In this episode, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri speaks on the essence of a true Guru, the dangers of spiritual exclusivity, and the illusion of external boons.

“If you have had God-realization, then nothing should matter to you anymore—you have got everything.”

He shares personal stories of divine guidance, God-dependence, and his visits to sacred sites like Dakshineswar. A reflection on spiritual family, the real meaning of realization, and the inner path to the Divine.

In this episode, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri reflects deeply on the Bhagavad Gita as the essence of all scriptures. He emphasizes, “The Gita is the total essence of all scriptures… it is always dispelling darkness.” Yogivah Giri affirms that the Gita is not symbolic—it is literal truth and living guidance for every endeavor: “The Gita is like the guiding light of the North Star… it applies light to whatever your interest is.”

He shares that true understanding arises not only through reading but “with the aid of a guru… someone you can look in the eye, someone you can touch.” The guru, he reminds us, is not an invisible spirit, but a realized human presence who helps reveal the Gita’s wisdom.

The talk explores the five mental states encountered in meditation and the essential difference between kriya practice and true yoga. Through personal stories of surrender, simplicity, and renunciation, Yogivah Giri demonstrates that “only by taking recourse in the Gita” can one face life’s trials with peace, devotion, and clarity.

In this episode, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri shares a vivid analogy of spiritual awakening: comparing the removal of a massive tree to the gradual elimination of karma and ignorance. He explains how true progress begins with small efforts, and how the grace of the Guru and Divine Mother can ultimately liberate the soul.

“You remove the whole tree, but the root system—Parabdha karma—remains, only to exhaust itself over time.”

Through reflections on selfless service, the limits of book knowledge, and the supreme clarity found in the Bhagavad Gita, the talk guides listeners toward simplicity, devotion, and unwavering daily sadhana. “Meditation and connecting to God is easy,” he says. “Just practice the technique.”
