Gita

Human being is searching for wholeness or fulfillment or unconditional freedom in life. He is usually searching for it in wealth, power, fame etc., but obviously does not find it because freedom happens to be one’s own nature and Self-knowledge is the only means to attain/discover it. Life should become a process leading to this destination. Vedanta which consists of scriptures such as the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita teaches both the end as well as the means.

This talk will discuss the Shrimad Bhagavat Gita as Moksha shastra. The lakshana( characteristics) of a shastra and how the Gita helps in achieving the goal of Moksha will be delineated with appropriate shlokas from the Gita.
