“Each person has to fight his own battle of Kurukshetra. It is a war not only worth winning, but in the divine order of the universe and of the eternal relationship between the soul and God, a war that sooner or later must be won.”
— Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda
In this talk, Yogoda Satsanga Society of India sannyasi Swami Chaitanyananda Giri presents insights into Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings on the internal battle between our good and bad tendencies as symbolized in the Bhagavad Gita. By following Bhagavan Krishna’s counsel in the Gita, we adhere to dharma — and, as the Mahabharata says, “Where there is dharma, there is victory.” By perseverance in following this way of righteousness, says Swami Chaitanyananda, we eventually attain the ultimate victory of Self-realization.
This satsanga was live-streamed from the Sadhana Sangam held in January 2024 at the Yogoda Satsanga Sakha Math, Ranchi.
