The Path of Surrender What does it really mean to surrender? To many people, surrender sounds like defeat—giving up control, becoming passive, or allowing someone else to dictate your life. But the Bhagavad-gita presents something very different. At the conclusion of His teachings to Arjuna, Krishna gives perhaps His most famous and far-reaching instruction: “Abandon all varieties of dharma and simply surrender unto Me.

Faced with the terrible consequences of battle, he wanted to walk away from everything—to renounce his duty and retreat from the world. But Krishna told him something surprising: Simply giving up action will not free you from karma. We cannot actually stop acting. We work, eat, speak, raise families, form relation

The soul beyond the body – Who am I really? In the continuation of this series from a retreat, the question raised is what do you do when you genuinely don’t know what the right thing to do is? Arjuna stood on the battlefield of Kurukshetra facing an impossible choice. On one side was his duty. On the other were people he loved—relatives, friends and respected teachers. Although renowned as a fearless warrior, Arjuna was overwhelmed. Whatever he chose seemed certain to bring suffering. It is at
