Play the Role

Omm Namo Bhagavate

*“This lotus of the Mahabharata… Gita contains the essence of the Vedas,” says the* ***Gita Mahatmyam*** *(Greatness of Gita). The point is*, vast gyaana can come in small packages, or as the editors wrote in the intro to Swamiji’s book **Manifesting Divine,** “what is contained in a paragraph, even a sentence or phrase, is often equivalent to an encyclopedia being written on the head of a pin.”

Most verses of the Bhagavad Gita are just one or two sentences, but for an aspiring yogi, those few words can spark hours and days of contemplation. The same goes for this audio segment. Barely eight minutes in length, but conveying conceptual depth that merits meticulous consideration. From an October 2026 Interaction at Satyachetana Ashram, Tiruvannamalai.
