Gita in daily life - Ch.2,3 & 4 - An overview of karma-yoga

[Guest guest]

Namaste

 

The chapters 2, 3 amd 4 (and also parts of Chs. 5 & 18) of

the Gita detail a blueprint for all action in our daily

life. This part of the Gita goes by the well-known name of

Karma-yoga. Key concepts here are ‘detachment’ ,

‘dedication’ and ‘yajna’. Any amount of explanations given

would still be only an understatement of what Krishna

himself declares in His own powerful words. Here is one

such explanation, in fact an overview, under the title

‘The yajna methodology for detachment’. It is available

as a continuous account in 13 pages on the web at the

following URL:

pages, that are titled:

 

Detachment does not necessarily mean asceticism:
