Sri Krishna’s Great Swan Song
The Lord’s Conclusions in the Uddhava Gita
In the many-faceted life of Sri Krishna, accompanied by its several divine songs (gitas), the Uddhava Gita, spoken and transmitted to the Lord’s disciple at the latter stage of his life, is replete with spiritual knowledge, all gleaned over the span of a truly divine lifetime of sportive play combined with selfless service. Much like the Lord’s song to Arjuna, earlier, what Uddhava received from his master was life transforming, and timely as well, seeing that the age they were incarnated in (Dvapara Yuga) was about to expire, and the Avatar was soon to disembody and return to His Eternal Abode. Thus, the teachings offered to Uddhava were infused with an urgency that was in keeping with leaving the body and departure from the earthly realm — all in an enlightened state.
Within the 24 chapters of the Uddhava Gita are to be found, among others, teachings from the 24 teachers of the Avadhut, all found at the outset of the scripture. The duality of bondage and liberation is also taught, as well as in-depth wisdom on the 3 gunas and their causes. Clarity on the Four Yogas find a home is this Gita as well, and the entire Sankhya Yoga system of philosophy receives elucidation and rendering by the Lord. And of course, Krishna’s signature teachings on the laws of karma are transmitted in a most adept way, making the Uddhava Gita a prime source of jnanam, bhakti, karma, and meditation/contemplation.
