Episode 5 — Tyāga: Renouncing the Grip, Not the World

Gita For Life ·

2026/09/25

What does true Tyāga—renunciation really mean? The Tejobindu Upanishad teaches that Tyāga is not abandoning our family, work or possessions; it is releasing the inner identification that says, “My worth and happiness depend on what I possess.” Through the recognition of the Self as Sat-Chit—Being-Consciousness, the burden of “me” and “mine” begins to dissolve. This episode explores how we can participate fully in life, fulfil our responsibilities and enjoy what we have—without allowing possessions,

Episode 4 — Niyama: The Art of Returning the Mind

Gita For Life ·

2026/09/24

What does real mental discipline mean? The Tejobindu Upanishad defines Niyama through two powerful principles: सजातीयप्रवाह, maintaining the flow of thoughts aligned with the chosen truth, and विजातीयतिरस्कृति, withdrawing energy from thoughts that lead us away from it. Niyama does not mean never becoming distracted. It means noticing the distraction and consciously returning—again and again—until remembrance becomes the natural direction of the mind.

2026/09/24

The Tejobindu Upanishad presents fifteen limbs of inner Yoga and gives familiar yogic practices a profound Advaitic meaning. This episode introduces these fifteen limbs and explores Yama—not merely as controlling behaviour, but as regulating the senses through the understanding “सर्वं ब्रह्म—Everything is Brahman.” When our perception changes, self-restraint no longer remains suppression; desire itself begins to lose its unconscious hold over us.

Gita For Life ·

2026/09/24

Continuing through the first fourteen shlokas, this episode explores Brahman as the Reality beyond form, speech, thought and psychological opposites. Pleasure and pain, praise and criticism, gain and loss continually change—but who is aware of these changing experiences? Through this profound inquiry, the Tejobindu Upanishad invites us to move beyond identification with the mind and discover the silent awareness present behind every experience.

What is the highest form of meditation, and how should we prepare ourselves for it? In this opening exploration of the Tejobindu Upanishad, we discover Tejobindu as the luminous centre of consciousness.
