Taking off our Material "Costume": Uncovering our Real Self through Bhakti Yoga

What if you showed up to work this Spring wearing one of your old Halloween costumes? Sounds ridiculous, right? But according to the Bhagavad-gītā, that’s exactly what material consciousness is like. In this Bhakti Fundamentals video, we explore the Gītā’s teaching that we—the eternal soul within the body—change bodies at the time of death, just like we change clothes each day—in other words, we acquire a new material “costume” every lifetime. Is there a way to break free from this cycle of constantly changing our material costumes? Listen in to discover how Bhakti Yoga—especially chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahā-mantra—can help us shed our costume and reconnect with our true spiritual identity.
