Episode notes
Gautamji responds to students’ questions on the qualities of a Yogi, the three paths to salvation, and the path of Dharma. He also discusses the role of physical asanas and pranayama in spiritual growth, how to set healthy boundaries with materialism, and how Vedanta offers guidance in overcoming collective fear and anxiety. Gautamji explains that the concluding 18 verses of Chapter 2 present the portrait of the perfect human being — the most celebrated, uplifting, and divine section of the Gita.
