We experience conflicts almost everyday – be it internal or external. Internally there is conflict between the choices we make, self made pacts we want to adhere to, choosing between long term benefit vs short term benefit, etc. And externally we see conflicts at our workplace, between colleagues, family members, society, nations, religions, etc.
The ancient Sanskrit texts of India such as the Bhagavad Gita provide deep insights into the root cause of conflicts and its solutions. In this talk, Radhanath Swami will explore the inner workings of ego and consciousness based on these texts and discuss how we can resolve many of the modern day conflicts effectively.
