Gautamji talks on Chapter 1 - The Yoga of Arjuna's Despondency

In this episode, Gautamji explains how the mind becomes agitated and disturbed when we personalize our actions through selfishness. This in turn clouds our judgement and impairs our actions. He recapitulates the four ages of perception, superstition, scientific enquiry, and contemplation. He also elaborates on the symbolism of Lord Ganesha and its relevance to the gross and subtle intellect.
