It is in this context, Bhagawan sri Sathya Sai Baba, in His infinite love and compassion for the Mankind, has delivered a series of 34 discourses on Bhagavad Gita in the year 1984 in Prashanti Nilayam to awake and instil a sense of duty in us. In His inimitable style punctuated with short stories and small poems, Swami teaches that the Bhagavad Gita is not merely a book to be revered and worshiped, but its teachings practiced and lived. Taking the first word ‘Mama’  in the first sloka and the last word ‘Dharma’ in the last sloka of the Gita, He teaches that the essence of Bhagavad Gita is ‘Mama Dharma’ (doing one’s own duty).
