commentary by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM
We are forever chasing happiness, but seem to enjoy only fleeting moments of it.
Why is it that we are journeying endlessly after so many goals? We are told to just enjoy the journey without worrying about the goal. But how do we manage to do this?
With an enlightened insight and unique style, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM captures the essence of the Bhagavad Gita and expresses it in a practical, contemporary fashion. He shows us how to drop the goal and live blissfully in every moment, in eternity ...
He leads the seeker on a path of blissful Self-discovery, just as Krishna, the Master of Masters, led Arjuna on his journey.
