In Satsang 5 of the Finland Retreat, Sri M begins with a very brief description of Chapters 10 and 11 of the Bhagavad Gita before delving into Chapter 12 — Bhakti Yoga. He offers a detailed, shloka-by-shloka explanation of this chapter, illuminating the essence of devotion and surrender. The session concludes with two beautiful stories — one about Krishna’s moments with Uddhava and another illustrating Kunti’s unwavering Bhakti.
