Qualities of Devotion • Talk 56 on the Bhagavad Gita by Swami Nirmalananda

The fifty-sixth in a series of talks by Swami Nirmalananda Giri (Abbot George Burke) on the Bhagavad Gita, India's most famous scripture: the unforgettable dialog between Sri Krishna and Arjuna about the essence of spiritual life.

In this talk, starting with Chapter 12:19, Swamiji discusses seeing the world with equal vision, the qualities of devotion, contentment and silence. These spiritual teachings will help in your spiritual growth and your practice of yoga and meditation.

We will be posting more satsangs where Swamiji discusses the practical spiritual aspects of the Gita, the most important of the scriptures of India and Hinduism.
