Lecture series by Nutan Swamiji during Delhi Sadhana Shibiram 2025.
Date: 18 September 2025
Venue: CIRD, Delhi

Discussing the Buddhi yoga of the Bhagavad Gita in this series of talks, Swamiji finally discusses the supreme sadhana of Sharanagati (surrender). Sri Krishna asked Arjuna to mentally renounce all actions to the Supreme. By taking to buddhi-yoga (anchoring the intelligence in the inmost Reality), the mind should abide constantly in the Supreme.

Bhagavad Gita asks seekers to take wholesome refuge in the Supreme. When one has one-pointed devotion, when the mind is completely offered to the Lord, one will attain the Supreme. Sri Krishna declares that when a person takes complete refuge in Him (the Supreme), he will free that person of all sins.

Swamiji emphasizes that surrender is truly tested only in the presence of the Guru. Before the beginning of the war, Arjuna confessed his weakness, confusion, and delusion and took refuge in Krishna. Accepting Krishna as his Guru, he sought instruction on the path of Shreyas. Sri Krishna could assume the role of the Guru and give guidance and instructions only when Arjuna surrendered to him.
