Krishna was available to both. One begged for guidance. The other rejected it, even when God stood before him. This is not history. This is consciousness. We may change our clothes, food, habits, even our vocabulary. But if the heart still says, “I know better,” then the Gita has not yet begun in our life. Arjuna had strength, status, experience, and still he surrendered. Duryodhana had access to God, and still he refused. Bhakti does not start with rituals. It starts when humility replaces ego, when trust replaces fear, when we truly accept guidance. Ask yourself honestly am I seeking counsel like Arjuna, or resisting it like Duryodhana? #bhagavadgita #arjuna #duryodhana #faithandconsciousness #spiritualgrowth #bhaktiyoga #sadhuSanga #innertransformation #madansundardas #madansundardasofficial #madansundardasquotes #motivationalspeaker #iskcon #evolvepune ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Madan Sundar Das, a distinguished scholar, holds a Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in the United States.

Bhagavad Gita Begins Only After Surrender | Madan Sundar Das | ISKCON Hinjewadi

Madan Sundar Das 20 hours ago

Life rarely breaks us. Our outlook does. When the mind is trained to search for faults, even the best people begin to look unbearable. The problem then is not in the relationship it is in the lens through which we see it. A mind that gives benefit of doubt, that chooses respect over reaction, that tries once more instead of walking away can revive even what seemed impossible. The Bhagavad Gita reminds us: the mind is a tool. Used wisely, it liberates. Used carelessly, it binds. Your destiny is not decided by circumstances, but by the state of your mind. #mindsetmatters #relationshipwisdom #mentalclarity #personalgrowth #mindmanagement #lifelessons #positiveoutlook #innerstrength #madansundardas #madansundardasofficial #madansundardasquotes #motivationalspeaker #iskcon #evolvepune ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Madan Sundar Das, a distinguished scholar, holds a Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in the United States.

Half Empty or Half Full? This Decides Your Life | Madan Sundar Das | ISKCON Hinjewadi

Madan Sundar Das December 19, 2025 7:15 pm

We are proud of our spirituality. We visit temples, offer prayers, perform rituals. Yet the very wisdom meant to guide our life… remains unopened. The Bhagavad Gita was not given to decorate an altar. It was given to educate the mind, strengthen character, and steady society. When scriptures are worshipped but not studied, faith becomes emotion, not transformation. Tradition becomes habit, not understanding. Until we begin reading, questioning, and reflecting, the joy of scripture will remain hidden not because it is difficult, but because it was never approached. Pick up the book. Open the pages. Let wisdom enter life. #bhagavadgita #scripturalwisdom #indianheritage #spiritualeducation #vedicwisdom #lifetransformation #readthegita #consciousliving #madansundardas #madansundardasofficial #madansundardasquotes #motivationalspeaker #iskcon #evolvepune ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Madan Sundar Das, a distinguished scholar, holds a Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in the United States.

Why should we read Bhagavad Gita | Madan Sundar Das | ISKCON Hinjewadi

Madan Sundar Das December 17, 2025 8:08 pm

Most people waste their energy fighting negative thoughts. But wisdom teaches something subtler, darkness is not removed by force, but by light. The mind works the same way. If you only resist negativity, it returns stronger. But when you fill the mind with higher inputs, negativity quietly exits. The Bhagavad Gita offers a practical path: Replace what drains you with gratitude and wisdom. Redirect the mind into meaningful action. Reconnect with uplifting people, sacred words, and higher purpose. An idle mind becomes a playground for negativity. An engaged mind becomes a place of clarity. Don’t wrestle your thoughts. Illuminate them. #bhagavadgita #mentalclarity #negativethoughts #mindmanagement #spiritualwisdom #innerpeace #gratitudepractice #upliftingthoughts #madansundardas #madansundardasofficial #madansundardasquotes #motivationalspeaker #iskcon #evolvepune ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ About Madan Sundar Das, a distinguished scholar, holds a Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in the United States.

How to handle negative thoughts? | Madan Sundar Das | ISKCON Hinjewadi

Madan Sundar Das December 15, 2025 7:44 pm

We are taught that adjustment is maturity. But the Gita teaches something deeper, balance is maturity. A bow bends to create strength. But a bow that bends beyond its limit… breaks. In life too, saying “yes” to everything may look like love, humility, or sacrifice. But when your boundaries collapse, your inner integrity collapses with it. True seva is not self-destruction. True love is not losing yourself. And true strength is not silent suffering. Bend when it nurtures peace. Stand firm when it protects your dignity. Because only a whole, grounded you can truly serve your family, your work, and this world. #selfrespect #boundaries #mentalhealthmatters #bhagavadgita #lifelessons #personalgrowth #mindfulchoices #dontbreakforyes #madansundardas #madansundardasofficial #motivationalspeaker #iskcon #evolvepune ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Madan Sundar Das, a distinguished scholar, holds a Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in the United States.

The Bow That Snapped: A Story You Must Hear | Madan Sundar Das | ISKCON Hinjewadi

Madan Sundar Das December 13, 2025 6:49 pm

Ever noticed how drained you feel after spending time with some people? Not because you worked too hard, but because you kept cleaning the mess others left in your mind. A monk once said, “Your peace is like a glass of clear water.” Kindness keeps it pure. Gossip and anger? They turn it muddy. And if you keep letting everyone throw things into it, one day, you’ll have no clarity left. The Gita teaches: “Be compassionate, but be wise.” Some people water your roots. Others poison your well. Protect your mind, not with arrogance, but with awareness. Because when your peace stays clear, your entire world reflects light. #selfgrowth #innerpeace #mindfulness #krishnaconsciousness #bhagavadgita #peaceofmind #toxicpeople #selfawareness #spiritualwisdom #mentalclarity #energyprotection #positivity #lifelessons #divinewisdom #quoteoftheday #iskcon #madansundardas #madansundardasofficial #madansundardasquotes #motivationalspeaker #evolvepune ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Madan Sundar Das, a distinguished scholar, holds a Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University in the United States.
