    WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH? THE BHAGAVAD GITA IS THE MANUAL FOR IT.

    Join Nick Zei and Hitesh in Rishikesh for a long-form conversation on the Bhagavad Gita and the hidden mechanics of consciousness. This is not a religious discussion. It is a direct exploration of how Krishna’s dialogue with Arjuna reveals the structure of human experience, choice, and purpose.

The discussion moves through its core teachings: Dharma and action with clarity Karma Yoga and the mechanics of choice Bhakti Yoga and devotion as intelligence Jñāna Yoga and the unity of Self and Source Equanimity, surrender, and flow as a mode of mastery Nick and Hitesh connect the Gita with broader philosophies, the biblical tradition, and the modern creator’s path. Expect exploration into identity, death, devotion, and navigating life with purpose. Filmed on the banks of the Ganga in Rishikesh, this episode weaves Eastern philosophy with modern consciousness studies. It reflects on the art of living and the practical structure of the Human Game.
