakshanani (verse 54 to 72).

One cannot know what one has to do unless one's position in this world is known to one's self. Your duty, your attitude, the functions that you have to perform – all these are determined by the location of your personality in a given atmosphere. Thus, the concept of duty may be regarded as something relative, and not absolute. You cannot prescribe one particular function as the duty of a person forever and ever till eternity. The person we are speaking of, or referring to, is to a large extent identical with what we would call the 'individual' – the so-called 'me', 'you', etc. Our duty in this world, what the world expects from us, is dependent upon what we are, what we know, what we are capable of – and again, all these things depend upon where we are placed.
