November 22, 2015 Bhaja Govindam

Hari Om,
We finally got more copies of Bhaja Govindam this week.
Today we refocused on the Guru Stotram. We chanted the entire stotram and once again looked at the background of this hymn. We discussed the meaning of verses 4-6 in depth and found parallels to tour previous discussion on Bhaja Govindam.
We had some interesting discussions on Bhaja Govindam without actually reading the textbook by elaborating on the concepts we discussed in the earlier weeks.
We talked about the BMI pyramid and how we can achieve success if only we can control our mind and make our intellect strong. We talked about a framework for achieving success discussed in the weekend's lecture using the 3 cs of concentration, consistency and cooperation.
We can remove distractions of mind using the intellect by removing worries of the past or anxieties about the future. We discussed how our vasanas affect our daily transactions and our control of the mind and the strength of our intellect. We also talked about Karma yoga what it is and how it can be a means for realization.
Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone!
See you all next month on December 6th.
Hari Om!
