Course Information

Here is your one-time opportunity this year to enter the depths of the epic Bhagavad Gita.

This course will provide devotees with an in-depth understanding of this ‘Song of God’. It will unravel layers of knowledge through selected key verses, each supported by authorised commentaries of Vaishnava Acarayas.

This deep ocean of knowledge will be explored from a variety of sources that were used by Srila Prabhupada himself when compiling his commentaries on Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam.

Hear the pearls of wisdom of the great Acarayas. Essential to this course is that devotees are ready to explore an intriguing variety of philosophical and Sanskrit grammar viewpoints to seek the mercy hidden in these verses. You will experience a comparison study of Srila Prabhupada’s purports alongside the wisdom of Vaishnava Acaryas like:
