Episode : 1      The Modern Day Arjuna

Session-1 emphasized the importance of bolstering mental resilience, drawing parallels with technology updates for navigating life's intricacies effectively. Surrendering to the wisdom of the Geetha was likened to trusting a pilot during a flight—an act of allowing guidance toward serenity and joy. Practical strategies and takeaways emerged to aid this transformative path. Participants were encouraged to maintain a "complaint jar" to monitor and diminish habitual grievances, a tangible method to foster a positive mindset. Emphasis on vigilance over thoughts, steering away from negativity towards joy, further strengthened these strategies. This exercise aims to heighten awareness and nurture a more positive perspective. The participants were also encouraged to mindfully make note of aspects that are deflecting them from being happy.

Episode : 2   Becoming A student 

In “Episode 2: Becoming a Student", the core focus revolved around adopting the student's role within the spiritual journey. Expanding on the prior exploration of Geetha Vahini and Arjuna's challenges, the session emphasized embracing a student's mindset. Discussions centered on Arjuna as the iconic seeker, reflecting the doubts and challenges encountered along the spiritual path. Throughout, divinity (Krishna) was highlighted as the ultimate guide, steering individuals toward understanding, unity, and enlightenment. The session integrated activities, reflections, and shared experiences to underscore the significance of maintaining mental vigilance, fostering a receptive attitude towards learning, and relinquishing personal inclinations. Moreover, homework was assigned, prompting introspection on "How can we make this Universe a University?"—encouraging internal exploration to discover opportunities for learning within ourselves, our friends, family, and environment.

Episode : 3     FLIP THE SWITCH

This episode was all about changing our POV (Point Of View). This was a continuation of Chapter 2 in Gita Vahini which describes Arjuna’s apprehensions of the war . While Arjuna could see the war only as “killing of near and dear ones”, Lord Krishna helped him elevate his thought process and see it as his DUTY to uphold Dharma. As an attempt to understand and implement this concept in our day-to-day life, some realistic and relatable problems were shared. The discussions around them helped us understand how just changing our POV could help us win over our inner turmoils and gain triumph over situations that challenge our inner peace. The session included smaller group discussions to reflect on previous episode’s assignment - lessons learnt from our surroundings / the Universe. Our collaborative session ended with reminding people to take that much needed pause before any crisis, understand there is something within that needs to be flipped and embrace it with open arms.

Episode :9 Exploring the unmanifest

"The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between." - Mozart_✨🎶


Unmanifest is the attribute of the Atma as expounded in the Geetha Vahini. It represents the  realm of infinite potential where all possibilities exist before taking form. It is the silent space between actions, thoughts, and moments. By letting go and embracing the Unmanifest, we tap into creativity and insight, allowing us to Manifest the best versions of ourselves.


A space where the infinite whispers,
And the universe listens.
The cosmic cradle, where all that is,
And all that will be, Exists in a state of possibility,
Unseen, untouched, unformed.


Before the thought, before the word,
Before the action, before the world,
There’s a pause.
A silent beat between the beats,
A gap between the moments,
Where the magic happens,
Where the unknown meets the known.


In this space, we are creators.
Not by force, not by will,
But by letting go,
By surrendering to the unmanifest,
We become vessels of insight,
Of creativity, pure and untouched.
Where thoughts dissolve,
Where actions cease,
Where time itself is an illusion,
And in this nothingness,
We find everything.


For it is here,
In the embrace of the unmanifest,
That we discover who we are,
Not just beings,
But becoming.
Not just existing,
But manifesting.


The best versions of ourselves,
Birthed from the void,
From the space that is,
And yet is not.

Unmanifest,
The attribute of the Atma,
Our guide, our compass,
To a world beyond the seen,
Towards a self beyond the known.
