Tasmat Yogi Bhava – Yoga in Gita
Bhagavad-Gita is a manual of life and shows us the relevance of many words and concepts in our day-to-day life. In the Gita, Lord Krishna has explained the concept of Yoga in a most unique way. The topic of Yoga comes in the Gita in various chapters. In this session, an attempt will be made to combine those instances and try to understand the concept of Yoga, as envisaged by Lord Krishna.
