Making the Gita Accessible ft. Dr. Vijay Jayade | Podmasana | Ep. 3
Dr. Vijay Jayade, retired orthodontist and devoted student of the Bhagavad Gita, has spent decades making ancient wisdom accessible to modern readers. After watching generations lose connection to the Gita's teachings while struggling with anxiety, depression, and desperate competition, he took a radical approach—reorganizing the entire text by topic rather than verse order, writing "as a common man for other commoners." Now translating his Marathi book into English at age 80+, Dr. Jayade shares how Karma Yoga and mental equanimity from a 2,000-year-old battlefield dialogue offer guidance for navigating today's crises.
Topics
Bhagavad Gita, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, mental equanimity, spiritual accessibility, ancient wisdom, modern anxiety, depression, Sanskrit, spiritual teaching, common man approach, Dharma, orthodontics and spirituality, Indian philosophy, devotional practice, Marathi translation.
