In this class, we explore the foundational instructions on Deity worship as presented in the Uddhava Gita in the beginning of Chapter 27.

Many today associate "Kriya-Yoga" exclusively with modern meditative techniques, but in these verses, Lord Krishna reveals its original, scriptural context. He defines Kriya-Yoga as the "Yoga of Action"—the practical science of using our physical senses and external rituals to achieve internal liberation.

Responding to Uddhava’s request for a clear "means of liberation from the bondage of work," Krishna provides a systematic framework for worship that is both ancient and deeply accessible.

If you are looking to understand the "how" and "why" behind the ancient traditions of puja and deity service, this lesson offers the essential foundation.

 In this class, we covered verses 11.27.1-9.
