I'm Mahesh Harvu and over the last 20+ years, I've immersed myself in rationally understanding the tradition, and practices of Hinduism and have realized that the Gita and Upanishads are the gems I was looking for that provided practical, logical, and scientific universal answers to life's questions.
The Gita and Upanishad put me on the path of spirituality. Once I got on the path, there has been no looking back and I enjoy my moments in life with gratitude.
Through this channel, I address the common doubts, questions, or topics of spirituality, tradition, and practices in a rational manner (based on the Gita and Upanishad).
The primary audience for this channel is the inquisitive and open mind, overseas Indian, and young adults who seek logical answers and do not just go with blind faith.

    You explain these ideas very well, thank you for this video. I have taken a long journey through what might be best described as "modern yoga". It is a concoction of ill-informed ideas that have been hacked out of their original context, of the beautiful teachings of ancient India. As I listen to you describe the authentic teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, it makes me realise more and more how inadequate and how damaging "modern yoga" is to these glorious spiritual texts. Likewise, as I study Patanjali's teachings in detail, it is obvious to me that he would not recognise, nor would he approve, the yoga as it is practiced and taught in the modern era. It is illuminating to hear such beautiful ideas presented today as they likely were thousands of years ago. Thank you.

    Beautiful explanation of the difference between richness vs. prosoperity. "Rich is just the presence of material wealth but prosperity is more than that.Prosperity bring mental peace, brings an abundance of knowledge and recognition in the society. Wholesome prosperity. Amicable relationships between family members. All these are essential and this is the prosperity that Lakshmi Devi brings into our lives." Thank you for sharing 😊

    Modern & simplistic. Smt Anuradha has eased big concepts into simple practices and Shri Mahesh, you put forward important questions and recapped her response for emphasis. 👏🏽 With her tremendous experience and wisdom Smt Anuradha reaches anyone at whatever level of spirituality they are at. Eye & Eyelid pairing example for atma & paramatma is a gift received. Importance of Discipline, raising children well (a tapas), using artha & Kama to channelise between dharma & moksha, responsibilities of a man & fulfilling rNas as a duty to complete the sansaric life are all lessons to go forward with. Thank you. -Suparna

    Very useful and practical. I am quite new to religion and spiritual practice. Though, I have spent a huge amount of time getting to understand Patanjali, which I see as spiritual guidance and the means by which one reaches realisation of the supreme. From the little I know of the Bhagavad Gita, the way one should prepare are always described differently but, in practice, are very similar. I am enjoying your presentations very much. Namaste.

    I enjoyed your explanation. Thank you. A question that popped into mind as you read the list of lokas is: Why is that some chant the Gayatri Mantra as "'Aum bhuur bhuvas svaH" and other chant "Aum bhuur bhuvas suvaH"?

    • @GitaUpanishad
      @GitaUpanishad 8 місяців тому

      Thank you. The Upanishads/Vedas have both flavors as it does not materially change the meaning given the root of the word, to your question on Gayatri in the first line, the Taittiriya Scripture (source of it) has it as svaH.

I especially found it useful to know the names and the rationale for each of the various steps performed in welcoming a deity into the home as a guest.
