Ep. 69: Gita Series: The Lord's Song: Tuning into Transformation (19 of 20)

In this episode, James untangles the nuanced perspective of the Bhagavad Gita, emphasizing that it's not merely a hymn from mortals to the Divine but a transformative dialogue meant to be internalized. Exploring the lesser-discussed theme of the Lord's Song, he explores the profound idea that the wisdom within the Gita is not for confirmation but for personal transformation. Drawing parallels from various life experiences, including surfing and parenting, James illustrates how the Gita's teachings resonate across different domains, urging listeners to reflect on its verses over time for a profound shift. Join James on this insightful journey as he highlights the timeless message that the song has been sung for all eternity, waiting for us to tune in.
