Join Rukmini Chaitanya for an inspiring class!
Are you ready to immerse yourself in one of the most profound spiritual dialogues ever spoken?
In this live webinar, Rukmini Chaitanya will introduce the next stage of our guided journey into the Uddhava Gita, Krishna’s final and most intimate teachings. This scripture—part of the Shrimad-Bhagavatam—is a treasure of Vedantic wisdom, revealing how devotion, Self-inquiry, and detachment harmonize into a single path leading to freedom and the realization of the Eternal Self.
Whether you are joining for the first time or continuing from our earlier courses, this study opens the door to timeless truths that speak directly to the heart of every seeker.
Why the Uddhava Gita?
The Uddhava Gita is Krishna’s farewell teaching before His departure from the world—a scripture filled with compassion, depth, and clarity.
Unlike the battlefield setting of the Bhagavad Gita, here the mood is intimate and contemplative. Uddhava, heartbroken at Krishna’s impending departure, turns to Him for guidance. In response, Krishna reveals the highest principles of Vedanta: the nature of the Self, the role of devotion, the power of discrimination, and the way to live with wisdom amidst the play of Maya.
This webinar serves as an introduction to the upcoming course Vedanta and the Uddhava Gita: Krishna’s Final Teachings on the Self with Rukmini Chaitanya.
What We Will Explore...
- The Vision of Non-Duality – Krishna explains how to see the One Reality behind all appearances, encouraging the seeker to move beyond illusion and stand firmly in the Self.
- The Practice of Inner Freedom – Teachings on detachment, simplicity, and self-mastery show us how to remain unshaken by pleasure and pain, success and failure.
- The Integration of Devotion and Knowledge – Krishna reveals how pure love for the Divine naturally blossoms into wisdom, and how wisdom itself matures into devotion—two paths, one truth.
- Timeless Guidance for Daily Life – Practical lessons on equanimity, discipline, surrender, and joy make the Uddhava Gita a living scripture for seekers today.
