Day 300 Special: Ten Mins Talk Live with Jagdish Sir (Recording)
Video by Jiva Balance
This live special marks day 300 of the daily Ten Mins Talk, which is heading for 365 days. The host opens by explaining Sankalpa as a sacred intention and firm resolve, then introduces Jagdish Sir and three panellists who work in the corporate sector: Anurag, Dr Kavita and Rahul. Jagdish Sir describes how the series began. A founding member suggested he share his Vedantic conversations online. He also saw that people today live in comfort yet still feel unhappy and incomplete, and he wondered whether Vedanta could fill that gap. So he decided to bring the wisdom of the Bhagavad-Gita and the Upanishads into short daily talks, spoken like friends chatting. The panellists talk about using the teachings in their lives. Anurag explains how watching his reactions as a witness, without projecting the past onto the moment, helps him stay calm, especially with his teenage daughters. Kavita says the talks reconnected her with her Bharatiya heritage and built spiritual stamina. She focuses on the action in hand, offers the results to Bhagwan, holds on less to ego and desire, and gives people space and empathy in difficult work conversations. Rahul names specific talks on happiness, Karma-Yoga and responsibility. They taught him to pause, ask what his duty is, and leave the results to God, and this helped him support his young son as the boy adjusts to life in Germany. Asked what the best age is to begin spirituality, Jagdish Sir says the shastra recommends starting as soon as a child understands likes and dislikes, around four or five. Failing that, a person should turn inward whenever life brings great joy or deep dejection, as Arjuna did. He notes that every chapter of the Gita ends with the word yog, meaning the unity of the self with the supreme. The session closes with thanks to the guru lineage, the Purnamadah Shanti Mantra, an invitation to keep listening, and a word about Platonix as a platform devoted to spirituality.
