# U - Uddhava-gita (7-29)

*In response to Uddhava’s heartfelt request, Krishna advised him to embrace renunciation and prepare to leave this world. Seeking guidance on how best to do this, Krishna began His explanations on a variety of topics, focusing in on the glory of pure devotional service. Particularly interesting passages include the instructions of the twenty-four gurus, the Bhiksu-gita and the Aila-gita. There is also an exposition on Varnasrama-dharma, as well as an explanation of the various constituents of material nature. These profound teachings are famed as the Uddhava-gita.*
