Ep 35 | Guru, Knowledge and Freedom from Bondage | Decoding Bhagavad Gita with Swami Swaroopananda

The karmic cycle has an exit. We think our actions define us forever, binding us to endless cycles of cause and effect. But Bhagavan Shri Krishna reveals that knowledge, Jnana Yajna, burns through every result of every action and brings the cycle to an end. In this episode, Swami Swaroopananda ji unpacks why knowledge stands superior to every other yajna, the three types of karma, and how one should receive this knowledge from a teacher. In episode 35, we discuss: ✅ Why Jnana Yajna is superior to every other offering ✅ The three types of karma: Sanchita, Agami, and Prarabdha ✅ How will we meet our Guru? ✅ Why even a realised master's body continues to live out its destiny ✅ How to approach a true teacher ✅ Bhagavan's lofty vision ✅ Why knowledge burns away even the deepest guilt or sin This series is dedicated to understanding the Bhagavad Gita in a way that is practical, relevant, and applicable to daily, modern life.
