The Course
The Bhagavad-gita is a theological and philosophical classic. In 700 concise verses, it summarises the conclusions of the Vedas, ancient scriptures written approximately 5000 years ago in the Sanskrit language. It covers topics ranging from religion to relationships, science to sociology, leadership to lifestyle management: the keys to all aspects of life, the universe and everything. For thousands of years, it has been a source of limitless inspiration for thinkers, leaders, and spiritual seekers.
The Gita, however, is best understood in the company of other spiritualists, where it can be discussed and dissected. Over 10 thought-provoking and interactive sessions, the Gita Life course provides a chapter-by-chapter summary, giving very relevant themes and life lessons from this historical epic. Each session is recorded and the audio and slides are sent out, so even if you cannot attend all the sessions in person, you'll be able to catch up in your own time.
