We start a new chapter focused on understanding the nature of the power of God, what in the tradition is known as “His opulences”. This kind of aiswarya-jnana is very important to solidify one’s devotion to God and to prioritize service to Him. In this class, we covered verses 11.16.1-5.

We start this class with important verses where Krishna directly mentions His previous conversation with Arjuna, which we call the Bhagavad-gita, and compares it to this conversation He’s having with Uddhava, which we call the Uddhava-gita. We then proceed to read verses on important concepts of God, starting with the concept of Krishna as your soul (supersoul), always with you. In this class, we covered verses 11.16.6-10.

This class follows a close parallel to Chapter 10 of the Bhagavad-gita, where Krishna lists categories of things, points out the best thing in that category, and then says that He is that. In this class, we covered verses 11.16.11-16.

We continue hearing from Krishna the supremacy of God, in a section that’s just like Chapter 10 of Bhagavad-gita, where Krishna lists categories of things, points out the best thing in that category, and then says that He is that. In this class, we covered verses 11.16.17-26.

In this class, we covered verses 11.16.34-44.
