What if love and attachment aren't the same thing?

Many of us believe that needing someone is proof of how deeply we love them. But the Bhagavad-gītā offers a different perspective—one that can transform our relationships and bring greater peace.

In this episode of Gita in Action, we continue our study of Chapter 13 by exploring the qualities Krishna describes as true knowledge. We discuss nonviolence, tolerance, truthfulness, and why reflecting on birth, old age, disease, and death isn't pessimistic—it's the beginning of wisdom.

Then we dive into one of the most practical teachings of the Bhagavad-gītā: the difference between affection and attachment.

Together we explore:

• Why love isn't the same as emotional dependence
• How attachment can quietly become control or codependency
• The difference between serving someone and needing something from them
• How a relationship with God transforms every other relationship in our lives
• Why true spiritual growth helps us love more deeply—not less

Whether you're studying the Bhagavad-gītā for the first time or simply looking for healthier, more fulfilling relationships, this conversation offers timeless wisdom for everyday life.

Are you searching for fulfillment in the right place?

Whether we realize it or not, we're all searching—for truth, purpose, happiness, and lasting satisfaction. The real question isn't whether we're searching, but where we're looking.

In this episode of Gita in Action, we explore Bhagavad-gītā 13.13 and Krishna's answer to the question: What is there to be known? Together we'll examine three ways people search for meaning—looking outward through science and the material world, inward through introspection and self-discovery, and upward through divine revelation.

Discover why external success and inner exploration, while valuable, can never fully satisfy the soul on their own—and how reconnecting with our eternal relationship with God brings the clarity and fulfillment we've been seeking all along.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why every human being is searching for something
• The strengths and limitations of science and material knowledge
• The value—and limits—of looking within
• Why spiritual knowledge descends through revelation
• The difference between the mind and the true self
• How understanding the soul transforms the way we live

Have you ever gone through a season where Krishna felt distant?

Maybe your chanting felt dry. Prayer felt difficult. Or you wondered if He was really there.

In Bhagavad-gītā 13.15–16, Krishna reveals something deeply comforting: His presence hasn't changed—our awareness has.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why Krishna describes Himself in ways that seem contradictory.
• What it means that He is beyond our material senses.
• How He can be both far away and closer than anyone else.
• Why we don't always perceive His presence.
• How bhakti gradually awakens our awareness of the One who has always been with us.

If you've ever felt spiritually disconnected, these verses offer a powerful reminder that Krishna never stopped being near.
