Lecture link: [Biography of Swami Vivekananda] https://www.ramakrishnavivekananda.info/vivekananda_biography/07_the_parliament.htm, [Essence of the Bhagavad Gita for modern minds] https://practicalphilosophy.in/2026/03/30/essence-of-the-bhagavad-gita-for-modern-minds/
Meeting minutes of last lecture:
1. In the last class we saw before leaving for America, Swamiji traveled across India as a wandering monk and finally meditated on a rock at Kanyakumari. There, reflecting on India's past glory and present struggles, he felt a clear sense of mission: to work for the upliftment of India and share its spiritual wisdom with the world.
2. Swamiji sailed to America without sufficient money, contacts, or even a guaranteed place at the Parliament. As a result, he faced many hardships after arriving in America. At the Parliament of Religions in Chicago, his opening words, "Sisters and Brothers of America," instantly connected with the audience and made him one of the most admired speakers. His message emphasized the universality of religion, tolerance, and acceptance rather than conversion or religious superiority. We will continue from the same place where we stopped in the last class (Continuing, the Swami said ...)
3. After this we started reading on the Gita book till Chapter-6 were we discussed about the sloka BG-2-7 (कार्पण्यदोषोपहतस्वभाव: पृच्छामि त्वां धर्मसम्मूढचेता: । यच्छ्रेय: स्यान्निश्चितं ब्रूहि तन्मे शिष्यस्तेऽहं शाधि मां त्वां प्रपन्नम्) where Arjuna surrenders to Krishna and requests Krishna to tell him what is shreyas for Arjuna to do. Today we will continue from Chapter-7.
