    Commentaries around

    “In the Bhagavad Gītā, Karma is defined as a Śodhana Kriyā where,
    as actions are performed, they also offer a chance to refine oneself.
    Thus, whatever I do and whatever happens is a chance to refine myself.
    The Bhāvana here is Ātma Śuddha where all actions are an opportunity
    for purification of that which inhibits the expression of our essence.”
    – Paul Harvey on Bhagavad Gītā Chapter Five verse 11

    “The message of the Bhagavad Gītā is:
    The vision of the lord is certain through
    singular devotion developed by honouring ones Dharma
    in a spirit that leads to clarity and detachment.”
    – TKV Desikachar on Gītārtha Saṃgraha of Śrī Yāmunācārya Śloka One
