Talk #2 on the Bhagavad Gita by Swami Nirmalananda: What Is the Self?

The second in a series of talks by Swami Nirmalananda Giri (Abbot George Burke) on the Bhagavad Gita, India's most famous scripture: the unforgettable dialog between Sri Krishna and Arjuna about the essence of spiritual life.
In this talk, Swamiji discusses Krishna's description of the Self, the Atman, the real inner Self of our self, and how that knowledge will determine how we act and react in all situations of our lives. These spiritual teachings will affect your spiritual growth and your practice of yoga and meditation.
We will be posting more satsangs where Swamiji discusses the practical spiritual aspects of the Gita, the most important of the scriptures of India and Hinduism.
For those wishing to make a deeper study of the Gita, Swamiji's commentary on the Gita, "The Bhagavad Gita for Awakening: A Practical Commentary for Leading a Successful Spiritual Life" can be found here: www.amazon.com/dp/1732526605
