This is the third in a series of discourses on “Winning the Battle of Life” by Swami Smaranananda Giri, a senior YSS sannyasi.
In this talk, he explains slokas 4, 5, and 6, from Chapter I which describe the spiritual soldiers in the cerebrospinal centres — devotion, spiritual memory, discriminative intelligence, pranayama, and others that assist a devotee in his inner battle of Kurukshetra. These metaphysical soldiers, Paramahansaji says: “are the spiritual effects engendered by the devotee’s practice of yoga. They, along with the five principal Pandavas, come to the aid of the yogi to help him battle the evil soldiers of the sense mind.”
