In this class we begin one of the great stories of the Uddhava Gita, that of the hyper-stoic Avanti Brahmana. Krishna tells Uddhava this story to show how, at its highest level, inner transcendental focus enables a person to transcend the most difficult external experiences, and how such difficulties can inspire a deeper dedication to spirituality. In this class, we covered verses 11.23.1-16.

Money! Everyone wants it. But how you use the money you have, can make you or break you, even spiritually! Here we can hear Krishna tell the story of the Avanti Brahmana, who now shares his hard-earned wisdom on the subject of money, having previously destroyed his life and wellbeing by being too attached to it, above all else. In this class, we covered verses 11.23.17-24.

In a world where many view God as a cosmic errand boy granting wealth, fame, and success, the notion that suffering could be a sign of divine favor might seem strange. In this class we’ll see how you can transform suffering into a powerful catalyst for spiritual joy and profound wisdom. In this class, we covered verses 11.23.25-30.
