Jai Shri Krishna.
The latest episode of Geeta Jeevana Vidhana addresses a question that quietly troubles many devotees — “Even after visiting temples regularly, performing pujas, and observing vrathas, why do life’s problems remain?” In Episode-06, Sriman Chakradhari Das offers a thoughtful and reassuring answer through the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita.
More than questioning rituals, this discourse gently redirects attention toward inner transformation.
Temple Visits and the Missing Inner Shift
Visiting a temple, offering aarti, and making naivedyam are all sacred practices. However, this episode explains that these acts represent only the starting point of devotion. While external worship creates spiritual discipline, lasting peace does not arise unless the mind and character also evolve.
The Gita reminds us that devotion without self-awareness remains incomplete. Real change begins when thoughts, intentions, and behaviour slowly align with dharma.
Understanding Why Difficulties Exist
A powerful message in this episode is the reinterpretation of suffering. Problems in life are often mistaken as divine punishment or anger. However, the Gita presents a different truth — difficulties are opportunities for inner growth.
Challenges are meant to reveal our attachments, weaknesses, and fears. Instead of asking “Why is this happening to me?”, the episode encourages asking “What is this teaching me?”
Applying Gita Wisdom to Daily Life
Key principles such as Nishkama Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Samathva Buddhi are explained in simple terms. Listeners are guided on how to perform duties sincerely without excessive attachment to results.
Whether in family life, professional responsibilities, or social interactions, balance and responsibility were highlighted as practical forms of devotion. Spirituality, the discourse explains, does not demand escape from life — it asks for conscious living.
Changing Perspective Before Changing Circumstances
One of the most impactful takeaways is this — before problems disappear, the way we look at them must change. Remembering God while fulfilling responsibilities honestly, avoiding harm to others, and choosing dharma in daily decisions were described as the true signs of bhakti.
Temple visits strengthen faith, but character strengthens destiny.
Who Should Listen to This Discourse?
This episode is especially meaningful for those who feel confused despite sincere devotion. It speaks directly to devotees, working professionals, youth, and families seeking spiritual clarity amid daily pressures.
By presenting the Gita as a way of life rather than a philosophy, the discourse offers practical hope.
Jai Shri Krishna.
