The Bhagavad Gītā, or the Lord’s Song, is one of (if not) the greatest spiritual works in Sanskrit that Mother India has provided to humanity and an essential study for any seeker of Truth. Praised and studied by humanitarian leaders and great thinkers of the 20th century, including Mahatma Gandhi and Henry David Thoreau, the Gītā’s teachings are timeless and universal, relevant to all of humanity, despite being at 2,000 years old.
In this study of the Bhagavad Gītā, we will cover all 18 Chapters of the text over the course of 8 meetings. Our focus will be on understanding as well as real-life integration of the way of living that the Gītā suggests. We will also look at the Gītā from a few different perspectives and the different interpretations that Saints and philosophers have given to its 700 versus.
All meetings will be in-person as well as online via zoom. Session will also be recorded and made available for viewing after the live class. Meetings will be Tuesdays and Thursdays in the evening for about 90min at 7pm (Eastern) on the following dates:
Tuesday, July 13th
Thursday, July 15th
Tuesday, July 20nd
Thursday, July 22nd
Tuesday, July 27th
Thursday, July 29th
Tuesday, Aug 3rd
Thursday, Aug 5th
“When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad-Gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi
